Trial Details

Trial Status:Recruiting
Trial Phase:Phase 2

66 Participants Needed

The goal of this research study is to evaluate the performance of two experimental tests, namely Liquid Biopsy and Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) in women at high risk of breast cancer. The plan for this study is to assess whether findings from the combination or each individual test can assist radiologists in visualizing and characterizing beast abnormalities. Liquid Biopsy is a blood test that can detect early tumours in patients with malignancies, while PEM is an imaging tool equipped with a high-resolution camera that uses a low dose of injected positron emitting isotope to locate breast tumours. Participation in this study entails a blood draw for Liquid Biopsy test and a PEM imaging exam before undergoing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - guided biopsy for a suspicious breast lesion. If PEM and/or Liquid Biopsy provide accurate information to assist radiologists in visualizing and characterizing breast abnormalities, this method may serve as the first step towards establishing these genomic and new imaging technologies as new diagnostic modalities and ultimately reduce the unnecessary biopsies and anxiety in high-risk populations.

This pilot observational study is being done to identify possible biomarkers of response to endocrine therapy in patients with ER/PR+ metastatic lobular breast cancer (LBC) starting new endocrine therapy. 18F-fluorofuranylnorprogesterone Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FFNP-PET/CT) and liquid biopsies will be performed at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment. Baseline levels and dynamic on-treatment changes in estrogen signaling as measured by FFNP-PET/CT and circulating tumor cell (CTC) liquid biopsy will be correlated with clinical response to endocrine therapy and progression-free survival in the above cohort of patients.

ctDNA Testing for B-Cell Lymphoma

Basking Ridge, New Jersey
The purpose of this study is to find out how many people with B-cell lymphoma who are at high risk for central nervous system/CNS relapse test positive for cerebral spinal fluid/CSF ctDNA but test negative for CNS involvement using standard tests. The study will also look at how often CNS relapse happens in people with and without detected CSF ctDNA.

This study evaluates patient acceptability of whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WBM) and liquid biopsies (LB) in detecting early stage cancer in patients with a strong family history of cancer. Collecting family history and testing for genes passed on from parent to child (germline testing) can be used to predict the likelihood of a patient developing cancer. Currently, detection of early cancers focuses on screening specific organ systems such as breast and colon cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnet and radio waves to look at organs and structures inside the body. Health care professionals use MRI scans to diagnose a variety of conditions, from torn ligaments to cancer. Liquid biopsy is test that analyzes blood samples to determine if cancer cells are present. This study may help researchers determine the feasibility of WBM and liquid biopsies to detect early stage cancer in patients that have a strong family history of cancer.

Trial Phase:Early Phase 1

This clinical trial investigates how practical and doable (feasibility) cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) liquid biopsy is in screening high-risk patients for lung cancer. Currently, a low dose computed tomography (CT) scan is used to screen for lung cancer, however, due to various factors, few high-risk patients are screened. Liquid biopsy utilizes technology that can detect small amounts of DNA shed by cancer cells and may be able to spot lung cancer at an earlier stage. If a positive result comes back from the liquid biopsy, a patient may be more willing to get a low dose CT (LDCT) scan, possibly confirming the biopsy's findings and thus leading to more early lung cancer detection.

Why Other Patients Applied

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

Arthritis PatientAge: 78

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

ZS
Depression PatientAge: 51

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added ctDNA Testing for B-Cell Lymphoma, Biomarker Testing for Breast Cancer Treatment Resistance and PEM vs Liquid Biopsy for Breast Cancer to the Power online platform.
