PARAGANGLIOMA

This study is testing a combination of two drugs—a targeted radioactive drug (177Lu-DOTATATE) and a PARP inhibitor (olaparib)—in children and teens aged 3 to 18 with certain solid tumors that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if the combination is s…

This study tests a new drug called [212Pb]VMT-α-NET, which delivers a powerful type of radiation (alpha particles) directly to tumor cells that have a specific marker (SSTR2). The trial includes 300 adults with advanced neuroendocrine tumors or meningioma that cannot be removed b…

This phase 2 trial tests a radioactive drug called Lu-177-DOTATATE in 130 adults with rare adrenal or neck tumors that cannot be surgically removed. The drug is given four times over about 8 months, and researchers track how long the cancer stays under control. The goal is to see…

This early-phase trial tests a new treatment for people with advanced melanoma or other solid tumors that have spread. Doctors take a patient's own immune cells, modify them in a lab to better recognize and attack cancer, and give them back after a short course of chemotherapy. T…

This study tests a new radioactive imaging agent called 68Ga-HA-DOTATATE to see if it can safely and accurately detect neuroendocrine tumors using PET/CT scans. About 600 people with known or suspected tumors will receive the agent and be followed for one year. The goal is to imp…

This study tests whether a special PET/MRI scan using a radioactive tracer called Ga68-DOTATATE can better detect certain brain tumors (like meningioma) and tell them apart from changes caused by past treatments. About 200 adults with these tumors will get the scan alongside stan…

This study is testing whether special PET scans using targeted tracers can accurately find and stage neuroblastoma and pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma tumors. About 30 people aged 1 to 70 will receive an injection of a radioactive tracer and then have a PET scan. The scan results …

This study aims to improve how doctors find and understand pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas, rare tumors that can cause dangerous high blood pressure. Researchers will use advanced imaging scans and genetic testing in up to 3,000 participants to learn more about these tumors.…

This study enrolls people with endocrine tumors (such as thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, or pancreatic tumors) who are scheduled for surgery or biopsy. Researchers collect samples of the tumor, nearby healthy tissue, blood, and urine to analyze genetic and molecular changes. The g…

This early-phase study is testing an investigational radioactive tracer called 18F-FluorThanatrace (FTT) for PET/CT scans in up to 30 people with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma—rare tumors of the adrenal glands or nerve tissue. The tracer aims to measure a protein called PARP-…

This study is creating a large database to collect information on people with rare diseases like amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, and Gaucher disease. Researchers will track patients' health over time, including their symptoms, treatments, and outcomes. The goal is to improve diagnosis …

This study looks at the genes of people with rare nervous system tumors called pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. Researchers want to find the genetic changes that cause these tumors and how they affect health. Up to 2,000 patients and their family members will provide DNA sampl…
