Atezolizumab plus chemo before surgery for lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding atezolizumab (an immune medicine) to standard platinum-based chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for operable stage II–IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and increase the chance the cancer can be removed with better results.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05296304RecruitingPhase 1
Bexarotene plus radiation for mycosis fungoides skin lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests whether the medicine bexarotene combined with radiotherapy can shrink or control mycosis fungoides, a skin lymphoma. It also looks at how safe the combination is and how the body handles the treatment.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05296941Recruiting
Oral cancer screening for early mouth changes
This trial tests an oral (mouth) screening approach to catch early, possibly cancer-pre-cursor changes. It may help you find warning spots sooner if you have specific mouth lesions.
Falun, Dalarna CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05299710Recruiting
Store ovarian tissue for future fertility in children
This study looks at freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue before certain cancer treatments or surgeries that may affect fertility. It may help preserve the ability to have children later, especially when future fertility is at risk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 11 years - NCT05300464Recruiting
Test MammoWave for finding breast lesions on imaging
This study checks how well MammoWave can help detect breast lesions (areas that may be abnormal) using imaging. It may help doctors confirm findings by combining it with other scans when needed, and sometimes with biopsy results.
Genova, GenovaAges 18 years+ - NCT05304234RecruitingPhase 2
Testing ways to detect liver cancer risk in Native patients
This Phase 2 study focuses on people at higher risk for liver cancer due to liver scarring or chronic hepatitis B. It may help improve screening and outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native people who could benefit from closer monitoring.
Tahlequah, OklahomaAges 18–75 - NCT05306912Recruiting
Test gene analysis on liquid from a lung biopsy
This study looks at special lab tests (molecular analysis) done on liquid taken during a bronchoscopy to better understand lung nodules. It may help doctors learn more about what these nodules are, using samples from the procedure.
Toulouse, OccitanieAges 18 years+ - NCT05307367Recruiting
Study exercise and body muscle changes in advanced lung cancer
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.
Copenhagen, DKAges 18–100 - NCT05309746Recruiting
Save ovarian tissue before cancer treatment
This trial studies freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue before treatment that may permanently affect fertility and hormone production. You might consider it if you are planning surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation soon and want to preserve future options.
