Step-up and step-down treatment for newly diagnosed arthritis
This Phase 3 study tests whether children with early juvenile idiopathic arthritis do better by starting with one treatment approach and adjusting (stepping up or stepping down) based on how their arthritis responds. It may help find the safest, most effective long-term plan for controlling symptoms with fewer side effects.
Genova, GEAges 2–17 - NCT03730922Recruiting
Delayed vs immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy and radiation
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast after mastectomy followed by radiation: a reconstruction done later (delayed) versus one done sooner (delayed-immediate). The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for recovery after treatment.
AabenraaAges 18 years+ - NCT03740256RecruitingPhase 1
HER2-targeted oncolytic virus plus custom immune cells for solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan that combines a virus designed to attack cancer with your own custom immune cells that target HER2. It aims to shrink advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (and make future options safer/more effective).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03740893RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug to block DNA damage in triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a treatment given around the time of breast surgery to help shrink or control residual (remaining) triple-negative breast cancer. It also checks biomarkers (lab signals) to understand who benefits, with some people receiving anti–PD-L1 immunotherapy and some not.
Bournemouth, DorsetAges 18 years+ - NCT03740503Recruiting
Study genes in people who respond unusually to treatment
This study looks at stored tumor samples to understand why some people respond much better or much worse than expected. The goal is to learn what the tumor’s genes might be telling doctors about response to treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03758976Recruiting
Study of scans in advanced breast cancer recurrence
This study looks at people with advanced breast cancer to better understand recurrence by using information from recent scans. It may help researchers improve how advanced disease is assessed and followed over time.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT03755739RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Checkpoint cancer drug given into or near tumors
This trial studies whether giving immunotherapy “checkpoint inhibitor” medicine directly into the tumor area (and/or the artery feeding it), along with a chemotherapy-style drug, can work better for advanced solid tumors. It aims to boost the immune system’s ability to attack cancer while still being safe for people with measurable tumors.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT03769415Recruiting
Using tumor gene data to improve treatment in metastatic breast cancer
This trial studies your tumor’s gene activity and breast cancer subtype to help guide treatment choices. It mainly looks at whether analyzing “RNA expression” and tumor subtype can improve how therapy is optimized during metastatic breast cancer care.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT03768271Recruiting
Study of early psoriatic arthritis for better diagnosis and care
This study follows people with a first episode of peripheral (hand/foot/arm/leg) arthritis that seems to be psoriatic arthritis. It aims to improve understanding of early disease and may help guide more personalized care over time.
CréteilAges 18–65 - 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 - 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+ - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT03788213Recruiting
Shorter vs longer radiation after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares giving breast radiation over one week versus three weeks after surgery. It aims to see whether the shorter schedule works just as well and is safe for people with certain types of early breast cancer.
Kolkata, West BengalAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT03796559Recruiting
Magnetic marker helps find breast cancer lymph nodes
This study uses a tiny magnetic marker (called Magseed) placed in a breast cancer–affected underarm lymph node, then tracks whether surgeons can find and remove the correct nodes after chemotherapy. It may help reduce the chance of missing cancer in the underarm while aiming for more accurate surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03797690Recruiting
Needle procedure for Dupuytren’s hand contracture
This trial looks at whether a minimally invasive needle procedure can improve hand stiffness caused by Dupuytren’s disease. It may help reduce finger bending that affects how you use your hand.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03800017Recruiting
Muscle strength and exercise function in lung scarring
This study looks at how well skeletal (muscle) function supports exercise in people with interstitial lung diseases (including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). It may help better understand fitness and breathing limits, which can guide rehabilitation choices and future care.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 40–80 - NCT03804944RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine trial for hormone-positive breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests an individualized vaccine made from your tumor information to help your immune system fight hormone-positive breast cancer. You may be able to participate if you meet specific hormone-receptor, health, and treatment-timing requirements.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT03808337RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus standard treatment for spread cancer
This trial looks at adding a focused radiation treatment called SBRT to standard care for cancers that have spread to a limited number of spots. It aims to control those spread-out tumors while still using the usual cancer treatment plan.
San Carlos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03809585Recruiting
Study of iris tumors and healthy eyes
This observational study looks at eyes with iris tumors and compares them to eyes without iris problems. The goal is to better understand how iris circulation and related eye measurements differ, which may help future care.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03815890RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery nivolumab for certain types of breast cancer
This trial tests whether giving nivolumab before surgery (neoadjuvant treatment) can improve outcomes for people with certain resectable breast cancers. It focuses on tumor types linked to immune activity (like triple-negative and specific lab markers).
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT03813862Recruiting
Study tracking medicines from clinic records
This is an observational study that collects information about what medicines patients receive. It uses data already recorded in participating clinics’ computer health records to better understand medication use over time.
Durham, North CarolinaAges birth+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03823144Recruiting
Imaging small live tumor details during surgery
This study uses a special camera to look at solid tumors from inside the body during an operation. It tests whether “live” tumor imaging (using a medicine called fluorescein) can be safely performed in people with certain solid cancers.
