Recruiting studies7,640 total
- NCT04464070Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Study of how your body processes natural inflammation signals
This early study looks at how the body breaks down certain natural inflammation-related chemicals (“eicosanoids”). It aims to understand normal metabolism pathways, and you may help by sharing how your body responds while you avoid certain medicines.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–65 - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04421820RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BOLD-100 with chemo for advanced gut cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether BOLD-100, given with the standard chemo combination FOLFOX, can help people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers. It’s especially focused on specific tumor features (including BRAF status) and checks safety, dosing, and early signs of effectiveness.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02714764Recruiting
Testing how best to measure outcomes in Alexander disease
This study is looking at which measurements best capture changes over time in people with Alexander disease. It may help researchers and doctors track the disease more accurately in future care and studies.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04360265Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Follow-up gene therapy study for MPS IIIA participants
This follow-up study looks at how a past gene therapy treatment (UX111) is affecting you over time. It mainly involves continued visits and safety checks, and it helps researchers understand long-term benefits and risks.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT04300556RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an antibody-drug for advanced certain cancers
This early-phase trial tests a treatment called MORAb-202, an antibody “delivery” drug, to see if it’s safe and can help shrink or control certain advanced cancers. It may help people whose tumors match the study’s specific cancer types and prior treatment history.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04348708Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up after receiving HMI 102
This study checks how people are doing long-term after they previously received a treatment called HMI 102. It may help researchers understand long-term safety and outcomes so future patients can be better supported.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–55 - NCT04288635Recruiting
Testing a nutrient supplement for energy problems in septic shock
This study looks at whether a metabolite (nutrient) supplement can help the body’s cells work better when someone is in septic shock. It is done in the ICU, and it may benefit people with sepsis who still have poor circulation and high lactate levels despite standard treatment.
Angers, Maine et LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT04334707Recruiting
Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04297592Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Antibiotics to prevent infection after hip or knee replacement
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics before and/or after surgery can lower the chance of a serious joint infection after elective hip or knee replacement. It’s aimed at people at higher risk for infection.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT04278118Recruiting
Proton radiation study for non-cancer brain tumor types
This trial tests a radiation plan that gives treatment in fewer, larger “fractions” using proton beams (or sometimes photon beams) for certain non-cancer brain tumor types. It aims to see how well this approach works while keeping side effects manageable.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04294927Recruiting
Tube removal first, then ovaries later for high-risk women
This study looks at whether removing the fallopian tubes first, and the ovaries later, is safe for women with certain inherited gene mutations that raise ovarian cancer risk. It may help you understand a prevention approach when you’re considered high risk and have finished having children.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 25–50 - NCT04367246Recruiting
TP53 (Li-Fraumeni) family biobank and sample study
This study collects and stores health information and biological samples from people who have a known TP53 change (Li-Fraumeni syndrome) and from close family members. The goal is to help researchers learn more about risks and future treatments for this genetic condition.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04284943Recruiting
Surgery for stomach cancer and diabetes
This trial tests a surgery for early-stage stomach cancer that also aims to improve type 2 diabetes by changing how your body processes food. It might be an option if you have both conditions and are not using insulin.
SeoulAges 20–69 - NCT04326192Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation to reduce stubborn back and leg pain
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation (a treatment where a device sends mild signals to the spinal cord) can improve persistent nerve-type back and leg pain. It is mainly for adults who are already planning to try spinal cord stimulation but have not tried it before.
Portland, OregonAges 21–70 - NCT04329494RecruitingPhase 1
Study of targeted drug delivery into the abdomen using PIPAC
This Phase 1 trial tests PIPAC, a way to deliver anti-cancer medicine directly into the abdomen using a minimally invasive procedure. It is for people with peritoneal spread from certain cancers to see whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04258293Recruiting
Diabetes screening for people taking steroid tablets long term
This trial checks whether people who take steroid medicines for more than 3 months are developing early diabetes, using blood tests before and around starting treatment. It may help catch diabetes sooner if it’s starting to develop, even in people who didn’t have diabetes yet.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04272697Recruiting
Registry study for familial cholesterol conditions
This trial is a global registry that collects health and genetic information from people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and sometimes from their relatives. The goal is to better understand FH and how it presents, which can help improve care for families affected by high cholesterol.
