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 study tests whether combining two drugs, niraparib and dostarlimab, can control advanced cancers that have spread to the brain. It includes 120 adults with certain cancer types like BRCA-mutated or lung cancers. The goal is to see if the treatment shrinks or stabilizes brain…

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 testing a new blood test that looks for DNA fragments from tumors in people with hereditary cancer syndromes like Lynch syndrome or BRCA mutations. The goal is to see if the test can find cancers earlier than standard screening methods. Researchers will compare canc…

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 looks at families in Switzerland who carry genes that raise the risk of breast, ovarian, colorectal, or endometrial cancers. Researchers will survey both the person with the gene mutation and their close relatives to understand how many get tested and what barriers the…

This study compares genetic counselling done by video (telegenetics) with traditional in-person sessions for people at risk of hereditary breast, ovarian, or colorectal cancer. Researchers will measure how well patients understand their options, their emotional responses, and the…

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 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 offers free genetic testing to the general public to identify people with inherited cancer syndromes like hereditary breast and ovarian cancer or Lynch syndrome. Researchers aim to see if broad testing is more effective than only testing those with a family history. Up…

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 follows children under 21 who have a genetic condition that raises their risk of developing cancer, along with their relatives. Researchers will collect health information and samples over time to better understand how these cancers develop and how to catch them early.…

This registry tracks up to 1,500 people with triple negative breast cancer or inherited genetic mutations (like BRCA). Researchers will study how often these mutations occur, how patients respond to chemotherapy, and long-term survival. The goal is to better understand the diseas…

This study tests a decision aid designed to help Black and Latina women at high risk for breast cancer make informed choices about whether to get a breast MRI in addition to their yearly mammogram. Eighty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard risk info…

This study compares two ways to provide pre-test genetic counseling to people at high risk for hereditary cancers: a chatbot (Genetic Information Assistant) versus a live telegenetics session with a genetic counselor. About 96 participants will be randomly assigned to one method,…

This study collects tissue samples, medical data, and family histories from over 1,100 people being screened for colorectal or endometrial cancer. Researchers hope to discover new genes and mechanisms that increase cancer risk, especially in hereditary cancer syndromes. The goal …
