Philadephia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04352244Recruiting
Study of brown fat activity in healthy adults
This study measures how “brown fat” works in the body using planned medical procedures. It looks at healthy adults to understand brown fat activity and what affects it.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT03694691Recruiting
Creating a checklist for keeping donated livers viable
This study looks at a way to predict whether a donated liver will work well after being kept alive outside the body (“machine perfused”). It may help doctors choose the best livers and improve transplant outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT05943496RecruitingPhase 1
Tafasitamab plus acalabrutinib and obinutuzumab for untreated CLL/SLL
This Phase 1 study tests a new combination of medicines to treat people whose chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) has not been treated before and needs therapy. It aims to shrink the disease and control it safely in this early testing stage.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06064097RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus chemo for young people with nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests combining the immunotherapy drug nivolumab with standard chemotherapy to treat newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer in children and young adults. The goal is to see if adding this immune-boosting medicine can help shrink tumors and prevent the cancer from coming back.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04114084Recruiting
Sleep apnea study in people with MGUS or multiple myeloma
This study looks at sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in people who have MGUS or multiple myeloma. You may be asked to participate because you already need a bone marrow biopsy as part of your usual care.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT06058663RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation and immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests combining a targeted radiation treatment (radioembolization) with two immunotherapy drugs (tremelimumab and durvalumab) for people with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to shrink tumors and control cancer spread to lymph nodes or one other organ.
