This study is testing a new two-part heart device system designed to control dangerous, fast heart rhythms. It involves 297 people who are at risk for these rhythms. The main goals are to see if the two implanted devices can communicate successfully and to check if the system is …

This study follows 166 patients for five years to see how well the Superion device works for lumbar spinal stenosis in everyday medical practice. It checks if the device safely reduces leg and buttock pain and improves physical function compared to earlier trial results. The goal…

This study compares two treatments for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It tests whether TheraSphere (tiny radioactive glass beads) works better and is safer than the standard chemoembolization treatment. The trial involves 92 Chinese patients and measures how long…

This early study is testing a new way to treat prostate cancer by delivering tiny radioactive glass beads directly into the tumor's blood supply. The goal is to find the safest and most effective dose of this targeted radiation therapy for men with localized prostate cancer who h…

This study is monitoring how well SYNERGY heart stents work in real-world medical practice in China. It will follow 2,000 adult patients who receive these stents for heart artery blockages for up to 5 years. The goal is to collect safety and effectiveness data after the stents we…

This study compares two approaches for men whose enlarged prostate symptoms aren't controlled by their current medication. One group receives a minimally invasive water vapor treatment, while the other gets a combination of two prescription drugs. Researchers will track symptom i…

This study is testing a special balloon coated with a drug (paclitaxel) to treat arteries that have narrowed again inside an old heart stent, a condition called in-stent restenosis. The balloon is inflated at the narrowed spot to reopen the artery and deliver the drug, which aims…

This study is testing a special balloon catheter coated with a drug (paclitaxel) to see if it can keep narrowed dialysis access points (arteriovenous fistulas) open and working better for longer. It involves 186 adults who need regular hemodialysis and have a specific type of nar…

This study aimed to test a new medical tool designed to help drain blocked bile ducts in people with cancer. The goal was to see if the device was safe and could reliably create an access point for drainage when other procedures had failed or weren't possible. The study was withd…

This study aims to find the safest and most effective medication plan after implanting a device that helps prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation. It compares three different drug approaches: aspirin alone, a low-dose blood thinner, or a two-drug combination. The goal…

This study tested whether gently stimulating a nerve in the neck (the vagus nerve) could help improve the heart's structure and function in people with moderate to severe heart failure. It involved 118 participants who had a weakened heart muscle. The goal was to see if this nerv…

This study aimed to test a new, disposable duodenoscope for ERCP procedures in China. ERCP is a procedure doctors use to diagnose and treat problems in the bile and pancreatic ducts. The goal was to see if this single-use scope could successfully complete procedures without needi…

This study is testing a tiny camera, called a pancreatoscope, used during surgery for a pancreatic growth called IPMN. The goal is to see if this tool helps surgeons find more hidden growths that standard methods might miss. The results will help plan a larger future study to see…

This study is testing whether spinal cord stimulation can help reduce chronic nerve pain in the limbs of people with diabetes. Researchers are measuring how much pain relief participants experience over 12 months and whether they feel their condition has improved. The study invol…
