Pembrolizumab plus investigational HPV drugs for throat cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) combined with investigational treatment(s) pBI-11 and TA-HPV for advanced or recurrent oropharyngeal cancer that is HPV-positive and has certain immune marker levels (PD-L1 CPS ≥ 1). It may help your immune system better attack cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT02994433RecruitingPhase 1
Testing nitrous oxide for depression brain circuit activity
This early study tests whether nitrous oxide, aimed at specific brain circuits, can change depression-related brain activity. It is mainly for adults with major depression or treatment-resistant depression, and includes brain imaging during the study.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–65 - NCT03042962Recruiting
Brain imaging study of focal dystonia and related conditions
This trial uses brain scans to understand how brain networks work in people with focal dystonia, and to compare with family members and healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand what goes wrong in the brain and guide future treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–80 - NCT03042975Recruiting
Study brain and voice genetics in people with voice movement disorders
This study looks at how genetics and brain patterns are connected to laryngeal dystonia and voice tremor, including people with certain types of voice disorders. You may be asked to do imaging and voice-related assessments to help researchers understand what’s causing these symptoms.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT03115203Recruiting
MRI muscle imaging study for facial paralysis
This study uses a stronger MRI machine (3 Tesla) to take detailed pictures of skin and face muscles in people with facial paralysis. It may help doctors better understand what changes happen in the face muscles over time.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT03125343Recruiting
Watch-and-wait after rectal cancer treatment for select patients
This study looks at whether some people with rectal cancer can safely avoid immediate surgery after (chemo)radiation, instead closely monitoring their response. It may help some patients reduce treatment burden if the cancer fully responds.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT03206190Recruiting
Study for early SPG4 symptoms in family members
This study looks at people in families with a known SPG4 gene change (a SPAST mutation) to understand early, subtle signs and the beginning of symptoms. It may help researchers find better ways to detect SPG4 earlier, before full walking problems start.
TübingenAges 18–70 - NCT03243019RecruitingPhase 2
Rapamycin for lymphatic malformations in children
This trial studies whether rapamycin can reduce problems caused by cervico-facial or chest (mediastinal) lymphatic malformations in children. It may help with pain and swallowing or breathing difficulties when standard “curative” treatment isn’t possible.
LilleAges Up to 18 years - NCT03303547Recruiting
Matching scans and biopsy results in colon and rectal cancer
This study looks at how well cancer found on scans matches the actual cancer seen under the microscope after surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan treatment for colon, sigmoid, or rectal adenocarcinoma.
London, SurreyAges 16 years+ - NCT03434548Recruiting
Imaging study for early and late Huntington’s disease changes
This study uses repeat brain scans (including PET and MRI) to track changes in the brain caused by Huntington’s disease over time. It may help researchers understand disease progress and test how well the scans reflect early vs later disease.
London, EnglandAges 21–75 - NCT03504956Recruiting
MRI study to map early heart artery plaque changes
