Track blood sugar changes with your period in type 1 diabetes
This study monitors how your blood sugar (glucose) changes across your menstrual cycle using a continuous glucose monitor. It may help researchers understand patterns that could improve diabetes care around monthly hormonal changes.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–50 - NCT05269589Recruiting
Home heat therapy for people with type 2 diabetes
This trial tests whether using heat therapy at home can improve health in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help people who already have stable diabetes treatment, but it is not for everyone, especially if certain heart, nerve, or vision problems are present.
Montreal, QuebecAges 45–75 - NCT05307731RecruitingPhase 4
Fingolimod for adults with type 2 diabetes
This trial studies whether fingolimod can improve diabetes in adults with type 2 diabetes who are not yet on many medications. It will mainly check whether the drug is safe and whether it can help control blood sugar over time.

Care team study for families with high cholesterol
This study tests a “reach everyone” approach in primary care clinics to improve care for people with familial hypercholesterolemia (families with very high cholesterol). It may help families get recognized sooner and get the right follow-up.
Multiple Locations, PennsylvaniaAges 26 years+ - NCT05283993Recruiting
Hospital study following people with plasma cell disorders
This is a hospital-based study that follows people with plasma cell disorders to better understand these conditions. It mainly gathers information from patients who are confirmed to have one of several related diseases.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT05297734Recruiting
Study compares two cancer support care plans
This study tests two different ways of providing supportive care for adults with cancer to see which one works better. It may help improve comfort, support, and care coordination during treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05287737Enrolling by invitation
After TPIAT and blood-sugar sensor study
This study looks at outcomes after a procedure called TPIAT (total pancreatectomy with islet auto-transplantation), which aims to improve insulin function and blood-sugar control. It may help doctors better understand how people do over time after the procedure.
Leiden, South HollandAges 16 years+ - NCT05284552RecruitingPhase 2
Tinzaparin blood-thinner and biomarkers after ovarian cancer surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether the blood thinner tinzaparin used after neoadjuvant treatment can change blood markers (“biomarkers”) in people with certain stages of ovarian cancer. It aims to understand if tinzaparin affects the body’s cancer-related signals, which could help future treatment decisions.
Eksjö, EksjöAges 18 years+ - NCT05267990Enrolling by invitation
CT calcium scan to prevent heart problems in diabetes
This trial studies whether using a heart CT “calcium score” to guide prevention can lower the chance of major heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes who have other heart risk factors. It may help by targeting prevention more personally, based on your calcium score.
YilanAges 40 years+ - NCT05289310Recruiting
Home low-oxygen nights to study weight and health
This study looks at whether spending 8 hours each night in a low-oxygen tent for 8 weeks affects weight and related health in people with obesity. It also checks safety by monitoring oxygen levels and screening for breathing and heart-related conditions.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 22–65 - NCT05288842Recruiting
Study spinal fluid and brain changes in dementia types
This study looks at spinal fluid and MRI results in people with Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, or normal thinking (controls). It aims to understand differences in brain-related cells and measure what might help explain or track these conditions.
LilleAges 40–85 - NCT05284006Recruiting
Non-invasive tests for Morquio A
This trial studies Morquio A (MPS IVA) using non-invasive ways to measure how the body is working, and to better understand why the condition happens. If you have Morquio A, this may help researchers learn more and improve care.
