Study of mitochondrial muscle diseases over time
This natural history study follows children and adults with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial myopathy to better understand symptoms and how the condition changes. It may also include healthy participants to compare test results and improve future treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–100 years - NCT05254782Recruiting
Blood test after lung tumor surgery to find hidden disease
This study uses a special blood test to look for tiny traces of lung cancer after surgery. It aims to find “minimal residual disease,” meaning cancer cells that may still be hiding after your tumor is removed.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05255302RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Shorter immune maintenance for stage IV lung cancer after initial treatment
This trial tests whether giving immune therapy maintenance for a shorter time helps people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are doing well after initial chemo-immunotherapy. It aims to keep the cancer controlled while possibly reducing treatment exposure and side effects.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18–74 - NCT05257629RecruitingPhase 3
Aggressive smoking quit program after heart problems
This trial tests whether a strong quit plan using varenicline (a quit pill) plus nicotine e-cigarettes, along with counseling, helps people stop smoking after a recent heart-related event. It’s aimed at people who want to quit and can safely stay involved for about a year.
New Westminster, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05257967Recruiting
Testing spinal fluid in EGFR-mutant lung cancer with brain covering spread
This trial looks at spinal fluid (also called CSF) in adults with EGFR-mutant lung cancer that has spread to the lining around the brain/spinal cord. The goal is to better understand the disease and what the spinal fluid tests may show to guide care.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05258981Recruiting
MRI and testing study linking genes and thinking in adults
This study looks at how patterns on brain MRI scans and genes relate to thinking and test performance in adults. It may help researchers better understand long-term brain and cognitive outcomes and how they differ between people with specific early-life heart conditions and healthy controls.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 24–35 - NCT05258448Recruiting
Chemo-radiotherapy for advanced, non-surgical lung cancer
This trial studies treatment that combines chemotherapy and radiation for people with advanced lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It may help improve cure chances for patients who can complete the study tests, including heart scans.
Odense CAges 18 years+ - NCT05260177Recruiting
40 Hz light therapy for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s
This study tests whether a non-invasive 40 Hz light therapy system can help people with early Alzheimer’s. You’ll likely use the device at home and wear a small activity monitor, while doing memory and thinking tests.
