Apiban to Help Dialysis Fistulas Mature Successfully
This trial tests whether a blood-thinner medication called apixaban (Apiban) helps arteriovenous fistulas—surgically created connections in the arm for dialysis—develop and work better. If it helps fistulas mature faster and more reliably, it could reduce complications and improve treatment for kidney failure patients.

Long-term outcomes after fetal lung surgery for diaphragmatic hernia
This study follows babies born after a special fetal surgery (FETO) that places a temporary balloon in the baby's windpipe to help the lungs grow when they have a diaphragmatic hernia—a hole in the muscle that separates the chest from the belly. Researchers want to understand how these children do over time after this procedure.

New Heart Scan to Detect Blood Clots in Amyloid Heart Disease
This study tests a new type of imaging scan ([64Cu]FBP8 PET) to detect blood clots that may form in the heart's left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart) in patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy (a disease where abnormal protein builds up in heart muscle) who also have irregular heartbeat. The scan may help doctors catch clots earlier and prevent strokes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07559864RecruitingPhase 2
Regorafenib plus Envafolimab for treatment-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors
This study tests a combination of two drugs (regorafenib and envafolimab) for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (a type of stomach/bowel cancer) that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The trial compares this combination to other doctor-selected treatments to see if it slows tumor growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07565272Enrolling by invitation
Virtual Reality Game for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Arm Strength
This study tests a video game played in virtual reality to see if it helps people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a muscle-weakening condition) use their arms and hands better. Researchers want to understand if the game is easy to use and enjoyable.
IstanbulAges 7 years+ - NCT06735521Recruiting
Heart MRI stress test for Fontan circulation
This study uses a special heart MRI with a medicine that stresses the heart (like exercise) to look at blood flow in people who have had the Fontan surgery. The goal is to better understand how the heart works after this surgery.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06734520Recruiting
Super transplant for severe beta-thalassemia
This trial tests a special type of stem cell transplant (called a super transplant) for children with a severe form of beta-thalassemia. It may be an option if you cannot or choose not to have a standard stem cell transplant or gene therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 7–10 - NCT05315167RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug PRJ1-3024 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests how safe PRJ1-3024 is and how the body handles it, and it also looks for early signs that it can shrink advanced solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer can’t be treated with standard options.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT04920149RecruitingPhase 2
Mesalamine to help prevent colon cancer in Lynch syndrome
This trial tests whether mesalamine, a medicine used for bowel inflammation, can help prevent colorectal cancer in people with Lynch syndrome who do not currently have cancer. It may help by lowering the chance that new pre-cancer growths form over time.
AalborgAges 30 years+ - NCT07554092Recruiting
Fast vs. Standard Casting for Baby Club Foot Treatment
This study compares two ways of treating club foot (a condition where a baby's foot is twisted inward at birth) using casts: a faster method and the traditional method. It will measure which approach works better using X-rays to see how well the foot straightens.
Peshawar, KPKAges 1 day–5 months - NCT07556185Recruiting
