This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy before surgery helps people with locally advanced breast cancer that hasn't been removed with chemotherapy. It may offer a new option for those who cannot have surgery right away.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05482516RecruitingPhase 3
Testing blood test–guided treatment for GI cancers in remission
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving treatment based on a positive blood test for “minimal cancer signals” (ctDNA) can help people with certain GI cancers stay cancer-free longer. It focuses on people who have finished curative-intent therapy and currently have no visible disease on scans, but their blood test is still positive.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05483400RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab and tiragolumab study for several solid tumors
This Phase 2 trial tests the cancer medicines atezolizumab and tiragolumab in people with different solid tumors. It aims to see how well these drugs work and what side effects they cause in specific patient groups.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT05484973Recruiting
Portable scalp cooling to help prevent chemotherapy hair loss
This study tests whether a portable cooling cap system can reduce hair loss for women with breast cancer who are planning certain chemotherapy treatments. It may help you keep more of your hair while you receive chemotherapy.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT05486572Recruiting
Ultrasound or MRI to help prevent liver cancer deaths
This study compares ultrasound scans versus MRI scans to see which one better helps prevent deaths from liver cancer in people with cirrhosis. You may be assigned to one of the two imaging tests and follow-up visits to track whether liver cancer develops or is caught early.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT05487391RecruitingPhase 3
QL1706 plus chemo after lung cancer surgery
This trial studies whether a study drug called QL1706 added to standard platinum chemotherapy can lower the chance of lung cancer coming back after surgery. It targets people with stage II to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer who have had their tumor fully removed.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05488522RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus immunotherapy for liver cancer
This early-phase trial tests a treatment plan that combines focused radiation with two medicines—an immunotherapy drug and an anti-angiogenesis drug—to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). It may help shrink tumors or control disease when surgery or ablation can’t be used, and when systemic (whole-body) treatment is needed.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–99 - NCT05488548RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug that blocks BET and CBP/p300 in advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests an investigational medicine that targets BET and CBP/p300 to try to slow or control advanced, hard-to-treat cancers. You may be eligible if you have certain prostate cancer or NUT midline carcinoma, or specific blood cancers like CMML or myelofibrosis (MF), and your body functions are strong enough for chemotherapy-style treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05490433Recruiting
Robot-assisted versus open nipple-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove the breast using a nipple-sparing mastectomy and do immediate breast reconstruction—either robot-assisted or open surgery. It aims to see how well each method works and how patients do afterward.
ChangwonAges 19–70 - NCT05491434Recruiting
Study of muscle loss in colon cancer patients
This trial looks at muscle loss (called sarcopenia) in people with colon cancer to test an intervention that may help strength or recovery. If you’re age 70 or older and meet the cancer and health requirements, you may be able to take part.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 70 years+ - NCT05492123RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus ipilimumab with chemoradiation for cervical cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) to standard chemoradiation can improve treatment for cervical cancer. It may help by training the immune system to better target cancer cells while radiation and chemotherapy work in the body.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18–95 - NCT05494502Recruiting
Nerve block to reduce long-term pain after breast surgery
This trial tests whether a specific pain-numbing nerve block given during mastectomy can reduce chronic (long-lasting) pain after breast cancer surgery. It may help some people use less pain medicine later by lowering nerve-related pain after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT05495152RecruitingPhase 3
Sintilimab after esophageal surgery to help prevent cancer return
This trial looks at adding sintilimab (an immunotherapy) after surgery for certain stages of esophageal squamous cell cancer. The goal is to lower the chance the cancer comes back after standard treatment.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT05495048Recruiting
Transvaginal surgery vs standard laparoscopy for right colon removal
This study compares two surgical approaches for removing the right side of the colon in certain women with colon cancer or a high-risk pre-cancer. It aims to see whether the less invasive transvaginal approach can be done safely and work as well as standard laparoscopic surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05495295RecruitingPhase 1
First test of PhOx430 for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests a new cancer drug, PhOx430, for people with advanced (metastatic) solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and to see whether the drug can shrink or control cancer.
MontpellierAges 18–80 - NCT05496036RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab before surgery for resectable Merkel cell cancer
This trial tests pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) given before surgery to shrink Merkel cell carcinoma and improve outcomes. Participants also have extra tumor biopsies to study biomarkers, which may help explain who benefits most.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05496829Recruiting
