San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05539677Recruiting
Research biobank and patient registry for aggressive solid tumors
This study builds a biobank and patient registry using tumor samples and blood. It helps researchers better understand aggressive cancers and may improve future treatments by testing immune (defense) responses.
Saint PetersburgAges 1 year+ - NCT05608317Recruiting
Track healing of draining leg ulcers with a foam dressing
This study follows how a non-bordered foam dressing helps chronic leg ulcers that leak fluid (exuding). It mainly aims to see how the wound changes over time, and whether the dressing is comfortable and effective along with standard care.
