Pancreatic cancer vaccine with chemotherapy before/around surgery
This early-stage trial tests a personalized immune “vaccine” made from dendritic cells, given alongside standard chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer that may be removable by surgery (resectable or borderline resectable). If it works, it may help your immune system better recognize and attack the cancer around the time of treatment.

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03402919Recruiting
Brain and memory study for people with thinking changes
This study looks at memory and thinking changes using questionnaires, memory testing, and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand neurodegeneration and dementia and how these problems show up over time.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 50–90 - NCT03957928Recruiting
Mango pulp study for hunger and heart-health markers
This study tests whether eating fresh mango pulp can make you feel fuller (less hungry) and improve “heart-health” measurements. It may help people who are interested in diet changes, especially those with higher body weight and related health risks.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT04074135RecruitingPhase 2
Study of pancreatic tumors in people with VHL
This trial studies the natural course and management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in people with von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease. It may help doctors better predict how these pancreatic findings change over time and how to manage them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT04058639Recruiting
Custom felt dressing trial for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests whether a special padded (felt) dressing can help heal diabetic foot ulcers with nerve-related injury. If you have a foot wound caused by diabetic nerve problems, the study may offer a shorter treatment time.
MoldeAges 45–80 - NCT04101669Recruiting
Weight-loss liner implant for type 2 diabetes
This study tests an implantable device called the RESET System that may help people with type 2 diabetes lose weight and improve blood sugar control. It is placed in the stomach without surgery and is for adults aged 22 to 65 who are overweight and have not had enough improvement with diabetes medications.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 22–65 - NCT04055649RecruitingPhase 2
Test of ONC201 and weekly paclitaxel for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether ONC201 given with weekly paclitaxel can control platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help by shrinking tumors or slowing growth in people whose cancer has progressed after platinum chemotherapy.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04053478Recruiting
Testing common blood-pressure drugs on uterine and umbilical muscle
This study tests how several medicines used for blood pressure affect muscle “tightening” in tissue taken during planned C-sections. It’s an in-vitro (lab) study, so it mainly helps doctors understand how to prevent weak uterine contractions (uterine atony) during delivery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19–40 - NCT04038619RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant for immune-therapy diarrhea or bowel inflammation
This early-phase study tests whether stool/fecal microbiota transplant (a fecal transplant) can help people who develop significant diarrhea or colitis after immune-checkpoint therapy. It aims to reduce bowel inflammation and improve symptoms, while carefully checking for infections.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04104529Recruiting
Research database for metabolic radiotherapy patients
This study creates a database of information and blood samples from patients receiving a type of treatment called metabolic radiotherapy for certain cancers, like thyroid, neuroendocrine, or prostate cancer. It aims to improve understanding and care for future patients.
Bordeaux, AquitaineAges 18 years+ - NCT04096014Recruiting
Protein supplement at night to prevent repeat brain episodes
This study tests whether taking extra protein in the late evening or early morning can lower the chance of being readmitted for hepatic encephalopathy, a brain problem that can happen with liver disease. It may help by supporting safer nutrition and reducing the risk of another hospitalization.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT04049331RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone therapy for cancer survivors with fatigue
This trial tests whether testosterone replacement can help male cancer survivors who have ongoing fatigue and low testosterone levels. It is for men who have completed chemotherapy or radiation and are cancer-free for at least a year.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–54 - NCT04124848Recruiting
Sleep apnea study for Somali community adults
This study looks at obstructive sleep apnea—breathing pauses or poor breathing during sleep—in Somali community members. It aims to learn more about sleep apnea in this specific group, which can help guide better care.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04075305Recruiting
Study measuring radiation treatment outcomes with an MR-Linac
This study follows what happens when radiation treatment is guided using an MR-Linac (a special machine that combines MRI imaging with radiation). It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned and assessed, especially for people who can safely have MRI scans.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04097158Recruiting
Study of blood markers in ALS people taking edaravone
This trial studies blood or other lab markers in people with ALS, including different ALS patterns, to better understand how the disease works and responds to treatment with edaravone. You may be helped by close monitoring, and the results may guide future ALS care.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT04048278RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Lidocaine IV infusion for pancreatic cancer treatment
This early-phase study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV infusion can help treat pancreatic cancer. It will enroll people with confirmed pancreatic cancer that can be measured on scans, including some cases discovered to have spread during surgery.

Testing an oxygen sensor during exercise in muscle disease
This early (Phase 1) study checks whether a tiny oxygen-sensing device works reliably while people with mitochondrial muscle disease (and some healthy volunteers) ride a stationary bike. The goal is to see if the sensor can measure oxygen use during exercise and help future monitoring or research.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT04046562Recruiting
Testing a teen pain-and-weight program
This trial studies a program meant to help teens manage weight when they also have ongoing muscle or joint pain. It may help by targeting pain feelings and supporting healthier weight habits at the same time.
