This trial tests a computer-assisted vacuum device to remove blood clots from the lungs of people with cancer. It aims to see if this procedure is safe and improves quality of life for those with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07734298Recruiting
Ultrasound vs. scope for swallowing problems after ICU breathing tube
This study compares two ways to check swallowing after a breathing tube is removed in the ICU: one uses an ultrasound machine, the other uses a small camera through the nose. If you qualify, you may help doctors find the best method to spot swallowing issues early.
Querétaro City, QuerétaroAges 18 years+ - NCT05828069RecruitingPhase 2
Tovorafenib for young people with worsening Langerhans cell histiocytosis
This Phase 2 trial tests tovorafenib (DAY101) to treat children and young people whose Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is getting worse, came back, or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help by targeting certain gene changes found in the LCH.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 6 months–22 years - NCT04840602RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus rituximab versus standard Waldenstrom treatment
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax to rituximab works better than standard treatment options for Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM). It’s for adults whose WM needs treatment and who meet specific blood, organ, infection, and medication safety requirements.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06763341RecruitingPhase 1
AOH1996 for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new drug, AOH1996, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if this drug is safe and helps control the leukemia.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03816319RecruitingPhase 1
TAK-243 for leukemia or MDS that has returned or not improved
This trial tests a new drug called TAK-243 in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome with increased blasts (MDS-IB) that has come back or hasn't gotten better after treatment. The goal is to see if TAK-243 can help when other options have stopped working.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07350499Recruiting
Using Symphony or Prodigy to remove blood clots
This study tests how well the Symphony or Prodigy system works for removing blood clots from arteries or veins. You may qualify if you are 18 or older and scheduled for a procedure that uses one of these devices.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07101809Recruiting
Comparing two ways to remove kidney stones
This study compares a standard kidney stone removal procedure (ureteroscopy with laser) to a newer suction-based technology. If you have a kidney stone that needs surgery, this trial may help your doctor find the best way to remove it.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03959085RecruitingPhase 3
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for high-risk childhood leukemia
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding inotuzumab to standard post-induction chemotherapy improves outcomes for children and young teens with high-risk B-ALL, mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or certain high-risk B-LLy. It may help by targeting leukemia cells more directly, but participation depends on specific age, lab results, and medical history rules.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 months–25 years - NCT03779854RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing graft-versus-host disease in kids after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether removing certain immune cells (T cells) from the donor transplant can lower the risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease (long-term immune attack after transplant) in children and young adults with blood cancers. If you qualify, it may help improve transplant outcomes while tracking safety and side effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–26 years - NCT03017820RecruitingPhase 1
