A listing of Chicago, Illinois clinical trials actively recruiting patient volunteers.
This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN10597 alone or in combination with another drug called cemiplimab (called "study drug(s)"). The study is focused on patients with certain solid tumors that are in an advanced stage. The aim of the study is to see how safe, tolerable, and effective …
The purpose of this research is to evaluate if early vs rescue Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (PLEX) treatment algorithm leads to better visual outcomes in severe Optic Neuritis and leads to better neurological disability outcomes in severe Transverse Myelitis.
Pediatric gliomas harboring BRAF-alterations, commonly BRAFV600 mutation or KIAA1549-BRAF fusion, are currently treated with either chemotherapy or mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors, such as, dabrafenib and/or trametinib. Unfortunately, some BRAF-altered gliomas can progress or have rebound growth after discontinuation of therapy. Data from BRAFV600E-mutant melanoma has shown potential synergy …
The purpose of this study is to identify changes in heart tissue structure and biological function in patients with heart failure by performing an endomyocardial biopsy (EMB or heart biopsy) during a right heart catheterization (RHC). The ultimate goal is to use this information to develop new treatments for heart …
Intensive Patient Referral and Education Program prior to Renal Replacement Therapy (iPREP-RRT) is a 12-week intervention that identifies hospitalized African Americans with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and provides them with hospital- and community-based education, navigation and self-management support. Participants will be randomized to the iPREP-RRT intervention versus enhanced usual …
A Phase 1/2a First-in-Human Study of DB-1419 in Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors
This phase II trial evaluates an imaging technique (rhPSMA-7.3 positron emission tomography \[PET\]/computed tomography \[CT\]) for detecting prostate cancer in patients who have increasing prostate-specific antigen levels following prior treatment (biochemical recurrence) but who were prostate specific membrane antigen negative on their most recent PET scan. Contrast agents like rhPSMA-7.3 …
RESET-CKD is evaluating an intervention to support Black adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to reduce their sedentary (e.g., sitting) time. Half of the participants will be randomized to the intervention, where the goal is to support individuals to reduce their sitting time, and the other half will be randomized …
By doing this study, doctors hope to learn more about factors that contribute to frailty (a condition where older adults feel weak, get tired easily, and struggle more with everyday activities) and serious side effects among men over the age of 65 who will receive androgen deprivation therapy (also called …
This phase III trial compares the effect of dose-escalated radiation therapy to usual care in patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who have received an initial 4-6 months of chemotherapy. Usual care options include additional chemotherapy, observation, or standard lower-dose radiation therapy. These treatments may delay tumor growth …
