This study is testing if adding arsenic trioxide to chemotherapy can help children with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and p53 mutations fight their cancer more safely.
-
Evaluating willingness to participate in genetic counseling comparison
This study is trying to see how willing people with Li-Fraumeni syndrome are to join a future trial comparing regular genetic counseling to personalized genetic counseling.
-
Registry for Li Fraumeni and Li Fraumeni-Like Syndromes
This study is creating a registry to gather information from people with Li-Fraumeni and Li-Fraumeni-Like Syndromes to help understand these conditions better and improve diagnosis and research.
-
Understanding Li-Fraumeni Syndrome and TP53 Variants
This study is trying to understand cancer risks in people with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome or TP53 gene changes to help improve prevention and treatment options.
-
Biobank for patients with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome and TP53 mutations
This study is collecting health information and samples from people with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome and TP53 mutations, as well as their family members, to see how their genes affect cancer risk and to find better ways to screen for and treat these cancers.
-
Investigating genetic factors in childhood cancer
This study is trying to find out if certain genes passed down in families can increase the risk of childhood cancer by looking at samples from kids who have had cancer and their relatives.
-
Understanding Li-Fraumeni Syndrome and its Cancer Risks
This study looks at people with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome to see what causes their cancer risk and how it affects their families, while also working on a cancer screening program.
-
Characterizing patients with rare cardiovascular diseases
This study is trying to learn more about rare heart diseases by testing people who have these conditions, their family members, and healthy volunteers to see how these diseases develop and what causes them.
NIH-funded research (5)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Refolding Mutant p53: A Strategy to Help People with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome
Aims to develop drugs that stabilize mutant p53 in people with Li-Fraumeni syndrome to prevent cancers before they develop.
-
Cancer screening with cell-free DNA in Li-Fraumeni Syndrome
A new, patient-friendly screening approach using blood tests to look for cancer signals in people with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, alongside standard imaging.
-
Reversing mutations in a protein linked to cancer risk
This study is exploring a new way to help people with certain genetic mutations that affect the VHL protein, which can increase cancer risk, by developing compounds that might help the protein work better and reduce the chances of cancer.
-
Helping mutated p53 fold correctly to lower cancer risk in Li‑Fraumeni syndrome
This project tests drugs that help mutated p53 protein fold properly to lower cancer risk for people with Li‑Fraumeni syndrome.
-
Improving cancer prevention for people with Li-Fraumeni syndrome
This study is looking at how to create new medications that can help people with Li-Fraumeni syndrome by fixing a faulty protein linked to cancer, with the goal of preventing tumors from developing.
