Botucatu, São PauloAges 10–100 - NCT04296097Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for severe, steady disabling tinnitus
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (a device that sends controlled signals to the brain) can reduce severe, constant tinnitus that has not improved with usual treatments. It may help lower the loudness distress and improve daily quality of life for people whose tinnitus is especially disabling.
GrenobleAges 18–75 - NCT04322734Recruiting
Blood tests study immune and metabolism markers in neurodevelopment
This study looks for biological “signals” in blood—related to the immune system and metabolism—to better understand conditions like autism and other brain or development-related disorders. It may help researchers find markers that could guide future diagnosis or treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 18 years - NCT04329494RecruitingPhase 1
Study of targeted drug delivery into the abdomen using PIPAC
This Phase 1 trial tests PIPAC, a way to deliver anti-cancer medicine directly into the abdomen using a minimally invasive procedure. It is for people with peritoneal spread from certain cancers to see whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04364334Recruiting
Knee care registry for people treated at UMC Utrecht
This study is a “registry,” meaning researchers collect information about your knee care over time. It may help improve understanding and care for people who receive knee treatment at UMC Utrecht.
UtrechtAges Any age - NCT04483804Recruiting
Using computer image features to study breast cancer
This study looks at breast cancer images to see whether computer-extracted patterns (“radiomics”) can help improve understanding of the disease. You may be included if your breast cancer diagnosis is confirmed and your medical records are complete.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT04511013RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04524247Recruiting
Testing a custom stent graft for frail aortic aneurysms
This study looks at a specialized, customized stent graft to treat certain aneurysms (bulges) of the aorta in people who may be considered frail. It’s meant to see how well the device works and how safely it can be used in patients who fit specific aneurysm patterns.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04607174Recruiting
Test knee muscle activation in people with nerve or movement disorders
This study checks how well your knee muscles “turn on” during guided, controlled knee movements. It may help researchers understand movement problems and improve testing or therapies for neuromotor (nerve/movement) disorders.
Milan, MIAges 18–70 - NCT04635436Recruiting
Split-walking training for one-sided leg weakness when walking hurts
This trial tests whether a “split gait” walking training method can improve walking balance and how you move when you have one-sided leg problems and pain or limitations when walking. It may help reduce walking difficulties by training your stepping pattern safely.
Milan, MIAges 18–70 - NCT04639336Recruiting
Pompe disease study of brain and nerve effects
This study looks at how Pompe disease affects the brain and nervous system. You may be able to join if you have a confirmed diagnosis of infantile or late-onset Pompe disease and agree to participate.
Durham, North CarolinaAges birth–18 years - NCT04659824Recruiting
MRI study of iron buildup in normal aging
This study uses special MRI scans to measure how iron builds up in the brain as people age. It may help researchers understand what iron changes mean for healthy (non-disease) aging.
LilleAges 18–95 - NCT04677816RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin D supplements for triple-negative breast cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether taking high-dose vitamin D during pre-surgery (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy can increase the chance of having no remaining cancer found at surgery. It focuses on people with vitamin D deficiency and triple-negative breast cancer.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04741997RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Adjuvant melanoma treatment guided by response to targeted drugs
This early-phase study looks at whether people with melanoma can get the “right” follow-up (extra) treatment based on how well their cancer responds after starting targeted drugs before surgery. The goal is to improve outcomes while better matching treatment to each person’s tumor response.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04746677Recruiting
Stent repair for complex aortic problems when standard options fail
