Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05557474Recruiting
Test of a lung cancer prognosis kit after early tumor removal
This study tests a lab “prognosis kit” to better predict how early-stage lung cancer may progress after the tumor has been fully removed. You may be asked to provide tumor samples and possibly blood/body fluid samples so researchers can validate the kit.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT02889666RecruitingPhase 1
Chemo plus surgery for recurrent lung cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests whether giving chemotherapy along with surgery is safe and tolerable for people with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. It may help guide future treatment for cancer that has returned, especially if it has not spread to distant sites.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT06839144RecruitingPhase 2
Medications before surgery to slow ovarian cancer growth
This trial tests whether giving two common medications before and after surgery can slow the growth of ovarian cancer. The medications may help reduce stress signals that could make cancer spread faster during surgery.
Ramat GanAges 20–85 - NCT06157151RecruitingPhase 2
New drug plus pembrolizumab for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a new experimental drug, PRGN-2009, combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with HPV-related cervical cancer that has come back or spread. It is for those who have already tried pembrolizumab and are looking for another option.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07594015RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab and Lenvatinib for Recurrent Endometrial Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (pembrolizumab and lenvatinib) for endometrial cancer that has come back after initial treatment with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The study focuses on a specific type of cancer based on genetic testing and may help patients whose cancer didn't respond to standard first-line treatment.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07400809Recruiting
Cervical cancer with limited spread: a study on treatment results
This study looks at women with cervical cancer that has spread to only a few places (oligo-metastatic) or come back in a few places (oligo-recurrent). It hopes to understand how well treating those spots with radiation or other local treatments works, even if you've already had treatment before.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges Any age - NCT07073794RecruitingPhase 2
Home versus clinic cancer therapy for Black men with prostate cancer
This study looks at whether giving certain prostate cancer treatments at home (instead of the clinic) works as well for Black men. If you qualify, you may get your regular treatment at home with a nurse.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05304858Recruiting
Study of prostate cancer spread using biopsy and lab tests
This trial studies the “microenvironment” around prostate cancer metastases, using specimens taken during biopsy and other scans. It may help researchers understand what drives prostate cancer spread and improve future treatment choices.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06087068RecruitingPhase 2
Thyroid hormone therapy after lobectomy for low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is testing whether thyroid hormone replacement after surgery is safe for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It may help maintain normal hormone levels after part of the thyroid is removed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1.5 years–70 years - NCT05036226RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
COAST therapy for advanced prostate or other solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests the COAST therapy approach in people with advanced solid tumor cancers or advanced prostate cancer that has continued to grow despite standard treatments. The study aims to see how well the treatment works and whether it is safe enough to continue studying.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06791460RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A study of two drug combinations for ovarian cancer that came back
This trial tests a common chemotherapy (Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin) plus an immunotherapy (Adebrelimab), with or without a bladder medication (Mirabegron), in people whose ovarian cancer has returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if adding Mirabegron helps the other drugs work better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06458413RecruitingPhase 2
Utidelone plus capecitabine for metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, utidelone and capecitabine, for women with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors and slow the cancer's growth.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT05592938Recruiting
Partial breast re-irradiation for cancer recurrence
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation to only the part of the breast where cancer has come back. It's for women who had radiation years ago and now have a small new or recurrent tumor that can be removed by surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT06220188RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA therapy for prostate cancer that has come back
This trial tests a targeted radiation therapy (PSMA-RLT) for men whose prostate cancer has returned after initial treatment, shown only by rising PSA levels. It aims to control the cancer without using hormone therapy.
ViennaAges 18–80 - NCT06292286Recruiting
Second surgery for recurrent ovarian cancer that responds to platinum
This trial tests whether having a second surgery after initial treatment can help people with ovarian cancer that came back but still responds to platinum-based chemotherapy. It may offer another option to remove remaining tumors and delay further treatments.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07332247RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo then immediate vs selective re-radiation for advanced recurrent NPC
This trial is for people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back in the same area. It tests whether giving additional radiation right after chemo plus immunotherapy works better than waiting to see if more radiation is needed later.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07540260Recruiting
Imaging-Guided Radiation Therapy for Advanced Kidney Cancer
This trial uses two types of PET scans to better target radiation therapy in patients with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has spread or returned. The goal is to combine radiation with standard drug treatments to improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06640881RecruitingPhase 2
Repeat breast-conserving surgery with partial reirradiation
This trial tests a new approach for women whose breast cancer has returned in the same breast after earlier surgery and radiation. Instead of removing the whole breast, doctors will remove only the tumor again and give a small, focused dose of radiation before surgery, aiming to preserve the breast.
AmsterdamAges 50 years+ - NCT05946824RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for prostate cancer that returned after surgery
This trial tests a new way of delivering radiation for prostate cancer that has come back after prostate surgery. It may help control the cancer by targeting the “prostate bed” area or nearby lymph nodes where it returned.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07501650RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab plus ultrasound bubbles for head and neck cancer
This trial combines the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with a special ultrasound technique that uses tiny bubbles to make the treatment work better. It is for people with HPV-negative head and neck cancer that has come back or spread to other parts of the body.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05990192RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT with or without niraparib for ovarian cancer after PARP inhibitor treatment
This trial tests a new treatment approach for people with ovarian cancer that has started to progress in a few spots (up to 3) after taking a PARP inhibitor. It combines targeted radiation (SBRT) to those spots, followed by another PARP inhibitor (niraparib), to see if this can control the cancer further.
Leeds, LeedsAges 18 years+ - NCT06058988RecruitingPhase 2
T-DXd for people with brain cancer
This trial tests a drug called Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) for people with brain tumors that are either glioblastoma or have spread from other cancers. Doctors will see if T-DXd can shrink tumors or slow their growth, and they will collect tumor tissue during surgery or biopsy to study how the drug works.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07098598RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using FAPI-PET to diagnose pancreatic cancer
This trial uses a special imaging scan called FAPI-PET to help doctors better diagnose pancreatic cancer. If you are suspected of having pancreatic cancer or a recurrence, this study may help confirm or clarify your diagnosis.
