TurkuAges 18–80 - NCT03718637RecruitingPhase 4
Bioinductive implant for tennis elbow that therapy didn’t fix
This trial tests a special implant placed in the elbow to improve healing in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) when physical therapy and other non-surgical treatments haven’t worked. If you qualify, you may receive the implant to see if it helps reduce pain and improve elbow function.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT03844399Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging during liver or kidney procedures
This study uses a new 3D ultrasound scan while you get standard care for a liver or kidney biopsy or ablation. The goal is to see whether the imaging is clear and useful during these procedures.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03850015Recruiting
Ultrasound test to assess heart disease using faster images
This trial studies whether a newer, faster ultrasound imaging method can better assess areas of the heart that may not get enough blood during stress. You may be eligible if you have known coronary artery disease or are considered low risk, and if you can safely undergo the stress ultrasound test.
Harrow, MiddxAges 18 years+ - NCT03861507Recruiting
Power ultrasound helps locate prostate treatment needles
This trial studies whether a special ultrasound method (power Doppler ultrasound) can better guide where needles go during high-dose-rate radiation treatment for prostate cancer. The goal is to improve targeting during the procedure while you receive standard treatment.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03933670RecruitingPhase 2
MRI scan with special sugar to monitor prostate cancer on surveillance
This study uses a special MRI scan using “hyperpolarized” labeled pyruvate (a sugar-like substance) to see how prostate cancer may be behaving in people who are on active surveillance. It may help researchers monitor cancer without immediate treatment, by spotting changes earlier.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03952637RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for GM1 disease with IV delivery
This early-stage study tests an IV gene therapy that delivers a working copy of an enzyme gene to help the body make beta-galactosidase in GM1 gangliosidosis. It may help slow or improve disease symptoms and looks closely at safety and how well the treatment works.
