Recruiting studies5,186 total
- NCT04068155Recruiting
Radiation device for certain skin cancers you can treat locally
This trial tests a radiation-emitting device placed near the tumor to treat certain malignant skin cancers that can be fully covered. It may help shrink or control the cancer at the skin site where the device is applied.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT04069884Recruiting
Avoid extra lymph-node radiation for certain node-positive breast cancers
This trial tests a way to decide whether you can safely receive less radiation to lymph nodes after surgery for breast cancer that has spread to nearby nodes. If you qualify as “low risk,” the goal is to reduce radiation exposure while keeping cancer control safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04072653Recruiting
Sentinel node biopsy versus watchful waiting after PET
This trial studies whether taking a sample from the sentinel lymph node (a first lymph node that can be involved) improves care compared with observation, after a breast cancer PET scan of the armpit area. It may help people with certain early breast cancers avoid unnecessary procedures if the lymph nodes look negative on scans.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04074720Recruiting
Collecting breast cancer tissue and blood samples
This study collects tissue and/or blood samples from people with breast cancer to help future research. It may be useful if you’re already having surgery or another procedure as part of your treatment plan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04075305Recruiting
Study measuring radiation treatment outcomes with an MR-Linac
This study follows what happens when radiation treatment is guided using an MR-Linac (a special machine that combines MRI imaging with radiation). It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned and assessed, especially for people who can safely have MRI scans.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04079179RecruitingPhase 2
Cobimetinib for difficult Langerhans cell and similar disorders
This Phase 2 trial studies cobimetinib, a medicine that targets a specific growth-and-signal pathway, to treat stubborn (refractory or worsening) Langerhans cell histiocytosis and related disorders. It may help shrink active disease or stop disease from progressing.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT04079049RecruitingPhase 3
Local treatment for breast cancer spread to the liver
This study tests a local (targeted) approach for breast cancer that has spread to the liver. It looks at whether treating liver metastases with planned liver surgery, along with standard cancer treatment before and after, can improve outcomes.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT04080635Recruiting
Check how to monitor brodalumab blood levels in psoriasis
This study measures brodalumab levels in your blood to see whether “therapeutic drug monitoring” can guide treatment in people with plaque psoriasis. If you’re eligible, it may help doctors better match the medicine to your body.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT04084730RecruitingPhase 2
3-day radiation after breast-conserving surgery for certain breast cancers
This trial tests whether a shorter, 3-day course of partial breast radiation after surgery works as well as standard radiation for women with early-stage breast cancer. It may help reduce time in treatment while aiming to keep cancer from coming back in the treated breast area.
Norwalk, ConnecticutAges 45 years+ - NCT04090567RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib with two partners for advanced BRCA breast cancer
This trial tests whether the drug olaparib works better when combined with cediranib or AZD6738 in people with advanced or metastatic BRCA (inherited) breast cancer. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth after prior treatment with a PARP inhibitor.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04095195Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer risk registry for high-risk families
This study builds a registry of people with a higher-than-average risk of pancreatic cancer, based on family history or inherited gene conditions. If you join the extra imaging follow-up, it helps your care team monitor risk earlier.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18–80 - NCT04095351Recruiting
Study of connective tissue disease affecting the lungs
This study looks at people aged 18 and older who have a connective tissue disease and lung involvement. It aims to better understand how these lung problems progress and may help doctors choose better care.
InnsbruckAges 18–80 - NCT04102930Recruiting
Study of immune and genetic features in GCA and PMR
This study looks at immune system and genetic (inherited) differences in people diagnosed with giant cell arteritis or polymyalgia rheumatica. It aims to improve understanding of why these conditions happen and how they vary between people.
Canterbury, KentAges 50 years+ - NCT04101656Recruiting
Shorter breast radiation for early breast cancer
This trial studies a radiation technique that treats only part of the breast using a faster schedule. It may help some people with early breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery by delivering effective treatment with less radiation to the rest of the breast.
SevilleAges 40 years+ - NCT04109079Recruiting
Best surgery plan for breast cancer lymph nodes after chemotherapy
This study looks at the safest and most useful way to remove and check breast-cancer lymph nodes in the armpit after you finish chemotherapy given before surgery. It may help you avoid unnecessary surgery while still getting accurate information about how well the treatment worked.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT04114136RecruitingPhase 2
Study tests pembrolizumab or nivolumab plus a diabetes-like drug
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a metabolic (diabetes-related) medicine to an immune therapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) can better control certain solid tumors. It may help people whose standard treatment would usually be pembrolizumab or nivolumab alone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04115566Recruiting
HS patient registry and sample storage study
This study enrolls people with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) to better understand the condition over time and store optional health information and samples. Being in the registry may help researchers learn about patterns in HS and support future research.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 10 years+ - NCT04115774Recruiting
Registry for people with osteogenesis imperfecta
This study is a registry, meaning it collects health information about people with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) to better understand the condition. It may help researchers learn what care works best and how OI varies from person to person.
Bologna, Emilia-RomagnaAges Any age - 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+ - NCT04119024RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04122313Recruiting
Radiation after surgery for Dupuytren’s hand contracture
This trial looks at using radiation after contracture-release surgery for people with Dupuytren’s disease. It may help prevent the hand tightening from coming back and improve hand function.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04126876RecruitingPhase 2
IMO-2125 skin injection for thick, early-stage melanoma
This trial tests whether an injection given into the skin (IMO-2125) can improve outcomes for people with thicker primary melanoma that has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs. Participants also have planned surgery to remove the tumor and check a sentinel lymph node.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04132206Recruiting
Studying gut bacteria patterns in systemic sclerosis over time
This study looks at changes in gut bacteria over time in people with systemic sclerosis (a connective tissue disease). It also compares them with healthy adults to understand what gut bacteria patterns may be linked to this condition.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT04133272Recruiting
Registry for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome patients and pregnancies
This study is a registry that collects information about people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, including unborn babies diagnosed before birth. It may help researchers learn more about the condition and improve care over time.
