Study following people with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)
This study follows people who have von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) over time to better understand how the condition changes. It may help doctors plan future treatments by collecting long-term health information.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT00900198Recruiting
Give cancer tissue samples to help future cancer research
This study collects tissue or other cancer-related samples to help researchers better understand cancer and develop better tests or treatments. You can join if you are being evaluated for or treated for cancer, and you agree to let your samples be used for research.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 2 months+ - NCT06450171Recruiting
Multi-cancer early detection test for people at high risk
This study tests a blood-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) screening test in people with a high risk of cancer due to inherited gene changes or strong family history. The goal is to see if this test can find cancer early.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22 years+ - NCT04981509RecruitingPhase 2
Check if 3 medicines help advanced kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab can shrink or control advanced kidney cancer. It’s aimed at people with certain kidney-cancer subtypes (including HLRCC-related cases or papillary kidney cancer) and who have not had many prior targeted or immune treatments.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04531696Recruiting
Post-death breast tissue donation study for cancer research
This trial invites adults with certain breast cancer conditions to donate tissue after death. Researchers hope the donated samples will help better understand cancer and improve future treatments.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07053813Enrolling by invitation
Preventive genetic medicine trial for cancer risk
This trial tests whether a special program can help people with cancer-related genetic changes get the right screening and prevention care. It aims to improve how doctors manage your health based on your genes.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT02958462Recruiting
Clinic study for early blood or bone marrow warning signs
This study follows people who may have early, unclear blood count problems or certain genetic/immune patterns that can later lead to bone marrow failure or blood cancers. It may help doctors better understand risks over time and guide earlier care.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04792463Recruiting
BAP1 gene cancer-risk study and family cancer patterns
This study looks at how the BAP1 gene affects cancer risk and what cancers people develop, including within families. You may be able to join if you have a known BAP1-related mutation, a strong family cancer history, or a concerning cancer pattern linked to BAP1.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT02747888Recruiting
Study of inherited risk for thyroid cancer
This study looks at whether thyroid cancer or thyroid lumps can run in families due to inherited (genetic) risk. It may help researchers better identify who is at higher risk and guide future screening or prevention.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT02000089RecruitingPhase 3
Pancreas screening study for people at high cancer risk
This Phase 3 study tests a structured plan for checking the pancreas early in people with a higher-than-usual risk of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to find changes sooner, when treatment may be easier.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT00050752Recruiting
Study of hereditary kidney cancer and skin tumors
This research study helps doctors understand a rare genetic condition called HLRCC that causes specific types of skin tumors and kidney cancer to run in families. By studying your genetics and medical history, researchers hope to improve how doctors detect and treat this condition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT03250078Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer screening for people at high genetic risk
This study offers pancreatic cancer screening for people with strong family history or certain inherited gene changes. It may help find pancreatic cancer earlier, when treatment may be more effective.
Norwalk, ConnecticutAges 50–90 - NCT04743479Recruiting
AI screening for pancreatic cancer in higher-risk people
