BRCA2-related cancer predisposition

This early-stage trial is testing whether combining two drugs—niraparib and irinotecan—can safely treat advanced solid tumors that have mutations in DNA repair genes like BRCA. The study will enroll 24 adults with various cancers, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and others…

This early-phase study tests a combination of two oral drugs, olaparib and ASTX727, in adults with advanced solid tumors that have mutations in genes like BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, ATM, or CHEK2. The main goals are to find the safest dose and to check for side effects. About 18 partic…

This early-stage trial is testing a new daily oral medication called ETX-19477 in about 120 adults with advanced solid tumors, including breast, ovarian, prostate, and other cancers. The drug blocks a protein called PARG to interfere with cancer cells' ability to repair themselve…

This study tests a software platform called Nest that helps young adults (ages 18-49) with inherited cancer risks manage their care. Participants will use the tool to track screening and share information with doctors and family. Researchers will compare users to non-users to see…

This early-stage trial is testing a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (melphalan and BCNU) plus vitamins B12b and C, followed by an infusion of the patient's own stem cells. The goal is to see if this approach is safe for people with metastatic pancreatic or breast cancer, es…

This phase 2 trial is testing whether giving the targeted drug olaparib (Lynparza) along with hormone therapy for 6 months before surgery can shrink or eliminate prostate cancer in men with high-risk disease and specific gene mutations. About 32 men will receive the treatment, th…

This study is testing an experimental drug called ACE-86225106 in adults with advanced solid tumors that are difficult to treat or have stopped responding to standard therapies. The drug works by blocking a protein that helps cancer cells repair themselves, potentially slowing or…

This study is testing a blood test called GRAIL Galleri that looks for signs of many different cancers at once. It is being offered to 1000 people who have a high risk of cancer due to inherited genetic conditions. The goal is to see if the test can find cancers early, when they …

This study is for women with BRCA1, BRCA2, or other gene mutations that greatly raise ovarian cancer risk. Instead of removing both ovaries and fallopian tubes at once, researchers are testing whether removing just the tubes first and delaying ovary removal is equally safe. The g…

This study tests a 4-week online cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program for women with BRCA1/2 mutations who have finished cancer treatment and still worry a lot about cancer coming back. Researchers will compare those who get therapy right away to those on a waitlist, measur…

This study aims to better understand and treat people with certain inherited metabolic or genetic disorders. Researchers will use standard medical tests like blood work and imaging to diagnose and care for participants, who may also join other related studies. The goal is to expa…

This study collects blood, urine, saliva, and tissue samples from nearly 6,000 people who have or may have cancer, including rare inherited forms. The samples are stored and used for research to understand the genetic and molecular basis of cancer. No new treatment is being teste…

This study collects extra blood, urine, and tumor samples from children and adults with certain cancers to build a large tissue repository. Researchers will analyze these samples to learn more about the genetic and molecular makeup of these tumors. The goal is to support future s…

This study aims to discover new genes that may cause certain cancers to run in families. Researchers will collect blood samples and health information from 1,500 people in families where multiple members have had cancer, especially childhood cancers. The goal is to build a regist…

This study follows 56 young adults who have a genetic condition that raises their cancer risk. After they graduate from pediatric care at St. Jude, researchers track whether they find adult doctors and continue regular cancer screenings over 8 years. Participants fill out surveys…

This study tests whether web-based tools can help people with hereditary cancer syndromes share risk information with their relatives and encourage them to get genetic testing. Researchers will enroll 625 participants (patients and their relatives) and track how many use the tool…

This study looks at genetic changes in families to figure out which ones truly increase cancer risk. Researchers will analyze DNA from 11,000 people, including those with certain gene variants and their relatives. The goal is to improve genetic counseling and help doctors decide …

This study is testing a new online platform called Nest for young adults aged 18-39 who have had genetic testing for cancer risk. The platform gives both patients and their doctors access to updated information about genetic findings. Researchers want to see if the tool is easy t…

This study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital looks at how parents and children (ages 10-24) talk about the child's genetic risk for cancer. The goal is to understand what helps or hinders these conversations, so doctors can create better education programs. The study wil…

This pilot study tests whether an educational video can help women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations make more informed decisions about hormone replacement therapy after having their ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to lower cancer risk. Fifty premenopausal women scheduled for thi…

This study is looking at 2,000 people who have early warning signs of blood cancers or bone marrow failure. Researchers use a special genetic test (next generation sequencing) to find changes in cancer-related genes. The goal is to better understand who is at risk and to catch th…

This study compares two methods of offering cancer genetic testing to patients in community health centers. One method lets primary care doctors order tests directly, while the other uses a specialist model with extra support. Researchers will track how many patients get tested a…

This study compares a self-guided online genetic testing program to standard in-person counseling for people at risk of hereditary cancer. About 1,000 adults who meet national guidelines for genetic testing will participate. The goal is to see if the online option works just as w…

This study looks at a new way to help family members of cancer patients learn if they have inherited a higher risk for cancer. About 240 people with a known cancer gene change will be asked to share their test results with their close relatives, either on their own or with help f…

This study aims to discover new genes that increase the risk of developing cancer, especially in people with a strong family history or unusual cancer patterns. Researchers will analyze genetic data from 1,500 adults and children who have or may develop inherited cancer. The goal…

This study is collecting health information from 10,000 women in Italy who carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations, which raise the risk of certain cancers. Researchers aim to better understand where these mutations are most common and how to improve care. Participants simply provide…

This study aims to create a large collection of blood samples from 2,500 people with or at high risk for cancer. Researchers will use these samples to study liquid biopsies, which are blood tests that may help detect cancer, track treatment response, and spot recurrence. Particip…

This study looks at two new approaches to cancer genetic counseling. The first helps doctors reach out to family members who may have inherited a cancer-related gene change, making it easier for them to get tested. The second uses an online portal to keep patients and their docto…
