Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–85 - NCT04530890Recruiting
Testing blood tumor DNA in digestive and breast cancers
This study looks at a blood test for “circulating tumor DNA” (tiny pieces of cancer-related DNA in the blood). It may help doctors learn more about digestive, gynecologic, or breast cancers and how patients respond when treatment like chemotherapy or immunotherapy is needed.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT04543799Recruiting
Sleep quality study in prostate and early breast cancer patients
This trial studies how sleep quality changes while people with prostate cancer or early breast cancer receive standard treatments. It may help doctors understand which treatment factors affect sleep and identify who might benefit from support for sleep problems.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04608357Recruiting
Testing digital patient avatars to guide treatment for metastatic breast cancer
This study tests whether a computer “avatar” made from your health information can help choose the best systemic therapy (medications that treat cancer throughout the body) for metastatic breast cancer. You may be asked to provide a tissue sample (biopsy) so the team can build and guide the treatment plan.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04625556Recruiting
Urology cancer registry study using body microbiome data
This study builds a patient registry for prostate, kidney, bladder, and ureter cancers by analyzing your body’s microbiome (the microbes living in/ on the body). It may help doctors personalize care in the future, and your participation mainly involves allowing your medical and related information to be used for research.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT04660435Recruiting
Study how breast cancers resist CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment
This study looks at why some ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancers don’t respond well to CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with hormone therapy. It may help researchers understand resistance and improve future treatment choices for people like you.
Prato, TuscanyAges Any age - NCT04688801Recruiting
Chemo plus immunotherapy after surgery for esophageal cancer
This study looks at adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy after surgery for certain esophageal or EG-junction cancers. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, for people whose cancer can be fully removed.
Jinan, ShandongAges 25–80 - NCT04729114RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and dose test of PRL-02 shot for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how safe PRL-02 depot (an injection) is and finds the best dose for men with advanced prostate cancer. It may help determine a new treatment option for cancers that have spread or are getting worse despite standard care.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04734730RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib plus hormone therapy for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests whether talazoparib added to standard hormone therapy (ADT), along with abiraterone, can better control metastatic prostate cancer that hasn’t progressed despite starting hormone treatment. It may help people live longer and delay cancer worsening.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04763317Recruiting
Precision medicine for prostate cancer care decisions
This study tries to personalize prostate cancer care by matching treatment decisions to a person’s specific risk profile. You might be able to join if you have certain types of prostate cancer or a strong family history and meet health-function requirements.
Sutton, EnglandAges 30–70 - NCT04762199RecruitingPhase 1
MRX-2843 with osimertinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether combining MRX-2843 with osimertinib can help control advanced lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It is designed to find the safest dose and check early signs of tumor response.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04787289RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two bevacizumab doses with chemotherapy for ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares two standard doses of bevacizumab (a medicine that targets blood supply to tumors) added to chemotherapy in people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It’s for ovarian cancers that have returned or grown again soon after prior platinum chemotherapy, with the goal of improving control of the disease.
Abbotsford British Columbia, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04789486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MR-guided radiation plus nanoparticles for central lung or pancreatic tumors
This early-phase study tests a new way to deliver focused radiation using MRI guidance and tiny particles, aiming to treat certain central lung tumors or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It’s designed to see how safe it is and how well it can control these tumors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04790253Recruiting
Check brain radiation timing or frequent MRI scans for SCLC
This study compares two ways to follow and treat small-cell lung cancer in the brain: preventive brain radiation versus close monitoring with MRI scans and treatment only if needed. It may help people avoid unnecessary brain treatment or choose the safer timing strategy.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT04821843RecruitingPhase 3
Study before-surgery treatments for esophageal cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares different “treatments before surgery” for people with esophageal (or esophagus-to-stomach) cancer. It aims to see which approach works better to control the cancer and improve outcomes after surgery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04821778RecruitingPhase 3
