Study exercise and body muscle changes in advanced lung cancer
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.

Test drug to slow kidney damage in type 2 diabetes
This Phase 2 study compares tofogliflozin to metformin to see how well they reduce urine albumin levels (a marker of kidney stress) in people with diabetic kidney disease. You might benefit if your type 2 diabetes is affecting your kidneys despite standard blood-pressure medicines.
Matsumoto, NaganoAges 20 years+ - NCT05136222Recruiting
Testing a night breathing machine setting for muscle-nerve disease
This study helps find the best night-time settings for a non-invasive breathing support device (a machine that helps breathing without a tube). It may help people with motor neurone disease start long-term breathing support more comfortably and effectively.
AdelaideAges 18 years+ - NCT03449784Recruiting
Checks how well cholesterol treatment follows guidelines
This study looks at whether treatment for cholesterol and related fats matches European and French medical guidelines. It uses blood tests taken soon after hospital admission to understand current care and may help improve how patients are treated.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT03362164Recruiting
Studying heart involvement in people with Fabry disease
This study looks at how the heart is affected in adults with Fabry disease. It may help doctors better understand heart-related changes in order to guide care.
Würzburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT02420470Recruiting
An early warning system for diabetic brain changes
This study tests whether an “early warning” approach can detect early changes in the brain related to diabetes before serious problems happen. If you qualify, you may be asked to take part in brain and health assessments to see how well the system works.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 40–65 - NCT05248763Recruiting
Cancer Moonshot program for specific cancer types
This study is for people with certain cancers: lung, breast, gastric (stomach), pancreatic, or ovarian. It aims to test a Moonshot-style approach to improve cancer care for these groups.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT03718403RecruitingPhase 4
Theophylline trial for pseudohypoparathyroidism
This Phase 4 study tests whether the medicine theophylline can help people with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A or 1B. It may be considered if you’re trying to improve how your body uses parathyroid hormone and manage related calcium levels.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–21 - NCT05058781Recruiting
Study of early hormone changes in newborns at risk
This trial looks at “minipuberty,” a normal early hormone window in newborns, in babies who may have hormone-signaling problems. It may help doctors understand what to watch for and how early care could be planned.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges Up to 9 months - NCT04520074RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo after surgery for BRCA1/2 wild-type ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies a three-step “extra” chemotherapy plan after surgery for people with certain advanced ovarian, fallopian-tube, or primary peritoneal cancers. The goal is to improve outcomes by lowering the chance the cancer comes back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05472922Recruiting
Small stomach bypass surgery for weight loss
This trial compares a “mini” gastric bypass procedure to help with weight loss in adults who qualify for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It’s testing whether the approach works well and is safe for people who meet the study requirements.
AlmeloAges 18 years+ - NCT05221359Recruiting
Safety trial of ExOlin® for adults with hard-to-control type 1 diabetes
This trial checks whether ExOlin® is safe in adults with type 1 diabetes who have had difficult blood sugar control or injection-site skin problems despite insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring. It’s mainly looking for safety and comfort while using the treatment devices.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT05015283Recruiting
Gastric bypass type surgery to help type 2 diabetes go into remission
This study compares two kinds of weight-loss surgeries to see which helps people with type 2 diabetes reach diabetes remission more safely. It may help if your diabetes is not well controlled and your care team recommends one of these operations.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT04432025Recruiting
Medication after weight-loss surgery for type 2 diabetes
This trial looks at whether a specific diabetes medicine given after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery can improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. You might be considered if you are eligible for this surgery and meet the weight criteria.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT04914026Recruiting
MicroRNA test for testicular cancer diagnosis
This study looks at tiny genetic signals called microRNAs to see if they can help identify or track testicular cancer. It may help doctors recognize testicular cancer more accurately and decide what to do next.
BergenAges 18–70 - NCT05494138Recruiting
