BeijingAges 16 years+ - NCT05965258Recruiting
Classify mitral regurgitation using heart scans
This study uses heart imaging to better understand different types of mitral valve leak (mitral regurgitation) and how it relates to heart pumping function. Results may help doctors match people to the most appropriate care based on scan “patterns.”
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05761483Recruiting
Endoscopic treatment for bile duct narrowing after liver transplant
This trial tests an endoscopic (camera-based) approach to treat bile duct narrowing that happens after a liver transplant. It may help improve bile flow and liver blood test results when the narrowing is in the bile duct area near where the liver’s bile ducts split.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06464731Recruiting
Clot removal for mild stroke due to large artery blockage
This trial tests whether removing a blood clot from a large brain artery (using a catheter through the groin) can help people with mild stroke symptoms. It is for patients whose stroke started within the last 24 hours and who have a blockage in the front part of the brain's blood supply.
Zhangzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT06635863Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Steroids versus standard heart medications for heart inflammation
This study compares two treatment strategies for people with unexplained heart failure and irregular heartbeats caused by inflammation: one group gets standard heart medications plus an immune-suppressing steroid (prednisone), and the other gets standard medications alone. Doctors want to see whether adding steroids helps improve heart function and control dangerous heart rhythms.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07208500Recruiting
Arm cuff treatment before surgery to protect lungs in older adults
This study tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment (briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on your arm) before surgery can reduce lung complications in older adults having non-heart, non-lung surgery. It may help protect your lungs during and after the operation.
ShanghaiAges 65 years+ - NCT07265349RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cells plus bypass surgery for chronic heart failure
This trial tests whether injecting stem cells from umbilical cord tissue into the heart muscle during bypass surgery can improve heart function in people with chronic heart failure. It is for patients who are already scheduled for bypass surgery and have a weakened heart pump (LVEF between 21% and 40%).
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06877195Recruiting
Vein graft support mesh for bypass surgery
This trial tests a mesh wrap that supports the vein grafts used in bypass surgery. It may help those grafts stay open longer, especially for the right side of the heart.
Roma, RomaAges Any age - NCT06814808Enrolling by invitation
Comparing three treatments for chronic neck pain
This study compares three different treatments for chronic neck pain caused by trigger points (tender knots in muscles). It aims to find which approach works best for pain relief and improved function.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–65 - NCT05929508Recruiting
Rebuilding leg strength after above-knee amputation
This study tests a new approach to improve walking ability and leg function after an above-knee (transfemoral) amputation. It may help by targeting muscle loss and supporting safer, stronger mobility over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06520891Recruiting
Statin with SGLT2i for ischemic heart disease
This study tests if taking a statin along with an SGLT2 inhibitor (a diabetes drug that also helps the heart) works better for people with heart disease caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to improve heart function with this combination therapy.
Al Fayyum, Faiyum GovernorateAges 50–80 - NCT06123728Recruiting
Using MCG to assess heart blood flow in stable artery disease
This trial is testing a new magnetic heart scan (called MCG) to see if it can better detect when your heart isn't getting enough blood. It is for people with stable chest discomfort and a previous heart CT that showed moderate blockages in the arteries.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06094569Recruiting
Screening for stroke in the back of the brain
This study uses MRI scans to find strokes caused by blockages in the arteries at the back of the brain. It may help doctors learn more about these strokes and how to better care for people who have them.
