New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03920033Recruiting
Radiation schedule for prostate cancer PSA relapse after surgery
This trial compares two different radiation schedules to treat prostate cancer that returned based on rising PSA blood tests after prostatectomy (prostate removal). If you qualify, it may help you and your team choose a radiation approach with the goal of controlling PSA relapse.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT04519151RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib for ovarian cancer that returned
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib can shrink ovarian cancer that has come back after platinum chemotherapy. You may be eligible if your cancer returned after a certain “time off” from prior treatment and you meet key health and safety requirements.
Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT05984576Recruiting
Chemo and radiation for recurrent rectal cancer after prior pelvic radiation
This study looks at combining total neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and radiation) for rectal cancer that has come back in the pelvis after earlier radiation. It aims to see if this treatment approach can help control the disease and improve outcomes in patients with limited spread that can potentially be removed or treated.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06862856Recruiting
PET Scan for Men With Very Low PSA After Prostate Surgery
This trial tests a PET scan (flotufolastat F 18) to find tiny prostate cancer cells in men whose PSA is very low but still rising after prostate removal. It may help guide further treatment decisions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06941363Recruiting
Salvage radiotherapy for prostate cancer recurrence after surgery
This study tests a very short course of radiation given after prostate surgery, specifically for men whose PSA is rising again. The goal is to see if this approach can safely control the cancer.
Monza, ItalyAges 18–90 - NCT07108270RecruitingPhase 2
Study of dostarlimab plus chemotherapy for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug dostarlimab with standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) for people with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer that has a specific genetic feature called dMMR or MSI-H. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT01913106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing valacyclovir with an added cancer gene in prostate radiation
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether adding a cancer-targeting gene therapy (HSV-tk) and the antiviral medicine valacyclovir to brachytherapy can better treat recurrent prostate cancer in the prostate area. It may help by making cancer cells more vulnerable to the treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT02292641Recruiting
MRI study for repeat pelvic colorectal cancer
This study uses a special MRI to help understand and stage colorectal cancer that has come back in the pelvis. The goal is to improve how doctors make treatment decisions after previous surgery.
