MoscowAges 40–60 - NCT05703126Recruiting
Blood vessel and heart strength tests in AML patients
This study looks at how well your blood vessels and heart pumping ability work in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving certain chemotherapy. It may help doctors better understand heart risk during treatment and tailor monitoring to you.
Samara, Samara OblastAges 18–65 - NCT05879783Recruiting
Optical biopsy during surgery for colorectal belly tumors
This trial looks at using a special light-based method (optical biopsy) to examine small growths on the lining of the abdomen during colorectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors better assess these peritoneal nodules while you are already having an operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT05916950Recruiting
Study of a new treatment for blocked leg arteries
This trial studies a device-based treatment approach for people with blocked (narrowed or fully blocked) arteries in the thigh or behind the knee that reduce blood flow to the leg. It may help improve blood flow and walking ability, but you must meet specific artery and imaging requirements.
St. Helena, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05916963RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a water pill to reduce leftover kidney stone fragments
This Phase 3 study tests whether using a “water pill” called furosemide during a flexible scope procedure helps leave fewer kidney-stone fragments behind. It may help reduce the chance of needing additional treatment later.
AngersAges 18–80 - NCT06048380RecruitingPhase 3
Ripasudil drops for FED patients having cataract surgery
This trial tests if ripasudil eye drops can help people with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy (FED) during and after cataract surgery. It aims to see if the drops protect the eye's inner layer and improve recovery.
