Test mesh use for breast reconstruction above the muscle
This study tests whether using surgical mesh can be done safely and works well in breast reconstruction done right away, in front of the chest muscle (pre-pectoral) using tissue expanders. It may help improve how the reconstructed area holds up, but you’d need to meet specific surgical and health requirements.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 22–75 - NCT05142033Recruiting
Cancer or precancer testing using DNA sequencing results
This trial helps doctors study and analyze cancer- or precancer-related DNA information. If you’re 18 or older and can consent, your results may help researchers understand the biology of your condition and guide future care.
Marshall, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04636710Recruiting
Treatment approach study for stage III inflammatory breast cancer
This study looks at how to best plan local treatments (like surgery and/or radiation) for people with stage III inflammatory breast cancer. It may help doctors refine care plans for this aggressive subtype by studying how patients are treated and what outcomes they have.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05108857Enrolling by invitation
PET scan study for early active systemic sclerosis
This trial uses PET/CT scans with special tracers to look at inflammation and activity in systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) soon after symptoms begin. It may help researchers understand what’s driving active disease and where it shows up in the body.
TurkuAges 18 years+ - NCT05111561RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a two-drug combo for RAS-mutant or triple negative breast cancer
This study tests a combination of two new drugs, ZEN003694 and binimetinib, for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain gene changes (like RAS mutations) or triple negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05089890Recruiting
Sorbact dressings for hard-to-heal wounds
This trial tests a type of dressing that helps clean and heal wounds that have not improved for at least six weeks. The dressings are designed to trap and remove bacteria, which may help your wound heal faster.
MölndalAges 18 years+ - NCT05086692RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Beta-only IL-2 therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests a beta-only version of IL-2, an immune-stimulating treatment, to shrink or control advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and to see if it can help patients by improving tumor response.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05123482RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an experimental drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, called AZD8205, alone or with other medicines, for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05076760RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a cancer-killing virus with standard treatments
This Phase 1 trial tests MEM-288, an oncolytic (cancer-killing) virus, either alone or combined with standard cancer medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s designed to see how the treatment works and how safe it is in different cancer types and after specific prior therapies.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05115474RecruitingPhase 2
Screening brain MRI study for stage IV breast cancer
This trial checks whether taking screening brain MRI scans in people with stage IV breast cancer helps find brain involvement earlier. It may help guide treatment decisions for those who would otherwise only get brain imaging after symptoms start.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05085496RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus atezolizumab for advanced skin cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies adding atezolizumab (an immune therapy) to radiation for people with hard-to-remove or borderline-resectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). The goal is to see whether this combination can better control the cancer and whether the treatment is safe.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05098210RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized vaccine made from your tumor’s new immune targets
This Phase 1 study tests a customized vaccine made from “neo-antigens,” which are new targets found in your tumor. It aims to help your immune system fight certain advanced cancers that have not responded well to prior treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05126290Recruiting
Study for CTNNA1 gene family members
This study looks at people who carry a specific “loss-of-function” CTNNA1 gene change—or who are closely related to someone who does. It’s designed to better understand this genetic risk in families and may help guide future care and monitoring.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05095207RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib and bicalutamide for HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether combining abemaciclib with bicalutamide can slow or shrink HER2-negative, androgen receptor–positive (AR-positive) metastatic breast cancer. It mainly looks at safety and side effects, and also whether the combination can help patients with this type of breast cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18–90 - NCT05092373RecruitingPhase 1
Tumor treating device plus targeted or immune drugs for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether a tumor treating fields device works better when added to standard cancer drugs. It may help people with advanced solid tumors in the chest or belly, especially when standard treatment didn’t work or can’t be tolerated.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05130801RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MRI and pHLIP dye during breast surgery to map tumors
This trial tests whether a special MRI and an injected light-activated dye (pHLIP® ICG) can help doctors see and target breast cancer during surgery. You may be offered this approach around the time of breast-conserving surgery, to improve how well the tumor area is identified.
Montvale, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05067764Recruiting
Aponeurectomy for reducing Dupuytren’s disease return rate
This study looks at whether a specific hand/cord procedure called aponeurectomy can lower how often Dupuytren’s disease comes back within 2 years. You might be offered surgery and then followed to see how well your symptoms and tightness improve and how often they return.
PessacAges 18 years+ - NCT05077137RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an immune memory boost with checkpoint therapy
This early study tests whether “immune recall” (training the immune system using specific vaccine-like steps) can improve how well checkpoint drugs work for advanced melanoma. It is designed mainly to see if the approach is feasible and safe, and it may help some people respond better to PD-1 (with or without CTLA-4) treatment.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05074290RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing safety and drug levels of a breast cancer drug plus taxane
This early-phase study tests how epidiferphane works in the body and whether it is safe when combined with standard chemotherapy “taxanes” (paclitaxel or docetaxel) for breast cancer. If you qualify, you may be starting a new taxane treatment plan at the study site, and you would be followed closely for side effects and drug levels.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT05072314RecruitingPhase 3
Lidocaine drip after breast surgery to improve long-term pain
This Phase 3 study tests whether a long-running lidocaine (a numbing medicine) drip given around the time of breast surgery can improve long-term post-surgery pain and recovery. It may help people who have pain after mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery.
Kingswood, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05098704RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Clopidogrel to help prevent systemic sclerosis in high-risk people
This study tests whether the medicine clopidogrel can lower the chance of developing systemic sclerosis in adults who have certain blood antibodies and symptoms that suggest higher risk. If you qualify, you would take clopidogrel for the study to see whether it delays or prevents the disease.
BayonneAges 18–85 - NCT05079763Recruiting
Hydrogel treatment to reduce skin damage after breast radiation
This trial tests a bacterial cellulose–based gel with a soothing ingredient (monolaurin) to help prevent or lessen painful skin reactions in the area receiving breast radiation. It focuses on people who have already finished surgery and chemotherapy and are about to start a planned radiation treatment schedule.
ManilaAges 18–80 - NCT00177268Recruiting
Collecting blood and tissue samples in skin diseases research
This study collects blood, urine, and possibly small tissue samples to learn more about cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and either eczema or atopic dermatitis. It may help researchers better understand these skin conditions and improve future treatments.
