Ketamine treatment for depression that hasn’t responded to care
This Phase 2 study tests ketamine for people with major depression that hasn’t improved after at least one antidepressant. It aims to see whether ketamine can reduce depression symptoms during a current depressive episode.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–55 - NCT02484885Recruiting
Breath-hold MRI study to test imaging reliability
This study uses a special MRI gas (xenon-129) and scanner software to check how reliably images can be repeated. You may be able to help researchers improve MRI technology, as long as you can safely do the breathing and MRI scanning steps.
London, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT02663362Recruiting
Whole-body MRI and scan method testing
This study tests and checks a new way of using MRI scans (and special scan add-ons) across the whole body. You may be able to help researchers improve the imaging tools and methods for future medical use.
Orlando, FloridaAges 12–89 - NCT02531880RecruitingPhase 1
MRI test of a brain barrier issue in hard-to-treat epilepsy
This early-phase study uses a special MRI approach to look for signs that the “blood-brain barrier” is breaking down in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It may help researchers understand what is happening in the brain and guide future treatments, though it is primarily a testing/study study.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT02222844Recruiting
MRI checks for treatment planning in sigmoid colon cancer
This study uses MRI scans to better plan “curative” treatment (aimed at cure) for sigmoid colon cancer before surgery. It is for people who may still be deciding on the radical (major, curative) treatment plan and who can safely have an MRI.
Huntingdon, CambridgeshireAges 16 years+ - NCT02629107Recruiting
Sleep and brain scan study with sound cues
This study checks how your brain responds while you sleep using an MRI scanner and gentle sound signals. It may help researchers better understand sleep and brain function.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–34 - NCT03197350Recruiting
Study of heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study looks at people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is not reduced. Researchers aim to better understand this type of heart failure and compare it with people who have no history of heart disease or heart failure.
BrusselsAges 18–99 - NCT03270059RecruitingPhase 2
MRI with special contrast to study brain and other CNS problems
This trial tests whether two special MRI contrast medicines—gadolinium and ferumoxytol—can better diagnose problems in the brain or central nervous system. It may help doctors identify what’s causing symptoms or abnormal brain findings.
Portland, OregonAges 10 years+ - NCT02914951Enrolling by invitation
Therapy to reduce irritability in children with autism
This trial studies whether cognitive-behavioral therapy (a structured talk therapy) can reduce irritability and anger outbursts in children with autism. It may help improve day-to-day behavior by teaching coping skills and reducing problem reactions.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 8–16 - NCT02621944RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Melatonin for newborns with brain injury after oxygen problems
This early study tests whether giving melatonin to newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury from not enough oxygen around birth) can help protect the brain while they are cooled (therapeutic hypothermia). It may be most relevant if your baby shows early brain-injury signs and meets specific blood test and birth-history timing criteria.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 6 hours - NCT02600949Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Peptide vaccine study for advanced pancreatic or colon cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized vaccine made from a patient’s tumor to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer. It is for people with advanced pancreatic or colorectal cancer (often after surgery or while metastatic) and aims to see if the approach is safe and can help immune control of the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01725763Enrolling by invitation
MRI without contrast to help diagnose pulmonary hypertension
This study uses an MRI scan that does not use contrast dye to better diagnose and sort out pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It may help doctors classify your condition more accurately, especially around the time you’re scheduled for a right-heart catheterization.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07405476RecruitingPhase 2
Zanidatamab before surgery for HER2 positive colon or rectal cancer
This trial tests if the drug zanidatamab, given before surgery, can help treat colon or rectal cancer that has a specific marker called HER2. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07447076RecruitingPhase 2
New treatments for recurrent ATRT brain tumor
This trial tests new treatments for children and young adults whose ATRT brain tumor has come back or grown. It aims to find if these therapies can help control the tumor.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1–39 - NCT07455292Recruiting
Heart valve study using advanced MRI
This study uses a special type of MRI, called 4D flow MRI, to better understand how severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve) affects heart function. It may help doctors learn more about different types of this condition and improve future treatment.
San Donato MilaneseAges 18 years+ - NCT07468136RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Retifanlimab with or without DFMO for progressive high-grade gliomas
This study tests a combination of two drugs—retifanlimab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and DFMO (a medicine that may stop tumor growth)—in people with high-grade brain tumors that are growing. Participants will receive these treatments before and after their planned surgery.
