Testing tumor genetics in young people with bone sarcomas
This study looks at the genetic (DNA) features of tumors in children, teens, and young adults with osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, or synovial sarcoma. It may help researchers better understand these cancers by analyzing a fresh tumor sample and a blood sample.
Torino, TurinAges Up to 24 years - NCT05746793Recruiting
IVF pregnancy study to prevent pre-eclampsia in high-risk women
This trial studies ways to lower the risk of pre-eclampsia (dangerous high blood pressure in pregnancy) in women who are having a first pregnancy through IVF/ICSI or who have PCOS. It’s aimed at people considered higher risk for pre-eclampsia.
BrusselsAges 18–48 - NCT05556603Recruiting
Blood test trial to detect pancreatic cancer early
This trial studies whether a blood-based test can help detect pancreatic cancer (or strong signs of it) earlier than usual. The goal is to see how well “liquid biopsy” results match real diagnoses and risk levels.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40–75 - NCT04737317Recruiting
Check criteria to diagnose cardiac sarcoidosis
This study tests how doctors can best tell whether someone has cardiac sarcoidosis, a condition where inflammation affects the heart. It may help you get a more accurate diagnosis using expert guidelines and special heart tests, and it groups patients as proven, probable, or unlikely.
LeipzigAges 18 years+ - NCT04722692RecruitingPhase 3
Delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy for ductal cancer in situ
This trial tests whether doing a sentinel lymph node biopsy later (after breast surgery) is a safe, accurate way to check if cancer has spread. It uses a special tracking shot that helps find the lymph nodes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05981014RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune cells from lymph nodes for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether taking immune cells from your lymph nodes and giving them back to you can help shrink breast cancer that has not responded fully to initial chemotherapy. It is for women with HER2-negative breast cancer who have had stable disease after two cycles of a standard chemotherapy combination.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06011694Recruiting
The Jinling Cohort: a health monitoring study
This study tracks healthy adults in Nanjing over three years to see if routine checkups and blood tests can detect early signs of disease. Participants will give blood samples, fill out health questionnaires, and have yearly physicals.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 45–75 - NCT05879783Recruiting
Optical biopsy during surgery for colorectal belly tumors
This trial looks at using a special light-based method (optical biopsy) to examine small growths on the lining of the abdomen during colorectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors better assess these peritoneal nodules while you are already having an operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT06028724Recruiting
Looking for cancer mutations using a blood test
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to find genetic changes in advanced solid tumors. It may help doctors choose the right treatment and monitor how well it works over time.
Aviano, PordononeAges 18 years+ - NCT04931732Recruiting
Liquid blood test to diagnose brain glioma
This trial checks whether a special blood test can help identify glioma (a type of brain tumor) that is new or coming back. It may help doctors learn more about the tumor using blood, alongside the usual brain scans and planned surgery.
BronAges 18–90 - NCT05918510Recruiting
Blood and tumor study for virus markers in throat cancer
This study looks at virus-related markers and tiny gene regulators (microRNAs) in tumor tissue from people with certain throat cancers caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). It’s observational, meaning it does not change your treatment, but results may help doctors better understand these cancers and how they behave.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT04741737Recruiting
Repeat lymph node biopsy for recurrent breast cancer
This study tests whether repeating a specific lymph node biopsy (sentinel lymph node biopsy) is safe and useful in people whose breast cancer has come back in the same breast. It may help doctors better understand whether lymph nodes are involved and guide next steps after surgery.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06121570RecruitingPhase 1
Study of immune cells from lymph nodes for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether using a patient's own immune cells from lymph nodes near the tumor, given as a treatment before surgery, can help shrink HER2-negative breast cancer. It is for people whose cancer has not responded fully to two cycles of initial chemotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06146738Recruiting
Palliative care vs. surgery for high-grade glioma patients
This study compares receiving palliative care (supportive treatments) versus surgery (removing the tumor) for people with a high-grade glioma, a fast-growing brain tumor. The goal is to find out which approach improves quality of life and survival.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06029504Recruiting
Optical-guided sentinel node biopsy for vulvar cancer staging
This trial tests a new optical method using a dye to find and remove the first lymph node (sentinel node) that cancer might spread to, to stage vulvar cancer more accurately. It's for patients with a smaller tumor (under 4 cm) that hasn't been treated in the groin area before.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06161428Recruiting
Dye-guided lymph node biopsy for vulvar cancer
This trial tests a new way to find and remove the first lymph node that might contain cancer cells in women with large or recurrent vulvar cancer. It uses a special dye to guide the surgeon, which may help improve staging and reduce side effects.
