Terrassa, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03855800Recruiting
Test to detect risky changes in pancreatic cysts
This study looks for molecular (lab) signals that may show advanced or higher-risk changes in certain pancreatic cysts. It may help doctors better sort which cysts are more concerning and may need closer attention.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–120 - NCT03875781RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo before rectal surgery, without pelvic radiation
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving chemotherapy before rectal surgery can work as well as standard treatment that usually includes pelvic radiation. It aims to reduce the need for pelvic radiation while still keeping the cancer under control.
Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT03880422Recruiting
Exercise and nutrition for weight and frailty after prostate cancer treatment
This study tests whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve obesity-related frailty and overall function in people with advanced prostate cancer who are taking hormone therapy (ADT). It may help with strength, mobility, and healthier body weight during/after ADT.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03899428RecruitingPhase 2
Immune therapy versus targeted therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial compares an immune “checkpoint” medicine to a targeted cancer medicine in people with advanced liver cancer who have hepatitis B in the blood. It aims to lower hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels and see which approach works better and is safest.
Hong Kong, Hong Kong SARAges 18 years+ - NCT03919552RecruitingPhase 3
Chemoradiation with two cisplatin or carboplatin plans for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two chemotherapy-and-radiation combinations (cisplatin-based vs carboplatin-based) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help researchers find which plan works best while balancing safety and effectiveness.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–64 - NCT03938155Recruiting
Risk check program for older women in Manitoba
This trial looks at how well a health risk assessment can identify heart and blood-vessel problems in women 55 and older. It may help doctors target prevention earlier, which could lower the chance of serious events.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 55 years+ - NCT03958240Recruiting
Study how cancers trigger the immune system
This study looks at what makes some cancers more “noticeable” to the immune system. It may help researchers design better future immunotherapy by collecting information (often including blood samples) from people with different cancers.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT03964753RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo before surgery for middle-lower esophageal cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin) given before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by treating cancer earlier while it’s still in one region.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT03971045RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus low-dose oral chemo for chest wall breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus low-dose oral cyclophosphamide in people with chest wall breast cancer that has spread locally and may have distant metastases. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and control cancer longer, especially in tumors with certain immune markers.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT03976245RecruitingPhase 4
