Wisdom Study: Women’s breast cancer screening decisions
This study looks at how to decide the best breast cancer screening (like mammograms) based on your personal risk. It may help by testing a smarter way to match screening to your risk level.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 30–74 - NCT02306200Recruiting
A study to improve heart and aorta health
This trial looks at ways to improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health, especially conditions that affect the aorta, such as aneurysms, or vascular problems that may run in families. If you have an aortic-related or other cardiovascular diagnosis (or you’re a healthy comparison participant), you may be invited to take part in this health-improvement program.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges Any age - NCT02422641RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose methotrexate for breast cancer in the brain lining
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving high-dose methotrexate into the bloodstream can help treat breast cancer that has spread to the thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord. It may help reduce cancer in the leptomeningeal (brain-lining) area and control symptoms.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02564692Enrolling by invitation
APOE gene testing registry to find Alzheimer’s prevention studies
This program enrolls people to get a gene test (APOE) so researchers can match you to Alzheimer’s prevention studies in the future. If you qualify, you do the test but you would not receive your gene test results.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 50–90 - NCT02310399Recruiting
Auditory brainstem implant for children without cochleae or hearing nerves
This study looks at whether an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) can help children hear sounds and develop listening/communication skills when the usual inner-ear hearing structures or hearing nerves are missing or not working. It may help some children who cannot benefit from a cochlear implant, but spoken language may not be the main outcome.
New York, New YorkAges 1.5 years–21 years - NCT02402426Enrolling by invitation
Online brain health registry for adults
This study is building an online registry where adults can share information to help researchers find people for future brain research. Joining may help future studies get the people they need.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02450006Recruiting
Intermountain INSPIRE health registry for patients and families
This study is a health registry that collects information from people seen at Intermountain Health facilities (and sometimes unaffected family members). It aims to better understand health conditions and how people do over time, and it may help improve future care.
Murray, UtahAges Any age - NCT02670161Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Using electronic records to improve care for brain and nerve conditions
This study looks at how doctors use electronic medical records to improve treatment and care for people with certain brain and nervous system conditions. It may help because it tests practice-based approaches across neurology visits.
