Laser treatment to prevent skin growth in older adults
This trial tests whether a type of laser treatment can help protect older adults’ skin from turning actinic keratosis (a sun-related precancer) into more serious skin problems. It focuses on the forearms and may help reduce future skin damage while checking safety and comfort.
Dayton, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT04007432Recruiting
Testing nighttime low-oxygen levels after hip fracture surgery
This study checks how often older adults get low oxygen during the night after hip fracture surgery. It may help doctors better monitor and improve care during hospital recovery.
ParisAges 70 years+ - NCT04076735Recruiting
Compare fixing vs replacing certain leg bone fractures in seniors
This trial studies which operation works better for an acute distal femur (upper knee area) fracture in older adults: repairing/fixing it versus replacing the joint/bone. It may help find the safest approach and improve walking and recovery for people in this situation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT04300998Recruiting
CAR-T therapy study for older adults
This study looks at how well CAR-T cell therapy works and how safely it can be given to older adults. It is for people whose cancer or related blood condition has come back or did not respond, and who are receiving a standard (commercial) CAR-T product.

Testing antibiotic doses in older adults in the emergency room
This study looks at how best to dose certain antibiotics in people age 75 and older who are admitted to a geriatric (older-adult) hospital unit. It aims to measure antibiotic levels in the body to see whether dosing can be improved for older patients.
GhentAges 75 years+ - NCT04630496Recruiting
Walk Test Before Lung Surgery for Older Adults
This study is looking at a “walk and movement” challenge for older adults preparing for thoracic (chest) surgery. It may help the team understand mobility and support safer care before surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT04842266Recruiting
Light treatment to stabilize pelvic fractures and reduce pain
This trial studies a device called IlluminOss that uses light to help stabilize pelvic fractures and treat pain. It is for people whose pelvic fracture is caused by cancer-related bone damage or frailty, and who already have the IlluminOss pelvic implant planned as part of standard care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT05263596Recruiting
Testing ways to diagnose muscle loss in older adults
This study looks for the best ways to detect sarcopenia, which means age-related loss of muscle strength and mass, in older people in a hospital or care setting. It may help doctors spot muscle problems earlier so they can plan better care.
BaselAges 65 years+ - NCT05306834Recruiting
Study to slow memory decline by targeting hidden small brain vessel disease
This trial looks at how to slow cognitive decline and early dementia in people with a specific kind of “silent” blood vessel damage in the brain seen on scans. It may help identify whether targeting this hidden condition can protect thinking and memory over time.
BordeauxAges 60–88 - NCT05349227Recruiting
After-cancer digital coaching and wearable tracking outcomes study
This study tests a digital health coaching program (using phone/tablet check-ins and wearable data) to understand health and quality-of-life outcomes after cancer treatment. It may help you learn healthy habits and track progress over time.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05407857Recruiting
Study to help prevent memory decline in adults over 60
This study looks for ways to lower the risk of developing dementia and improve thinking skills in people over 60. You may be eligible if you do not have dementia but have early warning signs of memory or thinking changes.
New Taipei CityAges 60–90 - NCT05475574Recruiting
Stopping extra cleaning for some resistant bacteria in geriatrics
This trial looks at whether stopping extra “contact precautions” (special measures to prevent spread) is safe for older hospital patients who carry a certain type of hard-to-treat gut bacteria. It may reduce unnecessary isolation and improve comfort, while still aiming to prevent infections.
MetzAges 65 years+ - NCT05668598Recruiting
Memory check study for older adults with and without dementia
This study creates a practical tool to measure “episodic memory,” which is your ability to recall events from daily life. It includes adults age 70+ with different memory levels, to see how well the tool works for people with dementia and for those without.
LensAges 70 years+ - NCT05691569Recruiting
Doll therapy for agitation in moderate to severe dementia
This trial tests whether using a realistic doll can reduce agitation and aggressive behaviors in people with moderate to severe dementia during a hospital stay. It may help some patients feel calmer and more comfortable through structured interaction.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 65 years+ - NCT05805774Recruiting
Compare fixing versus replacing a fractured thigh bone
This study looks at the best surgical option for an acute (new) fracture of the lower thigh bone near a stable knee replacement. It compares surgery that “fixes” the bone versus surgery that “replaces” part of the bone to help you walk again safely.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT05814328Recruiting
Care plan after ER visit to prevent early readmissions
This study tests a “transitional care” plan for people over 75 after they leave the emergency room, aiming to reduce how soon they come back. It may help you get the right support at home and lower the risk of returning to the ER quickly.
ParisAges 75 years+ - NCT05909501Recruiting
Study of geriatric checkups for new AML treatment plans

Strength, muscle mass, and nutrition therapy for older adults with sarcopenia
This study tests if a combination of a medicine (nandrolone), physical therapy, and a special diet can help older adults with muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and muscle mass. It is for people age 60 to 99 who have been diagnosed with sarcopenia based on specific muscle strength and mass measurements.
