Use advocates to boost lung cancer screening
This trial tests whether trained advocates and supporters can help people who are eligible for lung cancer screening actually get screened. It may help you (and others) by making screening easier to plan and complete.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 40–80 - NCT06601621Recruiting
Acupuncture and self-massage for quality of life during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether combining electroacupuncture with self-acupressure can improve quality of life for people with early-stage breast cancer during chemotherapy. The treatment is non-invasive and aims to reduce side effects.
Xining, QinghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07533123RecruitingPhase 3
New drug JSKN016 for triple-negative breast cancer after chemotherapy
This study tests a new drug called JSKN016 against standard chemotherapy options for triple-negative breast cancer that has stopped responding to previous treatments. The trial aims to find out if JSKN016 works better or offers other benefits for patients like you.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07354022RecruitingPhase 3
Study of HRS-8080 with dalpiciclib for advanced breast cancer after hormone therapy fails
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (HRS-8080 and dalpiciclib) for women with advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has stopped responding to initial hormone therapy after surgery. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06240195Recruiting
Study of sacituzumab govitecan for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study is testing a drug called sacituzumab govitecan (SG) for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who have already had other treatments. The goal is to see how well the drug works and what side effects it causes, using your tumor samples to look for clues (biomarkers).
Rome, RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07175077Recruiting
7T MRI scan to find tiny brain metastases in small-cell lung cancer
This trial uses a powerful 7T MRI scanner to detect very small brain metastases in people with small-cell lung cancer who choose not to get preventive brain radiation. The goal is to see if this advanced scan can find hidden spots in the brain that regular MRIs miss.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05985954RecruitingPhase 1
