Testing a candy-based sugar drink screen for gestational diabetes
This study tests whether a candy “sugar twist” drink can be used instead of the usual glucose screening test to find gestational diabetes during pregnancy. It may help make screening easier, but whether you can join depends on your pregnancy timing and prior diabetes risk results.

Study links between abnormal blood fats and health risks
This study looks at why triglycerides and cholesterol can be abnormal and how that may affect organs like nerves, liver, and metabolism. You may be included if you already take a statin, have certain triglyceride levels, diabetes, kidney disease, or specific lab patterns suggesting inherited fat disorders.

Propofol vs sevoflurane anesthesia in ovarian tumor surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia medicines—propofol and sevoflurane—during planned surgery for primary ovarian tumors. It looks at how these anesthetics may affect outcomes in people having elective brain surgery related to ovarian cancer treatment planning.

Tests better diagnosis and treatment planning for kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
This trial focuses on improving how kidney damage is diagnosed and how treatment is planned for people with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. It may help by using detailed medical history and (if done) kidney biopsy results to guide care more accurately.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05883072Recruiting
Using AI to support care for people with diabetes in Pakistan
This study tests whether AI-generated support can be helpful for adults living with diabetes. You may be asked to participate if you live in Pakistan and can legally consent.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–100 - NCT04581447RecruitingPhase 3
Metformin to help prevent diabetes returning after weight surgery
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding metformin after gastric bypass or sleeve surgery can help you stay free of diabetes for longer. It compares metformin plus standard care versus standard care alone.
AmiensAges 18–70 - NCT04519151RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib for ovarian cancer that returned
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib can shrink ovarian cancer that has come back after platinum chemotherapy. You may be eligible if your cancer returned after a certain “time off” from prior treatment and you meet key health and safety requirements.
Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT05912972Recruiting
Registry study for women with gynecologic cancers
This is a research study that builds a registry (a record) of women in Korea with cervical, endometrial, or ovarian cancer. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and plan future studies.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05906147Recruiting
Bone health improvement program for adults over 40
This study tests a structured bone health improvement program for adults over age 40 who are attending a health checkup at the hospital. It aims to improve or maintain bone strength, using bone density measurements as part of the study.
Changsha, HunanAges 40–100 - NCT05916391RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for diabetic macular swelling affecting vision
This early-stage (Phase 1) study tests a new gene therapy to improve vision for adults with diabetic macular edema. It mainly looks at whether the treatment can be safely given and may help your vision over time.
Tianjin, Tianjin,ChinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04695028Recruiting
Study to better understand crystal-related joint pain

Quality of life after rectal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies how patients’ day-to-day quality of life changes after a specific type of rectal/low anterior resection during treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. It may help the medical team understand what symptoms and recovery needs to expect after surgery.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05924347Recruiting
Imaging study to spot early spine changes in at-risk children
This study uses MRI and physical measurements to look for early signs of scoliosis (a side-bending of the spine) in children who are at higher risk. It may help doctors understand when scoliosis starts and improve early monitoring.
