BrusselsAges Any age - NCT04890171Recruiting
Endoscopic removal vs surgery for early stomach cancer type
This trial compares two ways to treat early stomach cancer: removing it through an endoscope versus doing an operation. It’s meant for a specific stomach-cancer type (undifferentiated) that has not spread, to see which approach may be better.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–75 - NCT04906356Recruiting
Study of SCAD after a heart attack or unstable chest pain
This study looks at people admitted with a recent heart event (STEMI, NSTEMI, or unstable angina) and who were found to have SCAD on a heart scan. It may help doctors better understand and manage SCAD after these urgent events.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04937868Recruiting
Guiding CT scans for belly and pelvis injuries after blunt trauma
This study looks at how to make a better decision tool for when to order a CT scan of the belly and pelvis after a blunt injury in the emergency department. It aims to help clinicians choose the right patients for imaging during the first evaluation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04962646Recruiting
Breathing extra carbon dioxide during surgery to prevent brain injury
This trial tests whether giving extra carbon dioxide during surgery can reduce the chance of new brain or nervous system injury after surgery for a sudden, life-threatening tear in the big artery (type A aortic dissection). It may help by protecting the brain while the surgical team repairs the artery.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT05000827Recruiting
PSMA PET scan to guide lymph node surgery in prostatectomy
This study tests whether a special prostate scan called PSMA PET/CT can help doctors decide which pelvic lymph nodes to remove during prostate surgery. It may improve who needs lymph node surgery by using scan results to guide the operation.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05309707Recruiting
Branched stents for certain aortic arch problems
This study looks at using special branched stent-grafts to treat problems in the aortic arch (such as aneurysm or certain tears). It focuses on how well this approach works and how patients do over follow-up visits.
MadridAges 18–90 - NCT05319015RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab before kidney surgery for IVC tumor
This trial studies lenvatinib and pembrolizumab given before surgery to treat kidney cancer that has grown into a large vein (the IVC) near the liver or heart. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor thrombus and make treatment and surgery more effective and safer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05323929Recruiting
Checks how scar depth after stomach tumor removal affects healing
This study looks at early stomach cancer treated with ESD, a procedure to remove the tumor through the stomach lining, and how the depth of the scar relates to healing. It may help doctors predict better outcomes and improve the procedure for suitable patients.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05345158Recruiting
Robotic surgery first for early-stage seminoma testicular cancer
This trial studies whether a robotic operation (removing cancerous lymph nodes in the back of the belly) is a good first treatment for certain early-stage testicular seminoma cases. It aims to cure cancer while avoiding or delaying other treatments, and uses follow-up plans to check results.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05427071Recruiting
Tracking a breast cancer marker to guide lymph node surgery
This study tests a special “marker” technique to help surgeons find affected lymph nodes in the armpit after chemotherapy. It may support more targeted surgery and help avoid unnecessary removal of healthy lymph nodes.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05530304Recruiting
Aortic arch stent procedure registry for adults
This study tracks outcomes after a specific aortic arch stent procedure using a device with three inner branches. It’s mainly a registry, meaning researchers follow people over time to learn how safe and effective the procedure is.
MünsterAges Any age - NCT05593458RecruitingPhase 3
Stomach cancer surgery before chemo: artery-based or drip chemo
