Testing a new valve placed through a blood vessel
This study checks whether an “investigational” transcatheter aortic valve is safe and works well for people with severe, calcified aortic stenosis (a stiff, narrowed heart valve).

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04114435Recruiting
Heart and lung testing in extremely premature babies
This study looks at how the hearts and lungs work in babies born very early (before 29 weeks). It may help researchers understand why some babies develop breathing and heart circulation problems and how to measure their recovery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 1 week–5 years - NCT04297605RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) given together with a chemotherapy drug to treat non-small cell lung cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. It’s aimed at people who can handle treatment with an ECOG performance status of 2, including some with certain types of brain metastases.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04299945Recruiting
Beetroot juice to boost exercise in fibrotic lung disease
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice can improve exercise performance in people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (scarring in the lungs). It may help your body use oxygen better during activity if you meet the study’s safety and lung-function requirements.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT04339374Recruiting
Ultrasound and light imaging during rectal cancer surgery
This study tests a newer kind of imaging (ultrasound plus light-based measurements) to help doctors tell rectal cancer apart from other tissue during surgery. You may be able to take part if you’re having surgery for rectal cancer and the tumor is close enough to the anus.
St Louis, MissouriAges 19 years+ - NCT04347655Recruiting
Studies blood flow and heart pumping in adults with heart failure
This study looks at how well blood moves through the body and how strongly the left side of the heart pumps in adults. It compares people who have heart failure to people who do not, to better understand differences and possible causes.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04367220Recruiting
Canadian heart imaging registry for people getting scans
This trial is a registry that collects information from people referred for hospital heart imaging. It helps researchers better understand cardiovascular imaging and care, without changing your treatment.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04400617Recruiting
Improving sleep in assisted-living residents
This study looks at sleep quality in people living in assisted-living. It aims to see what changes (or routines) may improve sleep, especially in residents who are physically independent.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 50 years+ - NCT04565795Recruiting
Temporary dissolvable ureter stent after uncomplicated ureteroscopy
This trial studies a temporary stent that is designed to dissolve in the ureter after a straightforward ureteroscopy to remove a kidney/ureter stone. The goal is to check safety and how well the device performs, and whether it can replace longer-lasting stents for some people.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21–80 - NCT04590560Recruiting
Best timing for breast screening in women ages 45–49 and 70–74
This study looks at the best time interval for breast cancer screening (mammograms) for women in two age groups. The goal is to reduce missed cancers while avoiding unnecessary tests.
Meldola (FC), FCAges 45–49 - NCT04591093Recruiting
Tested deep vs shallow sound settings in cochlear implants
This study looks at how changing the “stimulation depth” (how deep the sound signals are delivered in the implant) affects hearing performance in people with cochlear implants. It may help find the best settings for improving hearing outcomes for suitable adults.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04638088Recruiting
Robot or standard surgery for prostate removal
This trial compares different ways of doing a radical prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate): robot-assisted laparoscopy, conventional laparoscopy, or open surgery. It may help improve which approach is best for people having planned prostate removal.
AgenAges 18 years+ - NCT04641416Recruiting
Ultrasound test for people with HeartMate 3 blood pumps
This study checks whether a noninvasive ultrasound-based method can help diagnose what’s going on in people with a HeartMate 3 blood pump. It may help detect important pump-related changes while keeping the process safer for certain high-risk situations.
ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT04645628Recruiting
Improving MRI scan order for better comfort and image quality
This study looks at the best order to take MRI images so scans are more comfortable and produce better-quality pictures. You may be eligible if you are having an MRI of many body areas as part of your routine care.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04661553Recruiting
Special camera test to spot early cervical changes in pregnancy
This trial tests a detailed “polarimetric colposcopy” camera exam to better detect early changes in the cervix during pregnancy. Results may help guide closer monitoring in pregnancy, especially if there are signs that the cervix may start to change too soon.
Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT04674449Recruiting
Tests a targeted plan for people with chest pain from heart artery disease
This study aims to match people with angina (chest pain from heart artery problems) to the most helpful treatment plan based on their test results. It’s done around the time doctors are planning an invasive heart scan to look at the coronary arteries.
CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04733950Recruiting
Test how much effort listening takes with cochlear implants
This study measures how your brain and eyes respond when you listen and focus on sounds. It compares people using a cochlear implant with people who have normal hearing, to understand listening effort and attention.
ParisAges 18–80 - NCT04741711Recruiting
At-home ultrasound to help manage heart failure
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound at regular visits can help guide care for people with heart failure. It may help doctors spot worsening fluid problems earlier, before symptoms become severe.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04746625Recruiting
Test of an adjustable valve system for hydrocephalus shunts
This trial checks how safe and well a specific adjustable valve (Polaris 24) works in people with hydrocephalus who need a valve shunt. You may be eligible if you already have this valve implanted for a first shunt, a shunt replacement, or after an endoscopic procedure failed, and you do not have certain infection, bleeding, or heart-circulation conditions.
MarseilleAges Any age - NCT04889105Recruiting
