- NCT03093909RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing treatment with gemcitabine for lung cancer spread
This early-stage trial studies an inhaled (aerosol) form of gemcitabine to treat solid tumors that have spread to the lungs. It aims to see whether this lung-focused treatment is safe and how well it might work when standard curative options are not available.

SL-401 with standard drugs for hard-to-treat blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests SL-401, given with azacitidine and sometimes venetoclax, to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can improve blood cancer control.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03116412Recruiting
Imaging check-ups after melanoma surgery trial
This trial studies whether adding or adjusting imaging scans during follow-up after melanoma surgery can help detect recurrence earlier. It compares different follow-up imaging schedules for people at higher risk after surgery.
BoråsAges 18 years+ - NCT03124212Recruiting
Genetic testing guidance for inherited breast, ovarian, or colon cancer risk
This study helps people in Switzerland who already have a known inherited cancer gene change understand what it means for them and their family. It focuses on people with specific known mutations related to hereditary breast/ovarian cancer and Lynch syndrome.
Fribourg, Canton of FribourgAges 18 years+ - NCT03125655Recruiting
Study of gene regulation in psoriasis skin
This study looks at how inflammation-related genes behave in people with psoriasis. It may help researchers understand why psoriasis flares and how it could be better treated.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 19–99 - NCT03138941Recruiting
Checking if a lupus control definition fits Asia-Pacific patients
This study tests whether a specific lupus “low disease activity” target (called LLDAS) works the same way in people across the Asia-Pacific region. It may help doctors use clearer goals to track how well lupus is controlled.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT03150576RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Before-surgery treatment for triple-negative or BRCA breast cancer
This trial tests an “at-the-source” medicine given before surgery to shrink triple-negative and/or BRCA-related breast cancer. It may help doctors see whether it improves tumor response and reduces cancer spread at surgery time.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 16–70 - NCT03146676Recruiting
OSU Dermatology Biorepository for donated skin tissue and data
This study collects and stores skin samples and related health information from people seen in OSU Dermatology clinics. It helps researchers better understand skin conditions and may lead to new treatments in the future.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT03201861RecruitingPhase 3
Cisplatin added after surgery for high-risk breast cancer
This trial checks whether adding cisplatin to standard chemotherapy after surgery helps women with high-risk early-stage breast cancer lower the chance of the cancer coming back. You would be followed to see how well treatment works and whether it is tolerated.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT03211793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell treatment for painful hand sores in systemic sclerosis
This trial tests a cell-based treatment (mesenchymal stromal cells) to help heal painful finger/toe ulcers in people with systemic sclerosis. It is for ulcers that did not improve after a specific IV medicine called prostacyclins.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT03248284Recruiting
Study of inflammation in Achilles tendons in psoriatic arthritis
This trial studies people with psoriatic arthritis who have painful Achilles tendon insertion with signs of inflammation on ultrasound. It may help researchers better understand what drives tendon inflammation and how it can be treated.
OdenseAges 18–70 - NCT03245801Recruiting
Juvenile arthritis registry for newly diagnosed children
This study collects information about children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) soon after diagnosis. The information helps researchers understand how the condition and treatments change over time, and it may guide future care.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Up to 18 years - NCT03276923Recruiting
Pregnancy registry for women with autoimmune disease
This study is a pregnancy and health registry for women with autoimmune (immune system) conditions who are trying to become pregnant or are already pregnant. It helps researchers better understand pregnancy outcomes and health needs in autoimmune disease.
Durham, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT03265379Recruiting
Registry study for breast cancer invading the chest wall
This study follows people with breast cancer that has spread into the chest wall who are planning full-thickness chest wall surgery. It aims to improve quality of life by collecting real-world information during and after treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03269630Recruiting
Pulmonary hypertension biobank for heart-lung blood samples
This study collects and stores health information and possibly blood samples from people being evaluated for pulmonary hypertension or related autoimmune conditions. It helps researchers learn more about these illnesses and may support future studies.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT03297775Recruiting
Studying rheumatoid arthritis treatment risks for lung scarring
This trial is for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are at risk for developing interstitial lung disease, which is scarring in the lungs. It aims to better understand why this happens and how to help prevent or manage it.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 45–90 - NCT03315468Recruiting
Melanoma patient study in France database
This study collects information from people with melanoma (skin cancer), at any stage. It may help researchers better understand melanoma and improve future care.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT03326921RecruitingPhase 1
T cell treatment for leukemia after a bone marrow transplant
This early-phase trial tests an immune “T cell” therapy made to recognize a specific leukemia target. It is for people whose acute leukemia has come back (relapsed) or did not fully respond after receiving a donor stem cell transplant.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 80 years - NCT03337932Recruiting
Shorter doxycycline course for multiple early Lyme skin rashes
This study looks at how long to take doxycycline for people who have multiple early Lyme disease skin rashes. It may help find the shortest effective treatment duration while keeping side effects low.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT03333200Recruiting
Study of genetic brain diseases over time
This trial follows people with genetic neurodegenerative (brain-wasting) disorders over time to better understand how the condition changes. The goal is to learn patterns that could help future treatments or care plans.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT03340129RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus focused brain radiation for melanoma spread
This trial studies whether giving the immunotherapy drug nivolumab together with targeted brain radiation (not whole-brain radiation) helps people with melanoma that has spread to the brain. It aims to improve brain control while keeping side effects manageable.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–120 - NCT03361215Recruiting
Tracking skin disease patterns and anti-inflammatory response
This study looks at how atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, or other autoimmune skin diseases change over time and how the body responds to anti-inflammatory signals. Your information and—if eligible—samples help researchers find patterns that could guide better treatments.
KielAges birth–100 years - NCT03372980Recruiting
Study registry of blood tests for Takayasu arteritis
This study collects information and blood samples (biomarkers) to better understand Takayasu arteritis and how active it is. It may help researchers find tests that support diagnosis and track disease activity.

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.
