Emicizumab study for severe von Willebrand disease or overlap disorder
This Phase 1 trial studies how well and safely emicizumab works for people with severe von Willebrand disease (VWD) or VWD plus hemophilia A. Emicizumab is a preventive medicine given regularly to reduce bleeding risk.
Orange, CaliforniaAges birth–90 years - NCT05493657Recruiting
Aspirin vs clopidogrel after TAVR valve procedure
This trial compares aspirin and clopidogrel (two blood-thinning medicines) after TAVR to see which is safer or more effective for preventing clots. You may be able to join if you recently had a TAVR for severe aortic valve narrowing and can follow the study plan.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05492344Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided breathing support for severe lung failure
This study tests whether using an ultrasound scan to guide a breathing machine settings can improve care for people with moderate or severe ARDS, a serious lung condition. If you qualify, the team will compare the ultrasound-guided approach to standard ventilator care in the ICU.
BrusselsAges 18–100 - NCT05488093Recruiting
Testing knee movement in severe knee arthritis before replacement surgery
This study checks how well your knee moves and how that relates to pain and function in people with severe knee arthritis who are about to get total knee replacement. It may help doctors better plan and evaluate treatment before surgery.
MontpellierAges 60 years+ - NCT05461092RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nerve blocks to improve pain control after spinal fusion
This early-stage study tests whether a regional nerve block can improve pain control and recovery for older adults having elective lumbar spinal fusion. If you qualify, you may receive a special pain-control injection during surgery to reduce opioid needs and improve recovery comfort.
Iowa City, IowaAges 65 years+ - NCT05461222Recruiting
Balloon treatment before birth for severe diaphragmatic hernia
This study looks at placing a small balloon in a baby’s windpipe before birth to help severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The goal is to improve lung growth and birth outcomes by testing whether this timing and method can help babies with the most severe cases.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT04889872Recruiting
Watchful waiting or TAVR for moderate aortic valve narrowing
This study compares regular monitoring (“clinical surveillance”) versus replacing the aortic valve using a minimally invasive procedure called TAVR for people with moderate aortic stenosis. It aims to see which approach better reduces symptoms or heart damage over time.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 65 years+ - NCT05450653Recruiting
FETO balloon treatment for severe birth diaphragm hernia
This trial tests a special pregnancy procedure called FETO to help babies born with severe congenital diaphragm hernia (CDH) breathe better after birth. It may help by improving lung growth, but it requires close follow-up at a Chicago fetal center.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05437536Recruiting
Severe von Willebrand disease patient registry in the U.S.
This registry collects health and bleeding information from people who have severe von Willebrand disease (a lifelong bleeding condition). Your data helps researchers understand the condition better and supports future studies that may lead to better treatments.
Wellington, FloridaAges Any age - NCT05438862Recruiting
Early aortic valve surgery versus watchful waiting
This trial compares two approaches for people with a leaking aortic valve but no symptoms: early surgery or careful monitoring (“watchful waiting”). It aims to see which strategy better prevents future heart problems and when surgery is most helpful.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT05386316Enrolling by invitation
Maternal health program for racial equity in select counties
This study offers a maternal health intervention aimed at improving outcomes and promoting racial equity. You may be eligible if you lived in one of the specific intervention counties when you gave birth.
Flint, MichiganAges Any age - NCT05350215RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing atomoxetine and DAW2022 for obstructive sleep apnea severity
This study tests whether atomoxetine and DAW2022 can improve how severe obstructive sleep apnea is. It may help by changing breathing patterns during sleep, measured through physiology tests.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - NCT05296408Recruiting
Arm exoskeleton rehab for chronic stroke weakness
This trial tests a wearable arm exoskeleton that uses your muscle signals to help rehab a weak arm after stroke. It may help improve arm movement by pairing training with this device, but you must meet specific movement, skin, and scan-safety requirements.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–89 - NCT05294744Recruiting
N-acetylcysteine plus usual care for severe alcoholic hepatitis
This study tests whether adding N-acetylcysteine to standard treatment helps people with severe alcoholic hepatitis. It may improve liver outcomes, especially for those with a high Maddrey score.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, ÁlavaAges 18–75 - NCT05283356RecruitingPhase 4
Ticagrelor or aspirin after heart valve replacement
This trial compares two blood thinners (ticagrelor and aspirin) to see which one works better at preventing blood clots after a less-invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI). It is for people with severe aortic stenosis who also have diabetes, heart disease, or artery disease.
Vigo, PontevedraAges 18 years+ - NCT03821636Recruiting
Compare gastric bypass limb lengths for type 2 diabetes remission
This study looks at whether a gastric bypass surgery with a longer intestine segment or a longer bile drainage segment leads to better type 2 diabetes remission in people with severe obesity. It may help doctors choose the most effective surgical approach and follow-up plan for diabetes improvement.
