- NCT06507449Enrolling by invitation
Treating Heavily Calcified Heart Blockages to Improve Microcirculation
This study is testing a technique to treat heavily calcified (hard) blockages in heart arteries. The goal is to see if a special way of preparing the blockage before placing a stent helps improve blood flow to the tiny blood vessels in the heart muscle.

Can eye photos detect early Alzheimer's disease?
This study uses a special camera (OCT) to take pictures of the retina (the back of your eye) to see if it can detect Alzheimer's disease very early. You may be eligible if you are either cognitively normal or have mild cognitive impairment, and have already had a test for Alzheimer's-related brain changes.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 50–89 - NCT05856786Recruiting
Study how eye focusing surgery changes OCT measurements
This study looks at how refractive (vision-focusing) surgery affects OCT test images inside the eye. It may help doctors measure and track eye changes more accurately after surgery.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT05344274RecruitingPhase 4
Eye blood flow study in people with glaucoma
This study measures how blood flows in the retina and how well the eye regulates that flow. It compares people with early or very early glaucoma to people without glaucoma to see what differences may predict progression.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT05728216Recruiting
Using a special eye-scan to study kidney biopsy samples
This study tests whether a noninvasive “eye-scan” during a kidney biopsy can help doctors tell the difference between acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. If it works, it may improve how kidney problems are diagnosed in routine practice.
Chalon-sur-Saône, Saône-et-LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT05171478Recruiting
Test imaging on small lung biopsy samples during bronchoscopy
This study uses a special eye-like scanning camera (full-field optical coherence tomography) to look at tiny lung tissue samples taken during routine bronchoscopy. It may help doctors learn more from small biopsies used to diagnose or stage lung problems.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04790890Enrolling by invitation
Scan the eye during surgery to measure normal eye tissue
This study uses an imaging scan called optical coherence tomography (a non-painful light scan) during surgery to map what “normal” eye tissue looks like. It may help improve how eye specialists assess eyes in the future.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03711890Recruiting
Advanced imaging to detect early pancreatic cancer during surgery
This study tests a special high-resolution camera that can see tiny details during pancreatic surgery to help doctors detect early-stage pancreatic cancer or precancerous growths called IPMNs. The goal is to improve how well surgeons can identify and remove diseased tissue.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07747662Enrolling by invitation
Eye imaging study for early geographic atrophy
This study uses special eye imaging to look closely at areas of damage in the back of the eye (geographic atrophy) caused by age-related macular degeneration. It will help doctors understand early-stage disease better and may guide future treatments.
Madison, WisconsinAges 50 years+ - NCT03753256Recruiting
Testing a dental eye scan during orthodontic treatment
This study checks whether an optical coherence tomography scan—a quick, non-invasive imaging test—can help in dentistry for people who need orthodontic (braces/alignment) treatment. If you join, you’ll likely be scanned as part of the study and your dentist/doctor will compare results to see how useful the scan is.
HeidelbergAges 6 years+ - NCT05230446Recruiting
Testing full stent treatment for heart artery blockages
This study looks at how well doctors can treat multiple blocked heart arteries using a specific drug-eluting stent, aiming to fully open them. It may help patients whose blockage pattern fits the study, but it does not include certain high-risk or special cases.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18–85 - NCT06074731Recruiting
Eye imaging study using a new scanner
This trial uses a special eye scanner to look at eye diseases. It might help doctors see eye problems more clearly.
Linz, Upper AustriaAges 5–110 - NCT01243931Recruiting
Eye scan guided laser surgery for surface cornea scars
This study tests a laser procedure guided by an eye scan to improve vision caused by surface (front) cornea cloudiness or irregularities. It may help some people whose vision problem is mainly in the outer cornea and can be safely treated without reaching deep tissue.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT02253030Recruiting
Eye scan study for newly diagnosed wet AMD
This study uses a special eye scan (OCT angiography) to look at new, abnormal blood vessel growth in people with wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) who have not been treated yet. It may help researchers better understand the disease and how it changes over time.
Portland, OregonAges 50–100 - NCT06431711Recruiting
Eye scan study for brain small vessel disease
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to check the health of tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It may help doctors understand small vessel disease in the brain and find easier ways to monitor it.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 35 years+ - NCT07738874Recruiting
Eye imaging study for premature infants at risk of retinopathy
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye (retina) of premature infants who are at risk for retinopathy of prematurity, a condition that can harm vision. It aims to improve care and monitoring by using advanced eye imaging to see more detail than current methods.
Durham, North CarolinaAges birth–9 months - NCT07664709Recruiting
Eye problems in granulomatosis with polyangiitis study
This study looks at eye problems in people who have a disease called granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), which is a type of blood vessel inflammation that can also affect the eyes. They want to understand what eye issues happen in this disease.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT06040073Recruiting
Study of heart artery blockages after heart attack
This study is for people who recently had a heart attack and need an angiogram. It looks at blockages that are not completely blocking blood flow to learn how they change over time.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07588295Recruiting
How immune cells respond in heart and leg blood vessel disease
This study examines how immune cells (macrophages) behave differently in patients with blocked arteries in the heart or legs. Understanding this may help doctors develop better treatments for these conditions.
Cotignola, RavennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05335317Recruiting
Low-intensity laser for vaginal thinning and irritation
This trial studies whether a low-intensity nanosecond laser can improve vaginal atrophy (vaginal thinning) and related symptoms. It may help reduce discomfort for people who fit the study conditions and can complete the required visits and procedures.
Nizhny NovgorodAges 40–75 - NCT07556406Recruiting
Eye imaging study for age-related macular degeneration
This study uses specialized eye imaging to track changes in geographic atrophy, a type of vision loss from macular degeneration. Researchers will use new imaging techniques to better understand how this condition progresses and how treatments work.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT06758648Recruiting
Eye blood vessels in Fabry disease
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in the eyes of people with Fabry disease using a special camera. It may help doctors understand how the disease affects the eyes over time.

OCT vs. X-ray guidance for treating re-blocked stents
This study compares the standard X-ray guidance (angiography) with a more detailed imaging test (OCT) to guide treatment for a re-blocked stent. It aims to see which method leads to better outcomes for patients with in-stent renarrowing.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for optical coherence tomography?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 92 recruiting optical coherence tomography studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a optical coherence tomography trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a optical coherence tomography trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
