Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06917781Recruiting
Prostate cancer blood test vs. PSMA-PET scan study
This study is checking how well a blood test (liquid biopsy) can find prostate cancer and compare it to a special PET scan (PSMA-PET). If you qualify, you might help improve how we track prostate cancer without needing more invasive biopsies.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT02997709Recruiting
Collecting prostate cancer body marker samples during treatment
This study collects and measures “biomarkers” (measurable signs in the body) from people with prostate cancer who are about to have surgery or radiation. The goal is to understand how prostate cancer behaves during treatment, which may help improve care in the future.
Miami, FloridaAges 30 years+ - NCT06577844Recruiting
Video support for lung cancer surgery patients
This trial tests whether a video tool helps patients prepare for lung cancer surgery. It aims to improve understanding and reduce anxiety before and after the procedure.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06762483Recruiting
Blood test for gene changes in advanced breast cancer
This trial uses a simple blood test to look for two specific gene changes (ESR-1 and gBRCA) in people with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread. It aims to detect these mutations earlier and help guide future treatment decisions.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07167446RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CBD to prevent nerve damage from oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer
This trial tests if cannabidiol (CBD) can prevent nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin. If you have colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and you are about to start oxaliplatin, you may be able to join.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07680439RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T cell therapy study for children with DIPG brain tumor
This trial tests a new CAR T cell therapy (BCB-276) for children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called DIPG. The therapy uses your own immune cells that are specially trained to attack the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–26 - NCT06847555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Taurine cream to prevent skin burns from radiation in breast cancer
This trial tests if a taurine cream applied to the skin can prevent or reduce the painful skin reactions caused by radiation therapy for breast cancer. It may offer a simple way to protect your skin during treatment.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06824688Recruiting
Comparing robotic surgery types for rectal cancer
This trial compares two robotic surgery methods for rectal cancer: using one small incision (single-port) versus several small incisions (multi-port). The goal is to see which approach offers better outcomes while preserving the sphincter (the muscle that controls bowel movements).
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT05586256Recruiting
Shorter radiation for early breast cancer after breast surgery
This trial studies giving whole-breast radiation in a shorter, more concentrated way after breast-conserving surgery. It aims to see if this “ultra-short” schedule is effective and safe for people with early breast cancer.
PerugiaAges 18–99 - NCT07558083RecruitingPhase 3
Tracking colorectal cancer response using blood tests
This study tests whether a simple blood test can track how well your colorectal cancer is responding to first-line chemotherapy. By monitoring cancer markers in your blood, doctors may be able to detect treatment changes earlier than traditional imaging.
Mechelen, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT07491380Recruiting
Blood monitoring for breast cancer drugs at home
This study tests a finger-prick blood test you can do at home to check levels of your breast cancer medication (ribociclib, abemaciclib, or palbociclib). The goal is to make monitoring easier and more convenient.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03449238RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pembrolizumab with focused brain radiation for breast cancer brain spread
This trial studies whether pembrolizumab (an immune therapy medicine) plus stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation) can better control brain metastases from breast cancer. It may help shrink or slow growth of multiple brain spots with minimal treatment to surrounding tissue.
New York, New YorkAges 19–90 - NCT04787354RecruitingPhase 3
Choosing the best length of oxaliplatin after stomach surgery
This trial tests whether giving oxaliplatin for a shorter or longer time works best after curative surgery for stage II–III stomach (or stomach–esophagus junction) cancer. It aims to improve outcomes while balancing side effects from chemotherapy.
Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07238894Recruiting
