  This study tests whether a new asthma self-management program helps adults in Ireland manage their symptoms better.

  Recruiting Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland · Dublin, D · NCT07609134

• Reducing routine hospital follow-up visits after curative breast cancer treatment

  This project tries a simpler follow-up plan for women doing well two years after curative breast cancer treatment to see if they can stop in-person clinic visits while still getting annual mammograms.

  Recruiting Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland · Dublin · NCT07572370

• Randomising people with HER2‑positive metastatic breast cancer to routine brain MRI surveillance versus no routine surveillance

  This study will test whether people with HER2‑positive metastatic breast cancer can be successfully recruited and randomized to routine brain MRI checks at 6 and 12 months versus usual care with scans only if neurological symptoms develop.

  Recruiting Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland · Beaumont · NCT07503717

• Mapping tumor DNA in spinal fluid from breast cancer that has spread to the brain

  This project will test whether analyzing tumor DNA in cerebrospinal fluid can reveal genetic changes in people whose breast cancer has spread to the brain or its lining.

  Recruiting Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland · Dublin · NCT07503704

• Best order of mammogram views after breast-conserving surgery

  This test sees if the order in which mammogram views are taken affects pain and satisfaction for women who had breast-conserving surgery within the past five years.

  Recruiting Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland · Beaumont, Dublin · NCT07443579

• Nurse-led pre-op education with direct physiotherapy referral to reduce leakage after prostate removal

  This project sees if a one-to-one nurse-led pre-operative education session plus automatic referral to supervised pelvic floor physiotherapy reduces urinary leakage in men having radical prostatectomy.

  This program will try a six-week occupational therapy group to see if it helps adults with primary brain tumours on active treatment improve daily functioning and quality of life.

  Recruiting Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland · Dublin, Beaumont · NCT07426848

• Closing the hiatus with omentopexy and left-crus fixation during robotic oesophagectomy to prevent para-conduit hernia

  This study will test whether routinely closing the hiatus with omentopexy and fixing the left crus during robotic oesophagectomy reduces para-conduit hernia in adults having surgery for non-metastatic oesophageal cancer.

  Recruiting Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland · Dublin, Beaumont · NCT07426835

• Margin optimisation using real-time 3D tomosynthesis during breast-conserving surgery

  This trial will test whether using a portable 3D tomosynthesis device in the operating room helps surgeons find clear tissue margins during breast-conserving surgery compared with standard 2D specimen mammography.

  Recruiting Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland · Beaumont, Dublin · NCT07426809

• Combining a drug-coated balloon and a drug-eluting stent for people with diabetes and new coronary artery blockages

  This trial tests whether using a drug-coated balloon together with a drug-eluting stent works better than using either device alone for adults with diabetes who have new (de novo) coronary artery lesions.

  Recruiting Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland · Dublin, County Dublin · NCT07303439

• Lung Health Check Pilot

  This pilot tries to see if offering a lung health check—including lung function tests and a low-dose CT scan—can find lung cancer early in people aged 55–74 who currently smoke or used to smoke in Ireland.
