Imaging Study of Immunosuppression for Progressive Lung Fibrosis
This study uses advanced imaging to see how immunosuppressive medications (like mycophenolate or prednisone) affect lung scarring in patients with certain types of lung fibrosis. You would have imaging scans and breathing tests to track changes over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT04606914RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin plus mirvetuximab for advanced ovarian cancer after chemo
This Phase 2 study tests adding mirvetuximab to carboplatin for people with advanced, high-grade serous ovarian cancer who will first receive “neoadjuvant” chemotherapy. It is designed for tumors that strongly show FRα, which mirvetuximab targets, to see if this improves outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06433011Recruiting
New clot-busting method for pulmonary embolism
This study tests a new way of delivering a clot-dissolving medicine for people with a serious but not immediately life-threatening pulmonary embolism. The goal is to see if giving the medicine as small bursts directly into the clot can help the heart recover faster.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT07564232RecruitingPhase 1
LNK001 for Advanced Kidney Cancer After Prior Treatments
This Phase 1 trial tests a new cell therapy called LNK001 in patients with advanced clear-cell kidney cancer that has progressed despite prior immunotherapy and targeted drugs. The therapy is designed to recognize and attack cancer cells by targeting a protein called CAIX.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT04015609Recruiting
Spanish therapy sessions for Latino people with advanced cancer
This study tests a psychotherapy (talking/support) intervention designed for Latino/Hispanic adults with stage III or IV solid tumor cancer. It uses Spanish-only questionnaires and interviews, and may help by addressing emotional distress during advanced cancer care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04062565RecruitingPhase 3
Testing treprostinil plus riociguat for advanced pulmonary artery hypertension
This study tests whether taking injected treprostinil together with riociguat can improve how the heart and lung blood vessels work in people with advanced pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). It may help improve blood-flow measurements and the structure of the heart.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04072042RecruitingPhase 2
Test a VEGFR2 drug for sarcoma with lung lesions
This Phase 2 study tests a VEGFR2-targeted medicine in people with advanced or metastatic sarcoma whose cancer cannot be fully removed by surgery. It focuses on participants who have lung (pulmonary) lesions and whose prior standard chemotherapy did not work, to see if the biomarker-driven approach can improve outcomes.
