Testing HOPE treatment to prevent liver cancer return after transplant
This study tests a special way of preserving donated livers, called HOPE, to see if it lowers the chance of liver cancer coming back after a liver transplant. If you have liver cancer and are waiting for a transplant, this trial might be an option for you.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05700682Recruiting
MRI-guided artery blockage procedure for long-term joint pain
This study tests whether an MRI scan that looks at blood flow can help target a joint embolization procedure to reduce chronic shoulder, hip, or knee pain. It first uses MRI to find signs of increased blood flow, then may use the findings to guide treatment if you qualify.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 25–80 - NCT04833335Recruiting
MRI scans to tell tumor spread from radiation injury
This trial studies how a special MRI can help doctors tell whether brain lesions after Gamma Knife treatment are growing tumors or radiation injury. It may help you avoid unnecessary treatment if the findings suggest radionecrosis instead of progression.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06673862Enrolling by invitation
Detecting fluid needs with a breathing machine change
This trial checks if a simple change in ventilator settings (a tidal volume challenge) can predict whether you need more fluids, compared to a standard fluid challenge. It's for patients on a breathing machine who have low blood flow.
Banhā, Al-QalyubiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06641843Enrolling by invitation
Heart stress test using MRI for children with heart disease
This study uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to look at blood flow to the heart muscle during stress in children with certain heart conditions. It may help doctors better understand how the heart is working.
Chengdu, SichuanAges Up to 18 years - NCT06634355Enrolling by invitation
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 - NCT06601842Recruiting
Brain blood flow monitoring after cardiac arrest
This study tests a way to monitor blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest that was not caused by trauma. It aims to help doctors find the best blood pressure to support brain recovery in the ICU.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06600178RecruitingPhase 1
Heart medication for women with chest pain and small vessel disease
This trial tests a diabetes medication called SGLT2 inhibitors to see if it can improve blood flow to the heart and reduce chest pain in women who have small vessel heart disease (microvascular dysfunction) but not blocked large arteries. Participants will take the medication and be monitored for symptom relief and heart function improvements.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06578234RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing Adenosine Doses for Heart MRI
This study will compare different doses of adenosine during a heart MRI to find the best dose for measuring blood flow to the heart muscle. It is for people with known or possible coronary artery disease or heart failure, as well as healthy volunteers.
LundAges 40 years+ - NCT06560801RecruitingPhase 4
Dapagliflozin for kidney health after transplant
This trial tests whether taking dapagliflozin (a drug often used for diabetes and heart health) can help improve kidney structure and blood flow in people who received a kidney transplant at least 9 months ago. It may benefit those whose kidney function is stable, regardless of whether they have diabetes.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18–75 - NCT06384287Recruiting
Checking skin blood flow in ICU patients with shock
This study tests a new way to check blood flow in the tiny blood vessels of the skin for people in the ICU with circulatory failure from sepsis or heart failure. It helps doctors understand how well blood is reaching tissues, which may guide treatment.
