This trial tests a PET scan (a type of imaging) that targets cells in the body that help support cancers. It may help doctors better see where cancer-associated cells are located, which could guide future cancer care.
Suita, OsakaAges Any age - NCT05442515RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell treatment for hard-to-treat B-cell cancers in youth
This trial tests a personalized immune-cell therapy (CAR T cells) made to attack B-cell cancers that have come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is in children and young adults.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–39 - NCT05443841Recruiting
Pleural lavage test to guide surgery in resectable esophageal cancer
This trial studies whether washing fluid from around the lungs (pleural lavage) can show cancer cells and help predict outcomes for people with operable esophageal cancer. It may add useful information before surgery to support better treatment decisions.
Hefei, AnhuiAges Any age - NCT05444478Recruiting
Microwave ablation plus lenvatinib for recurrent liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining heat treatment to kill liver tumors (microwave ablation) with the medicine lenvatinib can better control recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help shrink tumors or slow growth for people whose cancer has come back but who have limited tumor burden.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT05447273Recruiting
MRI to plan less invasive surgery for penile cancer
This trial studies how functional MRI scans (a special MRI that shows how tissues work) can help doctors plan surgery for newly diagnosed penile squamous cell cancer. It may help more people get organ-sparing surgery, which aims to remove the cancer while preserving as much function as possible.
OsloAges Any age - NCT05447923Recruiting
Colorectal screening study for Black and underserved Phoenix adults
This study aims to help improve colorectal cancer screening (checking the colon) in Black and underserved communities in Phoenix. It may help you find out which screening tests fit you and encourage regular screening.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 45 years+ - NCT05447988Recruiting
Breast reconstruction study using a new tissue expander
This trial studies a new device used during breast reconstruction after mastectomy, usually to stretch skin before placing a breast implant. It may help people who’ve had breast cancer and completed radiation at least a year ago by improving the reconstruction process and tracking outcomes.
RancaguaAges 18 years+ - NCT05449691Recruiting
Compare natural tissue samples with synthetic mesh in breast reconstruction
This study looks at how “biological” materials compare with synthetic mesh during immediate, one-stage breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help doctors choose the best support material to improve reconstruction outcomes for women undergoing this surgery.
DerbyAges 18 years+ - NCT05450016Recruiting
Using photos and a computer to assess breast appearance after treatment
This study uses a computer (deep neural network) to judge how the breast looks after breast-conserving surgery or full breast reconstruction and radiation therapy. It may help doctors measure cosmetic results more consistently using photographs.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 19–80 - NCT05450835Recruiting
Surgery technique comparison for stomach cancer near the esophagus
This study compares two ways surgeons reconnect the digestive tract after removing the whole stomach for certain stomach cancers near the esophagus. It aims to see which technique is safer and leads to better recovery and outcomes.
Quanzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05451784RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PD-1 TIL therapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests an immune-cell treatment made from your tumor tissue. It aims to help people with advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer by collecting PD-1–positive immune cells and giving them back after treatment.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05463757Recruiting
Oral drugs for advanced or multiple basal cell skin cancer
This study registers people in the Netherlands who have certain types of basal cell skin cancer and take an oral hedgehog-blocking medicine. It may help doctors understand how well these tablets work and how patients do in real life.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges Any age - NCT05463913RecruitingPhase 4
Scan and spot lung nodules with special PET/CT
This trial tests a newer PET/CT scan method to detect uncertain (indeterminate) lung nodules more accurately before biopsy or surgery. If you have a small lung nodule that doctors are still unsure about, this could help improve how nodules are found and assessed.
GroningenAges 18–100 - NCT05464719RecruitingPhase 2
Loncastuximab for lymphoma patients in partial remission after CAR T
This trial studies loncastuximab tesirine (a targeted cancer medicine) given after CAR T-cell therapy when your lymphoma has improved to a partial remission. It aims to reduce the chance of the lymphoma returning after CAR T.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05465161Recruiting
Marker used during solid organ surgery and transplant
This study uses a small “fiducial marker” (a reference point) during surgery on solid organs or during solid-organ transplant. It’s meant to help guide or track surgical planning, and could make certain procedures more precise.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05466565Recruiting
Peginterferon antiviral treatment after liver cancer surgery
This trial studies an antiviral medicine given after surgery for liver cancer to help prevent the cancer from coming back. It focuses on people who are hepatitis B–positive (HBsAg positive) and have complete remission on follow-up checks.
