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+ - NCT01423981Recruiting
Online survey on keloid history and experiences
This study uses an online survey to learn about people’s keloid condition over time. It may help researchers better understand what living with keloids is like and what factors relate to changes.
New York, New YorkAges 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 - NCT03392233RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for spinal metastases causing significant pain
This trial tests a focused form of radiation (stereotactic body radiation) to treat cancer spread to the spine, especially when it causes substantial pain. It may help shrink or control the spinal spots while limiting damage to surrounding tissues.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT03561740RecruitingPhase 3
Capecitabine plus usual treatment for high-risk HER2 breast cancer
This trial looks at whether adding a chemotherapy medicine called capecitabine (taken in smaller, regular doses) to the standard after-surgery (adjuvant) treatment can lower the chance of cancer coming back in people with early-stage, high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer. It targets patients who still had cancer left after earlier treatment or who had higher-risk tumor features.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT03770702RecruitingPhase 3
Testing blood pressure pills and statins for rheumatoid arthritis
This trial studies whether taking a cholesterol-lowering medicine (a statin) and a blood pressure medicine (an ARB) can better control rheumatoid arthritis activity. It may help people whose rheumatoid symptoms are not fully controlled with standard care.
TantaAges 18–65 - NCT02321423Recruiting
Research registry for pachyonychia congenita patients
This study builds an international database of people with pachyonychia congenita (or a closely related condition). Sharing your information may help researchers understand the condition better and improve future treatments.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges Any age - NCT03793348Recruiting
Micro-coring device to improve moderate to severe facial wrinkles
This study tests a device that removes tiny skin cores (“micro-coring”) to improve moderate to severe wrinkles on the face, especially the cheeks. It mainly checks safety and whether skin texture looks better after treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 40–70 - NCT03770923RecruitingPhase 3
Testing medicines for rheumatoid arthritis activity
This trial studies whether certain medicines can improve how active rheumatoid arthritis is. If you have rheumatoid arthritis and do not have significant liver or kidney problems, you may be able to join.
TantaAges 18 years+ - NCT03782038Recruiting
Micro-coring device study for non-keloid scar improvement
This trial tests whether a tiny “micro-coring” device can improve the look of scars. It enrolls adults with certain skin types who have not recently treated the scar and who can safely use numbing medicine used in the procedure.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03392337Recruiting
Narrowband UVB light therapy for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis
This study tests whether narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) light given three times a week for 12 weeks improves moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. It is an “open-label” pilot, meaning everyone gets the UVB treatment and researchers track how your skin responds.
East Windsor, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT03827876RecruitingPhase 4
Enstilar added to Enbrel or Humira for plaque psoriasis
This trial tests whether adding Enstilar (a skin spray/foam medication) on top of your usual injection—Enbrel or Humira—works better for plaque psoriasis. You might be a candidate if your psoriasis affects a moderate amount of skin and you’ve been on Enbrel or Humira long enough.
East Windsor, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT03473912Recruiting
Rheumatoid disease biobank study for adults
This study asks adults with a rheumatoid condition to join a biobank, which is a safe place to store health information and biological samples for future research. It may help researchers better understand rheumatoid conditions and develop better treatments.
Kfar SabaAges 18–120 - NCT03883269RecruitingPhase 4
Tests topical antibiotics’ anti-inflammatory effect in acne
This trial studies whether putting antibiotic creams on mild-to-moderate facial acne reduces inflammation. It may help answer whether topical erythromycin or clindamycin can improve acne-related redness and swelling.
LeidenAges 18–45 - NCT03913962Recruiting
Exercise study for children with chronic or autoimmune conditions
This study looks at how physical activity affects muscle, metabolism (how your body uses energy), and body composition in children with certain chronic or autoimmune conditions. It may help doctors understand what types of exercise and monitoring are most beneficial and safe.
Clermont-FerrandAges 6–18 - NCT04025164Recruiting
Shorter vs standard breast radiation after lumpectomy
This study compares a shorter course of radiation to a standard longer course after breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy). It’s meant to see which schedule works just as well while focusing on safety and cancer control.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–70 - NCT04042857Recruiting
Gel treatment for toenail fungus
This trial tests how well and how safely an antifungal gel works for toenail fungus in adults. You may be able to join if your toenail fungus is confirmed with lab tests and you can follow the study rules during the study.
South Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03975322Recruiting
Predict which oral white patches may turn cancerous
This study looks at oral leukoplakia (persistent white patches in the mouth) to better predict which ones may develop into cancer. It uses a test based on specific immune and cancer-related markers to help estimate each person’s risk.
ErlangenAges 18–80 - NCT04172753Recruiting
Online MRI-guided radiation therapy on a 1.5T machine
This trial checks whether it’s practical and safe to deliver radiation treatment using real-time MRI guidance, with the process supported online. It may help patients whose doctors recommend radiation by testing a modern way to plan and deliver treatment more precisely.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT04356235Recruiting
Comparing immediate vs delayed breast implant reconstruction results
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast with implants, looking at cosmetic results, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help you understand which approach could fit you better and what to expect over follow-up time.
BudapestAges 18–65 - NCT03929887Recruiting
Kidney biopsy patients join a kidney tissue research bank
This study builds a kidney tissue “library” to help researchers analyze kidney disease in newer ways. It may help by improving how glomerular (kidney filter) diseases are understood over time, using samples from people who already had a biopsy.
ChuncheonAges Any age - NCT03526159RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gentamicin treatment for certain skin blistering disease
This trial tests gentamicin, an antibiotic, for junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) caused by a specific kind of genetic change in the LAMB3 gene. It may help some people with this exact mutation, but you must meet several safety and genetic requirements to join.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04347473RecruitingPhase 4
ILUMYA plus halobetasol ointment for plaque psoriasis
This trial studies whether ILUMYA (an injection) working together with halobetasol ointment helps control moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. It is meant for adults whose psoriasis is significant enough that they may need light therapy (phototherapy) and/or pills/injections (systemic therapy).
East Windsor, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04119102RecruitingPhase 4
Duobrii added to biologic treatment for plaque psoriasis
This trial tests whether adding Duobrii (a prescription psoriasis lotion) on top of your current biologic treatment helps improve plaque psoriasis. It includes adults whose psoriasis is in a moderate range and who have already been on a biologic for at least 24 weeks.
East Windsor, New JerseyAges 18 years+
