Overnight feeding to improve sleep in ICU heart surgery patients
This trial studies whether planned overnight nutrition (through a feeding tube) can reduce sleep problems and daily body-clock disruption while you’re in the ICU after certain heart surgery. It may help you get more restful sleep and better regular “wake–sleep” timing during recovery.

Kidney Transplant Access for Obese Dialysis Patients
This study looks at whether obese patients who are starting dialysis can safely receive kidney transplants. Researchers want to understand how weight affects transplant success and access to this life-changing treatment.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04730622Recruiting
Studying muscle and bone changes after a hip fracture
This study looks at how bone health and muscle strength (“osteosarcopenia” — loss of both bone and muscle) change after a hip fracture in older adults. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and how to better support recovery after hip surgery.
BolognaAges 65 years+ - NCT04742608Recruiting
Liquid blood tests to diagnose thyroid nodules or cancer
This study tests whether a blood “liquid biopsy” can help diagnose thyroid cancer or hard-to-tell thyroid nodules without needing extra procedures. It may help confirm what’s going on before or around planned thyroid surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04715399Recruiting
Research study collecting data for neurodegenerative diseases
This study collects health information from people with neurodegenerative diseases, some family members, and healthy controls to help researchers better understand these conditions. It may help future diagnosis and research, and participation may include noninvasive checks and other procedures depending on your situation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04706481Recruiting
Use of stored, de-identified samples for research
This trial is for people who already agreed to let researchers use their stored biological samples and medical information that has been removed of personal identifiers. It may help future studies by allowing researchers to analyze existing samples without using new samples from you.
Hong KongAges Any age - NCT04701645RecruitingPhase 1
Microdevice study for advanced ovarian or related cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a tiny implanted device placed in the abdomen to help evaluate or treat advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. If you qualify, you’d also have additional tests and surgery as part of your usual care plan.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04752826RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A new drug combo for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new experimental drug, BI-1808, alone or with an approved cancer drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda). It's for people with advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04641247RecruitingPhase 2
Long-term niraparib follow-up for people already benefiting
This study looks at continuing niraparib for a longer time in people who already finished an earlier niraparib trial and are still benefiting. It may help understand how safe and useful long-term treatment is for you.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04678648RecruitingPhase 1
Testing RSC-1255 in advanced cancers with RAS changes
This early study (Phase 1) tests a new drug, RSC-1255, in people with advanced or metastatic cancers that have RAS mutations. It’s mainly focused on whether the treatment can be given safely and at what dose, and to see if it may shrink tumors.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04680130Enrolling by invitation
Study of brain, genetics, and clinical symptoms in neurodegenerative illness
This study looks at how your symptoms, brain imaging (MRI), and genetic factors relate to neurodegenerative conditions. It may help researchers better understand what causes these illnesses and how to classify them.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 21 years+ - NCT04622423Recruiting
Advanced therapies for colon or pancreas liver metastases
This study tests advanced treatments for cancer that has spread to the liver, either from colon cancer or pancreatic cancer. It may help by targeting liver tumors using treatment plans and, for some participants, liver tissue samples.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04634591Recruiting
Weight-loss surgery study for people with severe obesity
This trial studies bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and how well it helps people reach and keep a healthier weight. You may qualify if you have severe obesity and have not been able to maintain weight loss with other attempts, and if you can safely follow the study plan.
Bialystok, Podlaskie VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT04607096Recruiting
Intermittent fasting to improve insulin in prediabetes or early type 2
This study tests whether intermittent fasting can improve how your body releases and uses insulin if you have prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes. It may help your blood sugar control without using insulin.
BerlinAges 18–70 - NCT04666636RecruitingPhase 2
Test a drug idea to activate fat that burns energy
This Phase 2 study tests whether a medication approach can activate “beige” fat, which may help the body burn more energy. It mainly looks for people with higher body weight and prediabetes who are not on diabetes medicines.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 35–65 - NCT04619836Enrolling by invitation
Study of diabetes care plans and cost-effectiveness
This trial looks at how well a diabetes care plan works and how cost-effective it is for people with type 2 diabetes. You may be included if your diabetes care and self-management are arranged using a specific care-planning approach.
TampereAges 18–90 - NCT04677816RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin D for a better response to chemotherapy
This study tests whether taking high-dose vitamin D before and during chemotherapy helps eliminate more cancer before surgery in people with triple-negative breast cancer who are low in vitamin D.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04636684Recruiting
Study ATTR deposits in the aortic valve
This study looks at how common ATTR-related protein deposits are in the heart valve of people with age-related (degenerative) aortic stenosis. It may help doctors understand how important these deposits are and could guide future treatment decisions.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT04615988Recruiting
Vitamin D levels and hormone side effects from immune cancer therapy
This study looks at whether your blood vitamin D level is linked to hormone-related side effects caused by immune checkpoint cancer drugs. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and how to monitor patients during treatment.
