Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–85 - NCT00587314Enrolling by invitation
Testing ablation treatment for Barrett’s with precancer changes
This trial studies whether an “ablation” procedure (destroying abnormal esophagus lining) works well for people with Barrett’s esophagus that has high-grade precancer changes or very early cancer. It may help find safer or more effective ways to prevent the condition from worsening.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT01728402Enrolling by invitation
Study of the causes of certain blood cancers
This study looks at what leads to specific blood cancers and related blood disorders. If you have one of the listed conditions (or are being evaluated for it), you may be asked to join research that helps doctors understand why these illnesses happen.
Portland, OregonAges 1 year+ - NCT07405476RecruitingPhase 2
Zanidatamab before surgery for HER2 positive colon or rectal cancer
This trial tests if the drug zanidatamab, given before surgery, can help treat colon or rectal cancer that has a specific marker called HER2. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07418125Recruiting
Study of tumor cell clusters in high-risk early breast cancer
This trial looks at whether clusters of tumor cells in the blood can give more information about high-risk early breast cancer. It is for people with certain types of breast cancer who are about to start treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy).
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07419932Recruiting
Pre-surgery treatment for advanced thyroid cancer
This study tests whether giving treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) helps people with locally advanced thyroid cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor so surgery can be more successful.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 14–80 - NCT07420543Recruiting
Liquid biopsy during brain tumor surgery with 5-ALA
This trial is studying whether a 'liquid biopsy' (a blood test) can help guide brain tumor surgery. It uses a special dye called 5-ALA to help surgeons see the tumor during surgery, and researchers will look for tumor DNA in the blood to see if it matches what is found in the tumor.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07424469Recruiting
Leaks in the esophagus or stomach: microbiome role
This study looks at the role of tiny organisms (the microbiome) in leaks from the esophagus or stomach. Researchers will take small tissue samples to learn more about these leaks and how to treat them better.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07447076RecruitingPhase 2
New treatments for recurrent ATRT brain tumor
This trial tests new treatments for children and young adults whose ATRT brain tumor has come back or grown. It aims to find if these therapies can help control the tumor.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1–39 - NCT07448896Recruiting
Studying immune cells in stomach tissue after weight loss surgery
This study looks at how certain immune cells (mast cells and macrophages) and small blood vessels change in the stomach tissue of people who have weight loss surgery. It may help researchers better understand how the body responds to surgery and weight loss.
Alexandria, Alexandria GovernorateAges Any age - NCT07450612Recruiting
Blood test and AI for early colorectal cancer detection
