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+ - NCT04115566Recruiting
HS patient registry and sample storage study
This study enrolls people with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) to better understand the condition over time and store optional health information and samples. Being in the registry may help researchers learn about patterns in HS and support future research.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 10 years+ - NCT04122313Recruiting
Radiation after surgery for Dupuytren’s hand contracture
This trial looks at using radiation after contracture-release surgery for people with Dupuytren’s disease. It may help prevent the hand tightening from coming back and improve hand function.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04098640Enrolling by invitation
Testing tumor DNA in younger people with metastatic breast cancer
This study looks at your tumor’s molecular (DNA/biologic) features to better understand metastatic breast cancer in people under 50. You may help researchers by providing tissue samples (biopsies) for lab testing.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–50 - NCT04114136RecruitingPhase 2
Study tests pembrolizumab or nivolumab plus a diabetes-like drug
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a metabolic (diabetes-related) medicine to an immune therapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) can better control certain solid tumors. It may help people whose standard treatment would usually be pembrolizumab or nivolumab alone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03977753RecruitingPhase 4
Study medicine to treat common, plantar, or flat warts
This trial tests two versions of an at-home medicine to see how well they clear warts. Participants are randomly assigned to the study medicine or a placebo (inactive treatment) so researchers can compare results fairly.
BougeAges 3 years+ - NCT03947385RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
First drug test for metastatic uveal melanoma with specific gene changes
This Phase 1/2 trial studies IDE196 in adults with metastatic uveal melanoma that has certain gene mutations or fusions. It’s mainly testing safety and correct dosing, and may help shrink tumors in patients matched to the tumor’s genetic changes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03976622Enrolling by invitation
Inflammation study in vitiligo and other skin conditions
This study looks at inflammation in people with vitiligo, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or alopecia areata. It aims to understand how these conditions compare, which may lead to better treatments.
Bordeaux, BordeauxAges 18–75 - NCT03947450RecruitingPhase 2
Injection of your own skin cells into below-knee amputation site
This Phase 2 study tests whether injecting a patient’s own fibroblast cells (skin-support cells) into the wound area after a below-knee amputation can help the stump skin heal and work better. It’s intended for people who already have (or are close to having) a prosthetic fitting.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT04012905RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two steroid taper schedules for giant cell arteritis
This Phase 3 study compares how two standard steroid dose-reduction (tapering) schedules work for people with giant cell arteritis. It aims to see which taper approach controls the disease while reducing problems from long-term steroid use.
CaenAges 50 years+ - NCT03906253Recruiting
Laser treatment to prevent skin growth in older adults
This trial tests whether a type of laser treatment can help protect older adults’ skin from turning actinic keratosis (a sun-related precancer) into more serious skin problems. It focuses on the forearms and may help reduce future skin damage while checking safety and comfort.
Dayton, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT03942081Recruiting
Imaging test for diabetic foot wounds
This study looks at how images of a current foot wound in people with diabetes can be used to help doctors. It may help improve how foot ulcers are evaluated while you receive usual care.
Iowa City, IowaAges 21–100 - NCT03941756Recruiting
Lymph bypass before underarm node surgery to prevent swelling
This study looks at whether adding a lymph “bypass” procedure before underarm lymph node surgery can lower the chance of arm or chest swelling (lymphedema) after cancer treatment. It compares people having lymph node surgery for breast cancer with plans for radiation, and a melanoma comparison group.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03990896RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib for metastatic breast cancer with BRCA body DNA changes
This Phase 2 trial tests talazoparib, a targeted cancer medicine, in people with metastatic breast cancer that has a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation found in tumor DNA circulating in the blood. If you qualify, the goal is to see how well this treatment works when the mutation is detected this specific way.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04022616Recruiting
Study immune cells in breast cancer patients
This study looks at how certain immune cells behave in people with breast cancer. It may help researchers understand the disease and how the immune system affects it.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03909282Recruiting
Surgery now versus radiation then delayed surgery for DCIS
This trial compares two approaches for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): having surgery first versus getting radiation first and then having surgery later. It aims to see which plan controls DCIS better while affecting treatment timing and outcomes.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03897270Recruiting
Breast cancer or healthy women for new breast imaging
This study tests a new way to look at the breast using photoacoustic imaging, alongside a breast MRI. It may help researchers see breast masses more clearly, even though it’s mainly for measuring how well the imaging works.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03936478RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided partial breast radiation in three short treatments
This study tests a faster, targeted type of radiation for early breast cancer, using real-time MRI to help plan and guide treatment. It may help deliver the same cancer-fighting effect while limiting radiation to the rest of the breast.
Madison, WisconsinAges 40 years+ - NCT03967600Recruiting
Study of hidradenitis suppurativa skin features
This study looks at the physical and biological (body-related) characteristics of hidradenitis suppurativa. It may help researchers understand the condition better and improve future care.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 13 years+ - NCT04003038Recruiting
Negative pressure wound dressings after breast reconstruction in obesity
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT01241305Recruiting
One-Time DNA Study for Different Types of Vasculitis
This trial collects a one-time DNA sample to better understand vasculitis, which are illnesses where blood vessels become inflamed. It may help researchers find why these conditions happen and how they differ across people.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 7 years+ - NCT02967068Recruiting
Share your study tissue for future research
This study is a “tissue repository” that collects and stores leftover tissue from other approved VCRC studies. If you already took part in one of those studies, you may be able to let researchers use your tissue to help answer future questions.
