Test a personal plan to help people take medicines safely after discharge
This study is designing and testing a person-centered plan to help you use your medicines correctly when you leave the hospital. It involves you, your family or caregiver, and your usual healthcare team to reduce medication problems across care settings.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05556460Recruiting
Device trial for fixing severe tricuspid valve leakage without surgery
This trial tests the DragonFly-T system to improve symptoms and heart function in people with severe tricuspid regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) using a catheter-based repair. It may help reduce valve leak–related symptoms when standard medication isn’t enough and surgery risk is higher.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06574009RecruitingPhase 4
Better options for chronic cancer pain in veterans
This study tests if switching from long-term opioid painkillers to buprenorphine (a different type of pain medication) can provide better pain relief for veterans who have had cancer but are currently cancer-free. It aims to find a safer and more effective way to manage chronic pain.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–99 - NCT06699342Recruiting
Pacing and heart ablation for atrial fibrillation
This trial tests a combination of heart pacing and a specialized ablation procedure in older adults with permanent atrial fibrillation that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to improve symptoms and reduce hospital stays related to heart failure.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges 65 years+ - NCT07560982Recruiting
Improving medication adherence in advanced heart failure
This study looks at whether patients with severe heart failure follow their prescribed medications as recommended by treatment guidelines. The researchers want to understand what helps or prevents patients from taking their medicines correctly, which could improve their heart function and symptoms.
BergamoAges 18–75 - NCT06891755Recruiting
Lung deflation procedure for severe emphysema
This study tests a bronchoscopic treatment to release trapped air in severely hyperinflated lungs caused by emphysema. It may help you breathe easier if you have advanced COPD and meet specific lung function and imaging criteria.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–84 - NCT07012148Recruiting
Seizure forecasting with EEG and wearables for epilepsy
This study tests a wearable device that records brain waves to help predict and track seizures in people with temporal lobe epilepsy. It may help you better understand your seizure patterns and reduce uncertainty.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - NCT07148739RecruitingPhase 4
Ensuring Best Access to CF Treatment
This study tests whether people with cystic fibrosis who are already on a triple combination CFTR modulator can stay on their treatment without interruptions or problems. It aims to make sure everyone gets the best, most consistent treatment for their CF.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3 years+ - NCT07335900Recruiting
Studying heart healing after TAVI with FAPI-PET scan
This study uses a special type of PET scan (FAPI-PET) to see how the heart heals after a less invasive valve replacement procedure called TAVI. It aims to help doctors better understand the changes in heart tissue after treatment for aortic stenosis.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05805371RecruitingPhase 1
PSCA CAR-T cells with or without radiation for prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a prostate cancer treatment made of PSCA-targeted CAR-T cells, with or without radiation, to help control advanced prostate cancer. It aims to find a safe treatment approach and see how well it works in people whose cancer has PSCA.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02445534Recruiting
Registry for cell therapy in non-ischemic dilated heart muscle disease
This is a research registry that follows people with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (a weakened heart muscle) who are already on the right medications. It helps doctors better understand how cell-based therapy and related care affect heart function over time.
LjubljanaAges 18–65 - NCT04504188Recruiting
Adjusting beta-blocker dose for women using a wearable defibrillator
This trial checks whether doctors can use a lower or adjusted dose of beta-blocker medicine in women who are wearing a wearable defibrillator (WCD). It aims to find an approach that’s safe and works while you’re using the device for about 3 months to protect your heart.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06154044RecruitingPhase 2
Cell therapy for heart recovery with LVAD support
This trial tests whether injecting special cells (cell therapy) can help the heart recover in people with advanced heart failure who are getting a mechanical heart pump (LVAD). It may offer a new way to improve heart function and quality of life.
LjubljanaAges 18–65 - NCT07708714RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Hydroxyurea study for teens with sickle cell anemia
This study tests how well a higher dose of hydroxyurea works for teenagers with sickle cell anemia living in areas where malaria is common. It looks at safety and how the treatment affects their daily lives.
KampalaAges 11–18 - NCT07661459RecruitingPhase 2
Antihistamine and aspirin with immunotherapy for solid tumors
This trial tests whether taking a daily antihistamine (like Claritin) and a daily aspirin alongside your immunotherapy can make the treatment work better. It's for people with solid tumors who are about to start a PD-1 or PD-L1 blocker.
