KIN-2787 for advanced solid tumors with BRAF or NRAS mutations
This trial tests a new drug, KIN-2787, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific changes (mutations) in the BRAF or NRAS genes. The drug is designed to target these changes and may help shrink or control the tumor.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04894643Recruiting
Pre-surgery proton radiation plus chemo for borderline pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether giving proton radiation and chemotherapy before surgery can shrink or control “borderline resectable” pancreatic cancer so it can be removed more effectively. It may help by improving treatment response while planning for surgery afterward.
Wiener Neustadt, Lower AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04874012RecruitingPhase 2
Taurine supplement study for blood sugar, fats, and inflammation
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking taurine affects blood sugar control, cholesterol/fats, and inflammation in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help by improving these lab markers, which are linked to long-term health risks.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 30–80 - NCT04883515Recruiting
Glutamine drink for insulin resistance and bowel symptoms
This trial studies whether taking an oral glutamine supplement can improve insulin resistance and reduce bowel-related problems in people with obesity and irritable bowel syndrome. It may help your blood sugar regulation and digestive comfort if you meet the criteria.
RouenAges 18–65 - NCT04894838Recruiting
Testing a bypass revision surgery for weight regain
This study looks at whether a specific stomach bypass revision (a “distal gastric bypass”) can improve outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass when weight loss was not enough or weight was regained. You may be considered if you meet weight-loss goals criteria and can join follow-up and possibly surgery.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18–65 - NCT04913649RecruitingPhase 4
IV iron for anemia after heart surgery in older adults
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery helps treat postoperative anemia (low red blood cells) in people age 70 and older. It may improve recovery by correcting low iron levels after surgery.
BredaAges 70 years+ - NCT04892303RecruitingPhase 1
Planning treatment using radiation plus radioactive iodine for thyroid cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how doctors plan a combination of two radiation approaches—external beam radiation and radioactive iodine—for thyroid cancer that is not fully responding to standard treatment. It may help people who still have iodine-avid tumor spots, but whose iodine uptake looks too low to work well with radioactive iodine alone.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT04856488RecruitingPhase 3
Lugol’s iodine solution before thyroid surgery for overactive thyroid
This trial tests whether taking Lugol’s iodine solution before thyroid surgery is safe and helpful for people with Graves’ disease or toxic nodular goiter (overactive thyroid). It may be aimed at improving surgical readiness and outcomes by reducing thyroid activity before the operation.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges 18–75 - NCT04916990Recruiting
Care program for rural adults with several lung and head cancers
This study looks at how to improve care for adults with certain cancers who live in rural areas and may face access problems. It mainly focuses on people receiving cancer treatment at specific Colorado-area hospitals, and who are uninsured or underinsured.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT04893226Recruiting
Time-restricted eating for postmenopausal metabolic risk
This trial studies whether limiting when you eat each day can improve blood sugar and other health markers in postmenopausal women with prediabetes or metabolic risk factors. It may help your body’s metabolism if your sleep and daily routine can stay fairly consistent.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 45–65 - NCT04919629RecruitingPhase 2
Tested treatments for recurrent ovarian cancer with fluid buildup
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding two medicines—APL-2 plus pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab plus bevacizumab—works better than bevacizumab alone for recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It also focuses on people who have symptoms from cancer-related fluid (ascites or pleural effusion).
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04856059Recruiting
MRI study for early heart changes in Fabry disease
This study looks at early structural and tissue changes in the heart using a special type of MRI scan in adults with Fabry disease. It may help doctors understand changes earlier and better track heart involvement over time.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04923087Recruiting
Sound and eating pleasure study for older adults
This trial tests if listening to sounds while eating can make the experience more enjoyable for older adults in hospitals or nursing homes. If you are 65 or older and can safely eat cookies, you may be eligible.
NiceAges 65 years+ - NCT04903223RecruitingPhase 1
Testing how fat in the liver affects statin use in kids
This early study tests whether “liver fat” changes how a statin (rosuvastatin) works in children and teens. It may help doctors choose safer or more effective dosing in kids based on biology and a specific genetics marker.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 8–21 - NCT04896281Recruiting
Phenylalanine-free diet study for ICU adults with high phenylalanine
This study tests whether a phenylalanine-free diet is helpful for ICU patients with high phenylalanine levels in the blood. It aims to see if changing diet in critically ill adults can improve outcomes during their ICU stay.
KeelungAges 20 years+ - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can improve pain and other day-to-day symptoms in people with certain gastrointestinal cancers. You’d use VR for pain relief while researchers measure how you’re feeling.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT04922333RecruitingPhase 3
Bisphosphonate to prevent bone loss after sleeve weight-loss surgery
This study looks at whether a bisphosphonate medicine can reduce bone loss after sleeve gastrectomy (a type of weight-loss surgery). If you had the surgery, it may help protect your bones while you recover and lose weight.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 30 years+ - NCT04897321RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy for children with B7-H3 solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a lab-made immune therapy (CAR T cells) made from your own cells to treat children’s solid tumors that have a specific marker called B7-H3. It is designed for kids whose cancer has come back or did not respond to standard treatment, aiming to shrink tumors and keep the therapy safe.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 years - NCT04910841Recruiting
Testing a glucose-monitoring device in septic shock ICU
This trial checks whether a continuous glucose monitoring system (“CGM GUARDIAN 2”) can be used safely and effectively for people in the ICU who have septic shock and high blood sugar. It may help the medical team track blood sugar more easily while you receive insulin.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT04867317RecruitingPhase 3
Growth hormone treatment for veterans with mild traumatic brain injury and hormone deficiency
This study tests whether giving growth hormone, a natural substance that helps the body grow and repair tissues, can improve symptoms in veterans who have both a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) and a deficiency in growth hormone. If you qualify, you may receive the treatment or a placebo (inactive shot), and the study will track your quality of life and symptoms over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21–55 - NCT04887688Recruiting
