Seoul, Seoul-teukbyeolsiAges 19 years+ - NCT06349590RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Diet before colon cancer surgery to reduce recurrence
This trial tests whether a specific diet before colon cancer surgery can change the bacteria in your gut to help prevent the cancer from coming back or spreading. Patients who are eligible will follow the diet for a short time before their operation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07171528RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery after chemo for recurrent ovarian cancer
This trial is for people with recurrent ovarian cancer whose disease came back more than 6 months after platinum chemo. It tests whether removing the recurrent tumor with surgery (after more chemo) can help—even if surgery wasn't an option before.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–80 - NCT06217874Recruiting
Collecting Samples and Data for Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer
This study collects tissue samples and health information from people with breast cancer that has spread or come back. It aims to help researchers learn more about the disease and may lead to better treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06654336RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy with or without hormone therapy for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This trial tests whether targeting the spots where cancer has returned with radiation or surgery, with or without hormone therapy, can help control prostate cancer that has come back in a few places after previous treatment.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07617753RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK Cell Therapy for Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy using modified natural killer cells (CAR-NK cells) that are trained to attack ovarian cancer cells. It's designed for patients whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to previous treatments.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06173349RecruitingPhase 1
New bladder therapy for BCG-resistant bladder cancer
This trial tests a new treatment for bladder cancer that does not respond to standard BCG therapy. The treatment uses tiny particles (micelles) that deliver a chemotherapy drug directly into the bladder, aiming to destroy cancer cells without needing surgery.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07131956Recruiting
Immune biomarkers in prostate cancer brachytherapy
This study looks at immune system markers in men getting brachytherapy (internal radiation) for prostate cancer. It may help us understand how the body responds to this treatment.
Augsburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT04881487Recruiting
Radiation treatment for local pancreatic cancer recurrence
This trial looks at additional treatment using a special type of focused radiation (stereotactic body radiation therapy) for pancreatic cancer that has come back only in the same area after surgery. It may help by controlling the local recurrence and possibly improving outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread elsewhere.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07116057RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for FRa-positive cancers
This trial tests a new treatment called MOv19-BBz CAR T cells, which are specially designed immune cells that target a protein called FRa found on some cancer cells. It's for people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the lung (malignant pleural effusion) and who have already tried at least one standard treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07136181RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of NBM-BMX for advanced uveal melanoma that has spread
This trial tests a new oral drug, NBM-BMX, for people with metastatic uveal melanoma (melanoma of the eye that has spread). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective. You may join if you have already tried some treatments, including tebentafusp if you are HLA-A*02:01 positive.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05804370RecruitingPhase 3
Gleolan to help surgeons find ovarian cancer during surgery
This Phase 3 study tests whether Gleolan (a medicine given before surgery) helps doctors better see ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer during an operation. It may help improve how well surgeons can remove visible tumor tissue during planned surgery.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04597294RecruitingPhase 3
Preventive pre-op HIPEC for advanced stomach cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding a heated chemotherapy procedure during surgery (HIPEC) before the main cancer treatment can lower the chance that stomach cancer returns in the belly. It is for people with advanced stomach cancer who are at higher risk of cancer coming back in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen).
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodshipAges 18–75 - NCT06617481RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan study for early prostate cancer recurrence
This trial uses a special PET scan to detect prostate cancer when your PSA level is slightly rising after prostate removal surgery. It aims to find cancer early so treatment decisions can be better informed.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04486131Recruiting
Test for treatment of recurrent rectal cancer in side lymph nodes
This trial focuses on rectal cancer that has come back in the side lymph nodes near the pelvis. It tests how to treat that “lateral nodal recurrence” to improve outcomes by targeting these specific lymph nodes.
