MRI-guided heart procedure for dangerous abnormal rhythms
This trial studies a heart rhythm procedure (“ablation”) for people with ischemic cardiomyopathy who have ongoing episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia. It aims to reduce these dangerous rhythm events, especially when standard anti-rhythm medications don’t work or can’t be used.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT05546372Recruiting
Radiofrequency ablation to treat blocked bile ducts from bile cancer
This study tests whether radiofrequency ablation can improve treatment for people who have a malignant (cancer-related) blockage of the bile ducts near the liver (perihilar cholangiocarcinoma). It’s for patients who are not good candidates for curative surgery and who need bile-duct drainage using a specific stent (uSEMS).
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05551299RecruitingPhase 4
Non-surgical treatment for bile duct cancer using heat or light
This trial tests whether treating hilar bile duct cancer with either radiofrequency ablation (heat) or photodynamic therapy (light-activated medicine) can help patients when surgery isn’t an option. It aims to treat the tumor directly without planned surgery soon.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT05617456Recruiting
Test new ablation technology for treating irregular heart rhythm
This study tests advanced technology to improve how atrial fibrillation (AFib) is treated with a heart ablation procedure. It may help patients who are already advised to have AFib ablation by seeing how well the approach works in real clinical practice.
PisaAges Any age - NCT05633303Recruiting
Personalized ablation plan for persistent atrial fibrillation
This trial looks at whether tailoring an ablation procedure to you can work better for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It’s for patients getting their first left atrial ablation and who have had AF for less than 24 months.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05638841Recruiting
Study of repeat atrial fibrillation risk after ablation
This study follows adults who have had a procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat, to understand who is more likely to have it return. It may help doctors predict risk and plan follow-up after the procedure.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05643209Recruiting
Mapping and ablation to treat abnormal heart electrical signals
This study uses detailed 3D heart mapping to find where abnormal electrical activity starts in Brugada syndrome and then performs ablation (a targeted scar or block). It’s mainly for adults who have had concerning symptoms and already have an implanted defibrillator (ICD).
Cotignola, RavennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05696522Recruiting
Radiation to treat hard-to-control dangerous heart rhythm
This trial tests a focused type of radiation to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT) that keeps coming back despite other treatments. It may help people who cannot (or do not want to) have the usual catheter procedure to fix the rhythm.
LondonAges 18–85 - NCT05717166RecruitingPhase 3
Stereotactic radiation for limited metastases with a main tumor
This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation can control cancer that has spread to a limited number of sites (1–10) while you also have the main tumor. It aims to improve outcomes by treating all visible cancer spots with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy.
Prince George, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05750901Recruiting
Laser treatment study for loose skin or scars
This study tests a laser procedure to improve visible skin looseness or scars. You may be eligible if you have a targeted skin area needing treatment and can follow scheduled visits and after-care.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT05765175Recruiting
Radioablation versus repeat ablation for hard-to-treat VT
This trial compares a heart procedure using targeted radiation (called radioablation) to a repeat catheter ablation for people with high-risk, hard-to-control ventricular tachycardia (VT). It aims to find which approach is safer and works better after standard ablation and amiodarone have not stopped the abnormal rhythm.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05776797Recruiting
Ablation vs best medicines for CRT patients with permanent atrial fibrillation
This trial compares two approaches—an AV junction ablation procedure versus continued best medical treatment—in people who already have a heart device for heart failure (CRT) but still have ongoing permanent atrial fibrillation. It aims to improve how well your heart rhythm is controlled and how effectively the device can pace your heart.
Liberec, Liberec RegionAges 18–85 - NCT05777551Recruiting
High-power short treatment for irregular heartbeat
This trial studies a specific heart-rhythm procedure that uses higher power for a shorter time to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heartbeat. It may help some people control AF and reduce rhythm episodes, while doctors compare outcomes using their chosen approach.
ParisAges 18–80 - NCT05790213RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy plus targeted prostate treatment for intermediate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining hormone treatment (androgen deprivation therapy) with focal ablation (targeted destruction of prostate tissue) controls intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It may help some men avoid or reduce more aggressive treatment, while still aiming for cancer control.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05790707Recruiting
Ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation to help memory
This study checks whether a procedure called atrial fibrillation ablation can slow memory problems in people who already have mild cognitive impairment. Participants will be tested on thinking and memory before and after treatment to see if the procedure helps.
