Immunotherapy guided by urine DNA for high risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy approach for people with a very high risk type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle layer. The treatment is guided by a special urine test that looks for tumor DNA, and it may help if surgery cannot remove all the cancer or you choose not to have your bladder removed.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07474519RecruitingPhase 4
Studying position and dwell time for BCG bladder cancer treatment
This trial tests whether changing your position while receiving BCG treatment (a liquid medicine placed directly into the bladder) can help it work better. You will wear a fitness tracker for a few days to monitor activity.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06684418Recruiting
AI to find hidden cancer spread in early lung cancer
This trial uses artificial intelligence to predict if early-stage lung cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to help doctors make better treatment decisions for patients with stage 1 lung cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05667857Recruiting
Tracking brain, mood, and quality of life after immunotherapy
This study follows people who have had advanced cancer and are now stable after immunotherapy, to see how thinking, mood, and daily life change over time. Some participants may also do an integrative brain-training program if they have memory or thinking problems.
Brussels, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT06785077Recruiting
Genetic Study in Ovarian Cancer During PARP Inhibitor Therapy
This study looks at the genetic changes in ovarian cancer cells before and during treatment with PARP inhibitors. It aims to understand how these changes may affect treatment response.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05909111Recruiting
Testing a radiation plan for cervical cancer using MRI guidance
This feasibility study tests whether an MRI-guided radiation approach can be used safely and practically for people with certain stages of cervical cancer. It’s meant to help doctors plan radiation more accurately, while checking whether the treatment process works well.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT06782555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of experimental drug combo for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs—evofosfamide, zalifrelimab, and balstilimab—in people with advanced prostate, pancreatic, or certain head and neck cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06601075Recruiting
FDG and FAPI PET Scans for Advanced Colorectal Cancer
This trial uses two types of PET/CT scans (FDG and FAPI) to better see and track colorectal cancer that has spread to the belly lining (peritoneum). It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment by improving how they detect and monitor the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06769828Recruiting
Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET scan for colorectal cancer recurrence with rising CEA
This trial tests a new type of PET scan called Ga-68-FAPI-46 to help find if your colorectal cancer has returned when your CEA levels are rising. It might offer a more accurate way to detect recurrence early.
Taipei, BeitouAges 20–100 - NCT06787911RecruitingPhase 2
Donafenib and immunotherapy before surgery for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—donafenib (a targeted therapy) and an immunotherapy (anti-PD-1 antibody)—given before surgery for locally advanced differentiated thyroid cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor to make surgery easier and more complete. If you have this type of thyroid cancer that is hard to remove completely with surgery alone, this study may be an option.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06787625Recruiting
Growing tumor models from colorectal cancer and liver metastases
This study takes samples from colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and grows them in the lab. The goal is to create models that can help researchers understand the cancer better and find new treatments.
