Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05774483Recruiting
Check nodes in early mouth cancer using a biopsy or planned neck surgery
This trial studies two ways to check whether early oral cavity cancer has spread to nearby neck lymph nodes. It compares sentinel node biopsy versus limited elective neck dissection to see which approach is more useful for people with node-negative tongue or inner-cheek cancers.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–80 - NCT05774678RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery radiation options for invasive breast cancer
This trial compares two schedules of radiation given before mastectomy to see which works better for invasive breast cancer, followed by immediate breast reconstruction. It also studies tiny “biomarker” signals in tissue to learn why one radiation approach may help more.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05776524RecruitingPhase 2
Radiofrequency heat treatment for pancreas cancer spread to other organs
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a device that delivers carefully timed “radiofrequency heat” through the body can slow or control metastatic (spread) pancreatic cancer. You may qualify if you have newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer and can meet safety and blood-test requirements.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05777824RecruitingPhase 2
Testing treatment after head and neck cancer response to chemo-immunotherapy
This Phase 2 study looks at what treatment is best after you first receive chemotherapy plus immunotherapy, then have surgery for head and neck squamous cell cancer. It tries to use how your tumor responds (shown in lab tissue after treatment) to guide the next steps, which may improve outcomes.
Beijin, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05779917RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cells for cancers that have specific target proteins
This Phase 1 trial tests a customized immune therapy (CAR-T cells) for advanced cancers that have the proteins mesothelin, GPC3, and/or GUCY2C. It may help your body better recognize and kill cancer cells, but early-phase trials mainly focus on safety and learning how well the treatment works.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05780814Recruiting
Treating insomnia to improve weight loss after breast cancer
This study looks at whether improving insomnia (trouble falling asleep or staying asleep) can help survivors of breast cancer lose weight more successfully through a structured behavioral weight loss program. It may help if sleep problems are making it harder to change eating and activity habits.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05781217RecruitingPhase 3
Short vs longer hormone therapy after salvage prostate radiation
This trial compares two lengths of hormone treatment (androgen deprivation therapy) given around “salvage” radiation after prostate surgery for rising PSA. It aims to see which schedule works best to control prostate cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05784688RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TU2218 with Keytruda for advanced solid tumors
This trial studies TU2218 taken with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) in adults with advanced solid cancers that have limited treatment options. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors and is safe enough to keep using.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05786716RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Trastuzumab plus pertuzumab for HER2-mutated cancers
This trial tests whether combining trastuzumab and pertuzumab can treat cancers that have HER2 amplification or an activating HER2 mutation. It looks at people ages 12 and older, and may include both children/teens and adults, using the study drug based on their HER2 test results.
BelfastAges 12 years+ - NCT05790213RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy plus targeted prostate treatment for intermediate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining hormone treatment (androgen deprivation therapy) with focal ablation (targeted destruction of prostate tissue) controls intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It may help some men avoid or reduce more aggressive treatment, while still aiming for cancer control.
