Testing how sugammadex crosses the placenta
This study uses donated placentas to see if sugammadex, a drug used to reverse anesthesia, can pass from mother to baby. The results may help guide safer anesthesia use in pregnant women.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–45 - NCT06314009Recruiting
Placental MRI Study for Healthy Pregnancies
This research study uses a special MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to look at blood flow in the placenta during pregnancy. The goal is to learn more about how the placenta works and find new ways to check on the health of both mom and baby.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18–60 - NCT05915299Recruiting
Heart surgery donor heart monitoring registry
This is a registry that collects information about how donated hearts are handled using a portable machine that keeps the heart healthy outside the body. It may help researchers improve future care, but it usually does not test a new medication.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT04913805RecruitingPhase 2
Study for HFpEF using heart pressure and energy signals
This Phase 2 study tests how matching heart “filling pressure” and heart muscle “energy use” may improve understanding or treatment of HFpEF, a type of heart failure with preserved pumping strength. You may be asked to have heart scans/tests and follow a study plan if your symptoms and test results fit.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04667078RecruitingPhase 3
Cangrelor plus thrombectomy to improve blood flow imaging in stroke
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding a clot-fighting medicine called cangrelor to a mechanical clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve outcomes in selected acute stroke patients. It targets people whose scan shows there may be salvageable brain tissue, aiming to protect more brain while the clot is treated.
BesançonAges 18–80 - NCT07120672Recruiting
Breathing tube removal success study
This study tests if a new method (PPI) can better predict when a patient is ready to have their breathing tube removed after a trial of spontaneous breathing.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06471907Recruiting
Comparing pain relief and blood flow during back injections
This study tests a new way to give a pain-relieving injection for lower back problems. If you have ongoing back pain from a disc, narrowing, or slipped bone, this treatment may help reduce your pain.
DaeguAges 20–80 - NCT06149195Enrolling by invitation
Heart scan for managing heart failure
This trial tests a special heart scan (18F-MFBG) to see if it can help doctors better manage heart failure. You may qualify if you have chronic heart failure with a weak heart pump and are planning to get a defibrillator.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06345443Enrolling by invitation
Nicotinamide riboside for blood vessel health
This trial tests a nutritional supplement (nicotinamide riboside) to see how it affects blood flow in healthy adults. It may help understand how to support vascular health as we age.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 35–70 - NCT02425540Recruiting
MRI with special images to sort unclear ovarian masses
This study uses pelvic MRI with special techniques (including blood-flow and water-movement pictures) to better classify ovarian/adnexal masses that ultrasound cannot clearly explain. It may help doctors choose the safest next steps based on more detailed imaging.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges Any age - NCT07502053Recruiting
Can a dye help prevent a pancreas leak after Whipple surgery?
This trial tests if using a special dye during surgery can reduce the risk of a pancreatic fistula (a leak from the pancreas) after a Whipple procedure. The dye helps the surgeon see blood flow to the remaining pancreas, which may improve healing.
Girona, GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT07613632Recruiting
Lung Blood Flow Changes After Vein Graft Repair
This study measures how blood flow and oxygen distribution in your lungs change after a procedure to unclog a dialysis access graft. Researchers use painless electrode patches on your chest to track these changes and better understand how the procedure affects your breathing.
