This study looks at early buildup of plaque in heart arteries in young adults from Pakistan. It may help doctors understand why this happens earlier and guide better prevention and screening.
Karachi, SindhAges 35–65 - NCT05802394Recruiting
Using blood tests to track cancer after pancreatic treatment
This trial studies whether a blood test (ctDNA, a DNA signal from tumors) can help track how pancreatic cancer responds during planned conversion therapy. It may help doctors spot treatment response earlier and guide next steps.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05149625Recruiting
Compare glucose tracking with a sensor versus finger sticks
This study compares two ways to monitor blood sugar after partial or full pancreas removal: a continuous glucose sensor versus traditional finger-stick testing. It looks at both how well blood sugar is controlled and how satisfied people feel with each method.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT02169518Recruiting
Testing blood fat markers in diabetes and heart health
This study measures how certain blood “fat” markers relate to blood sugar control and inflammation. It may help researchers understand risk factors for heart disease in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and people preparing for weight-loss surgery.
Manchester, LancashireAges 20–75 - NCT05802407Recruiting
ctDNA blood test monitoring after pancreatic cancer surgery
This study looks at whether a special blood test (ctDNA) can detect tiny amounts of pancreatic cancer left after surgery. It may help doctors monitor who is at higher risk of cancer coming back, so they can tailor follow-up and treatment timing.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04455867Recruiting
Study of type 2 diabetes risk and early treatment
This study looks at people who may be on the way to developing type 2 diabetes or who have it, to see how to help and better understand the condition. Depending on the part of the study you join, it may include brain scans and sleep testing.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05810701Recruiting
Geriatric screening for newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients
This study looks at older adults with newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian cancer and checks health factors that can affect treatment, like day-to-day function and support needs. It may help doctors choose better care plans for older patients by understanding risks and needs early.
Odense, Region of South DenmarkAges 70–120 - NCT05005897RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Micronutrient supplements for early infant growth and development
This study tests whether early infant nutrition using specific micronutrients (small amounts of key vitamins and nutrients) can support healthy growth and development. It includes babies whose moms plan to breastfeed for long enough, and it excludes infants with serious health problems.
LillehammerAges 1 month–2 months - NCT03458221RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Biology-guided test on recurrent ovarian cancer activity
This trial studies whether a targeted treatment, chosen based on tumor biology, can help people with recurrent ovarian cancer. You may be asked to give a tumor biopsy so researchers can analyze specific “signal” activity in your cancer.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT03842475Recruiting
Who may benefit from weight-loss surgery for diabetes?
This study looks at which people with type 2 diabetes (or prediabetes) are most likely to benefit from bariatric surgery. It compares people who are planning surgery with healthy volunteers to better understand how body changes relate to blood sugar.
London, Greater LondonAges 18–80 - NCT05588583Recruiting
Tracking drainage from chronic leg or foot ulcers with a dressing
This study follows how much fluid (drainage) a chronic ulcer produces over time using a dressing called Mepilex Up. It may help clinicians better understand how this dressing manages “exuding” ulcers on the leg or foot.
Castro Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04096794Recruiting
Smartphone-based research study for people with type 1 diabetes
This study is a multi-site project designed for people who have type 1 diabetes and can use a smartphone app (WeChat or a similar app). It aims to collect research information in a way that’s easier to follow day to day, which may help improve future care for type 1 diabetes.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT02010814Recruiting
Study women with PCOS who are not pregnant
This study follows women with PCOS (a hormone-related condition that can affect periods and other body functions). It’s for women who are not pregnant, helping researchers better understand PCOS over time.
OdenseAges 18–45 - NCT04844060Recruiting
Study collecting spinal fluid from patients needing a lumbar puncture
This study collects cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain and spinal cord) during a lumbar puncture. It aims to improve how doctors use this information for accurate diagnosis in patients who need the procedure.
StrasbourgAges Any age - NCT03358797Recruiting
Lifestyle program to prevent diabetes in Arab women
This trial tests a community-based lifestyle program to help prevent type 2 diabetes. It may help you lower your risk if you can follow the schedule during the study.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT02429700RecruitingPhase 3
