Men at High Genetic Risk for Prostate Cancer

https://www.facingourrisk.org/research-clinical-trials/study/72/men-at-high-genetic-risk-for-prostate-cancer

Prevention
Prostate screening with MRI for men with Lynch syndrome (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM) or a BRCA1, BRCA2, HOXB13, ATM, NBN, TP53, BRIP1, CHEK2, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, or other mutation

The National Institutes of Health has a clinical trial for men at high genetic risk for prostate cancer. This is trial is for men without prostate cancer, ages 30 to 75, who have tested positive for Lynch syndrome (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM) or BRCA1, BRCA2, HOXB13, ATM, NBN, TP53, BRIP1, CHEK2, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, or FANC (FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCI, FANCL, and FANCM). The trial involves screening MRI of the prostate every two years and biopsy of the prostate if the MRI is abnormal. There is no cost for travel or study-related tests. 


Cancer Prevention Vaccine (Nous-209) for People with Lynch Syndrome

https://www.facingourrisk.org/research-clinical-trials/study/278/cancer-prevention-vaccine-nous-209-for-people-with-lynch-syndrome

Prevention
Prevention study for people with Lynch syndrome

This study is testing a vaccine, known as the Nous-209 vaccine, which is intended to decrease the chances that people with Lynch syndrome will develop polyps that can turn into cancer.


Lynch Syndrome Vaccine Study

Prevention
Testing A Combination Of Vaccines For Cancer Prevention In Lynch Syndrome

This study is being done to assess the safety and effectiveness of a series of vaccines (Tri-Ad5), together with another drug (N-803) that magnifies the body’s response to vaccines, to see if there is an effect on the risk of developing colon and other cancers in LS patients.


Collecting Blood and Stool Samples to Detect Colorectal Cancer or Precancerous Polyps in Lynch Syndrome Patients, CORAL Study

https://www.facingourrisk.org/research-clinical-trials/study/256/early-detection-of-colorectal-cancer-for-people-with-lynch-syndrome

Prevention
People with Lynch Syndrome at risk for colon cancer

This study will colect blood and stool samples to detect colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps in people with Lynch syndrome.


A Study Comparing Two Anti-inflammatory Medications Naproxen or Aspirin for Cancer Prevention in Lynch Syndrome

https://www.facingourrisk.org/research-clinical-trials/study/281/studying-the-use-of-naproxen-and-aspirin-for-cancer-prevention-in-people-with-lynch-syndrome

Prevention
Prevention study for people with Lynch syndrome

The trial is enrolling people with Lynch syndrome. On average, the length of this study will last one year from the start of enrollment to completion. The study will measure  the effect of naproxen or aspirin on the immune cells in the gastrointestinal tract of people with Lynch syndrome. The trial will also evaluate any symptoms from the medications and any other changes of the colon and rectum.


Blood Markers of Early Pancreas Cancer

https://www.facingourrisk.org/research-clinical-trials/study/141/blood-markers-of-early-pancreas-cancer

Prevention
Observational study for people with family history of pancreas cancer or an inherited mutation linked to pancreatic cancer risk.

The purpose of this study is to try to find markers of early pancreatic cancer for individuals at higher-than-average risk, expedite the diagnosis in individuals with symptoms, and substantially improve an individual's chance of surviving the disease.


IGNITE-TX - Identifying Individuals for Genetic Testing for Familial Cancer

https://www.facingourrisk.org/research-clinical-trials/study/266/helping-people-with-a-genetic-mutation-in-brca1-brca2-or-lynch-syndrome-talk-to-their-family-members-about-their-risk-for-cancer-and-find-the-best-way-to-get-family-members-tested

Prevention
People with a genetic mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2 or Lynch syndrome who have relatives who have not been tested

The IGNITE-TX study is all about helping people with a genetic mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2 or Lynch syndrome talk to their family members about their risk for cancer and find the best way to get family members tested.


A Pancreatic Cancer Screening Study for High Risk Individuals

https://www.facingourrisk.org/research-clinical-trials/study/95/pancreatic-cancer-screening-study-for-high-risk-people

Prevention

The purpose of this study is to screen and detect pancreatic cancer and precancer in people with either a strong family history of pancreatic cancer, or an inherited mutation associated with pancreatic cancer risk.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will be used to screen for early stage pancreatic cancer. Participants will also be asked to donate a blood sample at specific intervals for the creation of a blood bank necessary for the development of a blood-based screening test for pancreatic cancer. 


Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection Program

https://www.facingourrisk.org/research-clinical-trials/study/20/pancreatic-cancer-early-detection

Prevention

This is a study looking at esophageal ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as a screening for pancreatic cancer in high risk individuals.
