Harrow, MiddxAges 18 years+ - NCT06178354Recruiting
Freezing or ultrasound for early prostate cancer
This trial is testing whether freezing (cryotherapy) or using high-frequency ultrasound (HIFU) to destroy only the cancer spots in the prostate is safe and effective for men with early-stage prostate cancer. It's a less invasive option that targets just the tumor, not the whole prostate.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05640947Recruiting
Procedure to reverse bypass using an endoscopic stent
This trial studies a minimally invasive procedure that uses a stent placed through an endoscope to create a new connection in the stomach, with the goal of reversing a Roux-en-y gastric bypass. It may help people whose bypass has led to nutrition problems, severe dumping symptoms, difficult marginal ulcers, or liver scarring that worsens after surgery.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT03231150Recruiting
Study for heel pain from plantar fasciitis
This trial studies treatments for ongoing heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis (pain in the band on the bottom of your foot). If you qualify, you may receive an injection treatment and be compared with a control group to see what works best.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06146764Recruiting
Better ultrasound for thyroid cancer diagnosis
This study uses a special ultrasound method called contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to see if it can improve accuracy of diagnosing thyroid cancer. If you have a thyroid nodule and have had certain tests, this trial may help doctors better understand your condition.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06122896RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Screening for pancreatic cancer in high-risk people
This trial uses MRI and endoscopic ultrasound to look for early signs of pancreatic cancer in people who have a high risk due to their genes or family history. Finding it early may lead to better treatment options.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06107361Recruiting
Guidewire use for ultrasound-guided IVs
This trial tests whether using a special guidewire during ultrasound-guided IV placement helps the IV last longer. It may be a good option if you have hard-to-find veins and need an IV.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06128681Recruiting
Diagnosis and treatment of mediastinal problems
This study tests a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating problems in the mediastinum (the space between your lungs). It uses a bronchoscopy (a camera through the airway) to take a biopsy and possibly treat the area, all while you are under general anesthesia.
TianjinAges 18–80 - NCT06105801RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two biopsy methods for lung cancer genetic testing
This study compares two ways to get a larger tissue sample from lymph nodes in the chest after a first small test confirmed cancer. The goal is to see which method provides better material for detailed genetic testing (next generation sequencing) that can guide treatment choices.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06128018Recruiting
Endoscopic vs surgical bypass for stomach blockage
This study compares two ways to help with gastric outlet obstruction (a blockage in the stomach or small intestine) caused by a tumor. It tests if a procedure using an endoscope (a long, flexible tube with a camera) is as good as surgery to help you eat and drink more comfortably.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06084234RecruitingPhase 4
National liver cancer screening trial
This trial is testing a new way to screen for liver cancer in people with cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis B. It aims to find cancer earlier so it can be treated more effectively.
