New lung cancer medicines before surgery for unresectable stage III
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of IBI308 plus bevacizumab and pemetrexed/carboplatin given before surgery, aiming to shrink or control unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. It may help some people become eligible for surgery and improve outcomes, while also testing safety and effectiveness.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03803787RecruitingPhase 2
Inhaled steroid to prevent lung inflammation during cancer treatment
This trial tests whether breathing in steroid medicine before and during radiation can lower how often and how badly “radiation lung inflammation” (radiation pneumonitis) happens in people with lung cancer. If you qualify, it may help protect your lungs while you receive radiation with chemotherapy or targeted therapy.
Mexico CityAges 18–75 - NCT03685721Recruiting
Study genes in sickle cell disease to compare blood test activity
This study looks at how a person’s genes relate to certain measurements in red blood cells in people with sickle cell disease. The goal is to understand why blood cell function varies and how that might guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT03520647RecruitingPhase 2
Haplo transplant for severe bone marrow failure using donor cells
This trial tests a stem cell transplant from a closely matched but not fully matched family donor (haploidentical), with chemotherapy after the transplant to help prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It may help people with severe aplastic anemia, certain MDS after transformation, or PNH when other treatments have not worked or are not available.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–75 - NCT03581318Recruiting

This study uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to take detailed pictures of the heart. It aims to improve how doctors use heart MRI to diagnose and manage heart conditions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–100 - NCT03538639Recruiting
Study blood and tissue samples for vascular disease discovery
This study collects blood (and sometimes tissue samples) from people who may have vascular (blood vessel) problems and from certain pregnant participants. Researchers use the samples to better understand vascular disease and to help guide future research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT03683186Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term study of ralinepag for pulmonary hypertension
This study follows people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to see how safe and effective ralinepag is over the long term. It may help your care team understand what to expect from continued treatment and monitoring.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03551951Recruiting
Testing cancer cells and DNA in blood, urine, and bone marrow
This study looks for cancer-related cells and DNA in samples like blood, urine, and (for some) bone marrow. The goal is to see whether these tests can help detect or track solid cancers with minimal added procedures.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT03702309Recruiting
Banking and testing blood samples to study cancer
This study collects blood samples to “test and store” (bank) information that may help doctors understand cancer in the future. You might be able to join if you’re an adult with confirmed cancer or a higher-than-usual risk for cancer.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03578185Recruiting
Genetic testing to predict response to lung cancer immunotherapy
This study looks at genetic (DNA) information to find a marker that can help predict whether immunotherapy will work for lung cancer. If you’ve already received an immune checkpoint inhibitor, your tumor/genetic data may be analyzed to look for clues that guide treatment.
Seoul, Gangnam-guAges 18 years+ - NCT03630211RecruitingPhase 2
Study of stem cell transplant for systemic sclerosis in youth
This Phase 2 study tests whether an “autologous” stem cell transplant—using your own stem cells—can reduce systemic sclerosis disease activity. It is mainly for children, teens, and young adults whose disease did not improve despite standard medicines.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 8–60 - NCT00710112Recruiting
Genetic risk study in very low birth-weight babies
This study looks at genetic differences to understand why some very low birth-weight babies develop certain health problems. It may help doctors predict risk and tailor care for these babies.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Any age - NCT03340506RecruitingPhase 4
Follow-on treatment study for dabrafenib and trametinib
This study lets people who finished a prior dabrafenib/trametinib trial (sponsored by Novartis or former GSK) continue those medicines if the study doctor thinks it will help. It mainly focuses on ongoing treatment benefit rather than testing a new drug.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT03460977RecruitingPhase 1
Mevrometostat trial for hormone-resistant prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests mevrometostat (PF 06821497) in people with castration-resistant prostate cancer to see if it’s safe and how the body responds to it. It may be an option if your cancer is no longer controlled by hormone therapy and your organ health tests are within limits.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03331380Recruiting
Low-energy MRI study for people with or without heart disease
