How head injuries affect brain health
This study looks at how mild or moderate head injuries (concussions) may relate to brain conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease. By comparing people with and without head injuries, researchers hope to learn more about what causes brain changes over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30–90 - NCT04028687Recruiting
Study of a hip stem used in select adult hip replacements
This trial follows people who have had a hip replacement using a specific “Taperloc Complete” stem. It is meant to monitor outcomes after surgery and see how well the stem performs over time for certain non-infectious hip problems.
Henderson, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT05870969Recruiting
Digital monitoring to catch liver cancer risk early
This study tests a digital (computer/phone-based) system to help track people with higher risk of liver cancer so cancers can be found earlier. It may help by guiding regular check-ins and making early diagnosis more efficient.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06468774Recruiting
Test for gut ischemia in chronic belly artery disease
This study tests a blood marker for chronic mesenteric ischemia (poor blood flow to the gut). If it works, it could help doctors diagnose the condition faster and more easily.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT04758975RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus rituximab plus ibrutinib for early CLL
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of three medicines to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has not been treated before and where the goal is to achieve very low remaining disease. It may help some people stay in remission longer, but eligibility depends on your age, organ function, and prior treatments.
Milan, MIAges 18–65 - NCT06075602Recruiting
Complex and calcified coronary artery disease: a registry study
This study watches how people with complex or calcified heart artery disease are treated (with stents or bypass surgery) and how they do over time. It aims to learn which treatments work best for tough blockages.
Lucerne, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT05956379Enrolling by invitation
Exercise and monitoring study for chronic hepatitis B with fatty liver
This study follows adults with chronic hepatitis B who also have fatty liver and tests an exercise approach to see how it affects liver health. You may be followed over time and helped with an exercise plan if you qualify.
Taipei, Zhongzheng Dist.Ages 18–70 - NCT06502015Recruiting
Biomarkers in nervous system autoimmune diseases
This study looks for biomarkers (biological clues) in people with autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. It aims to discover better ways to diagnose and treat these conditions.
