OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05035147RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin-bound paclitaxel plus gemcitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies a chemotherapy combination (albumin-bound paclitaxel and gemcitabine) as first treatment for pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to improve outcomes by testing how well this treatment works in people with locally advanced or metastatic disease.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04722900Recruiting
Study of children born to mothers with gestational diabetes
This study looks at children whose mothers did or did not have gestational diabetes during pregnancy. It will help researchers understand possible differences in children and how pregnancy diabetes may affect them.
TübingenAges 6–17 - NCT04922892Recruiting
Compare two parathyroid surgeries for severe kidney-related hormone imbalance
This trial compares two surgical approaches for severe secondary hyperparathyroidism caused by kidney disease: removing all parathyroid tissue alone versus removing it and moving some tissue back into the body. The study aims to see which approach works better and is safer for controlling the hormone problem.
NanjingAges 18–70 - NCT03784651Recruiting
How breast cancer treatment changes metabolism and bone
This study looks at how standard breast cancer treatments affect your body’s metabolism and bones in postmenopausal people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better predict and prevent bone and metabolic side effects from treatment.
Copenhagen, DanmarkAges 50–70 - NCT03755193RecruitingPhase 2
Testing another osteoporosis medicine after 2 years of denosumab
This study looks at how well and how safely another osteoporosis medicine works for people who have already taken denosumab for 2 years. It may help find the best next step to strengthen bones and lower fracture risk after denosumab.
Matsumoto, NaganoAges 20–120 - NCT02958020Recruiting
Osteoporosis study for adults age 45 to 79
This study collects health information to learn more about osteoporosis and who is most at risk. It may help researchers better understand prevention and early detection, based on your survey responses and basic health details.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 45–79 - NCT04889053Recruiting
CT heart scan study in adults with type 2 diabetes
This trial uses a low-dose CT scan of the heart’s arteries to measure coronary artery calcification in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand heart calcium buildup and may help improve risk assessment for people with diabetes.
HengyangAges 18 years+ - NCT05101304Recruiting
European registry for people with amyloidosis
This study collects health information from people who may have amyloidosis or who already have a confirmed diagnosis. It aims to better understand amyloidosis in real-world care across European centers, which can help future patients and treatments.
