Carotid ultrasound to predict low blood pressure during dialysis
This study looks at whether an ultrasound of the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) can help predict drops in blood pressure during dialysis. It may help doctors find people at risk for low blood pressure during treatment.
Wuhu, Outside of the USAges 18–80 - NCT07034326RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Acupuncture plus immunotherapy after lung cancer surgery
This trial explores whether adding electroacupuncture (a gentle needle treatment with mild electric pulses) to standard immunotherapy after lung cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is designed for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who have already had chemotherapy.
TianjinAges 18–80 - NCT07034391RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 inhibitor with denosumab and chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor), a bone-strengthening drug (denosumab), and chemotherapy for people with advanced or spread non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that does not have certain genetic changes. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and control the disease.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT07035314Recruiting
Comparing medicines for pain after tonsil removal in children
This study compares two ways to manage pain after tonsil removal in children: a medication given by mouth or injection versus a medication applied directly to the surgical site. The goal is to find which approach works better for pain control.
CairoAges 4–10 - NCT07035587Recruiting
A blood test to detect multiple cancers and monitor leftover tumors after treatment
This trial uses a blood test to find early signs of cancer or leftover tumor cells after treatment. It may help people with certain cancers or those with non-cancerous growths understand their condition better.
