Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03670966RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted iodine therapy, then donor transplant for hard leukemias
This trial tests an antibody-linked radioactive iodine treatment, followed by a donor stem cell transplant, for people with relapsed or refractory high-risk acute leukemia or certain MDS. It may help patients by targeting leukemia cells and then using a new immune system to control the disease.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–75 - NCT03683680Recruiting
Collecting pleural tissue samples to study mesothelioma markers
This study collects tissue samples (from the lining around the lung) from adults with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Researchers will use these samples to check whether certain test markers can predict how the disease may behave, which could guide treatment decisions in the future.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03702309Recruiting
Banking and testing blood samples to study cancer
This study collects blood samples to “test and store” (bank) information that may help doctors understand cancer in the future. You might be able to join if you’re an adult with confirmed cancer or a higher-than-usual risk for cancer.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03716401Recruiting
Imaging tests to predict kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
TurkuAges 18–80 - NCT03719547Recruiting
Robot surgery for certain early cervical cancer cases
This trial studies whether robot-assisted surgery can be used safely and effectively for certain early-stage cervical cancers. It may help by using a precise surgical approach to remove the cancer while matching standard care for eligible patients.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT03758976Recruiting
Study of scans in advanced breast cancer recurrence
This study looks at people with advanced breast cancer to better understand recurrence by using information from recent scans. It may help researchers improve how advanced disease is assessed and followed over time.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT03773887Recruiting
Study of liver inflammation and healing in alcohol-related liver disease
This study compares patterns of liver inflammation and the liver’s healing ability in people with alcohol-related liver disease, using blood tests and (in most cases) a liver tissue sample. It may help doctors better understand what is happening in the liver and how it may recover.
LilleAges 18–70 - NCT03806283Recruiting
Study how pregnancy blood vessels change in late pregnancy
This study looks at how blood vessels adapt during late pregnancy, especially around the time of a C-section. Your participation may help researchers understand normal pregnancy changes and how they differ in certain complications.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–40 - NCT03809728Recruiting
Finding blood tests linked to outcomes in Crohn’s and colitis
This study looks for “biomarkers” (lab markers, like substances in blood or tissue) that may predict how Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis will go and how patients may respond. It may help doctors choose better monitoring or treatments in the future.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT03841981Recruiting
Body fat and female hormone function study
This study looks at how body fat and exercise relate to how your ovaries work and how your hormones function. It may help explain why some women have irregular ovulation or hormone problems, and how lifestyle factors affect them.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–40 - NCT03844399Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging during liver or kidney procedures
This study uses a new 3D ultrasound scan while you get standard care for a liver or kidney biopsy or ablation. The goal is to see whether the imaging is clear and useful during these procedures.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03869554Recruiting
Screening for Fabry disease in people with kidney biopsy results
This study tests a screening approach to find Fabry disease in adults whose kidney biopsy findings are unclear or suggest certain kidney patterns. If Fabry disease is missed, it can delay targeted treatment, so screening may help identify people who could benefit from earlier care.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT03922893Recruiting
Finding inherited cancer gene markers in at-risk families
This study looks at DNA (genetic information) from people and families who may have an inherited risk for cancer. It aims to find new genetic markers that can help explain cancer risk and guide future care.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT03929887Recruiting
Kidney biopsy patients join a kidney tissue research bank
This study builds a kidney tissue “library” to help researchers analyze kidney disease in newer ways. It may help by improving how glomerular (kidney filter) diseases are understood over time, using samples from people who already had a biopsy.
ChuncheonAges Any age - NCT03933670RecruitingPhase 2
MRI scan with special sugar to monitor prostate cancer on surveillance
This study uses a special MRI scan using “hyperpolarized” labeled pyruvate (a sugar-like substance) to see how prostate cancer may be behaving in people who are on active surveillance. It may help researchers monitor cancer without immediate treatment, by spotting changes earlier.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03952637RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for GM1 disease with IV delivery
This early-stage study tests an IV gene therapy that delivers a working copy of an enzyme gene to help the body make beta-galactosidase in GM1 gangliosidosis. It may help slow or improve disease symptoms and looks closely at safety and how well the treatment works.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–12 years - NCT03958240Recruiting
Study how cancers trigger the immune system
This study looks at what makes some cancers more “noticeable” to the immune system. It may help researchers design better future immunotherapy by collecting information (often including blood samples) from people with different cancers.
