MRI scans to study brain tumors using molecular imaging
This study uses special MRI scans to better “characterize” (study) gliomas, a type of brain tumor, using information from your brain tissue. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a suspected or confirmed glioma and you already need a biopsy or surgery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03328078RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Emavusertib for recurrent brain lymphoma after prior treatment
This Phase 1/2 trial tests emavusertib (a targeted medicine) in adults with primary central nervous system lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It’s designed to find safe dosing and see how well the treatment can control the lymphoma in the brain/spinal fluid.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03463954Recruiting
Laser treatment trial for small breast tumors
This trial tests a focused laser treatment (Novilase®) to destroy small, cancerous breast tumors while aiming to work with standard care. It may help people who have an early, localized tumor that can be clearly seen on imaging so doctors can guide the laser safely.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03422302Recruiting
CPAP or breath-holding to reduce lung tumor motion
This study looks at whether using a CPAP breathing device or deep breath-holding can keep lung tumors from moving during targeted radiation. The goal is to improve safety and accuracy of stereotactic body radiation for lung cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03067181RecruitingPhase 3
Active surveillance and chemotherapy for germ cell tumors
This study looks at how to manage germ cell tumors in children and young adults using careful monitoring for some patients and chemotherapy for others. It aims to see whether these approaches can control the cancer while avoiding unnecessary treatment when possible.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT03128996RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bone marrow transplant with lighter chemo for non-cancer illnesses
This early-phase study tests a safer “lighter” conditioning chemo plan before a bone marrow transplant for people with non-cancer blood and immune disorders. It aims to reduce transplant risk while using donor marrow that does not match perfectly in the HLA type.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 1 day–21 years - NCT03184038Recruiting
Testing brain function in people with brain metastases after radiosurgery
This study looks at how well your thinking and memory work after treatment with radiosurgery for brain metastases. It may help researchers understand which patients benefit best and how to monitor side effects on brain function.
Sewell, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT03141021Recruiting
Registry for people diagnosed with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information from people diagnosed with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). It may help doctors learn about the condition better and improve future care.
Tampa, FloridaAges Any age - NCT03020979RecruitingPhase 2
Apatinib for fluid buildup in the belly from cancer
This trial tests a pill called apatinib in people whose cancer has spread to the belly and causes fluid to build up (malignant ascites). Apatinib works by cutting off the blood supply that tumors need to grow, which may help reduce the fluid and ease symptoms.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT02479698RecruitingPhase 2
Immune cells for BK or JC virus infections
This trial tests a treatment using special immune cells (called cytotoxic T lymphocytes) to fight BK or JC virus infections in people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients or organ transplant recipients. It may help control the virus and reduce related complications.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT02203903RecruitingPhase 1
Donor T-cell treatment after transplant for high-risk AML and MDS
This Phase 1 trial studies an advanced form of donated immune cells given after a stem cell transplant to help prevent leukemia coming back. It mainly looks at safety and whether the treatment can work in people with very high-risk AML or MDS who have not relapsed.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 6 months–80 years - NCT02269592Recruiting
Study blood marker changes in early, symptom-free blood cancers
This study follows people with early, “precursor” blood conditions to learn what changes in their blood or bone marrow signal progression. It may help doctors better predict outcomes and understand why some people develop symptom-causing cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02134574Recruiting
Study of blood cancers in adults in southern France
This study follows adults who are being checked for a possible blood cancer, or who were recently diagnosed with a blood cancer within the last 6 months. It may help doctors understand the condition better and improve how early workups and care are organized.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT02074839RecruitingPhase 1
Oral AG-120 for advanced blood cancers with an IDH1 mutation
This Phase 1 study tests an oral medicine called AG-120 in adults with advanced blood cancers that have a specific IDH1 mutation. It also looks at safety and how the treatment works, with frequent blood, urine, and bone marrow samples.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT00920972RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bone marrow transplant prep for children with non-cancer blood disorders
This early-stage study tests a specific chemotherapy “conditioning” regimen to prepare the body for a bone marrow transplant in children with certain non-cancer blood or immune conditions. It may help the transplant work better, but it also carries risks from the chemotherapy and transplant process.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 20 years - NCT00001238Recruiting
Understanding kidney cancer genes in families
This research study helps doctors understand inherited kidney cancers and related conditions that run in families. Researchers collect medical information and blood samples to identify genetic causes and improve how these conditions are diagnosed and treated.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT00026884Recruiting
Blood and tissue sample collection for cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancer or suspected cancer, or from their blood relatives. Researchers use these samples to better understand cancer and develop new treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT00242723Recruiting
Looking at cell changes in lung, esophagus, and chest cancers
This study collects blood, urine, and tissue samples from people with lung, esophageal, or other chest cancers to look at cell changes. It does not test a new treatment—instead, it aims to better understand these cancers through research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT01821456Recruiting
Study of immune-suppressed people in Cologne
This study follows people whose immune systems are weakened (immunosuppressed). Researchers want to better understand what happens in this group, and what risks or outcomes may occur.
