This trial tests if applying heat to the legs can improve blood vessel function in pregnant women with overweight or obesity. It may help manage blood pressure and reduce risks of pregnancy complications.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–45 - NCT06935344Recruiting
Can genes predict ovarian cancer risk?
This study looks at whether a score based on your genes can predict the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer. It compares women newly diagnosed with this cancer to women who have never had it.
Roma, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06941857RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (NC410 plus chemotherapy and nivolumab, with or without ipilimumab) for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if adding these immunotherapy agents can help shrink or control the tumor.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06941116Recruiting
Steroid test to screen for a common cause of high blood pressure
This trial tests whether a simple steroid-based test can help identify a specific type of high blood pressure called primary aldosteronism. If you have high blood pressure that needs medication, this study may help find a treatable cause.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT02843945RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing radiation for borderline pancreatic surgery using a tiny implant
This early trial studies whether adding targeted radiation during or around pancreatic surgery is safe and may improve outcomes for people with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. It is mainly looking at feasibility and safety while treating close to the tumor but not spreading (no metastasis).
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04891029Recruiting
Early detection testing for uterine or ovarian cancer risk
This study looks for early signs of uterine (endometrial) or ovarian cancer, especially in people with inherited risk. It may help doctors catch problems earlier, when treatment can be more effective.
Montreal, QuebecAges 45–75 - NCT05723913Recruiting
Test functional foods on blood sugar and gut bacteria
This study looks at how eating specific functional foods affects blood sugar after meals and changes in gut bacteria. It may help people understand ways to support healthy blood sugar and digestion, but it’s not for people with diabetes.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–60 - NCT05783466Recruiting
Testing how dairy affects heart risk in people with high weight
This study looks at whether eating more dairy (from cow’s milk) changes markers linked to heart and metabolic risk in adults with higher body weight. It mainly aims to understand how diet affects the body’s metabolism and related risk factors.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18–70 - NCT06320158Recruiting
Understanding muscle loss and obesity in older adults
This study looks at the link between muscle loss (sarcopenia) and obesity in older adults. It aims to understand why some older people who are overweight or obese also lose muscle strength and function, and how this affects recovery after hip surgery.
MilanAges 65–99 - NCT02288676Recruiting
Genetic testing to help diagnose ovarian or uterine cancer earlier
This study tests genetic (DNA) information to help doctors identify ovarian or uterine (endometrial) cancer sooner. You may be asked to do this around the time of planned surgery, when tissue is removed and can be checked for genetic clues.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT01353430Recruiting
Study of a rare muscle condition linked to Paget bone disease
This study looks at people and families with a rare muscle weakness condition that can be linked with Paget disease of the bone (and sometimes frontotemporal dementia). It aims to better describe how these conditions appear and relate, which can help future research and care.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04646083Recruiting
Tests how far a scope can insert in the small bowel
This trial looks at how deeply doctors can safely insert a camera scope into the ileum (a part of the small intestine) during a procedure called retrograde enteroscopy. It may help improve how the exam is done for people whose small-bowel problem wasn’t fully found by usual tests.
El Paso, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT06564428Recruiting
Ovarian cancer risk prediction study with genetic testing
This study looks at whether certain genetic mutations can help predict the risk of getting ovarian cancer. It aims to better understand how these inherited changes lead to the disease, which could help with early detection and prevention.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06738849Recruiting
Testing an app for insulin dosing
This trial tests the EkiYou smartphone app to help calculate your mealtime insulin dose. You need to have diabetes, use both a long-acting and a short-acting insulin pen, and be comfortable with a CGM and a smartphone.
