Stopping versus continuing blood thinner during heart catheter procedures
This study compares whether you should temporarily stop your blood thinner (DOAC) or keep taking it when you have an elective heart catheter test or procedure (coronary angiography or PCI). It aims to see which approach is safer and better for preventing bleeding and clotting around the procedure.
Heerlen, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04978948Recruiting
Study of a blood protein level in autoimmune disease
This study looks at how a specific protein on cell surfaces (called STIM1) appears in people with autoimmune diseases. The goal is to understand what affects this protein and how it may relate to autoimmune illness.
Brest, BrestAges 18–99 - NCT04982965RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study brain changes behind cannabis pain relief
This early study looks at how the brain may respond to cannabis to reduce long-lasting lower back pain. You may be asked to follow strict rules about cannabis, opioids, and safety checks (including MRI) to help researchers understand the brain mechanisms.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 21–65 - NCT04983823Recruiting
Study aims to improve long-term heart effects after COVID
This trial looks at how persistent heart-related changes after a past COVID infection may be affected by study treatments. It mainly seeks people who are stable enough for follow-up visits and heart imaging, and who are not already on the specific heart medications required.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 50–85 - NCT04984226RecruitingPhase 2
Sodium bicarbonate for kidney disease energy and acidity
This trial studies whether taking sodium bicarbonate changes “energy” in cells and improves metabolic acidosis (an acid build-up) in people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. You may be able to join if your kidney function and blood bicarbonate levels fit their targets and you meet safety rules.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 21–85 - NCT04991103RecruitingPhase 2
Testing delaying stem cell transplant after early myeloma response
This Phase 2 study tests whether people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma can safely delay or avoid an immediate stem cell transplant if they respond well to early treatment. It aims to see if this “response-adapted” approach can still control the disease while reducing the need for upfront transplant for some patients.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04995224Recruiting
Study what causes long-term pain in new Crohn’s or colitis
This study looks at why some people develop long-term pain after being newly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. It may help researchers understand the pain process and improve future treatments.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05000996Recruiting
Gut microbiome study for people having metabolic surgery
This study looks at your gut bacteria (your “microbiome”) around the time of metabolic surgery. It may help researchers understand how surgery affects gut health and related conditions like diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 21–65 - NCT05002543Recruiting
Real-world study of heart valve repair devices for multiple valves
This study checks how well and how safely CORCYM valve devices work in real-world patients with heart valve problems in the aortic, mitral, and/or tricuspid positions. It may help doctors understand expected outcomes outside of tightly controlled research settings.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT05003947RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell infusion for Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis safety
This Phase 1 trial tests whether an IV infusion of donated (allogeneic) stem cells is safe in people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. It focuses mainly on safety and tolerability, and it may offer a new treatment approach if you qualify.
St John'sAges Any age - NCT05005793RecruitingPhase 4
Alkali treatment to improve kidney graft blood vessel function
This trial tests whether adding an “alkali” treatment (to raise low blood bicarbonate) can improve blood vessel and kidney graft function in people whose kidney transplant is about 1 year old. It may help if you have lower-than-normal bicarbonate levels while on stable transplant and blood pressure medicines.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–80 - NCT05004987RecruitingPhase 4
Study brain and blood changes in older adults with depression
This study looks at how a brain protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease changes over time in older adults who have major depression but no major memory problems. It involves brain scans, blood and urine tests, and a spinal fluid sample to better understand the connection between depression and brain aging.
New York, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT05008081Recruiting
Study for COPD flare-ups given standard rescue medicines
This study looks at people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up (“exacerbation”). It may help improve how flare-ups are treated because participants need to receive the usual rescue medicines like steroids and/or antibiotics and then follow a study plan.
LinzAges 18 years+ - NCT05008276Recruiting
Study of puberty, diabetes, and kidney stress in teens
This trial studies how puberty and blood sugar changes affect the kidneys in people with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand early kidney risk and identify who needs closer monitoring.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 8–14 - NCT05009758Recruiting
Asthma and nasal polyps study to match immune patterns
This study looks at different “immune inflammation patterns” in people with asthma and/or nasal polyps. It may help researchers better tailor future treatments by figuring out which patterns go with which symptoms.
ViennaAges 18–99 - NCT05009433Recruiting
Exercise plans in pregnancy and afterward for mom and baby health
This study compares two types of exercise—short, intense intervals versus moderate steady activity—during pregnancy and looks at effects on mothers and children. It also checks how participants do on health, fitness, and well-being tests before, during, and after pregnancy.
Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 18–45 - NCT05014178Recruiting
Kidney salt imaging scan with MRI
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how your kidneys handle salt (sodium). It may help researchers better understand kidney function in healthy people and in people with chronic kidney disease.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05016219Recruiting
Light therapy to improve sleep and thinking in early Alzheimer’s
This trial studies rhythmic light therapy to help people with early Alzheimer’s or mild memory problems, especially when sleep is getting worse. If you fit the sleep and vision/medical safety requirements, the study may see whether the therapy improves sleep and thinking-related symptoms.
Menands, New YorkAges 55 years+ - NCT05018845RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a donated stem cell treatment for chronic kidney disease
This early study (Phase 1) tests whether an intravenously given, donated stem cell product is safe for people with chronic kidney disease. It mainly looks at side effects and whether the treatment can be given without harming you.
St John'sAges Any age - NCT05020574RecruitingPhase 2
Study how the microbiome may affect breast implant infections
This Phase 2 study looks at whether changes in the body’s “microbiome” (the normal germs in and on the body) are linked to infections after breast surgery with implants. It may help doctors better predict and prevent implant infections in people undergoing mastectomy with immediate implant placement.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05023772Recruiting
Laser and targeted radiation for spine metastases
This trial tests a combination treatment that uses a laser and focused radiation to shrink tumors in the spine and help stabilize the area near the spinal cord. It’s meant for adults with certain types of solid cancers that have limited spread in the spine and who are not good candidates for surgery.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05029336RecruitingPhase 2
