Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT03039439Recruiting
Tissue study of parathyroid tumors to understand tumor biology
This study looks at blood and/or tissue samples from people with parathyroid problems to better understand different types of parathyroid tumors. It does not test a new medicine—instead, researchers analyze samples to learn what makes each tumor type different.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT03093909RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing treatment with gemcitabine for lung cancer spread
This early-stage trial studies an inhaled (aerosol) form of gemcitabine to treat solid tumors that have spread to the lungs. It aims to see whether this lung-focused treatment is safe and how well it might work when standard curative options are not available.

What taking part in a tumor study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
