New York, New YorkAges 2 years+ - NCT03781752RecruitingPhase 4
Test of methylphenidate effects based on a genetic difference
This trial studies whether a genetic difference called “carboxylesterase 1” changes how methylphenidate (a common ADHD medicine) works for children with ADHD. It’s a single-dose test, meant to help understand why some children respond differently to ADHD medication.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 6–17 - NCT03805919Recruiting
Study for men with high inherited risk of prostate cancer
This study is for men who have a known inherited gene change that raises their prostate cancer risk. It aims to help prevent or detect prostate cancer earlier, and you may be asked to undergo MRI and other study steps.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 30–75 - NCT03828773Recruiting
Azole antifungal prevention for leukemia during low white blood counts
This trial tests whether using a targeted antifungal medicine (aimed at PTX3) can better prevent serious fungal infections in adults with AML or a related bone marrow disease who will have very low neutrophils. It may help lower the risk of dangerous infections during intensive chemotherapy hospital stays.
Ghent, BelgiumAges 18 years+ - NCT03855657Recruiting
Biobank study of gut microbes, genes, and blood chemistry
This study collects samples to learn how gut microbes, genetics, and body chemistry may relate to Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Your information and samples may help researchers understand disease patterns, but it does not test a new drug.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT03922893Recruiting
Finding inherited cancer gene markers in at-risk families
This study looks at DNA (genetic information) from people and families who may have an inherited risk for cancer. It aims to find new genetic markers that can help explain cancer risk and guide future care.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT03931707Recruiting
Genetic study of newborns in China
This study collects genetic information from very young newborns to better understand early-life health. Your child’s information may help researchers learn about genetics and future research.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT03987633Recruiting
Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT04006535Recruiting
Genetic testing study for vasculitis in families and children
This study uses a detailed DNA test to look for possible genetic causes of vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) in children and adults. It may help researchers better understand why vasculitis happens, especially in families.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges Any age - NCT04024774Recruiting
Genetic testing study for rare diseases with an unclear cause
This study looks for a genetic (DNA) explanation for rare diseases when usual genetic testing hasn’t found an answer. It may help by re-analyzing prior results and comparing them with parents’ DNA to better pinpoint the cause.
DijonAges Any age - NCT04106518Recruiting
Genetics study of alcohol-related liver disease and cirrhosis
This study looks at genetic differences in people with alcohol-related liver illness, including a recent jaundice episode (alcoholic hepatitis). By following people over time, it may help doctors better predict illness and understand why some people develop worse liver problems.
