Drug combo before and after transplant for high-risk myeloma
This trial tests a two-step approach for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk multiple myeloma who are eligible for a stem cell transplant.

Study immune-web changes in ER+ breast cancer on tamoxifen
This trial studies how the immune system forms “neutrophil extracellular traps” (immune web material) in people with ER-positive breast cancer who take tamoxifen. It aims to understand whether tamoxifen changes this immune activity over time, which may help explain how it works.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01624805RecruitingPhase 2

What taking part in a cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
