NCT ID NCT03830229
First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study follows people with inherited BAP1 gene mutations, which raise the risk of mesothelioma and other cancers. Researchers will track participants over time with exams, scans, and genetic testing to see how and when cancers develop. The goal is to better understand cancer risk in these families, not to test a new treatment.
