This study tests a special cooling balloon to freeze and stabilize dangerous plaques in heart arteries that are not the main cause of your current symptoms. It aims to prevent future heart attacks.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06194526Enrolling by invitation
Blood test to measure heart artery plaque
This study is testing whether a new blood test can detect the amount of plaque buildup in your heart arteries compared to what a CT scan shows. It may help people with known or suspected coronary artery disease get a simpler, faster way to check their heart health.
Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aire, Buenos Aires F.D.Ages 18–75 - NCT06025305Enrolling by invitation
Using AI to find dangerous heart plaque on CT scans
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at CT scans of the heart to find which fatty deposits (plaque) in the arteries might be dangerous. It may help doctors better predict heart attacks.

Test ixekizumab and stopping it in plaque psoriasis
This study looks at how well ixekizumab (an injection medication) works for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, and what happens when the treatment is withdrawn. It may help you learn whether stopping the medicine is safe and how skin disease outcomes change over time.

This study looks at how different psoriasis treatments affect nerve-related pain and sensitivity. It compares patients on biologic injections, standard pills, or creams to see if treatment type matters for pain and skin symptoms.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07822737Recruiting
Using CT scans to find high-risk heart plaque
This study uses a special CT scan to look at the inside of your heart arteries and find any high-risk fatty deposits (plaque) that might cause problems later. It aims to see if this scan can predict future heart events, so you and your doctor can make better treatment choices.
Beijing, ChinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07822269Recruiting
