Proteus syndrome

This phase 2 trial tests whether a daily pill called miransertib can slow or stop the abnormal tissue overgrowth seen in Proteus syndrome, a rare genetic condition. About 38 people aged 3 and older will take the drug for up to 4 years. Researchers will measure changes in foot ove…

This study tests a two-year follow-up program for 200 adults with hereditary cancer syndromes like BRCA or Lynch syndrome. Participants get personalized care plans and regular check-ins with a genetics doctor to help them follow cancer prevention and screening guidelines. The goa…

This study is developing a blood test to find early-stage tumors in people with hereditary cancer syndromes (high genetic risk for cancer). Researchers will collect blood samples and medical data from about 1,400 participants across Canada. They will also interview patients and d…

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset during PICC line placement can reduce anxiety and pain in cancer patients. About 120 adults will be randomly assigned to either receive VR plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is to see if this non-drug appro…

This study looked at whether having more frequent contact with a clinician (at least once a week) improves satisfaction for people with long-lasting musculoskeletal conditions. Participants were split into two groups: one with standard contact and one with extra check-ins via tex…

This study tests whether a Norwegian clinic (NSAC) helps people with common mental health issues or muscle pain return to work sooner. 2500 adults are split into three groups: one gets treatment quickly, one waits 10-14 weeks, and one gets a basic check-up. Researchers will track…

This study is creating a web-based program to help people with hereditary cancer mutations share their genetic test results with family members. The goal is to increase awareness among at-risk relatives so they can take steps to prevent cancer. The program is designed for patient…

This study looks back at the medical records of about 4 million people who had physical or occupational therapy for muscle and joint problems. Researchers want to see if different ways of giving therapy lead to different results. No new treatments are tested—the goal is to learn …

This study looks at whether short educational videos can help people with inherited cancer gene mutations learn more about their condition. About 43 adults who carry mutations in genes like BRCA1 or BRCA2 will watch the videos and then take a quiz. The goal is to see if this simp…

This study tests two simple, scalable methods to help people with inherited cancer risk follow through on recommended screenings. Researchers will provide online educational resources and personalized phone outreach to 900 participants. The goal is to see if these approaches impr…

This study aimed to see if a mobile monitoring tool could accurately identify surgical site infections (SSIs) in orthopedic surgery patients, compared to the usual manual review. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. It was design…

This study is testing a chatbot and online portal called AYA-RISE to help adolescents and young adults (ages 12-24) who have genetic conditions that raise their cancer risk. The goal is to see if the tool helps them communicate with family and doctors and make informed decisions …

This study looks at the complete DNA and RNA of 10 people and their families who are at high risk for hereditary cancer but have no known genetic cause. Researchers will use whole genome sequencing and tumor analysis to discover new genetic changes that may lead to cancer. The go…

The IMPACT Study is testing two online tools—GeneSHARE and LivingLabReport—to help people with inherited cancer gene variants share their results with family members and follow cancer screening guidelines. The study involves 720 adults who have a genetic variant linked to cancers…

This study aimed to see if a rapid whole genome sequencing test on amniotic fluid could give faster genetic diagnoses for fetuses with suspected genetic diseases. Researchers planned to compare results from amniotic fluid and blood samples from up to 90 families. However, the stu…
