This study looks at how children and teens’ heart and fitness recover after cancer treatment. If you live in Krefeld and are at least 6 weeks past treatment, the study may offer a structured follow-up fitness assessment to see what helps recovery.
KrefeldAges 7–23 - NCT04838899Recruiting
Radiation for limited, progressing prostate cancer on abiraterone
This study tests whether a very focused type of radiation (SABR) can control a small number of prostate cancer spots that are starting to grow while you’re already on abiraterone. It may help by treating only the areas that are progressing, while other areas remain controlled.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05608694Recruiting
MRI screening for men at high risk of prostate cancer
This trial is testing whether MRI scans can help screen for signs of prostate cancer in men who have not been diagnosed yet but are at higher risk. It may help find concerning changes earlier so doctors can follow up sooner.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04638725Recruiting
Genetics study to find why HER2 breast cancer treatment varies
This study looks at genetic factors to understand why some people’s HER2-positive breast cancer responds better—or has more side effects—after treatment. Your info and possible past treatment history may help researchers improve how HER2 treatment is chosen and managed.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT05036226RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
COAST therapy for advanced prostate or other solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests the COAST therapy approach in people with advanced solid tumor cancers or advanced prostate cancer that has continued to grow despite standard treatments. The study aims to see how well the treatment works and whether it is safe enough to continue studying.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04824014RecruitingPhase 2
PET imaging for ER+ advanced breast cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan called 4FMFES-PET to take detailed pictures of ER-positive breast cancer that has spread. It helps doctors see where the cancer is and how active it is, which may guide treatment decisions.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT03750981Recruiting
Physical activity program for adults after or during cancer care
This trial tests whether a supervised physical activity program (CrossFit-style workouts) is safe and helpful for adults with cancer. It may help improve strength and well-being, but your doctor must clear you to participate.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04696575RecruitingPhase 2
Lamivudine added to chemoimmunotherapy for extensive-stage lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding lamivudine to standard chemoimmunotherapy can improve outcomes for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this combination controls the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04680715RecruitingPhase 2
Tested radiation before and after breast surgery in older women
This Phase 2 trial looks at a specific radiation timing and technique around the time of breast-conserving surgery. It may help reduce the chance the cancer comes back in selected older patients with certain early-stage, hormone-positive, HER2-negative breast cancers.
Clermont-FerrandAges 65 years+ - NCT05019716RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding ZEN003694 to chemo for NUT cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding ZEN003694 to standard chemotherapy (cisplatin/etoposide or carboplatin/paclitaxel) is safe and can help control NUT carcinoma. It enrolls people ages 12–17 and adults, including some patients whose cancer has spread or can’t be safely removed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04254263RecruitingPhase 3
Pyrotinib after breast cancer therapy for HER2-positive early disease
This trial studies whether adding pyrotinib after standard treatment helps prevent breast cancer from coming back in people with HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer. You may be eligible if you finished chemotherapy plus trastuzumab and still had signs of cancer in the tissue removed during surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT03837782Enrolling by invitation
Surgery outcomes for early to mid-stage colon cancer
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with colorectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It mainly includes patients who can have the tumor completely removed and accurately staged using lymph node samples.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT04481932RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab with chemo for HER2-positive breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding trastuzumab (a targeted antibody) given with chemo and extra drugs can better treat certain HER2-positive, locally advanced or inflammatory breast cancers. It may help by improving cancer control in people who have not had prior anti-cancer treatment for their breast cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT03897374Recruiting
Hereditary cancer testing for older adults with family history
This trial looks at using genetic (DNA) cancer testing decisions that are based on “medical necessity” and what your doctor thinks is right for your care. It may help patients and families better understand inherited cancer risk and prevention options.
Prosper, TexasAges 65 years+ - NCT05508126Recruiting
MRI and special CT scans to study stomach cancer
