This trial looks for the specific DNA or tumor changes in your cancer and then matches you to a targeted drug plan. It’s meant for people with early cancer that has not already been treated in this study.
BayonneAges 18 years+ - NCT02457962Recruiting
Registry study of outcomes from Mayo radiation treatments
This study collects information about how patients do after radiation treatment and stores some biological samples for future research. It includes people treated at Mayo Clinic Rochester for a cancer-focused (curative) course of radiation.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT02421380Recruiting
Tests how repeatable a special MRI scan is for tumors
This study checks whether a specialized MRI using injected “hyperpolarized pyruvate” gives consistent tumor images when repeated. It may help future patients by improving how reliably this scan can measure tumors.
Montvale, New JerseyAges 21–90 - NCT02464696Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support to avoid tube breathing in cancer
This trial studies a mask-based breathing treatment (noninvasive ventilation) for people with cancer and serious breathing trouble, to see if it can prevent the need for intubation (putting a breathing tube in). If you qualify, the goal is to help you breathe better without invasive airway support when possible.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01351545Recruiting
Cryopreserved cord blood access program for transplant patients
This trial studies an organized way to obtain and distribute unlicensed (not FDA-approved for general use) stored cord blood units that have been frozen and kept. It may help people who need a cord blood transplant but don’t fit the “licensed cord blood only” options.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT01790152Recruiting
Dexrazoxane study to monitor heart damage in cancer survivors
This study tests dexrazoxane (DRZ) to see how it affects blood and heart-related “biomarkers,” or measurable signs of heart damage, after cancer treatment. It mainly targets survivors who may be at risk for cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness) or related heart failure.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT01950572Recruiting
Biopsy study to learn about mesothelioma and related cancers
This study collects tissue samples (biopsies) and health information to better understand malignant mesothelioma and certain related solid tumors that may produce a protein called mesothelin. It may help future research and treatments, and you can only join if your diagnosis is confirmed and it’s safe for you to have the tissue taken.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges 19–110 - NCT01473784Recruiting
Robot-assisted mouth and throat surgery for head and neck tumors
This trial studies using a robot-assisted operation through the mouth to diagnose or treat certain non-cancer (benign) and cancer (malignant) tumors in the head and neck. It may help some people avoid more invasive surgery by using an approach that reaches the throat and voice box area through the mouth.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT01451502Recruiting
Study uses donor cord blood to restore blood cell production
This study tests giving you donated umbilical cord blood through an IV to help your body rebuild blood-forming cells after chemotherapy. It may help people who need a stem-cell “reset” using a specific type of cord blood unit that meets strict matching and safety rules.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT01750619Recruiting
Endoscopic removal of early and cancer GI growths
This trial looks at outcomes after doctors remove abnormal or cancerous growths in the digestive tract using an endoscope (a flexible camera passed through the body). It may help improve how safely and effectively these procedures are done.
