Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05982678RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a drug for breast cancer that has spread to a few spots
This trial tests a drug for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to only a few places in the body (up to 5 spots). It aims to see if the treatment works well before starting stronger therapies.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05977036Recruiting
Choosing breast cancer treatment with biomarker testing
This study helps doctors choose the best first or second treatment for breast cancer that has spread or can't be removed. It uses a blood test to look at your cancer's markers, which may help guide which therapy is right for you. The study is for people with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who are about to start treatment with hormone therapy plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor, or another type of therapy.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05984589Recruiting
Personal health coaching for colorectal cancer survivors
This study tests a personalized health coaching program to help colorectal cancer survivors improve their lifestyle habits, such as diet and physical activity, which may improve their health and well-being.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05982496RecruitingPhase 2
PET/MRI scan for certain breast cancer types
This trial is studying if a special PET/MRI scan using a tracer called 18F FES can help doctors decide the best treatment for people with Luminal A or hormone-receptor-positive lobular breast cancer. The scan looks at estrogen receptors to see if your cancer might respond to hormone therapy.
Milan, MIAges 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+ - NCT05972343Recruiting
Cooling treatment to shrink breast tumors without surgery
This trial tests a cooling-based procedure (called cryoablation) to destroy a breast cancer tumor in people who cannot or do not want surgery. It may help shrink the visible tumor without needing an operating room.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05946577Recruiting
Links tinnitus and hearing changes after head and neck cancer treatment
This study looks at how tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hearing problems may develop after radiotherapy alone or with certain chemotherapy for high-risk head and neck cancer. The goal is to better understand who is more likely to experience these side effects.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05952141Recruiting
Help close delays from cervical cancer diagnosis to treatment
This study aims to find practical ways to shorten the time between a cervical cancer diagnosis and starting treatment, using Botswana’s local testing system. If you are eligible, the study may help improve how quickly and smoothly patients get care after diagnosis.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05946213RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation works as well as the usual longer course for people with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and inconvenience.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05965180Recruiting
Fine-needle scan during prostate biopsy
This study tests a special fine-needle “photoacoustic” scan used during a planned prostate biopsy. It aims to better assess prostate cancer tissue patterns, which may improve how doctors evaluate biopsies.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 40–80 - NCT05958316Recruiting
