This study is developing a blood test that looks at tiny genetic particles called microRNAs to predict how well pancreatic cancer will respond to chemotherapy given before surgery. Researchers will collect blood samples from 200 patients with pancreatic cancer who are about to re…

This study is testing a new blood test to find tiny traces of stomach cancer that might be left behind after surgery. The goal is to catch a recurrence earlier than standard scans. Researchers will collect blood samples from 500 people who had their stomach cancer removed and fol…

This study is developing a computer model that uses genetic information from tumors to predict whether a colorectal cancer patient will benefit from chemotherapy after surgery. The goal is to avoid giving chemo to those who won't respond and ensure those who need it get it. Resea…

This pilot study is testing whether a smart wristband can accurately measure drug levels in sweat compared to standard blood tests. Researchers will collect sweat, saliva, and blood samples from 100 patients with chronic or infectious diseases who are taking medications like cycl…

This study is looking for a way to predict which patients with advanced colorectal cancer will benefit from standard chemotherapy. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 600 patients to find specific markers that separate responders from non-responders. The goal is to help d…

This study looks at whether a special health check-up done over video (telemedicine) can help find weak spots in older adults with cancer and guide their care. It includes 216 people aged 65 and older with cancer who are starting a new treatment. The goal is to see if this approa…

This study looks at how bacteria in the gut and urine change in men with prostate cancer who are getting hormone therapy and radiation. Researchers will collect stool and urine samples from 30 participants to see if these bacteria affect healing and side effects. The goal is to f…

This study tracks 100 adults with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome who are starting mogamulizumab, a standard treatment. The drug often causes a rash that can look like the cancer itself. Researchers want to help doctors tell the difference so they don't stop a working drug t…
