Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT07751302Recruiting
Follow-up vs. chemo after surgery for early stomach cancer
This trial compares two approaches after surgery for early-stage stomach or GEJ cancer: close monitoring (follow-up) vs. adjuvant chemotherapy (chemo given after surgery). It aims to see if follow-up alone is as good as chemo for patients with this stage, potentially avoiding chemo side effects.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07170176Recruiting
PFO closure and migraine: can it help?
This trial tests if closing a common heart defect (PFO) can improve migraine symptoms and brain function. It compares people with migraine who get the closure procedure to those without migraine.
Luoyang, HenanAges 18–60 - NCT06651970RecruitingPhase 4
Acalabrutinib for chronic lymphocytic leukemia with heart problems
This trial tests a targeted therapy called acalabrutinib (a pill) against other standard treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in people who also have heart conditions. The goal is to see if acalabrutinib is a safer or more effective option for this group.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–130 - NCT05364879Recruiting
Exercise before ovarian cancer surgery
This trial tests whether supervised exercise (before surgery) can help people with advanced ovarian cancer get ready for treatment. It’s meant to improve readiness and safety during the time leading up to surgery.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06534489Recruiting
Surgery for lung cancer after chemo or targeted therapy
This trial tests whether combining chemo or targeted therapy before surgery can help people with non-small cell lung cancer that may require removing a whole lung. We want to see if this approach makes the surgery safer and more effective.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06089902Recruiting
European registry for anomalous aortic origin of coronary arteries
This is a European registry for people with an anomalous origin of a coronary artery from the aorta (AAOCA). It will track how the condition is treated—whether with surgery or monitoring—to learn what works best.
Padova, PDAges Any age - NCT06633133Recruiting
Virtual ileostomy vs. diverting ileostomy for rectal cancer surgery
This trial compares a virtual ileostomy (a system that monitors leaks without creating a temporary opening) to a traditional diverting ileostomy (a temporary bag) in people having rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if the virtual method is safer and avoids a second surgery.
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT06907849Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Imaging amyloid in spinal stenosis and carpal tunnel
This trial tests a special scan that uses a radioactive tracer to look for amyloid protein deposits in people who have had surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine in the lower back) or carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to see if the scan can detect these deposits, which may be linked to ongoing orthopedic issues.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 60 years+ - NCT03750227RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation before or after brain tumor surgery
This study compares giving focused, high-precision radiation before or after surgery for brain metastases. It aims to see which timing works best to control tumors and improve outcomes.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04913727Recruiting
Testing heart scan predictions after mitral valve repair
This trial studies severe secondary mitral valve leaking and uses heart imaging to predict how well the heart and symptoms improve after a less-invasive valve procedure. It may help doctors better forecast who benefits most from this repair.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05568069Recruiting
Study of defibrillator implants for non-ischemic weak heart
This study looks at whether implantable defibrillators can reduce dangerous heart rhythms in people with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (heart weakness not caused by blocked heart arteries), a heart scar, and very low pumping strength despite best treatment. It compares different approaches to choosing which patients should receive these devices.
High Wycombe, BuckinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06857838Recruiting
Bypass surgery for symptomatic myocardial bridge
This trial tests whether bypass surgery is effective for people with a myocardial bridge (a heart muscle that arches over an artery) that still causes symptoms despite medication. It aims to see if surgery can improve symptoms and outcomes.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07182682RecruitingPhase 3
Sunvozertinib after surgery for early-stage NSCLC with certain EGFR mutations
This trial tests the drug sunvozertinib given after surgery to see if it prevents lung cancer from coming back. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that has specific changes in the EGFR gene (exon20 insertion or PACC mutations).
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06835049RecruitingPhase 2
Heating therapy before surgery for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a new approach for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma of the arm, leg, or trunk. Before surgery, you would receive chemotherapy combined with local hyperthermia (a treatment that gently heats the tumor area) to see if this can improve outcomes.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT06504147RecruitingPhase 2
Radspherin for ovarian cancer with peritoneal spread
This trial tests a radioactive treatment called Radspherin given during surgery for advanced ovarian cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. It is for people whose tumors are HR proficient (a specific genetic type) and who have already had chemotherapy before surgery.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07590635Recruiting
Heart Recovery Program Using Online Health Tools
