Check colorectal cancer blood tests after curative treatment
This study measures “minimal residual disease,” meaning tiny amounts of cancer that may remain after surgery, using blood samples. It may help doctors better detect who is at higher risk of cancer coming back and guide follow-up care.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04750551Recruiting
Breathing stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This trial studies a breathing-related stimulation method (called BreEStim) to help improve arm and hand movement after stroke. It may help people who still have muscle stiffness in the hand and arm months after a stroke.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04755699RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Electrical stimulation study for hand or limb movement recovery
This early-stage study tests whether regular, skin-based electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis or weakness regain movement. You would attend frequent clinic sessions for months, while the team checks your ability to follow instructions and your safety.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT04692324Recruiting
Test spinal fluid tests to help identify brain tumor types
This study looks at spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) to find markers that may signal a brain or spinal tumor or related abnormal growth. If you have a suspected tumor near the CSF spaces, these results may help doctors better classify what’s going on.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT04732065RecruitingPhase 1
ONC206 for certain brain tumors in children and young adults
This Phase 1 study tests ONC206, a new targeted medicine, for diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) with a specific gene change (H3K27 altered) and for some other recurrent brain/spinal cord cancers. It is designed to find the right dose and see whether it can control or shrink tumors after initial treatment or when the cancer returns.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–21 - NCT04721652Recruiting
Track drinking and recovery after hemodialysis sessions
This study looks at how fluid intake after each hemodialysis treatment affects your health. It may help find safer, easier guidance on how much to drink between treatments.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04743765Recruiting
Faster hip fracture care for people with heart stress signs
This study looks at an “accelerated” hospital plan to get surgery and treatment started sooner for some people with a hip fracture who also show signs of heart stress in blood tests. It may help reduce delays and improve safety during urgent hip fracture care.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 45 years+ - NCT04629053Recruiting
Study of fever causes and outcomes in rural clinics
This study looks at why people develop fever and what outcomes they have after they are seen in rural health facilities. It may help improve how clinics recognize and manage fever illnesses.
DhakaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT04631042Recruiting
Study how the brain relates to impulsivity and compulsivity
This study looks at how brain function and structure relate to impulsive and compulsive behaviors. It may help researchers understand what drives these behaviors and who may benefit from future mental health treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6–80 - NCT04665388Recruiting
Mapping immune responses in people with certain virus-related cancers
This study collects blood and/or tumor-related samples to map how your immune system recognizes cancer. It aims to better understand immune targets and immune cell types, which may help guide future cancer treatments for certain virus-related cancers.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04629677Recruiting
Portal vein stent for narrowed portal blood vessels
This trial looks at whether placing a small metal stent in the portal vein and nearby veins can improve problems caused by major narrowing (or clotting) of these vessels in people with gastrointestinal cancers. If you have significant vessel narrowing, the study may offer a targeted way to relieve pressure and symptoms that are not caused by the tumor directly.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04676100Enrolling by invitation
International registry for cardiac rehabilitation programs
This study collects information about cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs in lower-resource areas. It helps improve how CR is delivered and understood, especially where healthcare resources and awareness are limited.
DohaAges 18 years+ - NCT04676347Recruiting
Study of care quality in semi-intensive hospital units
This study looks at how health care is delivered in semi-intensive care units. It may help improve hospital care for people who are treated in these units, though it likely does not test a specific medicine.
Milan, MilanAges Any age - NCT04661137RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for multiple myeloma that has stopped responding
This study tests a new combination of drugs for people with multiple myeloma that has stopped responding to previous treatments. The goal is to see if adding selinexor to other anti-myeloma drugs can help control the disease.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04644952Recruiting
