Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06452485Recruiting
Re-irradiation with or without hyperthermia, or surgery only for recurrent breast cancer
This trial compares three treatment options for breast cancer that has come back in the chest or lymph nodes after previous radiation. It looks at adding hyperthermia (heating the tumor area) to re-irradiation, versus just re-irradiation or surgery alone, to see which offers better quality of life and survival with fewer side effects.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05081024Recruiting
Blood test biomarker to help preserve organs in rectal cancer
This study looks at a blood test (ctDNA, a way to detect cancer DNA in the bloodstream) to help doctors choose treatment that may spare organs for people with stage II–III rectal cancer. You may be followed to see how well the blood test can guide treatment decisions.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06330805RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing heart effects of two hormone therapies for prostate cancer
This trial compares two hormone therapies, relugolix and leuprolide, to see which one is better for your heart health in men with prostate cancer. It's for men with a specific type of prostate cancer that is not yet advanced.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03539822RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cabozantinib and immunotherapy for advanced stomach or bowel cancers
This early-phase study tests a combination of anti-cancer pills and immune-based treatment for people with advanced stomach, esophagus, colorectal, or liver cancer. It aims to shrink tumors and see how safe the treatment is, including whether biopsy testing can help guide future care.
Westwood, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05080556RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive chemotherapy for ovarian cancer after platinum and PARP
This trial tests a personalized (adaptive) chemotherapy plan for people with certain types of ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal cancer who already had platinum chemotherapy and a PARP inhibitor. It’s for patients whose cancer came back after (or still responds to) prior platinum treatment and may help delay disease progression.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06536127Recruiting
Immune cells in non-spreading rectal cancer treatment
This study is looking at immune cells (NK cells and ImmunoScore) in the blood of people with rectal cancer that hasn't spread. It may help doctors learn more about how the immune system responds to standard chemoradiation treatment.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT05840575Recruiting
Study of thinking changes in young people during cancer treatment
This study looks at how thinking and memory may change in children and young adults after a new cancer diagnosis, especially around chemotherapy. It may help doctors better understand and track brain-related side effects early.
