Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05469893RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for high-risk smoldering myeloma

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05450432RecruitingPhase 4
Ketamine maintenance to help prevent suicidal thoughts
This Phase 4 study tests whether ongoing treatment with ketamine or esketamine can reduce suicidal thoughts in people with major depression who are at high risk.

Dinutuximab plus transplant for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests adding a targeted drug called dinutuximab to standard chemotherapy, surgery, and a stem cell transplant for children and young adults with a new diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if this combination helps more patients stay in remission.

Early treatment check for high-risk CLL/SLL
This Phase 3 trial studies an early treatment approach for people with high-risk CLL or SLL who have not yet needed standard therapy. It aims to see if treating earlier can improve outcomes while keeping side effects manageable.

Study of CBX-250 for advanced myeloid leukemias
This study tests an experimental drug, CBX-250, for people with certain advanced blood cancers (like AML) that have not responded to standard treatments or have returned. The drug works only for people who have a specific genetic marker (HLA-A*02:01). The goal is to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT06822439Recruiting
Remote fetal monitoring for high-risk pregnancies

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03959085RecruitingPhase 3
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for high-risk childhood leukemia
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding inotuzumab to standard post-induction chemotherapy improves outcomes for children and young teens with high-risk B-ALL, mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or certain high-risk B-LLy. It may help by targeting leukemia cells more directly, but participation depends on specific age, lab results, and medical history rules.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 months–25 years - NCT07001332Recruiting

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06753916RecruitingPhase 2
Trial of a new treatment for high-risk cornea transplants
This study tests a new approach to help prevent cornea transplant failure in people with high-risk conditions, such as blood vessels growing into the cornea. It aims to see if this treatment can improve transplant success.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05800366RecruitingPhase 2
Testing glofitamab plus polatuzumab for high-risk diffuse lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests two medicines—glofitamab and polatuzumab—together with chemotherapy to treat newly diagnosed, high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has the CD20 marker. It aims to improve how well the lymphoma responds and how long responses last.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03848962Recruiting
Share leftover or collected samples for research
This study helps collect and share human samples (like blood or other specimens) so researchers can do new studies. It’s mainly about providing samples for research use, not testing a treatment on you.
Lexington, MassachusettsAges 1 month–89 years - NCT05317585Recruiting
Continuous glucose monitor use during early pregnancy with type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor during pregnancy is useful for people with type 2 diabetes. It may help track blood sugar levels more closely to support safer pregnancy care.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05388643Recruiting
Early screening for gestational diabetes during early pregnancy
This study tests whether checking for gestational diabetes (diabetes that starts in pregnancy) early can help identify it sooner in people at higher risk. You may be asked to do a glucose test during your first prenatal visits so clinicians can monitor and respond earlier.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05124808Recruiting
Tight blood sugar targets in pregnant women with gestational diabetes
This study compares a tighter blood sugar goal versus a standard goal in pregnant people with gestational diabetes who are also overweight or obese. It may help find whether stricter blood sugar control improves pregnancy outcomes.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18–45 - NCT04696029RecruitingPhase 2
DFMO to prevent return of high-risk or relapsed medulloblastoma
This Phase 2 study tests DFMO (a maintenance medicine) to help stop medulloblastoma from coming back or worsening after prior treatment. It focuses on children and young people with specific high-risk tumor types or tumors that have returned or not responded well to treatment.
