Edegem, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT05694559Recruiting
Genetic risk screening and counseling for Black adults
This study connects Black adults to genetic counseling and genetic testing to learn whether they may have an inherited cancer risk. It uses a simple risk screening tool, including visits by phone or video, to guide next steps.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07051044Recruiting
Cheek swab light test for lung cancer risk
This trial uses a simple cheek swab and a special light test to look for signs of lung cancer risk. It aims to help doctors decide who needs more testing, especially if you have symptoms or are currently being checked for lung cancer.
North ShieldsAges 18 years+ - NCT06523868Recruiting
Multi-cancer early detection test for military veterans
This trial is testing a blood test that looks for early signs of multiple types of cancer. It is designed for current or former military members who are at least 45 years old and have used VA healthcare. If the test finds something, you would need to be willing to travel to Boston for follow-up.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 45 years+ - NCT07168993Recruiting
Sputum test for lung cancer in high-risk people with lung nodules
This study tests a new, non-invasive test that looks at a sputum (phlegm) sample to see if it can detect lung cancer in people who have a lung nodule. The test might help avoid more invasive procedures and help doctors decide next steps.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 50–80 - NCT05775471RecruitingPhase 2
Check PD-1 plus enfortumab after kidney-urine-duct surgery
This Phase 2 study tests giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) and enfortumab vedotin (an antibody-drug medicine) before and after surgery to remove high-risk upper urinary tract cancer. The goal is to lower the chance the cancer comes back.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04453826RecruitingPhase 3
Test PD-1 plus chemo-radiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding a PD-1 immunotherapy (given with chemotherapy and radiation, and also after) can improve outcomes for people with high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help by strengthening the immune system’s attack on the cancer alongside standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06725576Recruiting
Comparing microwave ablation vs. surgery for low-risk thyroid cancer
This study compares a less invasive procedure (microwave ablation) with traditional surgery for treating a small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. If you have a single, small tumor with certain low-risk gene changes, you might be able to avoid surgery and have a quicker recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07438080Recruiting
HPV self-screening vs. doctor screening for anal cancer risk
This trial compares two ways to screen for HPV, a virus linked to anal cancer. People living with HIV will either collect their own sample or have a doctor do it, then switch methods. The goal is to see which is more comfortable and accurate.
