Quality of life study for people with MGUS or smoldering myeloma
This study looks at how patients feel day to day (quality of life) while they are monitored or treated for MGUS or smoldering multiple myeloma. It is designed for people who do NOT yet have “myeloma defining events” or amyloidosis, because the goal is to understand well-being in earlier disease stages.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05139706Recruiting
Study immune side effects after cancer immunotherapy
This study looks at how immune-related side effects happen in people treated with certain cancer immunotherapies. It also includes some healthy volunteers and people who already have similar autoimmune conditions, to better understand and compare these reactions.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–100 - NCT05141253RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Trial of RD133 for mesothelin-positive tumors after prior treatment
This early-stage trial tests whether RD133 can be safe and effective for people whose solid tumors have a high “mesothelin” marker and that have not responded to at least two standard treatments. If you qualify, you’ll be checked closely for side effects and whether the tumor responds.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05143619Recruiting
Teaching liver cancer diagnosis to radiologists worldwide
This study looks at whether a “teaching the teachers” approach improves how radiologists understand and apply liver cancer (HCC) diagnosis guidelines. It may help by standardizing how liver imaging results are interpreted across different countries and practice settings.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05142787Recruiting
Magnetic breast marker to guide removal of a lump
This study tests a magnetic marker system (placed in the breast or armpit area) to help surgeons find and remove a suspicious lump or lymph node. If you’re having breast/axillary lesion or node removal, this may help guide the procedure.
BottropAges 18 years+ - NCT05146778Recruiting
Opioid-free anesthesia to reduce long-term post-mastectomy pain
This study tests whether a pain-control approach without opioids (strong pain medicines) can lower persistent pain after mastectomy. It may help people avoid long-term pain and opioid side effects.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT05151952Recruiting
Registry for people treated at a proton therapy center
This trial is a medical registry that collects information from people who receive proton therapy at a specific center. It helps researchers understand how proton treatment affects patients over time.
Pamplona, NavarreAges Any age - NCT05153694Recruiting
Study of infections after bladder removal
This observational study follows people after surgery to remove the bladder to learn how often infections happen and what they look like. It may help doctors better prevent and manage complications after this operation.
Munich, Outside U.S./CanadaAges Any age - NCT05155033RecruitingPhase 2
A trial of PD-1 plus aldesleukin for melanoma or kidney cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining anti–PD-1 treatment with aldesleukin can shrink or control metastatic melanoma or metastatic kidney (renal cell) cancer. It is mainly for people who have either not had anti–PD-1 before, or whose cancer did not respond to prior anti–PD-1 treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05167487Recruiting
Study of treatment effects after chemotherapy and surgery for lung cancer
This trial looks at how lung tumors respond after chemotherapy given before surgery in people with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It may help doctors understand which past treatments lead to better results, since it uses medical records from approved clinical cases.
A Coruña, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT05167994RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation plus an anti-cancer drug for soft tissue sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving radiation before surgery, along with anlotinib and penpulimab, can improve treatment for localized soft tissue sarcoma. It may help shrink or control the tumor before conservative surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05168839RecruitingPhase 3
Using dye scans during surgery to help prevent leakage
This trial tests whether using a special dye and camera during colorectal cancer surgery can help lower the risk of a surgical “leak” where the bowel is joined. If you’re having a planned left-sided colectomy or high rectal resection, the scan may help surgeons see blood flow more clearly.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05168930RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib plus venetoclax for relapsed CLL or SLL
This Phase 2 study tests how well zanubrutinib (a targeted pill) combined with venetoclax (another targeted pill) works for adults with CLL/SLL that came back or progressed after prior treatment. It may help by stopping cancer cells through two different pathways, aiming to shrink disease and improve blood counts.
Scarborough, MaineAges 18 years+ - NCT05169177Recruiting
Tracking liver tumor medicine on CT during radiation
This study checks whether a special “contrast” medicine used in liver cancer can be clearly seen on CT images while you receive radiation. The goal is to better track where the medicine is during treatment, which may improve how radiation is guided.
Waratah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05170347Recruiting
Study of graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplant
This study follows people after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant to understand a complication called graft-versus-host disease. If you can attend follow-up visits, your experience and samples may be compared with a family control to look for differences.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05171478Recruiting
Test imaging on small lung biopsy samples during bronchoscopy
This study uses a special eye-like scanning camera (full-field optical coherence tomography) to look at tiny lung tissue samples taken during routine bronchoscopy. It may help doctors learn more from small biopsies used to diagnose or stage lung problems.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05172310RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan study using a new tracer for solid tumors
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan using a new tracer (68Ga-FAPI) to help show tumors in the pancreas, bile ducts, stomach, or certain ovarian cancers. It may help doctors better see where cancer is in preparation for surgery or biopsy.
StockholmAges 19 years+ - NCT05172739RecruitingPhase 4
Opioid-free anesthesia during lung surgery for early lung cancer
This study tests whether an opioid-free pain/anesthesia plan during elective lung surgery can reduce surgical “stress” on the body and affect the immune system. You may be eligible if you have early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for a specific type of surgery (VATS lobectomy).
Heraklion, CreteAges 18–80 - NCT05180097RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with stem cell transplant for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pembrolizumab plus brentuximab works better than standard chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant for people whose classic Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or did not respond. It may help by improving cancer control before and around stem cell transplant and by comparing outcomes between the two treatment approaches.
Concord, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05176665RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EMB-01 for advanced stomach, bile, liver, and colon cancers
This early-phase trial studies EMB-01 in people with advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal cancers to see how well it works and how safe it is. To join, your tumor’s DNA or protein pattern (especially EGFR or cMET) must match specific lab results, and you must have tried standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05180864Recruiting
Omentum saving surgery versus full removal in stomach cancer
This study compares two ways of doing surgery for gastric (stomach) cancer: saving the omentum versus removing it completely. It may help doctors learn which approach is safer and works better for cancer control and recovery.
MainzAges 18 years+ - NCT05182944RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative immunotherapy plus chemotherapy for resectable throat cancer
This trial studies whether adding camrelizumab (an immune system drug) to chemotherapy before and around surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
