Breast cancer database for people with breast cancer
This study collects information from people diagnosed with breast cancer to help researchers understand outcomes and treatment patterns. You may or may not receive a new treatment—often it’s about using existing clinical data.
Marseille, Bouches du RhoneAges 18 years+ - NCT02870244RecruitingPhase 1
Engineered T-cell therapy for advanced melanoma patients
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment for advanced melanoma. It aims to see if engineered T-cells can recognize the patient’s tumor and help control the cancer, especially in specific melanoma tissue markers.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 18–89 - NCT03004326Recruiting
Biopsy study to test skin inflammation gene signals
This study uses a skin biopsy to look at “gene signals” (transcriptomics) in patients with active vasculitis that shows up on the skin. It may help researchers understand what is happening in your disease and how different types of vasculitis differ.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 5 years+ - NCT02954939Recruiting
Test medicines to change immune cells in lupus kidney flare
This study tests whether mycophenolate mofetil and cyclophosphamide can improve active lupus kidney inflammation by changing immune cell patterns in your blood. It may help patients whose lupus nephritis is currently active, shown by worsening urine protein and/or kidney blood tests.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT03155854Recruiting
Surgery to prevent scarring in trigger finger
This study looks at whether doing a limited surgery in advance can improve outcomes and reduce scarring for people with trigger finger who also have a specific palm cord condition. It may help you heal better if you’ve already tried non-surgical treatment or chose surgery.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT02977468RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab for early triple-negative breast cancer tumor changes
This Phase 1 study tests pembrolizumab (an immune medicine) to see how it affects the tumor and its surroundings in triple-negative breast cancer. It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs of benefit, especially in a limited, early-stage breast tumor.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 21–80 - NCT03358693Recruiting
Study of inflammation patterns in chronic skin diseases
This study looks at molecular (body-level) signatures in people with chronic inflammatory skin conditions. You may help researchers understand what drives inflammation, while receiving standard (already approved) systemic treatment through routine care.
KielAges Any age - NCT02945345Recruiting
Test how skin scores change in cutaneous dermatomyositis
This study looks at how well skin symptoms improve in adults with cutaneous dermatomyositis by using a specific skin-scoring tool. The results may help doctors better measure treatment response and guide care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03087253Recruiting
Study of what causes and affects lipodystrophy
This study observes people with lipodystrophy to better understand how the condition develops and affects the body over time. It may help researchers learn who is most affected and guide future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT02926690RecruitingPhase 1
MELK inhibitor safety study for advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how safe a drug called an MELK inhibitor is in people with advanced breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. If you qualify, the study is focused on side effects and includes a special group for triple-negative breast cancer.
Norwalk, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT03024671Recruiting
Skin patch testing for how cosmetics affect skin
This trial studies how certain cosmetics affect skin by using a patch test on your back. You might help researchers understand which products are less likely to cause skin reactions.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT02998710Recruiting
Natural history study for homocystinuria due to CBS deficiency
This study mainly observes what happens in people with homocystinuria caused by a CBS gene deficiency over time. It helps doctors better understand the condition’s natural course and may guide future treatments.
Culver City, CaliforniaAges 1–65 - NCT03357120Recruiting
Using blood DNA to assess response after breast cancer chemotherapy
This study checks whether a blood test that looks for “tumor DNA” (circulating tumor DNA) can help evaluate how well neoadjuvant chemotherapy worked for breast cancer. It may help doctors better understand treatment response after surgery.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT02939573RecruitingPhase 2
Study of medicines for skin-only vasculitis flares
This Phase 2 trial tests different medicines to calm active skin vasculitis and prevent flare-ups. It’s for people whose vasculitis mainly affects the skin, not major organs like kidneys or the brain.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT02945579Recruiting
Testing skipping breast surgery or radiation for top responders
This trial studies whether some people with early-stage breast cancer who respond extremely well to hormone/chemo/targeted treatment can safely skip breast surgery and/or radiation. It aims to reduce side effects without increasing cancer risk in carefully selected patients.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 30 years+ - NCT03321045RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan to predict benefit from HER2-targeted breast cancer therapy
This early-phase study uses a special PET scan with a drug tagged for imaging to predict how well HER2-targeted treatments will work. It may help doctors choose the most effective therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07010250Recruiting
Kidney Energy Use and Scarring in ANCA Vasculitis
This study looks at how kidney cells use energy and how that leads to scarring in people with ANCA vasculitis. It compares findings with people who have other kidney diseases to better understand and possibly treat kidney damage.
ParisAges 18–90 - NCT06201416RecruitingPhase 1
Single dose of SBT777101 for rheumatoid arthritis
This study tests a single dose of an experimental drug called SBT777101 for people with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have already tried and failed at least two advanced treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and how the body handles it.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–70 - NCT06748404RecruitingPhase 2
TriCalm Hydrogel for Itching from Immunotherapy
This trial tests a gel called TriCalm Hydrogel to see if it helps reduce itching caused by immunotherapy cancer treatment. If you have itching from your immunotherapy, this study might offer relief.
