You may be asked to give a urine sample and allow use of your medical and treatment details for analysis (results are not shared with you).
TaipeiAges 30–100 - NCT03051464RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing two ways to boost radiation to prevent rectal surgery
This study looks at whether two different added “boosts” of radiation can work as well for rectal cancer patients, aiming to avoid or reduce the need for rectal cancer surgery. You would receive a specific combination of radiation (including brachytherapy) and chemotherapy, and your tumor’s location and size will determine if you can take part.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT03219450RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized vaccine for early-stage, treatment-free CLL
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized cancer vaccine made from each patient’s CLL (“neoantigens”) plus a medicine called poly-ICLC to help the immune system learn to recognize the cancer. It is designed for people who have CLL but are currently not needing treatment, to see if it’s safe and may help keep the disease under control.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03275610Enrolling by invitation
Genetic study in people with past lung blood clots after knee or hip surgery
This study looks at genetic (inherited DNA) markers in people who have had a lung blood clot (pulmonary embolism) after having a hip or knee replacement. The goal is to understand why blood clots may happen again and help improve future risk prediction and care.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT03224949Recruiting
Study comparing fatty liver types and healthy livers
This study compares liver samples and blood tests from people with alcohol-related fatty liver disease, alcohol-related hepatitis, and cirrhosis (including some with liver cancer) against healthy controls. It aims to better tell these liver conditions apart and understand what is different between them.
