Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 20–90 - NCT03825861RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery chemotherapy for locally advanced stomach cancer
This Phase 2 study tests chemotherapy given before surgery (called FOLFIRINOX) for people with locally advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes after the surgery plan is completed.
São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT04668261Recruiting
Brain blood flow changes in neurosurgery patients over time
This study uses repeated MRI scans to measure how blood flow to the brain changes over time in people with certain neurosurgical conditions. It aims to better understand brain circulation changes, which may help doctors plan care more effectively.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04260165Recruiting
Wrist surgery options for certain wrist arthritis
This trial compares two types of wrist surgery for osteoarthritis in the wrist bones (SLAC/SNAC stage II–III). It may help you and your surgeon choose the procedure that best improves pain and wrist function for your specific wrist arthritis pattern.
HelsinkiAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT04733820RecruitingPhase 3
Extra chemo after surgery for advanced cervical cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding chemotherapy after surgery helps people with locally advanced cervical cancer, especially when prior treatment didn’t fully match standard guidelines. It looks at whether this “adjuvant” chemotherapy improves outcomes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and an extensive hysterectomy.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT03025477RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two first-treatment options for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares two different treatment strategies as the first chemotherapy after surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian-tube cancer. It may help doctors find a more effective or better-tolerated approach for people in your situation.
DijonAges 18–75 - NCT04771507RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing intermittent ibrutinib for advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This trial studies whether taking ibrutinib in a less continuous (“intermittent”) schedule can keep your chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) under control. It’s for people who have already received ibrutinib for at least 6 months and had a good early response, aiming to reduce treatment intensity while tracking safety and cancer control.
TrondheimAges 18 years+ - NCT04843215Recruiting
Surgery comparison for advanced stomach cancer after initial surgery
This trial studies whether removing all of the fatty lining (omentum) or only part of it during surgery leads to better outcomes in people with advanced stomach cancer. It also checks that participants can safely have the same stomach-cancer chemotherapy plan after surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT02838602Recruiting
Carbon beam radiation vs standard radiation for resistant tumors
This study compares carbon beam radiation with standard radiation for tumors that are less likely to respond to usual radiation. It aims to see whether carbon beams can improve control of the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05148767RecruitingPhase 4
