Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT05371808Recruiting
Early vs delayed treatment for high-risk CLL: cost study
This study compares early treatment versus delaying treatment in newly diagnosed people with high-risk CLL/SLL who feel well. It mainly looks at the overall “costs and value” of each approach and asks patients to complete short health and quality-of-life questionnaires.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07564232RecruitingPhase 1
LNK001 for Advanced Kidney Cancer After Prior Treatments
This Phase 1 trial tests a new cell therapy called LNK001 in patients with advanced clear-cell kidney cancer that has progressed despite prior immunotherapy and targeted drugs. The therapy is designed to recognize and attack cancer cells by targeting a protein called CAIX.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT04011982Recruiting
Study of tissue analysis after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial studies and analyzes tissue samples from people who had surgery for exocrine pancreatic (pancreatic duct-type) cancer. It may help researchers better understand the disease biology and improve future care.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT04018872RecruitingPhase 2
Itraconazole trial for esophageal cancer response
This Phase 2 trial tests whether itraconazole (an antifungal medicine) can help people with localized esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer achieve a better “pathologic complete response,” meaning no remaining cancer found after treatment. You may be considered if your cancer is in a localized/locoregional stage and you meet key safety checks.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04024761RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy for leukemia relapse after transplant
This Phase 1 study tests whether an infusion of special immune cells (NK cells) from a donor can help control leukemia or related blood cancers that come back or do not fully go away after a stem cell transplant. It also uses short chemotherapy to “make space” for the NK cells to work, and IL-2 to help them function.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT04024917Recruiting
Cardiac coherence training to reduce anxiety before abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether “cardiac coherence” breathing/relaxation practice can lower anxiety in people with peritoneal cancer who are scheduled for a major surgery. It may help by calming stress before and around the operation.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT04025164Recruiting
Shorter vs standard breast radiation after lumpectomy
This study compares a shorter course of radiation to a standard longer course after breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy). It’s meant to see which schedule works just as well while focusing on safety and cancer control.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–70 - NCT04028531Recruiting
