Hospital study for fluid buildup in heart failure with preserved heart function
This study looks at how well doctors can assess fluid buildup before you leave the hospital if you have a type of heart failure called “preserved ejection fraction.” It may help improve decisions about when and how safely people are discharged.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05097898Recruiting
Check fluid buildup in heart failure with normal pumping
This study evaluates how well doctors can assess “fluid congestion” in people with chronic heart failure where the heart’s squeezing is still preserved. It may help improve how patients are monitored during hospital visits.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05089149Recruiting
Check how lung ultrasound helps manage heart failure congestion
This study looks at people with long-term worsening heart failure who are coming to the hospital for a planned visit, to see how checking “congestion” (fluid buildup) may guide care. It may help the team understand whether lung ultrasound can better assess who needs treatment changes.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05895890Recruiting
Studying alcohol-related liver disease and addiction care
This study follows adults with alcohol-related liver disease to better understand and manage alcohol addiction and related health problems. You may be able to help researchers by sharing health information and consented care experiences.
Clamart, Île-de-France RegionAges 18–75 - NCT05046483Recruiting
Blood sugar study after a new heart attack
This study measures how your body handles sugar and related hormones in people after a new STEMI heart attack, and compares them with people who do not have diabetes or have prediabetes. The goal is to better understand metabolic changes after the event, which could help future care.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–80 - NCT06060769Recruiting
MRI risk assessment for liver cancer in chronic liver disease
This study uses special MRI scans to better predict liver cancer risk in people with chronic liver disease. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and improve monitoring.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06061042Recruiting
Time-restricted eating for metabolic health
This study tests whether eating only during a specific time window each day can improve metabolic health in people with obesity and insulin resistance. If you have a high BMI and early signs of diabetes, this trial might help you understand a simple dietary change.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 50–75 - NCT06078098Recruiting
Autoimmune Hepatitis Database and Biobank Study
This study is building a database and collection of samples from people with autoimmune hepatitis in Italy. It aims to learn more about the disease and improve care.
Monza, MBAges 1 year+ - NCT06095466Recruiting
Heart check with ultrasound in severe liver disease
This study tests if a simple bedside heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) and blood tests can spot early heart problems in people with severe liver disease (cirrhosis) who are in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and manage heart complications in cirrhosis.
Sector-12, ChandigarhAges 18–65 - NCT05444478Recruiting
Microwave ablation plus lenvatinib for recurrent liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining heat treatment to kill liver tumors (microwave ablation) with the medicine lenvatinib can better control recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help shrink tumors or slow growth for people whose cancer has come back but who have limited tumor burden.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06115876Recruiting
Kuwait diabetes long-term follow-up study
This study checks in on people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes who were part of an earlier Kuwait diabetes study. It aims to understand how their condition has changed and what health care they may need.
