This study looks at how well people heal and how well they can move and use the repaired bone after reconstructive surgery for bone tumors. It may help doctors understand what recovery looks like and what could improve function over time.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 4 years+ - NCT03206060RecruitingPhase 2
Lu-177 DOTATATE for hard-to-remove pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma
This trial studies Lu-177 DOTATATE (Lutathera), a targeted radiation medicine, for tumors that cannot be safely removed with surgery. It aims to shrink or control pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma that is showing recent growth and has a specific target signal on a special PET scan.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT03049072Recruiting
Registry for people treated with ion beam therapy at MedAustron
This trial is a patient registry that collects information from people treated with ion beam therapy at MedAustron. It helps researchers understand treatment patterns and outcomes and may improve care for future patients.
Wiener Neustadt, Lower AustriaAges Any age - NCT03122197RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Letrozole for recurrent high-grade brain tumors
This early-phase study tests letrozole, a hormone-blocking medicine, in adults with recurrent high-grade gliomas. The goal is to see if it can help control the tumor and is safe enough to study further.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03210935Recruiting
National registry for rare skin cancer diagnoses
This trial is a French national database that collects information from people with certain rare skin cancers. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve future care, using real-world patient data.
Dijon, DijonAges Any age - NCT03042221Recruiting
Early re-biopsy to find why tumors survive targeted drugs
This study takes a small tumor sample early after starting targeted treatment (or uses blood if a biopsy isn’t possible) to look for clues—called biomarkers—about why some tumor cells survive. The results may help improve how future patients’ treatments are chosen for certain lung cancer gene mutations.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT03280394Recruiting
Liquid blood test for mature B-cell tumors
This study looks at how a “liquid biopsy,” a test done on blood, may help in people with mature B-cell tumors. It mainly checks whether you can take part and complete the planned study procedures.
Bellinzona, Canton TicinoAges 18 years+ - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 12–50 - NCT02834884Recruiting
Helps match cancer patients to clinical trials using screening
This study screens certain cancer types and collects a sample to check it’s good enough for future trial matching and research. If you qualify, your care team may use your sample to help find the most efficient clinical trial options.
ViennaAges 12 years+ - NCT02677961Recruiting
Build a bone and soft tissue tumor health record registry
This registry collects health information from people with bone or soft tissue tumors to help researchers understand these cancers better. You may be able to join if you (or your legal decision-maker) can consent to participate.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02838836Recruiting
Checking for cancer DNA and tumor cells in bodily samples
This study looks for cancer-related material in blood, urine, and sometimes bone marrow. It may help researchers understand how to detect cancer activity and track it over time using less invasive tests.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT02941458Recruiting
Registry for people with chest (thoracic) tumors
This study is a registry that collects information from people who have tumors in the chest. It may include people receiving active treatment or only comfort (palliative) care, helping researchers learn about these conditions.
Ferrol, A CoruñaAges Any age - NCT02806388Recruiting
