Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT06732388RecruitingPhase 2
Itraconazole with ablation to prevent esophageal cancer in Barrett's esophagus
This trial tests if adding the antifungal drug itraconazole to standard ablation therapy can help prevent esophageal cancer in people with high-risk Barrett's esophagus. You must have a confirmed diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus with low- or high-grade dysplasia or early-stage cancer, and be planning to have ablation treatment.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06685289RecruitingPhase 2
Donafenib and capecitabine after surgery for biliary cancer with high risk of return
This trial tests whether taking donafenib and capecitabine pills after surgery can help prevent biliary cancer from coming back in people who have a high risk of recurrence. It is for patients whose cancer was completely removed but had certain features that make recurrence more likely.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07030881Recruiting
Spacer use in older adults with COPD or asthma on triple therapy
This trial tests whether using a spacer with your inhaler can lower the risk of serious flare-ups for people over 65 who have COPD or asthma and are already on triple therapy.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 65 years+ - NCT07393867RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA-guided radiation boost for prostate cancer
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy (SBRT) that delivers a higher dose directly to the main tumor in your prostate, guided by a PSMA PET scan. It aims to improve cancer control while limiting side effects.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07122622Recruiting
Spleen stiffness test to check for dangerous veins in the liver
This trial uses a non-invasive ultrasound test to measure spleen stiffness, which may help find problems with blood pressure in the liver and identify enlarged veins that can bleed. It could help avoid more invasive tests.
Roma, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07620834Recruiting
AI-Guided Bone Density Screening for High-Risk Adults
This study tests whether artificial intelligence can help identify people at risk for weak bones (osteoporosis) using chest X-rays. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to either standard screening or AI-enhanced screening to see which approach works better.
ChanghuaAges 40–80 - NCT04184505RecruitingPhase 3
Testing stem cell transplant in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
This Phase 3 trial tests whether doing an “allogeneic” stem cell transplant works best for people newly diagnosed with higher-risk MDS (a bone marrow disorder). It’s mainly for patients who are healthy enough to receive a transplant and haven’t started MDS treatment yet.
