Rockville, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05586360RecruitingPhase 2
Testing how a statin may change immune markers in prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking simvastatin can change “immune regulation” markers in men with intermediate- to high-risk localized prostate cancer. It also looks at whether this could help lower the risk of cancer coming back after planned prostate surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05587777Recruiting
Tracking chronic conditions during standard breast cancer treatment
This study monitors health problems that can happen over time in people with breast cancer while they receive usual treatments like hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and/or radiation. It may help researchers understand which extra symptoms or complications show up and when, to improve care and follow-up.
StavangerAges 19–80 - NCT05588141RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zotiraciclib for recurrent brain tumors with IDH mutations
This early-phase study tests zotiraciclib in people with recurring diffuse gliomas (brain tumors) that have an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation. It may help slow the tumor or shrink it by targeting a specific change in tumor biology.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 15 years+ - NCT05588388RecruitingPhase 2
Testing bevacizumab with chemo and immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding bevacizumab to chemo plus immunotherapy (including atezolizumab) can improve outcomes in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) that has spread to the liver. It may help by blocking tumor blood vessel growth while boosting anti-cancer immune and treatment effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05588700Recruiting
Exercise program to reduce long-term cancer fatigue
This trial studies whether a structured physical activity program can reduce ongoing (long-term) fatigue in men with metastatic testicular cancer. It likely helps by improving fitness and energy during and after first-line chemotherapy.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05597852Recruiting
Rectal gel spacer to help repeat prostate radiation
This trial studies whether placing a soft gel spacer near the rectum can make “salvage” prostate radiation safer and more tolerable when prostate cancer comes back locally. It may help reduce side effects by creating extra space between the rectum and the radiation area.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05601037Recruiting
Surgery to reduce lymphedema risk after breast lymph node removal
This trial looks at a preventive surgical technique done during breast lymph node removal to lower the chance of developing lymphedema (swelling from blocked fluid) after treatment. If you are at risk, it may help reduce long-term swelling and discomfort.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–99 - NCT05603078Recruiting
Breast cancer surgery with a tumor-bed boost and standard radiation
This study looks at whether adding extra targeted radiation to the tumor area before breast-conserving surgery, then using modern breast surgery techniques and whole-breast radiation afterward, improves outcomes for early-stage breast cancer. You may be offered a treatment plan designed to better treat the area where the tumor was removed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 55 years - NCT05606133Recruiting
Test HPV DNA from blood to track cervical cancer risk
This study looks at a blood test that measures HPV DNA to help screen and monitor people with HPV-related cervical problems. If you have confirmed high-grade cervical changes or cervical cancer, the test may help doctors follow how your condition changes over time.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05606692RecruitingPhase 4
Propofol vs sevoflurane anesthesia in ovarian tumor surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia medicines—propofol and sevoflurane—during planned surgery for primary ovarian tumors. It looks at how these anesthetics may affect outcomes in people having elective brain surgery related to ovarian cancer treatment planning.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT05606523Recruiting
Test gut bacteria treatment for weight loss in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how changing the gut microbiome (gut bacteria) may help people with pancreatic cancer regain strength and slow or reverse cancer-related weight loss (cachexia). It also studies gut bacteria differences in people with pancreatic cancer who are losing weight versus those whose weight is stable, and in healthy volunteers.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT05606848Recruiting
Testing a special nutrition drink around surgery for gut cancer
This study tests whether a special medical nutrition (a drink/food meant for people who need medical nutrition) given around the time of surgery helps patients with gastrointestinal cancer recover better. It aims to see if this nutrition approach is safe and beneficial when cancer is being removed.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05607329Recruiting
Surgery plus chemo versus chemo alone for ovarian cancer relapse
This trial tests whether doing additional surgery to remove visible tumor (“secondary cytoreduction”) before chemotherapy helps compared with chemotherapy alone. It’s for ovarian (or related) cancer that came back after prior PARP inhibitor maintenance and platinum chemotherapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT05610735RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug combination for ovarian cancer after platinum stops working
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination treatment for recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer when platinum chemotherapy stops working. If you qualify, the study aims to control the cancer and see how well the treatment is tolerated.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT05613452RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon ion radiation for peripheral lung cancer you can’t operate on
This trial tests whether carbon ion radiation (high-energy targeted radiation) can control peripheral non-small cell lung cancer in people who are medically unable to have surgery. It may help shrink or stop tumor growth while limiting harm to nearby organs.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05613023RecruitingPhase 3
Short-course prostate and pelvic SBRT using 5 treatment sessions
This study compares two schedules of highly focused radiation (SBRT): 5 sessions to the prostate only, versus 5 sessions to the prostate and nearby pelvic lymph nodes. It aims to see which approach controls high-risk localized prostate cancer better while you also take hormone therapy.
CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05614375Recruiting
Endoscopic surgery for soft tissue cancer in the nose
This trial studies using a minimally invasive camera-assisted surgery to remove soft tissue sarcoma in the nose and nearby sinuses. It may help by aiming to fully remove the tumor safely while considering how well patients’ bodies can handle surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05616650RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for one prostate tumor spot
This Phase 2 study tests a focused radiation approach using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for people with one prostate tumor visible on imaging. It aims to treat a single tumor area while limiting treatment to the rest of the prostate.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05618821RecruitingPhase 2
Indocyanine green dye during stomach surgery for leftover cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special light-activated dye (indocyanine green) during laparoscopic stomach surgery can improve surgical outcomes for people with remnant (leftover) stomach cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help surgeons better find lymph nodes while operating.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05620628RecruitingPhase 2
Test savolitinib plus durvalumab for MET-amplified stomach cancer
This trial studies whether blocking MET (a cancer growth signal) with savolitinib, combined with durvalumab (an immune treatment), can shrink advanced gastric (stomach) cancer that has worsened after chemotherapy. It may help people whose tumors have MET amplification and measurable disease that can be tracked on scans.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05621564Recruiting
Pre-surgery treatment for women with breast cancer
This trial studies a treatment given before surgery for people with breast cancer. It may help shrink or control the cancer before an operation, depending on what the study drug or approach is.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05624099RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemoradiotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer
