Study of liver disease and genes in people with fatty liver
This study collects information about metabolic and unexplained (cryptogenic) liver disease and looks at “omics” tests, which are lab tests that measure patterns in blood or tissue to learn what drives the disease. It may help researchers better understand fatty liver and related serious complications, like liver scarring and liver cancer.
Roma, Rome/lazio/italyAges 18 years+ - NCT04407780Recruiting
Cardio-oncology patient registry
This is a registry (a research database) for people who are being followed in cardio-oncology, which means care for heart problems related to cancer or cancer treatments. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future care.

Mediterranean diet program for young children at risk of obesity
This trial tests whether a Mediterranean-style eating pattern can help prevent weight problems in young children who are at higher risk. It’s meant for children with normal weight or mild overweight and whose parents have higher body weight, without other medical reasons for weight gain.
CórdobaAges 3–7 - NCT04604626Recruiting
Study rare obesity linked to eating and brain conditions
This study aims to improve diagnosis and treatment planning for people with severe obesity—especially when it may be related to a genetic cause or a brain condition affecting appetite. You may be invited if your case includes clues from your history or symptoms, and you can consent to genetic testing discussions as part of usual care.

Study of neck anatomy in thyroid surgery
This study looks at how the structures in the neck affect thyroid surgery outcomes. You may be asked about your diagnosis and pre-surgery neck imaging to better understand surgical safety for people with certain thyroid conditions.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT04699734Recruiting
Nerve block for nerve pain from diabetes
This trial studies whether a numbing “nerve block” can reduce long-lasting nerve pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. You may keep your usual pain medicines, and the study will mainly check whether you fit the safety and diagnosis criteria.
Aarhus N, JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT03716401Recruiting
Imaging tests to predict kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
TurkuAges 18–80 - NCT04710797Recruiting
Lymph node surgery for early-stage ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether removing (dissecting) lymph nodes during surgery can improve care for people with early-stage ovarian cancer that still needs chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have certain ovarian cancer types and your scans and surgery do not show clearly suspicious lymph nodes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04781790Recruiting
Registry for bone marrow failure patients
This study is a national registry that collects health information and some blood or tissue samples from people diagnosed with bone marrow failure. It helps researchers understand causes and long-term outcomes, and may improve care by building a large patient database.
ParisAges Any age - NCT04714957Recruiting
Personalized study for cancer spread in the belly lining
This trial studies people whose cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (the “belly lining”), including cancers from the digestive tract or ovaries. You may be asked to join because the study aims to learn how to better match care to different patterns of this belly lining cancer spread.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT04661449Recruiting
Lifestyle program for babies born larger than expected
This trial looks at whether a structured lifestyle program improves health and development outcomes for babies who were born larger than expected (large-for-gestational-age). If you qualify, the study may guide caregiver and family habits to support your child’s early outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1 day–1 month - NCT01604395Recruiting
