CPAP treatment effects in older COPD and sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT04165109Recruiting
Down syndrome study to test memory and thinking changes
This study enrolls adults with Down syndrome to better understand how thinking and memory develop and change over time. It may help by building a “trial-ready” group and by measuring thinking in a careful, consistent way.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 25–55 - NCT04222062RecruitingPhase 2
Compare Gliadel implant versus focused brain radiation
This Phase 2 study compares two ways to treat brain metastases: a Gliadel wafer placed during planned surgery versus focused stereotactic radiosurgery. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for people with a limited number of brain tumor spots.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04216927RecruitingPhase 3
Neonates on heart-lung bypass get NO to prevent kidney injury
This Phase 3 study tests whether not giving nitric oxide during heart-lung bypass in newborns helps reduce the risk of acute kidney injury. It focuses on newborns having heart surgery for congenital heart disease.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1 day–1 month - NCT04150640RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo drug combination for advanced stomach or esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of chemo drugs (oxaliplatin and liposomal irinotecan) plus trastuzumab works better for people with advanced stomach or esophagus adenocarcinoma that has specific tumor markers (HER2 and PDL1). It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the cancer in people who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04181138Recruiting
Study of childhood primary sclerosing cholangitis types
This study follows children and young adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) to understand the condition and how it shows up on scans or biopsy. It may help doctors better recognize PSC and choose the best next steps for care.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 2–25 - NCT04240522Recruiting
Long-term study of eczema and related allergies
This observational study follows people with eczema (atopic dermatitis) and sometimes related allergies over time, even if they keep their usual medical treatments. It may help researchers better understand how these conditions change and what factors relate to symptoms.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 1–85 - NCT04187105RecruitingPhase 2
Total marrow radiation using a targeted intensity plan before transplant
This Phase 2 study tests a more precise type of whole bone-marrow radiation before a stem cell transplant. It may help patients with certain high-risk blood cancers by preparing the body for transplant more safely and effectively.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT04234048RecruitingPhase 1
ST-001 trial for stubborn T-cell lymphoma that came back
This Phase 1 trial tests ST-001, an experimental treatment, for T-cell lymphomas that have returned or did not respond to prior therapy. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether it can shrink or control the lymphoma.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04147559Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for a specific hip replacement stem
This study checks how well a particular hip replacement stem (the PROFEMUR Preserve Classic Femoral Stem) and matching parts keep working over many years. You may be invited if you had that exact hip replacement combination and can return for long-term checkups.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT04124029Recruiting
How head injuries affect brain health
This study looks at how mild or moderate head injuries (concussions) may relate to brain conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease. By comparing people with and without head injuries, researchers hope to learn more about what causes brain changes over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30–90 - NCT04052022Recruiting
Study of TB flare-ups in people without HIV
This study looks at why some people with tuberculosis (TB) get worse or develop new inflammation after they initially start improving on treatment—called a “paradoxical reaction.” It collects blood and tissue samples to better understand these flare-ups and guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04097561RecruitingPhase 1
Belimumab safety study for low CD4 counts and autoantibodies
This Phase 1 study tests how safe belimumab is for people with idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia (low protective white blood cells) and signs of autoantibodies. It aims to learn whether the treatment is tolerable and could be a future option for people with this immune condition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT04064008Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for a specific hip revision stem
This study follows people who had a hip replacement redone (revision) because of bone healing problems or hardware removal, using a specific revision femoral stem. It checks how the stem does over time and follows up for up to 10 years after surgery.
OtwockAges Any age - NCT04097145Recruiting
Heart valve repair for severe leaking tricuspid valve
This trial tests a catheter-based procedure (done through the blood vessels) to repair a severely leaky tricuspid valve. It may help people with symptoms or past hospitalizations from tricuspid valve leakage who are higher-risk for standard surgery.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04104659Enrolling by invitation
Tau PET scan study to map brain changes in Alzheimer’s
This study tests a PET scan “tracer” medicine called [18F]MK-6240 to see how tau protein changes show up in the brain. It may help researchers measure disease-related brain changes in people with normal thinking or mild dementia.
