ShanghaiAges 18–90 - NCT04529785Recruiting
Tested added ethanol vein treatment during repeat atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial compares two ways to help stop atrial fibrillation during a repeat procedure: standard vein isolation only versus standard isolation plus an added medicine (ethanol) into the vein of Marshall. It aims to see whether the added step improves results when atrial fibrillation returns after a previous successful treatment.
Bruges, Please SelectAges 18 years+ - NCT04532606RecruitingPhase 4
Remimazolam to improve outcomes after bladder tumor surgery
This trial tests whether the anesthesia medicine remimazolam can improve recovery and longer-term outcomes after surgery for early-stage bladder cancer. If you are having a bladder tumor procedure through the urethra, this study may help doctors understand whether this anesthesia choice matters for prognosis.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–90 - NCT04545957Recruiting
Radiation planning study using MRI for adults with cancer
This trial tests a “master protocol” approach to use MRI (a detailed body scan) to help plan radiation treatment for people with cancer. It may help doctors customize radiation more accurately, depending on your specific cancer type.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04546399RecruitingPhase 2
Blinatumomab with or without nivolumab for first relapse ALL
This study compares blinatumomab alone versus blinatumomab plus nivolumab in young people whose B-cell ALL has returned for the first time. It aims to see whether adding nivolumab improves control of the leukemia after relapse.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–30 - NCT04547777RecruitingPhase 1
Early Phase brain tumor treatment with implanted device and injections
This Phase 1 study tests a new brain-tumor treatment in people with recurrent (coming back) high-grade glioma (brain cancer). The study uses injected medicine along with an implanted tumor device and aims to find whether the treatment is safe and can shrink or control tumors.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04573140RecruitingPhase 1
RNA vaccine study for newly diagnosed adult and pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies an “RNA-lipid particle” vaccine given after surgery for certain newly diagnosed brain cancers (glioblastoma in adults, high-grade glioma in children/teens). The goal is to see whether the vaccine is safe and can train the immune system to fight the tumor.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4 years+ - NCT04597294RecruitingPhase 3
Preventive pre-op HIPEC for advanced stomach cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding a heated chemotherapy procedure during surgery (HIPEC) before the main cancer treatment can lower the chance that stomach cancer returns in the belly. It is for people with advanced stomach cancer who are at higher risk of cancer coming back in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen).
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodshipAges 18–75 - NCT04615143RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab with or without lenvatinib before liver surgery
This trial studies whether taking tislelizumab alone or with lenvatinib before surgery can shrink recurrent liver cancer and improve outcomes. It may help by treating the cancer earlier (before the tumor is removed).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04642027RecruitingPhase 3
PSMA scan-guided salvage radiation after prostate surgery
This trial tests whether using a specialized PSMA PET scan to guide radiation can better treat prostate cancer that returns after prostate surgery. It targets the “prostate bed” area with a shorter, stronger radiation schedule (hypofractionated) to control rising PSA levels.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18–80 - NCT04645511Recruiting
Balloon treatment for long-term or repeat maxillary sinusitis
This study tests whether balloon sinuplasty works better or more efficiently for people with long-lasting or repeatedly returning inflammation in the maxillary sinuses (side sinuses near your cheeks). It focuses on people who did not improve with the usual nose spray (topical steroid) or who meet specific “recurrent” episode patterns.
