Azelaic acid cream for breast cancer patients during radiation
This study tests whether using a topical azelaic acid cream twice daily during radiation therapy is feasible for breast cancer patients. The cream may help reduce skin side effects from radiation, and the study focuses on people with certain skin types that tan easily or have more pigment.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05950659Recruiting
Wearable insoles to prevent repeat diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests special sensory insoles (called Orpyx Sensory Insoles) to help prevent diabetic foot ulcers from coming back. It aims to reduce high-pressure foot spots for people who already had a healed nerve-related ulcer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07315997Recruiting
Heart health study for people with rheumatoid arthritis
This study looks at whether calcium in the heart arteries and a blood test (troponin) can help predict heart disease risk in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help doctors better prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 35–79 - NCT07603076Recruiting
Vein Problems and Symptoms in Lipedema
This study looks at how vein function relates to lipedema (a condition causing painful fat buildup in legs). Researchers will use ultrasound to check your veins and ask about your symptoms to better understand how the two conditions connect.
Istanbul, UskudarAges 18–65 - NCT04494945Recruiting
Help for people with inherited cancer risk genes
This study helps identify people who may have an inherited cancer risk and checks how best to support them. Depending on the group, you may only fill out surveys, or you may also create an app account and possibly provide a DNA sample.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04014413Recruiting
Fecal transplant for gut and immune-related conditions
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges Any age - NCT04019678Recruiting
Breast cancer study after chemotherapy with small underarm node spread
This study looks at whether it’s safe and effective to avoid removing many underarm lymph nodes in some people who, after chemotherapy, still seem to have only tiny (“micro”) cancer deposits in the sentinel lymph node. It may help reduce treatment side effects while keeping cancer control.
Rozzano, MIAges 18–75 - NCT04020575RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells made from your blood for advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests CAR T cells made from your own immune cells to target advanced breast cancer. The cells are designed to recognize a specific cancer marker (called MUC1*), with the goal of shrinking tumors or keeping them under control.
Duarte, 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+ - 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 - NCT04025541Recruiting
Blood tests to study tumor markers
This trial looks at blood samples to measure substances that may reflect cancer (tumor markers). It may help doctors understand cancer better and improve future monitoring, as long as you can safely and regularly take part.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT04030507Recruiting
Brain MRI screening during chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial checks the brain using MRI in people with breast cancer that has spread outside the breast or can’t be fully removed. The goal is to screen for brain involvement and see how MRI findings fit with treatment timing, when it’s safe to do so.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT04045691Recruiting
Real-world targeted treatment for BRAF-mutant melanoma
This trial studies how doctors use encorafenib plus binimetinib for real-world care in people with BRAF V600–mutated melanoma that can’t be removed by surgery or has spread. It may help improve understanding of which patients benefit and what happens in everyday clinical practice.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT04049214Recruiting
Mindfulness program during breast cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a structured mindfulness program before and after breast cancer surgery can reduce stress and improve how patients feel and cope. You may be offered mindfulness materials to use around the time of your operation.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04050423Recruiting
Ultrasound scans to better study breast lumps
This study tests whether special ultrasound pictures and “spectroscopy” measurements can help characterize breast masses that may be cancer. It may help doctors tell more about what a lump is and guide next steps.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT04050228Recruiting
Ultrasound test to tailor chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound measurement can help doctors choose the right chemotherapy plan during treatment for breast cancer. It may help avoid under- or over-treatment by adjusting care based on the ultrasound results.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04052893Recruiting
Surgery comparison for extensive breast duct cancer after mastectomy
This trial studies whether two different surgery approaches after modified radical mastectomy improve long-term disease control and quality of life for people with extensive breast duct cancer. It may help you understand which surgery plan could lead to better outcomes and recovery.
Benxi, LiaoningAges 45–75 - NCT04065971RecruitingPhase 4
Test drug for frequent cold sores in the mouth
This trial tests whether 2LHERP® can reduce or manage frequent herpes infections around the mouth. It compares the study drug to a placebo (inactive treatment) in people who get many episodes each year.
BeerzelAges 16–80 - NCT04065321Recruiting
Blood test for tumor cells in certain early breast cancers
This trial looks at a blood test that may detect “circulating tumor cells” (cancer cells that can travel in the bloodstream) in people with a specific type of breast cancer. It may help doctors better track the disease and guide treatment for people whose tumors have certain hormone and growth-factor features.
