Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04689854Enrolling by invitation
Cervical spine surgery implant study for neck disc problems
This trial studies specific neck (cervical) spine implants used during surgery for degenerative disc disease or neck instability, along with a particular kind of bone grafting and supporting hardware. It may help patients by testing whether these devices and the planned fusion approach work safely and effectively in real-world surgery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04679844Recruiting
Test bone putty for back fusion versus bone graft alternatives
This study compares a ready-to-use bone putty to standard bone graft materials (with or without your own bone) during back fusion surgery for unstable lower back problems. It looks at whether the putty works as well or better to help the bones fuse and heal.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04604782RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Regadenoson study in children to test safety and dosing
This trial tests how safe regadenoson is in children and how the body handles it after dosing. It also uses a heart “stress test” with MRI (CMR) when doctors feel it’s needed.
ParisAges 4 weeks–18 years - NCT04676828Recruiting
SPECT-guided radiation to avoid healthy lung in lung cancer
This study tests a special imaging-guided radiation plan that aims to treat lung cancer while reducing radiation to healthy lung tissue. It may help lower lung side effects while keeping the cancer treatment focused on tumor areas.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04605263Enrolling by invitation
Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s walking and falls
This study tests a brain surgery treatment (deep brain stimulation) to help improve gait problems such as freezing of walking, gait instability, or falls in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help people whose walking symptoms are not well controlled by levodopa (a common Parkinson’s medicine).
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT04680130Enrolling by invitation
Study of brain, genetics, and clinical symptoms in neurodegenerative illness
This study looks at how your symptoms, brain imaging (MRI), and genetic factors relate to neurodegenerative conditions. It may help researchers better understand what causes these illnesses and how to classify them.
