TIPS and liver recovery in decompensated cirrhosis
This trial studies whether a procedure called TIPS (a stent placed in the liver to improve blood flow) can help people with advanced liver disease regain better liver function. It is for patients who have had complications like severe bleeding from the stomach or difficult-to-control fluid buildup (ascites).
ChangshaAges 18–80 - NCT06476145Recruiting
Testing two ways to reduce polyp regrowth after removal
This study looks at two different methods for removing large colon polyps to see which one better prevents polyps from coming back. It may help people who have a non-cancerous, flat polyp that is at least 20 mm wide.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07216937Recruiting
Comparing 3D-printed vs. regular ear tip comfort
This study compares how comfortable 3D-printed ear tips are versus regular ear tips for people with normal hearing.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–89 - NCT07513493RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two endometrial biopsy tools for women
This study compares two different devices used to collect tissue samples from the uterus (endometrial biopsy). Doctors use these samples to check for cancer or other problems when women have abnormal bleeding or other concerning symptoms. The trial will help determine which device works better and causes less discomfort.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18–95 - NCT06624098Recruiting
Early TIPS for Advanced Liver Cancer with Vein Blockage
This study tests whether placing a small tube (TIPS) early in people with advanced liver cancer and a vein blockage helps their other treatments work better. It is for patients who are already taking lenvatinib and immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06816342RecruitingPhase 4
Emergency spacers vs. traditional spacers for asthma
This trial tests whether an emergency-use spacer works as well as a traditional spacer for delivering asthma medication through an inhaler. It may help people with mild to moderate asthma breathe better during an attack.

Stories to prevent HPV cancers
This trial tests if sharing stories can help parents decide to get their child the HPV vaccine. It is for parents of children ages 9 to 12 who have not yet started the HPV shot series.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07228598Recruiting
Biofilm on chest drains after surgery
This study looks at a thin layer of bacteria (called biofilm) that can form on chest drains after surgery. Researchers want to learn if this biofilm causes infections and which antibiotics might work best—so they can improve care for patients like you.
