TantaAges 8–18 - NCT07629245RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell therapy for Crohn's disease fistulas after prior treatment
This trial tests whether injecting your own fat-derived cells combined with a skin graft can heal anal fistulas (abnormal passages near the anus) that didn't respond to or came back after a previous cell therapy study. You must have already participated in the ADICROHN-2 study.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06322680Recruiting

Comparing surgical methods for children with anorectal malformations
This study compares different surgical techniques for children with a specific type of anorectal malformation (perineal or vestibular fistula). It aims to see which surgery leads to better outcomes.
Florence, FlorenceAges birth–18 years - NCT05679271Recruiting
Stent treatment for low-grade dural AV fistula causing ringing
This trial tests whether placing a small tube (stent) inside a brain vein-sinus can reduce a pulsating ringing sound caused by a “dural arteriovenous fistula” (DAVF). It’s for people whose tinnitus matches the DAVF location and who meet imaging and medication safety requirements.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07318493Recruiting
Antiseptic-coated sutures to lower pancreatic fistula risk
This trial tests if using antiseptic-coated stitches during pancreatic surgery can reduce the chance of a pancreatic leak (fistula) afterward. If you are scheduled for a Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy), this study may help improve your recovery.
Akron, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07314047Recruiting
A study of a liquid gel for brain AVM treatment
This trial tests a liquid embolic agent (a gel-like material) injected into the blood vessels of a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) to block abnormal blood flow. It’s for people aged 18 to 80 with certain types of AVMs that doctors think can be treated this way.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07230509RecruitingPhase 2
Glue injection to prevent pancreatic leaks after Whipple surgery
This study tests injecting a medical glue into the pancreas during a Whipple procedure to see if it can prevent leaks. It may help people with a soft pancreas and small pancreatic duct.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT06925594RecruitingPhase 3
Cell injection for Crohn's-related anal fistulas
This trial tests a new cell injection (TH-SC01) to treat anal fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It aims to see if the injection can heal fistulas and lower infection risk.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT07211035Recruiting
Study of a device to help create a working dialysis access
This study tests a device that widens your vein before creating the connection used for dialysis. The goal is to help the access mature faster and work better for your treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07211529Recruiting
Nerve block during chest surgery to reduce complications
This trial tests whether a numbing injection near the spine (paravertebral block) given during keyhole chest surgery can lower the risk of problems after surgery. It might help patients recover more comfortably.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT05518643Recruiting
Testing a stress-reducing recovery plan for pancreatic surgery patients
This trial tests how well a structured hospital recovery plan (called ERAS) works for people having pancreatic surgery. It looks at stress and recovery outcomes to see if patients may do better with this approach.
LarissaAges 18 years+ - NCT07144917Recruiting
Immune system changes after Whipple surgery
This study is looking at how the immune system can become weakened after a Whipple procedure for pancreatic tumors. The goal is to better understand and potentially help patients recover more effectively.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07132541RecruitingPhase 1
New surgical glue technique for pancreas connection after Whipple surgery
This trial tests a new method using a surgical glue called N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate to seal the pancreas after a Whipple procedure. It may help prevent leaks and improve recovery for patients with a soft pancreas and small pancreatic duct.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT07100379Recruiting

This study compares two balloon inflation times (30 seconds vs 60 seconds) to see which works better for treating narrow spots in the esophagus that form after esophageal atresia repair.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 18 years - NCT07045545Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two layers in hypospadias repair for young boys
This trial tests two ways to add an extra layer during hypospadias repair surgery in young boys. One method uses a material made from your child's own blood (platelet-rich fibrin), and the other uses a small flap of tissue from the penis. The goal is to see which method helps the healing better.
Tashkent, CityAges Any age - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT07009119Recruiting
Laparoscopic surgery for pancreatic and bile duct cancers

Comparing Two Fistula Creation Techniques for Dialysis
This study compares two surgical techniques for creating an arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula), a special connection between an artery and a vein in the arm that makes dialysis easier. If you need dialysis for advanced kidney disease, this trial aims to see which method works better and lasts longer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fistula?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 124 recruiting fistula studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a fistula trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a fistula trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
