Adenosine has been evaluated in numerous clinical trials spanning Early Phase 1 through Phase 4 across diverse indications, including supraventricular tachycardia, coronary artery disease, ischemia-reperfusion injury, mild persistent asthma, and solid tumors such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and ovarian cancer. Sponsored by academic institutions, medical centers, and pharmaceutical leaders—such as Pfizer, Chiesi Farmaceutici, and Radboud University Medical Center—these studies feature recruitment statuses ranging from active or completed to terminated or not yet recruiting. Key investigative focus areas encompass anti-arrhythmic administration protocols and combination immunotherapeutic strategies targeting adenosine pathways.
