Ultrasound for emphysema in COPD and lung cancer
This study uses ultrasound (a safe, painless sound wave test) to check for emphysema (damaged air sacs in the lungs) in people with COPD or those being screened for lung cancer. It aims to see if ultrasound can replace the need for CT scans.
Acquaviva delle FontiAges 18 years+ - NCT06543615Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound stomach check before surgery in sleeve gastrectomy patients
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much stomach content remains after fasting in people who have had sleeve gastrectomy surgery. It aims to understand if the standard 8-hour fasting period is enough for this group before other surgeries.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 21–45 - NCT06540196Recruiting
AI tool to predict lung cancer spread during ultrasound staging
This trial tests an artificial intelligence platform that helps doctors predict if lymph nodes in the chest contain cancer during a routine ultrasound procedure. It aims to make staging more accurate for people with suspected or confirmed non-small cell lung cancer.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06524570RecruitingPhase 1
Focused ultrasound plus immune therapy for advanced cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that combines a special type of focused ultrasound (called histotripsy) with an immune checkpoint inhibitor to boost the immune system's attack on cancer. It is for people with advanced cancer that has not responded to standard treatments.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06517901Recruiting
Comparing two MRI-guided biopsy methods for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways to use MRI images during a prostate biopsy to see which finds cancer better. It looks at 'fusion' biopsy (where a computer combines MRI with live ultrasound) versus 'cognitive' biopsy (where the doctor mentally matches the MRI to the ultrasound).
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06525831Recruiting
3D printing kidney models for surgery planning
This trial uses MRI scans to create 3D printed models of kidneys with tumors. It aims to help surgeons plan operations. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for kidney tumor removal.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06521502Recruiting
Studying inflammation in the heart and lungs in the ICU
This study collects blood samples from people in the ICU with sudden heart or lung problems caused by inflammation. The goal is to learn more about these conditions and improve future treatments.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06496256Recruiting
Barrigel gel for radiation after prostate removal
This trial tests a gel placed in the rectum during radiation therapy to protect healthy tissue after prostate removal. It is for men whose prostate cancer has come back (PSA rise) and who need radiation to the prostate bed.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06497959RecruitingPhase 3
Ultrasound study of placenta blood flow
This trial uses a special contrast dye during ultrasound to examine blood flow in the placenta of pregnant women who have chosen to end their pregnancy for medical reasons. It may help understand the role of poor placental blood flow in severe fetal growth restriction.
