Recruiting studies
- NCT06488222RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy for low-grade bladder cancer that comes back
This trial tests whether putting two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) directly into the bladder can treat low-grade bladder cancer that is at intermediate risk. The goal is to see if this approach can help people avoid more invasive treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06451445Recruiting
Focal IRE treatment for intermediate-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a new focal treatment called IRE (irreversible electroporation) that uses electrical pulses to destroy prostate cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. It is for men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer that has not spread outside the prostate gland.
Toronto, OntarioAges 50 years+ - NCT06397703RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone Blockers and Radiation for Prostate Cancer
This trial tests whether adding hormone therapy (ADT) to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) works better than SBRT alone for men with a specific type of prostate cancer called 'unfavorable intermediate risk.' The goal is to see if the combination helps control the cancer better.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05754580Recruiting
Boost radiation for intermediate or higher-risk prostate cancer
This study tests a stronger, focused radiation plan for intermediate to higher-risk prostate cancer. It combines a high-dose internal radiation “boost” with external radiation to try to improve cancer control while keeping side effects manageable.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT05448547RecruitingPhase 3
Tested curative vs conservative treatment for older men with high-risk prostate cancer
This Phase 3 study compares an immediate curative treatment plan versus a more conservative approach in men age 75 and older with newly diagnosed, high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see which strategy controls the cancer while better protecting quality of life.
CopenhagenAges 75 years+ - NCT05346848RecruitingPhase 2
Darolutamide plus radiation for intermediate-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding darolutamide to standard radiation can better control intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It includes men whose cancer has spread nowhere else and who are newly diagnosed with “unfavorable intermediate risk” or progress to that risk group.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT05313815Recruiting
Test a stronger prostate radiation boost for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies whether giving a moderate “boost” dose of radiation to the prostate—along with radiation to the pelvic area—can better control high-risk localized prostate cancer. You may benefit if you have high-risk disease and can safely receive radiation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05297617RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter hormone therapy for low-risk postmenopausal breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether women with very low-risk, hormone-receptor positive breast cancer can safely take hormone therapy for a shorter time. It may help reduce side effects if shorter treatment works as well as the longer standard plan.
LimogesAges 51 years+ - NCT04921137RecruitingPhase 4
Testing benefits and side effects of hormone therapy in older breast cancer patients
This study looks at the potential harms and benefits of hormone (endocrine) therapy in people age 70 and older with early-stage, hormone-receptor–positive breast cancer. It may help doctors choose which hormone treatment approach is safest and most helpful for older patients.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 70 years+ - NCT04402151RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA scan–guided targeted radiation for higher-risk prostate cancer
This trial uses a special PET/MR scan to help doctors aim stereotactic radiation more precisely for certain higher-risk or unfavorable intermediate prostate cancers. It studies whether this targeted approach can safely treat the prostate (and specific areas needing extra treatment) without spreading to the body.
New York, New YorkAges 21–90 - NCT03451383Recruiting
Study brain changes in older breast cancer patients
This study follows older women with newly diagnosed breast cancer to see who might develop thinking or memory problems over time. It may help researchers understand early brain risk and how treatment and other factors relate to cognitive decline.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 60–105 - NCT01492972RecruitingPhase 3
Lighter radiation, with or without hormone suppression
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving a smaller amount of radiation (“hypo-fractionated” means fewer, larger sessions) can work as well as standard approaches for intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It also compares adding hormone therapy (“androgen suppression”) to radiation versus using radiation alone.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06804395Recruiting
Community cancer screening registry study
This study creates a registry to better understand and improve cancer screening for people at higher risk. By joining, you help researchers learn how to prevent and manage cancer in your community.
Totowa, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07661927RecruitingPhase 2
Skipping hormone therapy for low-risk breast cancer
This trial tests whether women with very low-risk, early-stage breast cancer can safely skip hormone therapy after surgery. It is designed for women who are 60 or older and whose cancer shows no spread to lymph nodes and has favorable biology.
AngersAges 60 years+ - NCT05006131Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer screening for people at higher risk
This study looks at how to screen the pancreas in people who are at increased risk for pancreatic cancer, using a set of risk guidelines. Screening may help find cancer (or early changes) sooner, when it may be easier to treat.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT07552584Recruiting
Blood test to screen for early lung cancer in COPD patients
This study uses an AI-powered blood test to identify people at high risk for lung cancer early, before symptoms appear. You'd be helping researchers see if this blood test can catch lung cancer sooner in people with COPD who have a smoking history.
VejleAges 50 years+ - NCT03280511RecruitingPhase 2
After surgery chemo sprayed into the abdomen for high-risk colon cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether spraying chemotherapy into the abdomen (through a small procedure) after colon cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It is meant for people with high-risk tumor features but who have had surgery and have no proven relapse yet.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT07298096Recruiting
Vacuum thrombectomy for pulmonary embolism in cancer patients
This trial tests a computer-assisted vacuum device to remove blood clots from the lungs of people with cancer. It aims to see if this procedure is safe and improves quality of life for those with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05762900RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter breast radiation after surgery for low-risk breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a shorter, focused radiation treatment after breast surgery, either alone or with an extra targeted boost. It’s for people with low-risk breast cancer and no spread to distant organs, aiming to keep results while reducing treatment time and side effects.
BeijingAges 35 years+ - NCT07505472RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Short radiation plus chemo and immunotherapy for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests a new approach for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has high-risk features. It combines short-course radiation with chemotherapy (CapeOX) and the immunotherapy drug toripalimab, with or without another drug called surufatinib, before surgery. The goal is to see if adding these drugs helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT06492616RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant versus standard hormone therapy for early breast cancer
This trial compares a new medicine, elacestrant, to the usual hormone therapy for people with early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative, and who have a high chance of it coming back. The goal is to see if elacestrant works better at preventing the cancer from returning.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05740111Enrolling by invitation
Watching early for pancreatic cancer in people at high risk
This study tests a personalized “watch and check” plan to help find pancreatic cancer as early as possible in people with a strong family history or certain inherited gene changes. It may help doctors tailor how often you’re monitored based on your risk.
OsloAges 30–80 - NCT07580196Recruiting
Comparing lymph node removal approaches in aggressive prostate cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches for removing lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery in men with high-risk disease on one side of the prostate. The goal is to determine whether removing lymph nodes from both sides or just one side provides better outcomes.
Rozzano, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06800599Enrolling by invitation
