GenovaAges 18–70 - NCT05692024RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Coffee and gut bacteria study after colon or rectal cancer
This early-phase study tests whether a coffee-related approach can change gut bacteria and blood “metabolites” after treatment for stage I–III colon or rectal cancer. The goal is to learn if these changes could help improve health after standard cancer treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05692674RecruitingPhase 2
Proton radiation after breast surgery with implant reconstruction
This trial studies a type of radiation made with proton beams given after mastectomy and implant reconstruction to lower breast cancer coming back. It’s for people who need additional (adjuvant) radiation and have not had prior radiation to the chest or breast.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05694338Recruiting
Study frailty during major surgery for gut cancer
This trial studies how “frailty” affects people with gastrointestinal (gut) cancer who are about to have major surgery, sometimes after chemotherapy or other treatment beforehand. It may help doctors better prepare and support patients through surgery.
East Corning, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05695638Recruiting
Genetic tumor testing to find treatments for advanced cancer
This study looks at your tumor’s genetic information to help match you to targeted treatments when standard options are no longer working. You may be offered options based on results, with the goal of helping people with incurable, worsening cancer.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05696626RecruitingPhase 3
Test a new pill plus abemaciclib versus standard therapy
This Phase 3 study compares lasofoxifene plus abemaciclib versus fulvestrant plus abemaciclib for ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has an ESR1 mutation. It looks for better tumor control in people whose cancer has progressed on hormone therapy (an aromatase inhibitor) and who meet specific safety and testing requirements.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05697926Recruiting
Personalized immune T-cell therapy study for head and neck cancer
This study focuses on testing a personalized immune therapy (made from your tumor-fighting T cells) for people with head and neck cancer. It may help patients whose cancer is new and untreated or whose cancer has come back or is not responding to standard options.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05699213Recruiting
MRI and blood tests for lung nodules found on screening
This study looks at whether MRI scans and blood-related biomarkers can help better understand lung nodules found during routine lung cancer screening. It may help doctors decide which nodules need closer follow-up versus less intensive monitoring.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT05700721RecruitingPhase 2
Niraparib and dostarlimab for cancer with growing brain spots
This trial studies whether the medicines niraparib and dostarlimab can slow advanced cancers that have active, growing brain metastases. It is meant for people whose brain tumors can be measured on MRI and who have had at least one previous treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05704062Recruiting
Breast MRI during chemotherapy to measure treatment response
This study uses breast MRI scans to see whether neoadjuvant (before-surgery) chemotherapy is working. If you qualify, you’ll have MRI scans to help doctors understand how your breast cancer responds to standard treatment.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT05704530Recruiting
