Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06290687RecruitingPhase 2
Partial cystectomy with chemo for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether removing part of the bladder (partial cystectomy) along with standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy before surgery is effective for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread beyond the bladder.
Cleveland, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT04457544Recruiting
Registry for people with newly diagnosed SCAD
This is a national Swiss registry that collects information about people who have been newly diagnosed with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) or diagnosed within the last 5 years. Your participation can help doctors better understand SCAD and improve future care.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT03876847Enrolling by invitation
Study genetics in people with spontaneous artery tears
This study looks for genetic (inherited) reasons some people develop SCAD, a sudden tear in a heart artery. It compares people with SCAD to people without it and may help doctors recognize risk and causes.
Ages Any age - NCT01427179Recruiting
Studying genes in families affected by SCAD
This study looks at genetic (inherited) causes of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in families. It may help researchers understand why SCAD happens and how it could be prevented or identified earlier in others.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT02989818Recruiting
Study of an endoscopy procedure called ESD
This trial evaluates how useful a procedure called ESD is for patients as part of routine care. ESD is done during an endoscopy, and the study checks whether it works well and is helpful in the real world.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT06492980Recruiting
Stent graft for acute type I aortic dissection repair
This trial tests a special stent graft for people with a sudden tear in the inner layer of the aorta (type I aortic dissection) that needs urgent repair. It aims to see if the device can help treat the condition safely.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 20–65 - NCT05342233Recruiting
Compare watchful care versus catheter treatment for a bowel artery tear
This study compares two ways to treat an isolated tear in the superior mesenteric artery (a blood vessel that supplies the intestines): conservative (watchful care) versus endovascular (catheter-based) treatment. It may help doctors figure out which approach works best for people whose condition is confirmed on a CT angiogram and who are stable enough for either plan.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07497633Enrolling by invitation
SCAD study at Mayo Clinic
This study is for people who have a scheduled appointment at Mayo Clinic for SCAD (a tear in a heart artery). It looks at how SCAD affects people over time, and why it happens.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–99 - NCT06611176Recruiting
Pain relief after esophageal lesion removal using a numbing medication
This trial tests whether injecting a long-acting numbing medicine (levobupivacaine) into the esophagus after removing a large lesion can reduce pain. If you're scheduled for this procedure, you may experience less discomfort afterward.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06405971Recruiting
Metformin for unruptured brain aneurysms
This trial tests whether the diabetes drug metformin can help prevent unruptured aneurysms in the back part of the brain from growing or causing problems. It is for people whose aneurysms show a specific sign on an MRI scan.

Study of nerves involved in spontaneous coronary artery dissection
This study looks at how the body’s automatic “fight-or-flight” nerve system may relate to spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). If you have a SCAD history, your results may help researchers understand the condition better; if you’re a healthy control, your data are compared to SCAD patients.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07658651Recruiting
Plug for type B aortic dissection repair
This trial tests a special plug (WeFlow-EndoSeal) placed into the false channel of a type B aortic dissection to help seal it. It is for people who are already getting a stent-graft and aims to improve the repair.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07150559Recruiting
Arch-clamping under mild cooling for acute aortic dissection
This trial tests a surgical technique called arch-clamping under mild hypothermia (cooling the body slightly during surgery) to treat acute type A aortic dissection. It may help patients who need immediate total aortic arch replacement.
