Scan for fat in the pancreas and link it to cyst features
This study uses scans to measure how common “fatty change” is in the pancreas. It then looks at whether fatty change is related to specific features of pancreatic cysts (and may also include healthy people).
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18 years+ - NCT06690151Recruiting
Babies with heart defects and development support
This study looks at how a serious heart condition before birth may affect a baby's brain development. It follows babies and their parents to better understand and support these children as they grow.
Nantes, Loire AtlantiqueAges Any age - NCT06692751Recruiting
Eye scan for microvascular angina
This study tests if a non-invasive eye scan (OCT-A) can detect changes in tiny blood vessels in the retina of people with chest pain caused by problems with the heart's small arteries (microvascular angina). If it works, it could be a simpler way to diagnose this condition.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04616313Recruiting
MRI and breathing tests in people who vape
This study uses a special lung scan (MRI) and breathing tests to understand how vaping affects lung structure and function. It may help researchers learn what early lung changes happen after starting vaping, even if you don’t feel sick.
London, OntarioAges 16 years+ - NCT06658782Recruiting
MRI vs ultrasound for liver cancer detection in high-risk people
This trial compares two types of scans to see which detects liver cancer better in people at high risk. You would receive either an MRI with contrast or an ultrasound every 6 months to monitor for liver cancer.
Oxford, OxonAges 18 years+ - NCT06657209RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing diabetes treatments for people with normal weight
This study tests two medications—pioglitazone (a pill) and tirzepatide (an injection)—in people with type 2 diabetes who have a normal body weight. It aims to find which treatment works better for this specific group.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 30–70 - NCT06661720RecruitingPhase 3
Tivozanib and pembrolizumab after kidney cancer surgery
This trial is testing if adding the targeted therapy tivozanib to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) can help prevent kidney cancer from coming back after all known tumors have been removed by surgery.
