New drug combinations for advanced hormone-receptor positive breast cancer
This trial tests two new drugs (sapanisertib and serabelisib) alone or together to treat advanced breast cancer that is hormone-receptor positive. These drugs target specific pathways that help cancer grow, and the trial will see if they work better than standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07554443Recruiting

Jacksonville, FloridaAges 60 years+ - NCT07551804RecruitingPhase 2
Growth hormone replacement therapy safety and effectiveness study
This study tests a new injectable growth hormone treatment for adults whose bodies don't produce enough growth hormone naturally. Researchers will measure how safe it is, how your body processes it, and whether it helps you feel better and function more normally.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07551921Recruiting
Blood Test Validation for Phenylketonuria Monitoring
This study tests a new fingerstick blood test (PheCheck™) designed to help monitor phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare condition affecting how the body processes a protein called phenylalanine. If you or your child has PKU and are already being monitored for it, this study may help improve how your care team tracks the condition.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 1 year+ - NCT07557420RecruitingPhase 3
Ravulizumab for Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder in Chinese Adults
This study tests a new medicine called ravulizumab (an infusion) to reduce relapses in people with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), a rare condition affecting the optic nerve and spinal cord. The trial is specifically enrolling adults in China who have had recent disease activity.
BeijingAges 18–130 - NCT07553351RecruitingPhase 3
Growth hormone treatment for children with growth hormone deficiency
This trial tests a new growth hormone medicine (GB06) for children whose bodies don't make enough growth hormone naturally. The study will see if this treatment helps children grow taller over time.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 3–11 - NCT07554924RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for newly diagnosed spinal muscular atrophy type I infants
This study tests SKG0201, a new gene therapy designed to treat spinal muscular atrophy type I (SMA type I), a rare genetic condition affecting muscle strength. The trial enrolls very young infants diagnosed with SMA type I to see if the treatment is safe and helps improve muscle function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 6 months - NCT06559475Recruiting
Testing a new aspiration catheter for large vessel stroke
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
