Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–85 - NCT06466811Recruiting
Predicting blockages in external ventricular drains
This study looks at whether brain scans can help predict when a ventricular drain (a small tube placed in the brain to drain fluid) might get blocked. If researchers can predict blockages, they might be able to prevent complications.
Nantes, Loire-AtlantiqueAges 18 years+ - NCT06470594Recruiting
Endometriosis and inflammation: a study on surgery and fertility
This study looks at how inflammation in the body may affect endometriosis symptoms, surgery results, and future fertility. Researchers want to see if markers of inflammation can help predict outcomes for women with endometriosis.
NaplesAges 18–45 - NCT06473103Recruiting
Checking skin cancer margins with a new microscope
This trial is testing a new microscope technique that may help doctors see more clearly whether all cancer cells have been removed during standard skin cancer surgery. It could help make sure the surgery is successful the first time.
Victor, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07690267Recruiting
Continuous vital sign monitoring in a surgical ward
This trial tests if keeping a close watch on vital signs like heart rate and breathing using wearable sensors can help spot problems earlier in people recovering from stomach or bowel surgery. It aims to make the recovery safer and catch any complications sooner.
Lørenskog, AkershusAges 18 years+ - NCT06590467Recruiting
Abbott heart device registry study
This registry is a large, ongoing study that collects information about Abbott heart devices used in routine care. It helps doctors learn how well these devices work and how patients are doing over time, without changing your treatment plan.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT06906471RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a PSMA dye to improve prostate biopsy
This trial tests a new dye (AS1986NS) that sticks to prostate cancer cells during a biopsy. It aims to help doctors see cancer more clearly. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for a standard prostate biopsy and have no major health issues.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT06487507Recruiting
Mediterranean diets for men before prostate surgery
This study tests whether a medically designed Mediterranean diet can help men before prostate cancer surgery. You would eat special foods and be monitored closely to see how the diet affects your health and recovery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06492954RecruitingPhase 1
Testing atezolizumab with radiation and surgery for lung-only osteosarcoma
This trial tests whether combining an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) with focused radiation and surgery can help people whose osteosarcoma has come back only in the lungs. It aims to see if this approach is safe and may improve outcomes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Up to 50 years - NCT06503588Recruiting
No ureteral stent change for urinary infections
This trial tests whether leaving a ureteral stent in place during a urinary tract infection is safe. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures for patients with an indwelling ureteral catheter who develop a urinary infection.
Nancy, LorraineAges Any age - NCT06504381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
DB107 and radiation therapy for high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new two-part treatment (DB107-RRV and DB107-FC) combined with radiation, with or without the chemotherapy drug temozolomide, for people with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06512779Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment clustering study
This study looks at sleep recordings to group people with obstructive sleep apnea based on their unique signals. The goal is to match each person to the best treatment for them.
TainanAges 20 years+ - NCT06513143Recruiting
Virtual reality surgery training from CT scans
This trial uses your CT scan to build a virtual reality surgical platform. It may help doctors practice surgeries in a safe, simulated environment.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06514170Recruiting
Stomach and bowel function after aortic surgery
This study looks at how stomach and bowel function changes after major aortic surgery. It may help doctors understand and prevent digestive problems in patients who need extended time on a ventilator after surgery.
Mexico City, TlalpanAges 18 years+ - NCT06513598Recruiting
Finding infection signs after abdominal cancer surgery
This study looks for ways to better predict and catch infections after major abdominal cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for certain cancers (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, colon, or rectum), the researchers will check your blood and other samples for early signs of infection so they can start treatment sooner.
VilniusAges 18 years+ - NCT06514677Recruiting
Nonsurgical treatment for implant infection with ultrasonic carbon tip
This study tests whether using a special ultrasonic carbon tip (a gentle cleaning tool) can treat infection around a dental implant without surgery. It is for people with a single problem implant who are otherwise healthy and have good oral hygiene.
KütahyaAges 18–99 - NCT06524401Recruiting
New device to prevent skin problems after ostomy surgery
This study tests a new device called the Limpet that is placed over a stoma (an opening in your belly after colon surgery) to help prevent skin problems. It might help people with a new ileostomy or a high-output fistula.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06532955Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for arm swelling after breast cancer
This trial tests a robotic surgical technique to reconnect tiny lymph vessels and reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) in women who had breast cancer treatment. It may help if your swelling is still in the early stages.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06534489Recruiting
Surgery for lung cancer after chemo or targeted therapy
This trial tests whether combining chemo or targeted therapy before surgery can help people with non-small cell lung cancer that may require removing a whole lung. We want to see if this approach makes the surgery safer and more effective.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06552260RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Troriluzole before surgery for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests whether an investigational drug called troriluzole can help people with recurrent glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor). You would take the drug for a short time before your planned surgery, so researchers can study how the drug affects your tumor tissue. The goal is to see if it might slow tumor growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06552910Recruiting
