This study is testing a new gel called SpaceIT that is placed between the prostate and rectum before radiation therapy for prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this gel safely creates space to protect the rectum from radiation damage, potentially reducing side effects. It is be…

This study is testing whether a special balloon coated with a drug (paclitaxel) works better than a standard balloon to treat arteries that have narrowed again after a previous stent placement. About 600 patients with this condition, called in-stent restenosis, will be randomly a…

This study is collecting real-world information about how well the FARAPULSE pulsed field ablation system works for treating atrial fibrillation. Researchers are following about 1,173 patients across Europe who receive this treatment as part of their normal hospital care. The goa…

This study is tracking the long-term safety and effectiveness of the FARAPULSE pulsed field ablation system, a medical device that treats paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). Researchers are following 228 patients who have undergone this procedure to se…

This study is testing whether a new, minimally invasive heart procedure called pulsed field ablation (PFA) works better and is safer than standard anti-arrhythmic drugs as the very first treatment for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib). It will involve about 484 ad…

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 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 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 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 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 pain caused by diabetic nerve damage. Researchers are enrolling 28 people with painful diabetic neuropathy to see how different stimulation settings affect their pain levels. The goal is to find the mos…

This study is testing a special spinal cord stimulator called WaveWriter to see if it can effectively reduce chronic pain. It focuses on a fast-acting setting that works without causing a tingling sensation. The research involves 177 adults with long-term back and limb pain to se…
