Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–69 - NCT05027945RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant for people with VEXAS syndrome
This Phase 2 trial tests whether an allogeneic stem cell transplant (from a donor) can treat VEXAS syndrome. It may help calm the body’s overactive inflammation and improve symptoms in eligible adults.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT06041503RecruitingPhase 2
Treating rare bladder and testicular cancers with targeted therapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) for people with certain rare cancers of the urinary tract or testicles. The goal is to see if these treatments can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04222413RecruitingPhase 1
Study of metarrestin for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called metarrestin for people with solid tumors that have spread or come back after standard treatment. It may help by targeting a protein involved in cancer cell growth.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - NCT06317649RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax with hypomethylating agents for older or unfit adults with FLT3-mutated AML
This trial tests a combination of medicines (venetoclax and a hypomethylating agent) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have a FLT3 mutation. It may be an option for older adults or those who cannot tolerate intensive chemotherapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05588128Recruiting
Scan study for prostate cancer after PSA comes back
This study follows people with prostate cancer whose PSA blood test has risen again after standard treatment. It uses an approved PET scan tracer to look for cancer spread, which may help doctors understand how the disease is progressing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00102544Enrolling by invitation
Tracking Devices to Find Abnormalities During Medical Procedures
This study tests technology that uses imaging scans to help doctors locate and reach abnormalities during surgical or interventional procedures. The goal is to make these image-guided procedures more accurate and safer for patients.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04431024Recruiting
Testing imaging and biopsy options for people with BAP1 risk
This study looks at how well advanced scans, liquid biopsy tests, and small follow-up procedures can find early mesothelioma in people with a high-risk BAP1 gene condition. It may help catch cancer earlier when treatment could work better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 30–120 - NCT01212055Recruiting
Apheresis for certain immune system gene problems
This trial studies whether an apheresis procedure (removing blood cells through a machine) can help people with specific inherited immune system conditions. Participants will also receive filgrastim to help move certain blood-forming cells for collection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–40 - NCT03190941RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T-cell therapy for HLA-A11:01 and KRAS G12V tumors
This trial tests a custom immune-cell treatment made from your blood that targets the KRAS G12V change in certain cancers. It is for people with advanced cancer who have already tried standard treatments, and it may help your immune system recognize and attack tumor cells.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT03226704Enrolling by invitation
Leukapheresis to prepare CAR cell therapy
This trial collects white blood cells through a procedure called leukapheresis to help make CAR or other adoptive cell therapies. It’s for people with certain cancers who are not in remission (or are at high risk of relapse) and can meet health and lab requirements.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–65 - NCT01676805Recruiting
Collecting tissue samples for lymphoma research
This study collects leftover tissue samples from patients with or without lymphoma to help researchers better understand lymph system cancers. It may be an option if you are already having a biopsy or surgery.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01861106RecruitingPhase 2
Bone marrow transplant for GATA2 mutations
This trial tests a bone marrow transplant (called allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant) as a treatment for people with GATA2 mutations or MonoMAC. The goal is to replace faulty immune cells with healthy donor cells, which may reduce infections and improve immune function.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6–70 - NCT02133196RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell treatment for lung cancer that has spread
This Phase 2 study tests a T-cell–based immunotherapy for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite prior treatment. It may help your immune system recognize and fight your cancer using cells made from your tumor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT02154022Enrolling by invitation
Testing extra blood samples in patients with unexpected drug effects
This study collects extra lab samples from people already taking experimental or approved cancer treatments at NIH. It helps researchers understand why you may be having an unexpected response or side effects, and whether drug levels in the body might be the cause.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT05440617Recruiting
Biobank for people having testicle-protecting cancer treatment
This study collects and stores biological samples from people who are planning to undergo OTC, a treatment used to help protect fertility during cancer therapy that can harm reproductive cells. It may help future research by providing researchers with tissue/blood samples linked to this treatment.
