Recruiting studies
- NCT05132283Recruiting
Lymph node removal for urologic cancers with advanced imaging
This study uses a special MRI scanner in the operating room to help guide lymph node removal during surgery for urologic cancers like bladder, prostate, testicular, kidney, urethral, or penile cancer. It aims to see if this real-time imaging can make the surgery more precise.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05184816RecruitingPhase 1
Deferoxamine for leptomeningeal cancer spread in the brain lining
This Phase 1 study tests deferoxamine, a medicine given directly into spinal fluid, for leptomeningeal metastasis (cancer spreading to the brain and spinal cord lining). It’s meant to see whether the treatment can be safely given and whether it may help control this difficult-to-treat cancer location.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05568550RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without olaparib for high-risk prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a medicine called olaparib to radiation helps men with high-risk prostate cancer. You may receive radiation alone or radiation plus olaparib, and the study looks at whether the combination works better.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT04031677RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery with or without chemotherapy for high-risk retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy before surgery helps people with high-risk retroperitoneal (abdominal-area) leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma. The goal is to improve outcomes while comparing surgery alone versus surgery plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04068155Recruiting
Radiation device for certain skin cancers you can treat locally
This trial tests a radiation-emitting device placed near the tumor to treat certain malignant skin cancers that can be fully covered. It may help shrink or control the cancer at the skin site where the device is applied.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT04165070RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stage IV lung cancer trial using pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy
This Phase 1/2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immune-based cancer treatment) either alone or with chemotherapy in people newly diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It looks at how well the treatments work and whether they are safe, especially in people who haven’t had treatment yet for metastatic disease.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04416165Recruiting
FDG versus FAPI PET scans for different cancers
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans—one that uses FDG and one that uses FAPI—to help doctors see and evaluate cancer in different situations. It may help improve how well scans detect tumors and guide care, though it requires getting both scans scheduled.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–90 - NCT04470024RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a vaccine plus immunotherapy for recurrent head and neck cancer
This early-phase (Phase 1b) study tests a vaccine designed to train the immune system to fight head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, plus standard immunotherapy. It may help some people by boosting the body’s anti-cancer immune response, but it mainly focuses on safety and finding the best approach.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT04622423Recruiting
Advanced therapies for colon or pancreas liver metastases
This study tests advanced treatments for cancer that has spread to the liver, either from colon cancer or pancreatic cancer. It may help by targeting liver tumors using treatment plans and, for some participants, liver tissue samples.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04686305RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug T-DXd plus immunotherapy, with or without chemotherapy for HER2+ lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests the safety (and early effectiveness) of T-DXd combined with immunotherapy, sometimes also with chemotherapy, in people with advanced lung cancer that is HER2-positive. It may help if standard options have been limited or your tumor does not have certain genetic changes that already have targeted treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04891289RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin with a chemotherapy pump for bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 study tests gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin chemotherapy, and whether adding a chemotherapy pump (with floxuridine and dexamethasone) delivered to the liver improves outcomes. It is for people whose intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cannot be removed with surgery.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04902443RecruitingPhase 1
Pomalidomide plus nivolumab for virus-related cancers
This trial studies pomalidomide plus nivolumab in people with cancers linked to certain viruses (or hepatitis B/C). It may help the immune system fight the cancer when the disease has returned, progressed, or can’t be fully treated with standard options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04997837RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant chemo with or without PD-1 for stomach cancer after surgery
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding an immune medicine called PD-1 (given as an “inhibitor”) to standard chemotherapy and chemoradiation after stomach/GEJ cancer surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back. You may qualify if you’ve had surgery removing the tumor and lymph nodes showed higher-risk disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05176665RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EMB-01 for advanced stomach, bile, liver, and colon cancers
This early-phase trial studies EMB-01 in people with advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal cancers to see how well it works and how safe it is. To join, your tumor’s DNA or protein pattern (especially EGFR or cMET) must match specific lab results, and you must have tried standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05184803RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemo for advanced stomach cancer with lymph spread
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy regimen given before surgery for stomach cancer that cannot be fully removed (unresectable), including spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to shrink the cancer and improve control with a well-known set of medicines given in a specific order.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05190978Recruiting
Test mesh use for breast reconstruction above the muscle
This study tests whether using surgical mesh can be done safely and works well in breast reconstruction done right away, in front of the chest muscle (pre-pectoral) using tissue expanders. It may help improve how the reconstructed area holds up, but you’d need to meet specific surgical and health requirements.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 22–75 - NCT05319730RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing new drugs, with or without pembrolizumab, for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial studies investigational cancer medicines, either alone or along with pembrolizumab, for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer whose cancer has grown despite prior immune and platinum-based treatment. It may offer a new option after standard therapy has not worked.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05370079Recruiting
Control group for people with specific serious illnesses
This trial includes a “control” group of people with certain diseases to compare outcomes against another group. If you qualify, you may receive the standard approach used in usual care rather than the experimental treatment.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT05386108RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test abemaciclib plus elacestrant for breast cancer brain spread
This trial studies whether the combination of abemaciclib and elacestrant can slow or shrink ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It is designed for people whose cancer has progressed despite prior hormone (endocrine) treatment.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05554302RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan study for brain metastases after surgery
This trial studies how well a special PET scan tracer (18F-fluciclovine) shows amino-acid changes in brain metastases after they are surgically removed. It may help improve how doctors detect and understand brain metastases and guide follow-up treatment like targeted radiation (SRS).
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05596578Recruiting
Study of lymph nodes during lung surgery for early lung cancer
This study looks at certain lymph nodes removed during surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has grown into the covering of the lung. The goal is to better understand lymph node involvement and help guide future treatment decisions.
LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT05794035Recruiting
Shorter radiation after skin cancer surgery for older adults
This study looks at whether giving a shorter course of radiation after surgery can help prevent skin cancer from coming back in people age 70 and older. It focuses on higher-risk skin cancers and checks how well the treatment works and what side effects occur.
CréteilAges 70 years+ - NCT05884723Recruiting
Ketogenic diet before liver surgery for fatty liver
This trial tests whether a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet before liver surgery can reduce fat in the liver. It is aimed at people with colorectal liver metastases who already have fatty liver seen on scans or biopsy.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05904119RecruitingPhase 3
Lomustine with or without re-irradiation for recurring glioblastoma
This trial studies whether adding repeat radiation (called re-irradiation) to the chemotherapy medicine lomustine can slow or control glioblastoma that has returned or progressed after standard treatment. It’s designed for people whose tumor comes back at least 6 months after their last radiation.
