StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT04707872Recruiting
Study of a blood test after heart transplant
This study checks whether a special blood test can help detect heart transplant rejection or problems by comparing it to biopsy results. It may help your care team monitor your transplant with less guesswork.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges Any age - NCT04731857Recruiting
Genetic testing results study for rare diseases
This study looks at how well different genetic tests (whole exome/genome sequencing and standard genetic tests) work for diagnosing rare genetic diseases and inherited cancer conditions. It may help confirm which testing approach provides the clearest results for families.
TübingenAges Any age - NCT04742608Recruiting
Liquid blood tests to diagnose thyroid nodules or cancer
This study tests whether a blood “liquid biopsy” can help diagnose thyroid cancer or hard-to-tell thyroid nodules without needing extra procedures. It may help confirm what’s going on before or around planned thyroid surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04726306Enrolling by invitation
Compare two scoring systems for hyperbaric care quality
This study compares two different ways to rate how well hyperbaric (pressure-based) medical care is being done. It aims to find which scoring method is more accurate and consistent.
Sleepy Hollow, New YorkAges Any age - NCT04607369Enrolling by invitation
Test using an app to map eye vision blind spots
This trial tests how well an EyeCTester smartphone app can measure vision blind spots and distorted vision compared with standard eye tests. If you qualify, you’ll do short near-vision and “Amsler grid” style tasks in the clinic to help confirm the app is accurate.
Bellaire, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04627818Recruiting
Study of reproductive health in women with a uterus variant
This study looks at reproductive health in women who have a specific type of uterus variation. It may help doctors understand diagnosis and treatment options and how these conditions affect fertility and daily health.
GhentAges Up to 45 years - NCT04641702RecruitingPhase 4
Esophageal function study
This study looks at how well the esophagus works in people with swallowing problems, to improve diagnosis and treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04473794Recruiting
Testing ways to assess pancreatic cyst risk and progression
This study looks at patients who have been referred for evaluation of a pancreatic cyst. It aims to improve how doctors estimate risk and predict how cysts may change over time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04466059Recruiting
AI tool for leukemia diagnosis using blood or marrow samples
This study tests whether an AI (computer system) can help improve leukemia and related blood cancer diagnoses. You may be able to help if your doctor is already evaluating you for a possible blood disorder and your sample is high enough quality for testing.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT04364503Enrolling by invitation
Study that analyzes de-identified patient samples and records
This trial checks how well patient samples and health records can be analyzed when names are removed (“de-identified”) and privacy rules are followed. You might be included if you agree in writing and your sample data can be used for this research and/or your doctor requests it.
