- NCT01365169Recruiting
How activity level and daily function relate to cancer survival
This study looks at how physical activity (movement during the day) and a clinician-rated “day-to-day function” score relate to overall survival in people with certain cancers. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from activity-focused care and better monitoring.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01868490Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a patient’s immune cells for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a modified version of your own immune cells (made from your blood) to help treat advanced cancers that are no longer responding to standard treatment. It’s designed mainly to see if the approach is safe and how well it may work for people whose disease has progressed.
Bangkoknoi, BangkokAges 8–60 - NCT01473784Recruiting
Robot-assisted mouth and throat surgery for head and neck tumors
This trial studies using a robot-assisted operation through the mouth to diagnose or treat certain non-cancer (benign) and cancer (malignant) tumors in the head and neck. It may help some people avoid more invasive surgery by using an approach that reaches the throat and voice box area through the mouth.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT01891318RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study radiosurgery plus surgery for brain metastases
This trial tests giving focused radiation (radiosurgery) before surgery for certain resectable brain metastases. It may help shrink or control tumors in the brain before they are surgically removed.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT00260585Recruiting
Esophageal risk and tissue registry study
This study collects information and, if you already need blood tests or procedures, may take extra small tissue samples (biopsies) to better understand esophageal-related conditions. It may help researchers learn about risk and future management for people with certain esophagus or reflux-related diagnoses.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00200486Recruiting
Molecular testing of head and neck tumors
This study looks at head and neck tumors using molecular and genetic tests. It may help doctors learn more about what drives different tumors and how they might respond to treatment, using biopsy or stored tumor tissue.
The Bronx, New YorkAges Any age - NCT00488878Recruiting
Collecting information for certain low-grade ovarian or peritoneal tumors
This study collects health information from people whose ovarian or peritoneal cancer started as a low-grade type but later changed to a higher-grade cancer. It may help researchers better understand how these tumors progress and what to expect over time.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT00992303Recruiting
Collecting tissue samples during radiation for people with cancer
This study collects tissue samples from people with cancer while they are getting radiation therapy. It also includes healthy participants, to help researchers compare samples and better understand cancer and treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00900497Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor white blood cells to treat solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether donated white blood cells (granulocytes) from healthy donors can help treat solid cancers that cannot be cured or have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see safety first, and then whether the treatment can shrink or control tumors.
Boynton Beach, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT00830557Recruiting
Share information and donate tissue samples for pancreatic illnesses
This study collects health information and tissue samples from people with pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic conditions. Your participation may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT00477100Recruiting
Breast cancer tissue and data registry for research
This trial helps create a research “tissue registry” by collecting breast cancer tissue samples and medical information. It may help doctors better understand inflammatory or invasive breast cancer and improve future studies.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT01137825Recruiting
Older patient cancer registry for a health check
This study is a registry that collects information from older adults who may be dealing with cancer. It includes a short health and function check to help doctors understand needs and guide care, even for people who turn out not to have cancer.
Boone, North CarolinaAges 65 years+ - NCT00870129Recruiting
MRI mapping to plan radiation for certain brain tumors
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT00131014Recruiting
Building a family tumor and genetics bank for blood cancers
This study collects and stores tumor/tissue information and family medical history from people with certain blood cancers. It aims to help researchers understand why these illnesses may run in families and use genetic clues for future research.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT00899405Recruiting
Studying lung cancer tissue and blood for DNA changes
This study looks at lung cancer tumor samples and blood to find DNA changes (gene changes) that may be driving the cancer. The results could help researchers better understand lung cancer and guide future treatments.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01034033Recruiting
Blood and tumor genetic study for BRCA and related risks
This study collects blood (and possibly tumor tissue) to learn how certain inherited gene changes relate to breast and ovarian cancer risk. It may help researchers understand which people are most likely to develop these cancers and how tumors differ in high-risk patients.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00050752Recruiting
Study of hereditary kidney cancer and skin tumors
This research study helps doctors understand a rare genetic condition called HLRCC that causes specific types of skin tumors and kidney cancer to run in families. By studying your genetics and medical history, researchers hope to improve how doctors detect and treat this condition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT00001595Recruiting
Study of pituitary tumors and related hormone gland disorders
This research study investigates tumors and disorders of the pituitary gland (a small gland that controls many body hormones) and related areas of the brain. You may qualify if you have a pituitary tumor or disorder, or if you have a family history of these conditions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–70 - NCT00001975Recruiting
Skin Tumors and Tuberous Sclerosis Study
This study looks at skin growths that develop in people with tuberous sclerosis (a genetic condition affecting multiple organs). Researchers want to understand these skin changes better and may test new treatments to help manage them.
