Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–25 - NCT03524222Recruiting
Home hospital care for adults after sudden illness
This trial tests whether certain adults can safely receive hospital-level care at home instead of staying in the hospital, using a home care team. It may help you recover in your own home if your condition fits their plan and you have support at home.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03538600Recruiting
Sample collection from healthy volunteers to improve test accuracy
This study collects multiple types of samples (like blood, stool, saliva, and swabs) from healthy people. The goal is to optimize lab tests for future research, which may help doctors and scientists run more accurate immune-related measurements.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–80 - NCT03549858Recruiting
Survey study on burdens and experiences of people with hemophilia
This study collects information from people with hemophilia about how treatments and daily life affect them. It uses your answers to improve patient-focused care and understand what challenges matter most.
Hamilton, OntarioAges Any age - NCT03587922Recruiting
Test a dissolving heart stent for blocked heart arteries
This study tests a dissolving scaffold (a type of temporary heart stent) in people with narrowed coronary arteries that are causing reduced blood flow. It aims to see if the device can be safely used as part of planned stenting or emergency bypass when needed.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT03615690Recruiting
Fasting-mimicking diet test for ulcerative colitis
This study tests whether a “fasting-mimicking diet” can improve mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. You would follow the study diet plan and be monitored to see if symptoms and disease activity change.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT03665675RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Immune cell treatment to control CMV or adenovirus after transplant
This early-phase study tests donor immune cells made to recognize CMV (a virus) or adenovirus, given to help control virus reactivation after a solid organ or bone marrow transplant. It may help reduce ongoing or worsening viral infection when standard antiviral medicines are hard to tolerate or not working well.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–85 - NCT03738072Recruiting
Test of brain electrical stimulation to plan epilepsy surgery
This study looks at how using a mild electrical stimulation in the brain may help doctors plan surgery for people with drug-resistant focal (partial) epilepsy. It happens during a hospital procedure to map the seizure areas (SEEG), so it may help improve where surgery targets.
ToulouseAges 12–65 - NCT03775954Recruiting
Fetal heart testing in high-risk pregnancies after baby loss
This study checks unborn babies’ heart signals using special scans during pregnancy and then checks the baby’s heart shortly after birth. It may help researchers understand why certain high-risk pregnancies can lead to fetal demise and improve care.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT03789916RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin alone versus two blood thinners after heart bypass
This Phase 3 trial compares two strategies to prevent blood clots after heart bypass surgery: aspirin alone versus aspirin plus ticagrelor. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for people whose bypass does not fully restore blood flow.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT03791970Recruiting
Compare stent post-dilation using drug balloon or regular balloon
This study looks at whether using a drug-coated balloon (DCB) versus a regular balloon (POBA) right after placing a stent works better in artery blockages in the thigh/knee area. It may help improve blood flow and reduce the chance the artery narrows again.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT03799354Recruiting
Strength training study for people with COPD
This trial tests whether a maximal strength training program can help people with COPD who are stable. It is looking at people with moderate-to-severe airflow limitation and excludes several other lung and health problems.
Lumezzane, BresciaAges 50–80 - NCT03797690Recruiting
Needle procedure for Dupuytren’s hand contracture
This trial looks at whether a minimally invasive needle procedure can improve hand stiffness caused by Dupuytren’s disease. It may help reduce finger bending that affects how you use your hand.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03802773Recruiting
Cord blood transplant with strong chemo to prevent relapse
This trial tests a cord blood transplant using strong (myeloablative) chemotherapy to prepare your body, plus post-transplant treatment to reduce graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It may help certain blood cancers when other transplant options are limited.
Roma, RMAges 18–75 - NCT03807310Recruiting
Vitamin and fatty-acid supplement study for COPD recovery
This trial tests whether a targeted supplement (vitamins D and fatty acids) can help people with COPD. It’s meant for people who are medically stable and not currently dealing with a recent COPD flare-up.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT03827187Recruiting
Brain signal training to detect awareness
This study checks whether brain activity patterns can show when a person is aware, even if they can’t reliably communicate. If signs of awareness are found (or if you already know you are aware), the study may also train a brain-computer interface to support communication or movement assistance.
DublinAges 10–80 - NCT03835767RecruitingPhase 2
Predicting food allergy from blood IgE levels in eczema patients
This study looks for blood test patterns that may predict whether a child with eczema (atopic dermatitis) is likely to have a food allergy. If you join, you may do supervised oral food challenges with a placebo and the suspected foods to see what triggers symptoms.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–21 - NCT03836950RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brain stimulation to improve thinking in Parkinson’s
This trial studies a noninvasive treatment called rTMS to help improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s who have mild cognitive problems. It may help strengthen brain function, but it also has strict safety and eligibility rules to protect against seizure and metal-related risks.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT03841617RecruitingPhase 2
Measure radiation in thyroid cancer using a special PET-CT scan
This trial tests how much radiation a specialized whole-body PET/CT scan delivers in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. It may help doctors better plan treatment for cancer that persists, returns, or has spread—especially when radioactive iodine (RAI) may or may not work.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT03852407RecruitingPhase 2
Two kinds of conditioning before matched stem cell transplant
This trial compares two reduced-intensity conditioning regimens before you receive stem cells from a donor who matches your HLA type. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer for certain blood cancers.
AntwerpAges 18–75 - NCT03860857RecruitingPhase 3
Study biomarkers in memory aging and brain health
This Phase 3 study looks for blood/brain “biomarkers” linked to aging, memory changes, and early brain degeneration. It may help researchers better identify who is at risk and how biology relates to thinking and memory, using brain scans and thinking tests.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT03878121RecruitingPhase 1
Ad4-HIV vaccine study for healthy adults and partners
This Phase 1 study tests whether an experimental HIV vaccine (made from a harmless viral vector) is safe and helps the body build immune defenses. It includes healthy volunteers and, in some groups, their close partners, with careful screening and follow-up visits.
