Transplant from a half-matched donor for aggressive sickle cell
This Phase 2 study tests a “half-matched” stem cell transplant to treat people with aggressive sickle cell disease. It may help by replacing the blood system using stem cells from a related donor who is close but not fully matched.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 16–60 - NCT03295279Enrolling by invitation
Use of chest CT scans from WTC Health Plan participants
This study creates a research archive of chest CT scan images from people enrolled in the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Plan program at Mount Sinai. It may help doctors and researchers better understand and track chest health over time using existing scan images.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03044847Enrolling by invitation
Long-term study of COPD in adults in China
This study follows people with COPD (chronic lung disease) over many years to better understand the condition. It may help doctors learn what factors predict worsening over time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–75 - NCT03032835Recruiting
Research study for calciphylaxis skin lesions
This study collects and stores information from people with calciphylaxis, a serious condition that causes painful skin lesions. It may help researchers learn more about the disease and improve future care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02830308Recruiting
Adult study evaluating endocrine and metabolic health
This trial enrolls adults with known or suspected hormone (endocrine) or metabolism-related conditions for clinical evaluation. The goal is to help doctors assess and better understand what’s causing these health problems.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02771236Recruiting
Study of inherited eye conditions in families
This study looks at families who have inherited (passed down) eye conditions, using eye exams and blood tests. It may help researchers understand what causes these conditions and find better ways to diagnose them.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 4–120 - NCT02824471Recruiting
Testing a chip technology for sickle cell samples
This trial tests a “biochip” device using samples from people with sickle cell disease. If it works, it may help doctors study sickle cell biology more accurately using patient samples.
Cleveland, OhioAges 12 years+ - NCT02725060Enrolling by invitation
Study of autoimmune changes in postural tachycardia syndrome
This trial studies whether an autoimmune (immune system–related) process is involved in postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a condition where your heart rate rises when you stand. The study may help researchers understand what causes POTS and how it could be treated or monitored.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–50 - NCT02699736Enrolling by invitation
HIV and hepatitis C study in European adults
This study follows people living with HIV who also have hepatitis C antibodies, to better understand how HIV and hepatitis C affect health over time. You may be able to join if you meet the age and enrollment requirements, even if your hepatitis C virus level is currently undetectable.
Buenos AiresAges 16 years+ - NCT02675959RecruitingPhase 2
Transplant with defibrotide for sickle cell disease
This trial tests a stem cell transplant from a half-matched donor using a strong conditioning regimen and a drug called defibrotide to protect organs. It aims to cure sickle cell disease in patients who have had serious complications like stroke, chest syndrome, or frequent pain episodes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–21 years - NCT02993796Recruiting
