This study tests a new COVID-19 vaccine (LUNAR-COV19) in 56 adults who received a blood stem cell transplant within the past year. These patients often have weaker immune responses to standard vaccines. The new vaccine uses a self-amplifying mRNA that may produce a stronger and l…

This early-phase trial tests a combination of three drugs—enfortumab vedotin, pembrolizumab, and quemliclustat—in people with advanced bladder or urinary tract cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective. The…

This study tests whether removing a specific type of immune cell (naive T cells) from a donor's stem cell graft can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious complication where donor cells attack the recipient's body. The trial enrolls people with non-malignant blood di…

This phase I trial tests a new treatment for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have minimal residual disease (MRD) — small amounts of cancer cells that remain after standard therapy. The treatment uses the patient's own T cells, genetically modified to recognize a prot…

This study is testing two remote programs—a chatbot app called QuitBot and a text messaging service—to help American Indian and Alaska Native adults quit smoking. About 772 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the programs. The goal is to see which approach works bett…

This phase III trial will enroll 854 Hispanic adults who smoke and want to quit. Participants will use the iCanQuit smartphone app, which teaches skills to manage cravings and prevent relapse. Half will also receive nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patch, or lozenge) to ease wi…

This early-phase trial tests a new approach for high-risk multiple myeloma: a radioactive antibody that targets cancer cells, followed by a donor stem cell transplant. The antibody delivers radiation directly to myeloma cells, while chemotherapy and low-dose radiation help prepar…

This study compares two smartphone apps designed to help people stop smoking. One app uses a therapy that focuses on mood and behavior, while the other uses standard quitting advice. About 1,800 adult smokers who want to quit in the next month will use one of the apps for 30 days…

This phase 2 trial is testing whether a lower dose of the immunotherapy drug nivolumab, given less often, can still control cancer in people with various advanced or metastatic cancers. The goal is to see if a cheaper, more accessible regimen works as well as the standard high-co…

This study will test if using two heat probes instead of one can better prevent cervical cancer in 300 women with HIV in Zimbabwe. The standard single-probe treatment often fails in these women. The goal is to see if the two-probe method is safe, acceptable, and more effective at…

This study tests whether using two probes during a heat-based treatment (thermal ablation) works better than the usual one-probe method to prevent cervical cancer in women living with HIV. About 200 women aged 25-49 with HIV and cervical precancer will be enrolled. The goal is to…

This study tests whether adding a remote nurse via telehealth to pharmacy-based PrEP/PEP services helps more people start and continue HIV prevention. About 1,580 pharmacy clients in Kenya will either get standard pharmacy care or extra telehealth support with SMS reminders. The …

This study will test whether using two heat probes instead of one to treat cervical precancer works better for women living with HIV. Researchers in Rwanda will enroll 300 women to see if the two-probe approach is safe, acceptable, and more effective at clearing HPV. The goal is …

This study looks at whether training pharmacy staff to better communicate about and manage the HPV vaccine can increase vaccination rates in children ages 9-17. About 1,900 participants, including pharmacy staff and parents, will be involved. The goal is to make it easier for fam…

This study tests whether using two heat probes instead of one can better prevent cervical cancer in women living with HIV, who face a much higher risk. Researchers will enroll 300 women in Kenya to see if the two-probe method is safe, acceptable, and more effective at clearing HP…

This study tests if eating only within an 8-hour window each day (time-restricted eating) can reduce treatment side effects and improve quality of life for people with solid tumors starting adjuvant therapy after surgery. Fifty adults will be randomly assigned to follow this eati…

This study tests whether an online nutrition education website, Cook for Your Life, can help breast cancer patients manage side effects like diarrhea and constipation during chemotherapy. About 50 adults with stage I-III breast cancer will use the website alongside standard care.…

This study tests a spiritual health program called PATH for cancer patients struggling with feelings of disconnection, loss of meaning, or existential distress. Twenty adults with any stage of cancer will attend six workshops combining role-playing, psychology, and dignity therap…

This pilot study will give 20 early-stage cancer patients a preloaded cash card with $1,000 each month. The goal is to see if this simple cash support can prevent financial hardship, like debt or missed rent, and improve treatment outcomes. Researchers will measure how many peopl…

This study tests a decision-making support program based on restorative justice principles, designed specifically for Black adults who are at high risk for lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach increases understanding, trust, and willingness to get screened. Forty-five…

This study tests whether personalized patient navigation can help more American Indian and Alaska Native people in Washington state get screened for lung cancer. About 237 adults aged 50-77 who smoke or recently quit will be enrolled. The goal is to see if tailored support helps …

This study tests whether a specially designed educational toolkit, called the Lung Toolkit, can improve knowledge about lung cancer and screening among American Indian and Alaskan Native adults aged 50 to 80 who smoke cigarettes. The toolkit includes a website with resources and …
