Middletown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT03472157Recruiting
Bariatric surgery for severe NASH with advanced liver scarring
This study tests whether bariatric surgery (either sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) improves severe nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with advanced liver scarring in people who are obese. You may also need liver biopsies to confirm your liver disease before and after treatment.
LilleAges 18–65 - NCT03514368Recruiting
Testing immune markers to track cancer treatment safety and benefit
This study collects blood and tumor samples to understand how well cancer immunotherapy works and what side effects may happen. It mainly helps researchers by checking “immune markers” before treatment starts, while you receive planned immune checkpoint therapy.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT03191149RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib for lung cancer with an EGFR exon 20 change
This Phase 2 study tests osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have an EGFR exon 20 insertion. It aims to see how well osimertinib works for this specific EGFR mutation and how safe it is.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT03179540Recruiting
Watch-and-wait treatment after rectal cancer radiation
This trial looks at a “non-surgery” approach for some people with locally advanced rectal cancer who respond very well to radiation plus chemotherapy. If your cancer shows a complete clinical response on follow-up checks, the study may help you avoid an immediate major operation while closely monitoring you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03042221Recruiting
Early re-biopsy to find why tumors survive targeted drugs
This study takes a small tumor sample early after starting targeted treatment (or uses blood if a biopsy isn’t possible) to look for clues—called biomarkers—about why some tumor cells survive. The results may help improve how future patients’ treatments are chosen for certain lung cancer gene mutations.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT03291652Recruiting
Imaging study of high-risk brain plaque in stroke
This study uses MRI and ultrasound to look closely at brain artery plaques that may release clots and cause stroke. It aims to better understand which plaque features signal higher “embolus” risk, which could guide future care.
Hong KongAges 30–85 - NCT03221335Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided heat treatment for certain abdominal tumors
This trial studies using a camera-guided, ultrasound-guided heat procedure to treat solid tumors in the stomach, liver, kidney, or adrenal glands. It may help people who cannot safely have surgery, or who prefer a non-surgical option.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT03135327Recruiting
Eye scans study to compare brain and eye health
This study uses detailed eye imaging to look for patterns that may go along with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, memory problems, multiple sclerosis, or eye/vascular issues. It may help researchers better understand how eye findings relate to health and disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT03056794Recruiting
Study of genetic and natural history of PDC deficiency
This study looks at how pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiency affects people over time and what genes are involved. It mainly helps by building genetic and health data, which may improve future care and understanding of the condition.
