San Diego, CaliforniaAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT05859048Recruiting
Care plan to help high-risk people spot heart failure early
This trial tests a multidisciplinary care approach aimed at helping people with high risk for heart failure get diagnosed earlier. It may help you catch heart failure sooner if it starts, so treatment can begin earlier.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 40 years+ - NCT05862337RecruitingPhase 3
New immune plus anti-cancer pills to prevent liver cancer returning
This Phase 3 trial studies anlotinib capsules plus penpulimab (an immune therapy) to help prevent hepatocellular carcinoma from coming back after it has been fully removed or fully destroyed. It may help high-risk patients lower the chance of recurrence and improve survival.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05862558Recruiting
Lithotripsy to open blocked, calcified artery for TAVR
This trial tests whether a treatment called intravascular lithotripsy (using sound waves from inside a blood vessel) can help widen severely calcified, narrowed iliac arteries so a TAVR procedure can be done through the groin. It may help some people who are considered “high risk” for access, based on CT scan findings.
Plano, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT05867901Recruiting
Test stopping imatinib early using blood DNA tests
This trial studies whether some people with high-risk GIST can safely take a “drug holiday” (pause imatinib) after surgery. They use a blood test looking for leftover cancer DNA to help decide who may benefit from stopping treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05870566Recruiting
Vitamin and light treatment before risky corneal transplant
This trial studies whether pretreatment with a specific vitamin and ultraviolet light can help a future, high-risk corneal transplant keep its new cornea healthy for longer. It may help people whose corneas already have new blood vessels, which can make transplant results harder.
