New hope for kids with rare cancers: targeted drug selpercatinib tested in phase 2 trial
Disease control OngoingThis phase 2 trial tests the drug selpercatinib in children and young adults (ages 1 to 21) with advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change called a RET alteration. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. Only one participant has been…

Targeted drug shows promise for kids with Tough-to-Treat cancers
Disease control OngoingThis study tested the drug ensartinib in 13 children and young adults (ages 1–21) whose cancers had come back or did not respond to treatment and had specific ALK or ROS1 gene changes. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink or stop tumor growth. While the drug targets cance…

New hope for kids with rare cancers: targeted drug larotrectinib tested in small trial
Disease control OngoingThis phase 2 trial is testing the drug larotrectinib in children and young adults (ages 1 to 21) with advanced solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have a specific genetic change called an NTRK fusion. The cancers have either come back after treatment…

Can remote rehab help lung patients breathe easier?
Symptom relief OngoingThis pilot study tests whether home-based or video-supervised exercise programs are acceptable and helpful for people with chronic lung diseases like IPF, sarcoidosis, bronchiectasis, asthma, and other interstitial lung diseases. Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to on…

Could gentle exercise with blood flow restriction help lung disease patients?
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study tests whether low-intensity aerobic exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) is safe and effective for people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). BFR uses a cuff to partially block blood flow, which may help build muscle with less strain. Thirty participants will t…

Scientists hunt for clues in the blood to predict lung fibrosis outcomes
Knowledge-focused ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study looks for biological markers in blood and lung samples from people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other interstitial lung diseases. The goal is to find markers that can predict how the disease will progress and to group patients into subtypes. Researchers…

Lung disease study probes hidden environmental triggers
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at how things in the environment and at work might affect people with interstitial lung diseases (a group of lung conditions). Researchers will ask 1,000 adults with a new diagnosis about their exposures to things like pollution, chemicals, and dust. The goal is …

Rare disease study probes hidden brain effects
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at how histiocytosis—a group of rare disorders—may affect memory, thinking, and brain structure. Researchers will test 13 adults with these conditions using thinking tasks and MRI scans. The goal is to better understand brain changes, not to provide treatment.…
