Recruiting studies
- NCT04709900Recruiting
Tests for stable chest pain using heart scans and pressure measurements
This trial studies how well different heart tests (imaging the blood flow and measuring blood pressure in the heart) work for people with stable chest pain. It may help guide safer, more accurate evaluation when you are not having a heart attack.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT05698628Recruiting
Timing strategies to protect legs during peripheral ECMO
This trial studies whether an “early” or more “conservative” approach to improving blood flow to the leg can prevent limb damage during a type of heart-lung machine called peripheral VA-ECMO. It may help reduce the risk of poor leg blood flow (ischemia) in people with severe heart failure-related shock.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05724641Recruiting
MRI test of eye blood flow in specific optic nerve conditions
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure blood flow to the eye and check how consistently the results match over time. It may help doctors better assess certain optic nerve problems, especially in people without major cardiovascular risk factors.
Brussels, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT05758831RecruitingPhase 3
Rituximab vs ocrelizumab for relapsing multiple sclerosis
This trial compares rituximab and ocrelizumab in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) to see which medicine better controls MS activity. It may help reduce future relapses and new MRI lesions.
Lyon, BronAges 18–55 - NCT06088758Recruiting
Preserving fatty livers with a machine for transplant
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers that have extra fat (steatotic livers) using a special machine that keeps the liver healthy outside the body. If successful, it could allow more livers to be used for transplantation, helping people on the waiting list get a transplant sooner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06198400Recruiting
Dye test for blood flow after pancreas surgery
This trial uses a special dye to check blood flow in the remaining part of your pancreas after surgery. It helps doctors see if the tissue is getting enough blood, which can improve healing and reduce complications.
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT06236568Recruiting
Liver transplant study for liver cancer patients
This study tests a special way to preserve donated livers before transplant to see if it reduces the chance of liver cancer coming back after surgery.
Modena, MOAges 18 years+ - NCT06245239Recruiting
Measuring pain in young children after surgery
This study looks at whether a non-invasive tool called perfusion index can help doctors measure pain in children under 3 years old after hypospadias repair surgery. This could lead to better pain management for young children who cannot easily describe their pain.
Asyut, Assuit GovernorateAges 1 day–3 years - NCT06735521Recruiting
Heart MRI stress test for Fontan circulation
This study uses a special heart MRI with a medicine that stresses the heart (like exercise) to look at blood flow in people who have had the Fontan surgery. The goal is to better understand how the heart works after this surgery.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06786416Recruiting
Monitoring to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This trial is testing a new monitoring system that tracks blood flow and other vital signs during heart surgery to help prevent kidney damage afterward.
San Donato Milanese, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06860438Recruiting
Using a new monitor to guide blood pressure meds in sepsis
This study looks at a special blood flow monitor (perfusion index) to see if it can help doctors decide when to give blood pressure raising medicines in patients with serious infections. It might help doctors better treat sepsis and septic shock.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT06874296Recruiting
Testing machine perfusion for declined livers to shorten transplant wait time
This trial tests whether using a machine to keep donated livers healthy (normothermic machine perfusion) can allow more people to receive a transplant sooner. It is for patients who are already on the waiting list for a liver and have a moderately severe MELD score (25 or less).
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06967675Recruiting
Blood flow monitoring in children under low-flow anesthesia
This trial tests whether a device that measures skin blood flow can help monitor children safely during low-flow anesthesia. It is for children aged 2–12 having non-emergency surgery lasting 1–6 hours.
Istanbul, Merkez MahallesiAges 2–12 - NCT07112820Recruiting
Heart imaging test for chest pain without ST elevation
This trial tests if a heart imaging scan (myocardial perfusion) can help doctors better diagnose heart attacks or other conditions in people who come to the hospital with chest pain but without ST elevation on their ECG. It aims to see if the scan adds valuable information before heart catheterization.
Paris, Ilede FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07324421Recruiting
Ultrasound vs. CT scan for brain blood flow imaging
This study compares a new ultrasound-based method to a standard CT scan for measuring blood flow in the brain. It is designed for people in the ICU or CCU who are already scheduled for a CT scan and could benefit from a simpler, more portable imaging option.
Montpellier, HeraultAges 18 years+ - NCT07364474Recruiting
Immune response to liver perfusion therapy for eye melanoma
This study tests how well the liver responds to a treatment called percutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan (chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver) in people with uveal melanoma that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see how the immune system reacts and if the treatment helps control the disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07367113Recruiting
Finger sensor guided fluids for skin health in older ICU patients
This study tests if using a finger sensor to guide fluid therapy can prevent skin failure in older ICU patients with sepsis or shock. It compares usual care to personalized fluid management.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 65 years+ - NCT02208388Recruiting
CT scan test to guide treatment for blocked heart arteries
This trial studies a heart CT scan technique to help doctors better understand coronary artery blockages. It may help guide treatment choices for people with angina (chest pain) who are at intermediate to high risk.
Seoul, Songpa-GuAges 20 years+ - NCT07542366Recruiting
Testing a new lung imaging method in ICU patients
This study tests whether a special imaging technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) combined with a safe contrast injection can measure blood flow in the lungs of patients on breathing machines. If it works, it could help doctors better manage critically ill patients.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07577700Recruiting
Blood flow imaging study during pulmonary surgery
This study uses a special imaging technique called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to measure how blood flows through your lungs during surgery for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. The goal is to better understand how this imaging tool works and improve outcomes for patients having this procedure.

Kidney Blood Flow Monitoring During Minimally Invasive Abdominal Surgery
This research study tests two imaging methods—ultrasound and a special light-based scanner—to monitor how well your kidneys receive blood during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The goal is to understand kidney function better during this type of operation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for perfusion?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 170 recruiting perfusion 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 perfusion 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 perfusion 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.
