Brain scans to study metabolism in healthy and diabetic people
This study uses MRI brain scans at different strengths to measure how the brain uses energy (metabolism) in health and in people with genetically confirmed G1D. It may help researchers understand brain energy changes related to metabolic disease and diabetes.
New York, New YorkAges 16–80 - NCT05077579Recruiting
Alzheimer’s scan study for people with higher body weight
This study uses brain scans (MRI and two special PET scans) to see how Alzheimer’s-related changes show up in people who are overweight or obese, with different blood-sugar and insulin patterns. It may help researchers understand whether body weight and metabolism affect early Alzheimer’s markers in the brain.
St Louis, MissouriAges 40–60 - NCT05104710Recruiting
Testing brain–muscle coordination as a marker in ALS
This study measures how well your nerves and muscles work together to see if it can serve as an early sign (a “biomarker”) of ALS. It may help doctors track ALS more accurately, especially in people who already seem to have ALS based on nerve testing.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 20–90 - NCT05071898RecruitingPhase 1
Studying how genetics affect response to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs
This early-stage study looks at how genetic factors may change how people respond to a GLP-1 medicine (semaglutide). The goal is to learn who may benefit most and why, so future treatments can be better matched.
Lancaster, PennsylvaniaAges 18–89 - NCT05071937RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib plus ZEN003694 for recurrent ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining ZEN003694 with talazoparib can slow or shrink recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It is designed for people who have already been treated with a PARP inhibitor before, and it may help if that cancer comes back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05119179RecruitingPhase 4
Testing how genetics affect GLP-1 response in prediabetes
This study looks at how your genes may change how well a GLP-1–type medicine works to improve prediabetes. It focuses on adults at higher risk of developing diabetes, especially people of Mexican-American background.
Brownsville, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05132504RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy and immunotherapy for operable pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests giving chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) before surgery, to shrink or control potentially removable pancreatic cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes while making sure the cancer can still be safely removed by surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05067231Recruiting
UAB heart research biobank for adults 18 and older
This study builds a heart-focused research database by enrolling adults who are willing to provide information and/or samples for future cardiovascular research. It may help researchers study heart disease and develop better treatments over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05080699Enrolling by invitation
Peptide-based diet study for adults on home tube feeding
This study tests whether a special “peptide-based” diet helps people with obesity who rely on home tube feeding after a stroke. It aims to see if this diet is safe and beneficial for weight and overall health while you stay on the nutrition you need.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05079399Recruiting
Diabetic eye screening study using eye scans
This study looks for specific eye findings (“biomarkers”) in people with type 2 diabetes using eye imaging. It may help researchers better understand diabetic retinopathy and how to detect it earlier or more accurately.
Carmel, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05071222RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy trial for Artemis SCID using modified blood cells
This trial tests whether gene therapy can safely and effectively treat children with a specific type of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) caused by an Artemis gene problem. It uses the patient’s own stem cells, modifies them to add a missing gene, and then returns them after chemotherapy to help the new cells work.
ParisAges Up to 3.9 years - NCT05123807RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery plus heated chemotherapy for recurrent mucinous ovarian cancer
This trial studies a planned surgery to remove as much cancer as possible, followed by heated chemotherapy placed in the belly (called HIPEC). It’s for people with recurrent mucinous ovarian cancer, aiming to control the cancer and improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05126810Recruiting
Standard versus personalized counseling for TP53 test results
This trial compares standard genetic counseling with a more personalized approach for people considering or receiving TP53 genetic testing. It may help by seeing which counseling style better supports you before and after testing for a TP53 inherited change.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05132244Recruiting
Monitoring blood sugar levels in people starting pancreatic cancer treatment
This study looks at how well blood sugar (glucose) levels can be monitored and managed in people with pancreatic cancer who are starting their first treatment. It aims to understand if careful glucose management can improve well-being and possibly treatment outcomes.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05084339Recruiting
Study blood sugar and pregnancy outcomes after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at how blood sugar and related markers change during pregnancy after weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve). It also compares pregnancy outcomes, to help understand what to expect and how to monitor you during pregnancy.
AalstAges 18–45 - NCT05109936RecruitingPhase 3
Febuxostat given right away versus later for gout flare
This Phase 3 study compares starting febuxostat immediately during a gout flare versus delaying the start. It aims to see which timing helps control gout better and safely.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT05122936Enrolling by invitation
Watching obesity in people using XOWI
This study observes how obesity changes during the use of a treatment called XOWI. It may help researchers understand whether it’s safe and potentially helpful for people with higher body weight.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05097365Enrolling by invitation
Testing a methyl-donor supplement to study lupus metabolism
This study looks at whether a “methyl-donor” nutrient supplement changes metabolism (methylation) in people with lupus who are also in the childbearing age range and have low-to-moderate disease activity. It may help researchers understand why lupus acts differently in some people and how diet-related pathways could affect symptoms.
São PauloAges 18–45 - NCT05082519RecruitingPhase 2
Calorie restriction and exercise to improve leukemia treatment in young patients
This study tests whether a special diet (calorie restriction) and increased physical activity can make chemotherapy work better for young people with B-ALL. Participants will follow a monitored diet and exercise plan during their first month of treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 7–25 - NCT05092373RecruitingPhase 1
Tumor treating device plus targeted or immune drugs for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether a tumor treating fields device works better when added to standard cancer drugs. It may help people with advanced solid tumors in the chest or belly, especially when standard treatment didn’t work or can’t be tolerated.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04991103RecruitingPhase 2
Testing delaying stem cell transplant after early myeloma response
This Phase 2 study tests whether people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma can safely delay or avoid an immediate stem cell transplant if they respond well to early treatment. It aims to see if this “response-adapted” approach can still control the disease while reducing the need for upfront transplant for some patients.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05054361Recruiting
Study gut immunity changes in children with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at how a type of immune cell (MAIT cells) and the gut (microbiota and gut lining) change around the time type 1 diabetes starts in children. It may help researchers understand why type 1 diabetes begins and how the gut and immune system are connected.
