Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06525766RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive capecitabine therapy for metastatic ER+ HER2− breast cancer
This trial tests whether adjusting the dose of the oral chemotherapy capecitabine over time can control metastatic breast cancer that is estrogen-receptor positive (ER+) and HER2−. It is designed for patients who are starting capecitabine or have just started it, and the study will monitor blood changes and tumor response closely.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06787612RecruitingPhase 2
New combination for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This study tests a new combination treatment (ubamatamab plus another drug) for people with ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemotherapy. It could be an option if your cancer has kept growing despite prior treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05327608RecruitingPhase 2
Time-restricted eating during breast cancer chemotherapy
This study is testing whether time-restricted eating (confining all meals to a specific window each day) can improve the response to chemotherapy in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Participants will follow this eating pattern for 16 weeks while receiving their standard chemotherapy, and the researchers will monitor how the tumor shrinks.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07602907RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose paclitaxel with immunotherapy for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose oral paclitaxel (a chemotherapy pill taken regularly) plus immunotherapy to treat advanced breast cancer that doesn't have high levels of HER2 protein. The goal is to slow or shrink tumors while managing side effects better than traditional high-dose chemotherapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07545811RecruitingPhase 1
JANX014 for Advanced Prostate Cancer
This study tests a new immunotherapy drug called JANX014 in men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone treatments. The trial aims to find the right dose and see if this drug can help slow or stop cancer growth.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06424327Recruiting
Lung cancer surgery registry
This study collects information from people having surgery to remove a small part of the lung (segmentectomy) for early-stage lung cancer. It helps doctors learn more about this surgery and its outcomes.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04573231RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan using PSMA for AR-positive metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at using a special PET/CT scan tracer called PSMA to find signals in metastatic breast cancer that has high androgen receptor (AR) activity. It may help researchers better measure and target this type of cancer.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06458764Recruiting
Checking sexual health in younger breast cancer survivors on hormone therapy
This study is checking how hormone therapy affects sexual health in younger women who had early-stage breast cancer. You'll fill out questionnaires about your sexual function and well-being.
Torino, TOAges 18–55 - NCT03723928Recruiting
Blood test–guided monitoring for metastatic breast cancer treatment
This study checks whether specific blood “tumor marker” levels can help monitor how hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer responds to first-line therapy. It uses regular blood tests (and sometimes scans) to see if this marker-based monitoring is useful and reliable.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06627270RecruitingPhase 2
Antibiotics before surgery for oral cancer
This trial tests if taking antibiotics and using a mouth rinse before surgery can help treat oral cancer by targeting bacteria inside the tumor. It is for people with a new diagnosis of oral cancer who are scheduled for surgery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06999798RecruitingPhase 1
A better ultrasound marker for lymph nodes in breast cancer
This trial tests a new ultrasound marker to help surgeons find and remove cancer-positive lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery. The marker makes the node easier to see on ultrasound so it can be taken out accurately.
