Testing how long to take PD-1 therapy for melanoma
This trial studies whether people with metastatic melanoma should take PD-1 immunotherapy continuously or only for a limited time. It aims to find a schedule that keeps the cancer under control while possibly reducing treatment burden.
Victoria, MilduraAges 18 years+ - NCT02707341Recruiting
Psoriasis patient registry to help researchers study treatments
This registry collects information from adults with psoriasis to better understand how psoriasis affects people and how treatments are used in real life. It may help future research and improve knowledge about treatment patterns and outcomes.
Waltham, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03007589Enrolling by invitation
Compare sunscreen and fabric protection in real sunlight
This study tests how well different sunscreens and fabric coverings protect skin from sun damage. You may take part in controlled sun exposure and a next-day skin check to see which products work best.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 15–90 - 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+ - NCT02716246RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Gene therapy for MPS IIIA to slow brain decline
This trial tests a gene-transfer treatment (delivered into the spinal fluid) for children with MPS IIIA, a rare genetic condition. It aims to improve or slow down brain and developmental changes caused by a missing enzyme.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT02830724RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T therapy using blood immune cells for CD70 cancers
This trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR T) built from your own blood lymphocytes. It targets cancers that show a marker called CD70, aiming to slow or stop the cancer when other treatments didn’t work.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT02974595Recruiting
Study of rare inflammatory conditions to learn what causes them
This study follows people with rare “autoinflammatory” conditions and sometimes their blood relatives to understand why symptoms happen and how they change over time. It may help by improving diagnosis and care for these conditions, using stored samples and genetic testing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Up to 99 years - NCT02753777Recruiting
Study for blistering autoimmune skin diseases
This study is for adults with certain autoimmune blistering skin conditions. Researchers want to better understand and test treatments that could improve symptoms and healing for people with these specific diseases.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03017573Recruiting
Cancer biobank study linking tumor, immune system, and environment
This study collects tumor and related samples from people with certain newly diagnosed cancers. Researchers use these samples to better understand how cancer cells, the surrounding tissue, and the immune system interact, which may guide better future treatments.
BordeauxAges 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+ - NCT02772367Recruiting
Make heart muscle cells from blood or skin in breast cancer
This study grows heart muscle cells from your blood or skin to better understand why some people develop heart problems from HER2 cancer treatments. You may be helping researchers learn how to predict and prevent treatment-related heart damage.
New York, New YorkAges 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+ - NCT03003572Recruiting
Test an immune marker in primary Sjögren’s disease activity
This study looks at an immune reaction (called anti-Ro/SSA IgE) to see how active primary Sjögren’s disease is. It may help doctors better understand what’s driving symptoms and activity levels over time.
BourgoinAges 18 years+ - NCT02996656Recruiting
Antibiotic prevention for skin bacteria in shoulder surgery
This study checks whether giving an antibiotic “ahead of surgery” can reduce problems from common skin bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) during primary shoulder surgery. It may help lower the risk of infection around the new joint/repair.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT02720679Recruiting
Study genetics behind blood disorders in children and families
This study looks at genetic (DNA) factors that may contribute to certain blood disorders. You may be invited if you or a close family member is receiving care for a blood condition like MDS or MPN, and the study also includes related relatives.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT02819882Recruiting
Registry study for advanced or metastatic breast cancer
This study collects health and treatment information from people with breast cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery or that has spread to other parts of the body. It may help researchers better understand which treatments are used and how people do over time.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT03011684RecruitingPhase 3
Preserve eggs using tamoxifen and letrozole during new breast cancer treatment
This study tests whether taking tamoxifen and letrozole (with fertility injections) can help people with newly diagnosed, estrogen-sensitive breast cancer preserve eggs before cancer treatment starts. It may help protect future fertility by collecting eggs early, before chemotherapy or other treatments begin.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT02732171Recruiting
Blood and bone marrow tests to track breast cancer return
This trial checks whether specific “surveillance” markers (measured from blood and bone marrow) can help predict if breast cancer comes back after standard treatments. It may help doctors monitor you more accurately and earlier if recurrence risk is high.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02918032Recruiting
Registry study for triglyceride storage heart and blood vessel disease
This is a registry study that collects health information from people diagnosed with neutral lipid storage disease (NLSD) or triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (TGCV). It may help researchers better understand the condition and improve future care plans.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT02743858Recruiting
Watch swelling study after breast lymph node surgery
This study looks at how and when swelling (lymphedema) happens after breast cancer surgery on the armpit lymph nodes. You may be followed closely after your planned one-sided procedure to better understand who gets swelling and how it changes over time.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT02906943Recruiting
Testing cancer tissue to guide targeted treatment choices
This trial studies advanced solid tumors by using stored tumor samples to look for molecular clues. The goal is to help doctors better choose cancer treatments that may work for your specific tumor.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02945345Recruiting

Registry for people at high risk for pancreatic cancer
This study is a registry (a way to track health over time) for people with a strong family history or certain inherited genetic risks for pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors learn how best to monitor and protect high-risk people, and to see who benefits most from follow-up.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02895165Recruiting
