Recruiting studies
- NCT05710848RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for repeat bladder tumor surgery patients
This trial tests STM-416, given around the time you have surgery to remove recurring bladder tumors, to see if it can reduce the chance the cancer comes back. It is for people with high-risk early bladder cancer (non–muscle-invasive) who have already had standard treatment and now need another TURBT.
Mesa, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05711615RecruitingPhase 1
Low-dose doxorubicin plus peposertib for advanced sarcoma
This Phase 1 trial tests a low dose of a common chemotherapy (liposomal doxorubicin) together with an anti-cancer drug called peposertib. It’s for people with advanced sarcoma that can’t be cured, aiming to find a safe dosing plan and see how well the treatment might work.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05713903Recruiting
Compare keyhole versus open surgery for right colon cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches—keyhole surgery versus open surgery—for right colon cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for patients needing planned (elective) tumor removal.
LarissaAges 18–90 - NCT05714995Recruiting
Aromatherapy plus hypnosis for comfort during cancer care
This trial tests whether aromatherapy (smelling essential oils) combined with hypnosis can improve comfort and well-being for people receiving cancer treatment. It focuses on patients at the start of chemotherapy, along with supportive cancer or palliative care needs.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT05714774Recruiting
Ultrasound analysis methods during HIFU prostate cancer treatment
This study compares different ways to analyze ultrasound images in real time while treating localized prostate cancer with HIFU (a focused ultrasound treatment). It aims to improve how safely and accurately the treatment is monitored.
LyonAges 50 years+ - NCT05715502Recruiting
Targeted radiation for prostate cancer that came back
This study tests a focused (“salvage”) brachytherapy—radiation placed directly near the prostate—to treat prostate cancer that has returned after earlier radiation. It may help control the tumor while limiting radiation exposure to surrounding tissues, based on how well people fit the study’s safety and cancer details.
Poznan, Greater Poland VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT05715684Recruiting
Pre-surgery preparation program for people having bladder removal
This study tests a patient-centered coaching and preparation program before bladder surgery (cystectomy) to help you get ready for surgery and recovery. It may be especially helpful for people having urinary diversion using an ileal conduit or ileal neobladder.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT05716516RecruitingPhase 2
Estradiol pill for ER-positive advanced breast cancer
This trial studies whether an estradiol (a form of estrogen) treatment can help people with ER-positive advanced breast cancer. It is mainly for post-menopausal women whose cancer is not curable and has already been treated with endocrine (hormone) therapies.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05720546Recruiting
Survey about young adult infusion experience
This study asks young adults (ages 18–39) receiving cancer care in an infusion clinic to share their experience through a satisfaction survey. It’s meant to understand what helps patients during infusion visits so care can be improved.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–39 - NCT05722275Recruiting
Predicting peritoneal spread in advanced stomach cancer
This trial uses CT scan images and a look inside the abdomen (laparoscopy) to predict whether advanced stomach cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (the peritoneum). It may help your care team better identify who already has peritoneal spread and who might not.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05723718Recruiting
Testing body-water measurements in people with stomach cancer
This trial uses a painless machine to measure your body composition (mainly fluid and muscle) using bioelectrical impedance. It’s looking at people with stage II–III stomach cancer who are receiving standard “multi-treatment” care, to see whether these measurements are useful during treatment.
LublinAges 18–100 - NCT05723471Recruiting
Physical activity program for newly diagnosed cancer patients
This trial studies whether a structured exercise (physical activity) program started soon after a new cancer diagnosis is safe and helpful. You may benefit if you can safely do activity and meet key health measures.
Nancy, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05723250Recruiting
Rural early cancer care coaching and education program
This study tests an educational “care coordination” program to help people living in rural Vermont manage care during the early stages of breast, lung, or colon cancer treatment. It may help you feel more supported and organized while starting or preparing for chemotherapy.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT05724992Recruiting
Study genetic testing in families at pancreatic cancer risk
This program invites people whose families are followed in a pancreatic cancer registry to do a saliva swab genetic test. It helps researchers learn how to identify genetic risk in families and may guide future care.
VeronaAges 18–80 - NCT05725200RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment plan for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests an individualized treatment chosen from your tumor’s lab testing (genetic and RNA profile plus a drug-sensitivity test from your tumor cells). It may help by matching you to targeted anti-cancer drugs that are most likely to work for your specific cancer.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05726370RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before surgery for recurrent head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus chemotherapy before curative surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable, recurrent head and neck squamous cell cancer. It also studies how these treatments affect the tumor and immune response using required tissue and blood samples.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05728268RecruitingPhase 2
Test dose-dense chemo before surgery for high-growth hormone-positive breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a faster, more frequent chemotherapy schedule given before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) for certain breast cancers that grow quickly. It may help shrink the tumor before the operation and improve treatment response in people who fit the tumor and health criteria.
Shantou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05731258Recruiting
Watch how liposomal doxorubicin is used after breast cancer
This is an observational study that follows people receiving add-on (adjuvant) chemotherapy after primary breast cancer. It aims to understand treatment patterns and outcomes for patients healthy enough to receive liposomal doxorubicin and who have no major complications.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05732389RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for early rectal cancer with dMMR or MSI
This trial studies whether immunotherapy (nivolumab plus ipilimumab) can help people with early-stage rectal cancer that has dMMR or MSI changes. It’s meant for patients who have not yet had chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy for colorectal cancer.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05733416Recruiting
FDG PET/CT scan after unexplained stroke to find hidden cancer
This study checks whether doing an intensive scan using FDG PET/CT shortly after a “cryptogenic” (unexplained) ischemic stroke can uncover an underlying cause, such as cancer. If a hidden source is found earlier, it may help guide the next treatment steps.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05734963Recruiting
Cancer organoid testing using patient samples
This study collects samples from your cancer (like during surgery or a biopsy) to grow tiny lab “organoids” for testing. It may help researchers learn which treatments could work better for different cancers.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05736029Recruiting
Using blood and tumor data to predict cancer treatment response
This study looks at “multiomics” information (many types of biological data, like blood and lab markers) to predict how well cancer treatments may work for you. It may help doctors choose better treatments in the future based on what your body is doing during therapy.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05736367Recruiting
Study tumor metabolism in certain types of breast cancer surgery
This study looks at how breast cancer cells use energy and nutrients in hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative tumors during planned surgery. It may help researchers understand the cancer better by comparing tumor tissue with nearby normal tissue.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05738187Recruiting
Cryotherapy for repeat head and neck cancer after prior radiation
This pilot study tests whether cooling treatment on the tumor area (cryotherapy) can control a repeat head/neck cancer that can’t be removed and has already been treated with radiation. It also checks safety, especially in areas that have received radiation before.
