Study of combination chemotherapy for Wilms tumor in children
This Phase 2 trial tests combination chemotherapy for children with certain types of Wilms tumor—either newly diagnosed diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor or favorable Wilms tumor that has come back. The goal is to see how well the treatment controls the tumor and is tolerable for children.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT04258319Enrolling by invitation
Limb fluid swelling study using arm and leg motion tests
This study looks at how swollen fluid (lymphedema) behaves in the arms and legs using measurements taken from your movement. It aims to better understand the changes in limb tissue, which could help guide future care.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04329065RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine with targeted breast cancer drugs before surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a cancer vaccine (with GM-CSF) to standard HER2-targeted chemotherapy before surgery improves treatment outcomes for HER2-positive breast cancer. If you join, you’ll receive planned medicine before surgery to treat the tumor, then continue with the study schedule.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04339374Recruiting
Ultrasound and light imaging during rectal cancer surgery
This study tests a newer kind of imaging (ultrasound plus light-based measurements) to help doctors tell rectal cancer apart from other tissue during surgery. You may be able to take part if you’re having surgery for rectal cancer and the tumor is close enough to the anus.
St Louis, MissouriAges 19 years+ - NCT04202094Enrolling by invitation
Fertility options for young men after childhood cancer treatment
This study looks at fertility outcomes in young men who had cancer or blood disorders as children and then received high-risk treatment that can affect future fertility. It also compares people who did or did not store testicular tissue through a biopsy when they were younger.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT04206215Recruiting
Noninvasive brain stimulation for carpal tunnel pain relief
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can reduce chronic carpal tunnel (CTS) pain, especially when pain spreads beyond the usual nerve area. If you have long-lasting CTS pain that hasn’t improved with standard treatments, you may be able to try this therapy while being closely monitored for safety.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT04047784Enrolling by invitation
Using EBUS to help diagnose a blood clot in the lungs
This study looks at whether a procedure called EBUS (a camera passed through the airway) can help doctors diagnose an acute pulmonary embolism—a sudden blood clot in the lungs—in critically ill, intubated ICU patients. If you’re eligible, EBUS may be done during bronchoscopy as part of your usual care to help confirm or rule out the diagnosis.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03952637RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for GM1 disease with IV delivery
This early-stage study tests an IV gene therapy that delivers a working copy of an enzyme gene to help the body make beta-galactosidase in GM1 gangliosidosis. It may help slow or improve disease symptoms and looks closely at safety and how well the treatment works.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–12 years - NCT03933670RecruitingPhase 2
MRI scan with special sugar to monitor prostate cancer on surveillance
This study uses a special MRI scan using “hyperpolarized” labeled pyruvate (a sugar-like substance) to see how prostate cancer may be behaving in people who are on active surveillance. It may help researchers monitor cancer without immediate treatment, by spotting changes earlier.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03687411Recruiting
Ultrasound tool to find spinal landmarks for anesthesia
This trial tests an ultrasound-based device that automatically marks key spots in your lower back so anesthesia can be given more accurately. It may help the anesthesia provider place the needle with better guidance during surgery.
SingaporeAges 21–75 - NCT03662178Recruiting
Ultrasound check plan for healthy baby growth during pregnancy
This trial looks at how a structured ultrasound schedule may help track fetal (baby) growth during routine prenatal care. It may benefit patients by improving how pregnancy growth checks are planned and recorded.
Oxford, OxfordshireAges 16–60 - NCT03628313Recruiting
Aortic Valve Narrowing: Long-term Outcomes Study
This study follows patients with aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the heart valve that controls blood flow from the heart) to understand how the condition progresses over time and what outcomes patients experience. By reviewing medical records and contacting patients for follow-up, researchers hope to better predict who is at higher risk and inform treatment decisions.
Amiens, FranceAges 18–100 - NCT03572465Recruiting
Ultrasound tests to diagnose fatty liver inflammation
This study checks whether special ultrasound measurements can help diagnose nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a type of fatty liver disease. You may need a liver biopsy as part of routine care, and you may also be scanned with MRI to support the study tests.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT02759744Enrolling by invitation
Laser treatment for certain prostate tumors guided by MRI images
This trial tests whether a precisely targeted laser procedure—guided by MRI images—can treat prostate cancer. It may help some men who have a certain type and location of tumor while aiming to avoid nearby sensitive structures.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02871726Recruiting
Robot-assisted ultrasound biopsy of the prostate
This trial tests a robot-assisted method to take prostate tissue samples using an ultrasound probe placed through the rectum. It may help patients and doctors get clearer biopsy results when there are early warning signs of prostate problems, before a cancer diagnosis is confirmed.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 45–75 - NCT02748941Recruiting
Imaging study of narrowed neck arteries after stroke
This study looks at new imaging markers in people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery in the neck). It compares people who recently had a stroke from that artery with people who have no recent stroke, to better understand stroke risk and artery disease.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT02665923Recruiting
Testing stomach emptying after formula in babies
This study measures how quickly a baby’s stomach empties after formula feeding. It may help doctors better understand normal digestion timing in newborns and infants.
New York, New YorkAges Up to 1 year - NCT02478892Recruiting
Screening study for pancreatic cancer in inherited gene risk
This trial tests ways to screen people who have a family-passed (inherited) gene mutation linked to higher pancreatic cancer risk. The goal is to find pancreatic cancer earlier and improve how screening is done for people at increased risk.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02346929Recruiting
Hematoma Block for Broken Wrist Pain Relief
This trial studies an injection called a “hematoma block” to numb pain from a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It may help reduce pain while you’re in the emergency department.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT02151175Enrolling by invitation
Focused ultrasound to treat medication-resistant temporal lobe seizures
This trial tests a low-intensity focused ultrasound treatment aimed at reducing seizures caused by problems in one side of the hippocampus (a brain area involved in memory and seizures). It’s for people whose seizures have not responded to several seizure medicines and who have been offered a specific type of surgery.
