Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT04646252Recruiting
Testing a blood-surface feature to prevent heart problems
This study looks at whether a healthy blood lining (the glycocalyx) can help predict and reduce the risk of major heart events in people who have not yet had heart disease. You may be asked to do screening tests and share health information to see how these factors relate to future risk.
Athens, AtticaAges 18–85 - NCT04451551Recruiting
PET/CT scan study for reduced blood flow in the heart
This study uses a special PET/CT scan that shows how well blood reaches your heart muscle. It may help doctors better assess suspected or known reduced blood flow (ischemic heart disease).
Aarhus, Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT03965234RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung infusion for colorectal cancer that has spread to the lungs
This trial tests a procedure where chemotherapy is delivered directly into the lungs during surgery to remove or destroy lung tumors. It aims to reduce the chance of cancer returning after surgery for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the lungs.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03720522Recruiting
Study brain-heart signals in acute stroke using MRI
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact right after an acute ischemic stroke. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the first hours of stroke and improve monitoring or future treatments.
Bern, Canton of BernAges 18–86 - NCT03607565Recruiting
Imaging test to measure brain blood flow in stroke
This trial studies a new imaging measurement derived from DSA (a special type of brain blood-vessel scan) to better estimate how well blood is flowing in the brain. It may help doctors assess stroke-related blood-flow problems, but it excludes people who have brain bleeding.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges Any age - NCT03694691Recruiting
Creating a checklist for keeping donated livers viable
This study looks at a way to predict whether a donated liver will work well after being kept alive outside the body (“machine perfused”). It may help doctors choose the best livers and improve transplant outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT03195556Recruiting
Test ultrasound contrast to improve blood flow in legs
This study checks whether using a special ultrasound with contrast can improve blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have leg circulation problems, it may help doctors measure and potentially enhance how well blood reaches your limb.
Portland, OregonAges 19–99 - NCT02811523RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a lung procedure to treat sarcoma lung metastases
This early-phase study tests a special way to deliver medicine directly to the lungs (called IVLP) for sarcoma that has spread to both lungs. It aims to control lung metastases while reducing side effects, and it uses a plan that often includes surgery or focused radiation around the procedure.
TorontoAges birth–64 years - NCT07747441Recruiting
Blood flow monitoring during day-case knee surgery
This study looks at how blood flow in your fingers relates to low blood pressure during knee surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for future patients.
Ankara, Yenimahalle\AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07556588Recruiting
Heart transplant study using perfusion technology
This study tests a special machine that helps preserve and evaluate donor hearts before transplant. If you're waiting for a heart transplant, this trial may help doctors find the best donor hearts and improve transplant outcomes.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07854431Recruiting
Measuring brain blood flow with light in healthy adults
This study uses a safe, non-invasive light-based technique called near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure blood flow and oxygen in the brain. It aims to test a new monitoring device in healthy volunteers aged 20 to 40 to make sure it works correctly.
DüsseldorfAges 20–40 - NCT07792317Recruiting
Cold storage treatment for donated kidneys before transplant
This study tests a special cold storage solution and machine to keep donated kidneys healthy before they are transplanted. It may help the kidneys work better after surgery.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07793266RecruitingPhase 1
Seeing the knee better with dye during arthroscopy
This study tests whether a special dye helps doctors see knee structures better during knee arthroscopy (a minimally invasive surgery to look inside the knee). It may improve the accuracy of the procedure.
Detroit, MichiganAges 14–89 - NCT07820566Recruiting
Personalized 3D tumor model for kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers
This study uses your tumor sample to build a personalized 3D model that mimics how your cancer grows. The goal is to better understand these cancers and potentially find more effective treatments in the future.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07820371Recruiting
Perfusion index for diabetic ketoacidosis severity in the emergency department
This study looks at a simple, non-invasive measurement called the perfusion index, which shows how well blood is flowing to your tissues, to help doctors quickly determine how severe diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious diabetes complication) is. The goal is to see if this measurement can guide treatment and improve outcomes.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07832305Recruiting
Blood pressure targets and eye blood flow during nose surgery
This study looks at how different blood pressure targets during nose surgery affect blood flow to the eye and the optic nerve. It aims to find the safest way to protect eye health during anesthesia.
ÇorumAges 18 years+ - NCT07558174Recruiting
Monitoring blood flow during leg artery surgery with imaging
This study tests a special imaging camera that measures blood flow in your leg before, during, and after surgery to improve the artery. The goal is to help doctors see in real time whether the surgery is working properly.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07860346Recruiting
Measuring bone blood flow with a total-body PET/CT scan
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow in your bones using a special whole-body PET/CT scanner. It may help improve how doctors detect bone problems in the future.
LondonAges 50 years+ - NCT07740304Recruiting
Blood flow test to predict survival in sepsis patients
This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
Edirne, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT07687589Enrolling by invitation
Testing a gut hormone for nausea in healthy adults
This study tests whether a natural gut hormone called GIP can reduce nausea by increasing blood flow to the gut. Researchers want to see how this works in healthy people.
HellerupAges 18–60 - 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+ - NCT07834476Enrolling by invitation
Setting treatment targets for severe head injury in children
This study looks at information from children who had a serious head injury. It uses data from special brain monitors to help doctors decide how to best manage these injuries.

VitaSmart HOPE System liver transplant registry
This study follows people who receive a liver transplant using a special machine called the VitaSmart HOPE System, which keeps the donated liver healthy before transplant. The study tracks how well these livers work after transplant.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for perfusion?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 168 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.
