Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05779631Recruiting
MRI test to better stage suspected bladder cancer
This study uses a special MRI scan (mpMRI) to figure out how far suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer has spread, using a new local staging approach. If the results are accurate, it may help doctors plan the most appropriate curative treatment sooner.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT05800574RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted neck radiation for p16-positive favorable throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a more precisely targeted radiation plan to the neck can work for people with p16-positive oropharynx cancer that is considered “favorable risk.” Doctors use special imaging to map where lymph nodes are likely involved, aiming to treat the right areas while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05792150Recruiting
Registry for young women with certain early breast cancer treatments
This registry collects information from pre- or perimenopausal women with early breast cancer who are treated with standard care, plus tumor testing like MammaPrint®. It may help doctors better understand which treatments work best for different risk groups.
Baden-Baden, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–60 - NCT05800665RecruitingPhase 1
Study tests a new prostate cancer drug after prior hormone therapy
This Phase 1 study tests the safety, how the drug moves through the body, and whether it shows anti-cancer activity in men with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. It is designed for people whose cancer has already been treated with certain hormone (androgen receptor) therapies.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05789082RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Divarasib for untreated lung cancer with KRAS G12C
This trial studies divarasib to see if it is safe and can shrink or control advanced lung cancer. Participants must have a KRAS G12C mutation and have not had prior treatment for their advanced disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05777603RecruitingPhase 1
Aerosol antibiotics plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether inhaled (aerosol) antibiotics combined with pembrolizumab can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite standard first treatment. It aims to improve cancer control by testing this new combination in Phase 1 safety and early effectiveness.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05774951RecruitingPhase 3
Camizestrant for hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer
This trial tests camizestrant, a medicine that blocks estrogen signaling, to help prevent hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer from coming back. You may be eligible if your cancer has higher- or intermediate-risk features and you already completed at least 2 years of hormone therapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–130 - NCT05752552RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of a MET-targeting pill for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests DO-2 to see how safe it is and how the body absorbs it (pharmacokinetics) in people with advanced or metastatic lung cancer. It is for tumors that have a specific MET exon 14 “skipping” mutation and for whom standard treatments are no longer an option.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05769010RecruitingPhase 2
HER2-positive or low breast cancer brain metastasis drug study
This Phase 2 study tests SHR-A1811 in people with HER2-positive (or HER2-low) advanced breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to shrink brain tumors and control the cancer in the brain, especially when there was no need for urgent local treatment like radiation or surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05746325Recruiting
Tumor-pulse device for spinal cancer fluid spread
This trial tests whether Tumor Treating Fields (a non-surgical device that delivers treatment signals to cancer cells through the scalp/skin) can help people whose breast or lung cancer has spread into the fluid around the spine and brain. It focuses on people who have cancer cells found in spinal fluid and can safely use the device most of the day.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05766891RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Hypnosis to reduce pain medication during breast cancer surgery
This trial tests whether talking with a nurse and using hypnosis before surgery can reduce the need for pain medicine during and after surgery. It aims to help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects from opioids.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05774561Recruiting
Using blood tests to monitor HPV-related cancer treatment
This study checks whether “liquid biopsies” (blood tests that look for cancer-related signals) can help monitor how HPV-related cancers respond to treatment. It may help doctors spot changes earlier during care.
OlomoucAges 18–99 - NCT05756569RecruitingPhase 2
Enfortumab plus pembrolizumab for advanced bladder cancer variants
This trial studies enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) for people with advanced bladder cancer that has a “variant” or non-urothelial subtype. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes when standard options have not worked or are no longer enough.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05762731Recruiting
Lung cancer screening for people with family history
This trial offers screening tests to look for lung cancer early in people whose parent, child, or sibling has had lung cancer. It may help find cancer sooner, when treatment is more effective.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 50–75 - NCT04074720Recruiting
Collecting breast cancer tissue and blood samples
