Monoclonal Antibodies
Pembrolizumab for Advanced Cancers
This trial looks at how well pembrolizumab works on patients with rare tumors that can't be removed or have spread. Monoclonal antibodies, like pembrolizumab, may block certain proteins to help control tumor growth.
HIF-2α Inhibitor
Belzutifan for Advanced Cancers
This trial is testing belzutifan, a medication given alone, in patients with advanced cancers that have specific genetic changes. The drug works by blocking a protein that helps cancer cells grow. Belzutifan showed significant response rates for both Von Hippel-Lindau disease-associated kidney cancers and other types of cancers.

Trials for Pheochromocytoma Patients
Behavioral Nudge for Genetic Predisposition
This trial aims to find new ways to deliver genetic testing results that can change medical management beyond traditional genetic counseling visits. The study will use non-geneticist clinicians and patient nudges in a randomized clinical
[18F]FluorThanatrace PET/CT Imaging for Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
This trial will investigate a PET/CT imaging scan to assess PARP-1 expression in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma patients before surgery/systemic therapy. It won't influence treatment decisions.
PARP Inhibitor
Olaparib + Temozolomide for Neuroendocrine Cancer
This trial is testing a combination of two drugs, olaparib and temozolomide, to treat advanced neuroendocrine cancers that have spread or can't be removed by surgery. Olaparib stops cancer cells from repairing themselves, while temozolomide kills them or stops their growth. The goal is to see if this combination works better than using temozolomide alone. Olaparib has shown activity in ovarian and other solid tumors, while temozolomide has been effective in treating various types of neuroendocrine tumors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to paraganglioma
What are the top hospitals conducting paraganglioma research?
In the realm of paraganglioma clinical trials, several top hospitals are making significant strides in research and treatment. One notable institution is the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center located in Bethesda. With three ongoing paraganglioma trials and a total of six conducted thus far, this center has been at the forefront of exploring new approaches since their initial trial in 2012. Another leading facility is Houston's renowned M D Anderson Cancer Center, which also boasts three active trials focused on paraganglioma alongside a cumulative tally of seven completed studies. Their groundbreaking efforts date back to 2010 when they first embarked on a paraganglioma trial.
The University of Iowa situated in Iowa City is another esteemed hospital that has dedicated its resources to addressing this condition. Currently conducting two active paraganglioma trials with a history including three previous investigations since their inaugural study in 2009, they continue to contribute valuable insights into this rare tumor type. Similarly, MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrates its commitment by offering two ongoing paraganglioma trials and having accomplished three previous ones dating back to 2009.
Lastly, we turn our attention to Columbia University Medical Center located in New york City—an institution known for cutting-edge medical advancements. Despite being newer players within the field with just two active and two historical paraganglioma trials under their belt since recording their first investigation last year (in 2019), they have made notable progress towards improving outcomes for individuals affected by this unique form of tumor.
These hospitals represent beacons of hope for those battling against paragangliomas—rare tumors that can arise from specialized nerve cells found throughout the body—and highlight the importance placed upon research and innovation across various corners of America's healthcare landscape. As these institutions collaborate on pioneering clinical trials, patients can look forward to promising breakthroughs that may revolutionize treatment options while ultimately holding potential for many more lives to be saved in the future.
