Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - NCT03968406RecruitingPhase 1
Talazoparib plus radiation for recurrent gynecologic cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether the cancer drug talazoparib, combined with radiation, can better control recurrent gynecologic cancers in the pelvis/abdomen. It focuses on patients whose cancer has come back locally enough that radiation can be given, while other disease is not rapidly worsening.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07278479RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a targeted radiation therapy for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called MP0712 that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells that have a marker called DLL3. It is for people with small cell lung cancer or other solid tumors that express DLL3, whose cancer has come back after prior treatments.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05945875RecruitingPhase 1
Dual scans to find head and neck cancer spread
This early-stage study tests two different imaging (scanning) methods to better detect head and neck cancer. Your results from the scans may help doctors see where disease is before standard surgery to remove lymph nodes in the neck.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT07705919RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MRI scans to monitor borderline resectable pancreatic cancer treatment
This study uses MRI scans to see how well chemotherapy and radiation work in people with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer – a type where surgery might be possible but is risky. The goal is to find the best way to measure tumor response so doctors can make better treatment decisions.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03253536Recruiting
Quality of life study after precise liver radiation
This study follows people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) to see how their quality of life changes after a focused form of radiation called stereotactic ablative radiation therapy. It does not appear to test a new drug—rather, it measures patient-reported well-being after treatment.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT02865330Recruiting
Registry study for men on active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer
This is a registry study that follows men with low-risk prostate cancer who choose active surveillance instead of immediate treatment. It helps doctors understand how safe and effective active surveillance is, including confirming results with repeat biopsies.
ValenciaAges 18–80 - NCT04782557Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided blood sampling to track cancer DNA
This study uses an ultrasound-guided procedure to collect blood and check for cancer DNA (small bits of tumor material in the bloodstream). It aims to see whether this method can better track how gastric, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer responds to treatment.
Hong KongAges Any age - NCT04065321Recruiting
Blood test for tumor cells in certain early breast cancers
This trial looks at a blood test that may detect “circulating tumor cells” (cancer cells that can travel in the bloodstream) in people with a specific type of breast cancer. It may help doctors better track the disease and guide treatment for people whose tumors have certain hormone and growth-factor features.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–60 - NCT05945407Recruiting
Fertility-sparing treatment for early endometrial cancer
This trial looks at a fertility-preserving treatment plan for people with early-stage endometrial cancer who want to keep the ability to have children. It may help you avoid surgery that removes fertility, if you meet the trial’s safety and eligibility rules.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT04416165Recruiting
FDG versus FAPI PET scans for different cancers
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans—one that uses FDG and one that uses FAPI—to help doctors see and evaluate cancer in different situations. It may help improve how well scans detect tumors and guide care, though it requires getting both scans scheduled.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–90 - NCT06168786RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo and radiation for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (cadonilimab, fruquintinib) plus targeted radiation (SBRT) for people with advanced MSS colorectal cancer who have already tried several standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
