Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05416164Recruiting
Testes less radiation after a complete response to medicines
This study checks whether some people with breast cancer who have no remaining cancer after medicine (neoadjuvant systemic therapy) can safely receive less radiation. It may help reduce side effects while still keeping cancer controlled.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05535413RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
UTD1 plus capecitabine for HER2-negative breast cancer brain mets
This trial tests whether adding a study drug called UTD1 to capecitabine can shrink or control breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It’s for people with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who have brain metastases and meet specific safety and lab requirements.
ChangshaAges 18–70 - NCT05388773RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery then lower-dose radiation for p16+ throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether removing the tumor through the mouth, followed by a reduced course of radiation, can control HPV-related (p16+) oropharynx throat cancer. It may help reduce treatment intensity after surgery, while still aiming to keep the cancer from coming back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06209294RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo before fertility-sparing surgery for cervical cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (AK104) and standard chemotherapy before surgery for a certain type of early-stage cervical cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink the tumor enough to allow fertility-preserving surgery, so you may be able to keep your uterus.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT05665920Recruiting
Shorter radiation after breast surgery for certain node-positive cancer
This trial compares a shorter, more concentrated radiation schedule versus a standard shorter schedule after breast-conserving surgery. It looks at whether the treatment works well and is safe, especially for women whose lymph nodes also need radiation.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06114108Recruiting
Adding local treatment to drug therapy for stage IV lung cancer
This trial compares continuing drug therapy alone versus adding local treatments (surgery or radiation) for people with stage IV lung cancer that has responded to initial treatment but still has a few remaining spots (oligometastatic). The goal is to see if targeting those spots with local therapy helps control the cancer longer.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT05774678RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery radiation options for invasive breast cancer
This trial compares two schedules of radiation given before mastectomy to see which works better for invasive breast cancer, followed by immediate breast reconstruction. It also studies tiny “biomarker” signals in tissue to learn why one radiation approach may help more.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06856499RecruitingPhase 1
Cirtuvivint and Olaparib for BRCA-related ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, cirtuvivint and olaparib, for a specific type of ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemotherapy. It may be an option if you have a BRCA mutation or HRD-positive tumor and have already tried a PARP inhibitor.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06028022RecruitingPhase 2
Reishi mushroom for fatigue and joint/muscle pain in breast cancer
This trial tests whether a reishi mushroom extract can help reduce fatigue and joint or muscle pain in people with breast cancer who are taking aromatase inhibitors. If you have these symptoms, you may be able to join.
Albert Lea, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06114589Recruiting
Predicting radiation side effects in breast cancer
This study is looking for biomarkers (genetic clues) to predict how patients will react to radiation after breast-conserving surgery. It aims to create a model that can personalize treatment to reduce side effects.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT06915857RecruitingPhase 3
Betamethasone cream vs moisturizer for radiation rash in large-breasted women
This trial tests whether a betamethasone steroid cream works better than regular moisturizer to prevent skin reactions from radiation therapy. It is for women with large breasts who are getting radiation lying face down after breast-conserving surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06925984Recruiting
Targeted radiation for breast cancer that has spread and is growing a little
This trial tests whether giving focused, high-dose radiation to spots where the cancer is growing can help control the disease while you stay on your current hormone therapy and/or CDK4/6 inhibitor. It is for people with ER+/HER2- breast cancer that has spread to a few places and is slowly starting to progress.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07098598RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using FAPI-PET to diagnose pancreatic cancer
This trial uses a special imaging scan called FAPI-PET to help doctors better diagnose pancreatic cancer. If you are suspected of having pancreatic cancer or a recurrence, this study may help confirm or clarify your diagnosis.
TurkuAges 18–85 - NCT06678776Recruiting
Study of breast fascia during mastectomy or reduction
This trial studies the natural structure of connective tissue (fascia) in the breast during surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to preserve important structures during mastectomy or breast reduction.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT05219695RecruitingPhase 1
Ultrasound imaging and treatment for breast tumors
This study uses focused ultrasound waves to create detailed images of breast tumors and deliver targeted treatment. It aims to improve how breast tumors are treated while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06518135Recruiting
Sentinel node biopsy after chemo for initial node-positive breast cancer
This trial checks whether a less invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy (removing just a few nodes) can safely replace full lymph node removal for people whose breast cancer and underarm lymph nodes responded well to chemotherapy. It is for patients who initially had 1 to 3 involved nodes and now appear cancer-free in the armpit.
Henan, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT05856383Recruiting
HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer drug combination study
This trial tests whether inetetamab combined with pyrotinib and vinorelbine works better and is safe for adults with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer. You may be considered if standard options have not removed the cancer with surgery and your body can handle chemotherapy and HER2-targeting medicines.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06137833Recruiting
Micronutrient supplement for severe tiredness in breast cancer chemo
This study tests whether a specially designed vitamin and mineral supplement can help reduce severe tiredness in women while they are receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. If you are currently in treatment and have bothersome fatigue, this trial may offer a way to feel better.
Brescia, BRESCIAAges 18 years+ - NCT04606446RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for ER-positive, HER2-negative cancers after treatment
This Phase 2 study tests a new Pfizer medicine (PF-07248144) for certain advanced or metastatic breast, prostate, or lung cancers that have not responded to standard treatment or no standard options exist. You may qualify if you have a specific tumor type and a limited number of prior cancer treatments, and if your body functions (blood, liver, kidneys) and heart rhythm meet safety limits.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02468024RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery or focused radiation for early lung cancer
This study compares two treatments—removing only part of the lung (sublobar resection) versus a focused radiation approach (stereotactic ablative radiotherapy)—for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which option works better with fewer problems for the right patients.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04356235Recruiting
Comparing immediate vs delayed breast implant reconstruction results
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast with implants, looking at cosmetic results, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help you understand which approach could fit you better and what to expect over follow-up time.
BudapestAges 18–65 - NCT04371913Recruiting
Second chance breast-conserving treatment for certain breast recurrences
This trial studies a personalized plan to remove and re-treat a limited breast recurrence while trying to keep the breast. It may help people whose cancer came back in the same breast after prior breast-conserving treatment, with certain size and spread limits.
