Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–89 - NCT00568490Recruiting
Finding blood markers that show low oxygen in tumors
This study looks for substances in blood that may reflect how “low-oxygen” a tumor is. If you have head and neck cancer or non-small cell lung cancer, it may help researchers understand tumor oxygen levels and improve future care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07359690Recruiting
Study of Heart Muscle Biopsies
This study collects samples of heart muscle tissue (biopsy) to better understand heart conditions. It is for people who already need this biopsy for their healthcare.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07373288Recruiting
HOXB7 and lung markers in pulmonary fibrosis
This study looks at a protein called HOXB7 and other markers in lung tissue and blood to better understand pulmonary fibrosis. It may help researchers find new ways to diagnose or treat the disease.
ModenaAges 18–80 - NCT07392580RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo injection before surgery for recurrent throat cancer
This trial tests injecting a chemotherapy drug (cisplatin with epinephrine) directly into throat tumors, given once a week for 3 weeks before planned surgery. It is for people whose throat cancer has come back after radiation and who need surgery to remove it.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT01416714Recruiting
Tissue sample collection during cancer surgery or biopsy
This study is collecting tissue samples from people with certain cancers while they have surgery or a biopsy. It may help researchers learn more about these cancers and improve future diagnosis and treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT00900198Recruiting
Give cancer tissue samples to help future cancer research
This study collects tissue or other cancer-related samples to help researchers better understand cancer and develop better tests or treatments. You can join if you are being evaluated for or treated for cancer, and you agree to let your samples be used for research.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 2 months+ - NCT01893710Recruiting
Collecting children and adult belly fluid and tissue for kidney care research
This study collects samples from the belly (related to the peritoneal lining) to build a “biobank” for future research. It may help patients and families by improving understanding of kidney disease and kidney dialysis-related health issues.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 day–90 years - NCT01980264Recruiting
Optical skin exam to help detect melanoma and skin cancers
This trial tests an at-home/clinic skin-scanning method (using light) to look for signs of melanoma, basal cell cancer, or squamous cell cancer. You may be able to help researchers see whether this non-invasive “virtual biopsy” can guide diagnosis, especially in people with different skin types.
TaipeiAges 18–90 - NCT01209000Recruiting
Study for children with new kidney protein loss
This study is for children (and some newly diagnosed patients) who have nephrotic syndrome—kidneys leaking a lot of protein. It aims to better understand the kidney condition (sometimes using biopsy) and support future care decisions.
