- Healthy Male Volunteers Needed for Selenium Study
CINJ researchers are studying the effects of the mineral selenium in reducing one's risk for prostate cancer. At focus are selenium yeast or selenomethionine and whether they have a role in lowering prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and preventing other markers related to the development of prostate cancer in healthy men of different ages. Participants will be asked to take over-the-counter selenium supplements or a placebo for twelve months.Learn more about this prostate cancer clinical trial. 
- Clinical Trial Studies Combination of ALS and Kidney Cancer Drugs for Melanoma Use
Research is underway that aims to determine safe dosing levels for the drugs known as riluzole and sorafenib when used together in the treatment of patients with melanoma. CINJ studies of riluzole, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Lou Gehrig's disease, have shown evidence of tumor shrinkage in melanoma patients. Sorafenib, an FDA-approved drug used to treat kidney cancer and a form of liver cancer, is considered a "targeted therapy" that has been shown to slow the spread of cancer cells.
