MOVE: TGCT patient experience with vimseltinib
This study is collecting real-world data from people with TGCT who have been prescribed vimseltinib. It is not testing the drug itself — it simply tracks your experience to help doctors understand how the treatment works outside of a clinical trial.
Wilmington, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07729423Recruiting
Mepitel Film for skin protection during breast radiation
This trial tests if a special film placed on the skin can reduce radiation side effects in people who have had breast cancer surgery and are now getting radiation therapy.

Testing more frequent VCN-01 with standard chemo for new pancreatic cancer
This study tests a more frequent schedule of the experimental drug VCN-01 along with standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine) for people newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if the virus-based therapy can help shrink tumors better.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07407062Recruiting
Study of folate receptor alpha in ovarian cancer tissue
This study looks at a marker called folate receptor alpha in tissue samples from people with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has returned. The goal is to see how common this marker is, which may help guide future treatment options.
Rome, RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07436637Recruiting
Blood test for colorectal cancer screening
This trial is testing a blood test called Guardant Shield to see if it can effectively screen for colorectal cancer (a common cancer of the colon or rectum). If you're between 45 and 85 and overdue for a screening, this test could be a simpler alternative to colonoscopy or stool tests.
Miami, FloridaAges 45–85 - NCT07043608RecruitingPhase 2
