Recruiting studies
- NCT05876676Recruiting
Test a cancer blood marker in people being checked for cancer
This study checks a “biomarker” (a measurable sign in your body, often from blood) in people who are being investigated for possible cancer in a specific body area. It may help researchers understand whether the marker can support or rule out cancer when no cancer has been confirmed yet.
AbergavennyAges 18 years+ - NCT05879146RecruitingPhase 2
Nirogacestat for desmoid tumors with tumor growth monitoring
This Phase 2 study tests nirogacestat (a targeted medicine) in people with desmoid tumors that are growing. It also studies how tumors respond—or don’t respond—by using repeated tumor scans and sometimes repeated tumor biopsies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05879653RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab, drug EV, and radiation for bladder cancer
This Phase 2 study tests how well pembrolizumab and an antibody-drug medicine (EV) given with bladder radiation work for non-metastatic bladder cancer that is mostly urothelial. It may help some people control the cancer without it spreading to other organs.
Kobe, HyōgoAges 18 years+ - NCT05879783Recruiting
Optical biopsy during surgery for colorectal belly tumors
This trial looks at using a special light-based method (optical biopsy) to examine small growths on the lining of the abdomen during colorectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors better assess these peritoneal nodules while you are already having an operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT05880043RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IV NK cell treatment for advanced cancers that returned
This Phase 1/2 study tests an intravenous (IV) immune-cell therapy made from donors (allogeneic NK cells) to treat advanced solid tumors, relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or multiple myeloma. It may help by targeting cancer cells more directly, but early-phase trials mainly focus on safety and finding the right dosing.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05880667RecruitingPhase 1
Adaptive focused radiation for belly and pelvic cancer spread
This Phase 1 study tests an “adaptive” form of focused radiation (SBRT) for cancers that have spread in the abdomen or pelvis. It aims to treat metastatic tumor spots safely while adjusting the plan as needed during treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05884723Recruiting
Ketogenic diet before liver surgery for fatty liver
This trial tests whether a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet before liver surgery can reduce fat in the liver. It is aimed at people with colorectal liver metastases who already have fatty liver seen on scans or biopsy.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05885048Recruiting
Testing how cancer treatments affect future fertility
This study looks at how treatments that can harm ovaries or testicles (like certain chemotherapy, radiation, and immune therapies) may affect fertility. It may help you and others by measuring hormone levels (and in some cases sperm) before and during/after treatment.
BernAges 14–50 - NCT05889585Recruiting
Life after germ cell cancer treatment side effects study
This study looks at long-term health problems and quality of life in people who survived germ cell tumors after strong chemotherapy with a stem cell transplant or other standard treatments. It may help doctors understand which late side effects are most common and how to better support survivors.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT05890352RecruitingPhase 2
Add new medicines to standard treatment for returning lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding tafasitamab, lenalidomide, tazemetostat, and zanubrutinib (along with standard lymphoma treatment) can improve outcomes in people whose large B-cell lymphoma has returned or not responded. It may help control disease more effectively and improve response duration for eligible patients.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05892289Recruiting
Robotic stomach surgery study for early cancer near the top
This study checks whether a specific robotic operation (proximal gastrectomy using a double-flap technique) is safe and feasible for early stomach cancer located near the top of the stomach. It may help patients by testing a surgical approach designed to remove the cancer while managing reconstruction and recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 20–80 - NCT05893888RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing three investigational drugs for mouth and lung cancers
This trial tests whether PRV111, PRV211, and PRV131 are safe and work better than expected for certain mouth (lip/oral cavity) cancers and lung cancers. It may help by trying a new approach given directly to the tumor and then monitoring how well it shrinks and how safe it is.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT05894369Recruiting
Testing how the tumor environment affects pre-op chemo plus immunotherapy
This study looks at people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to see how changes in the “tumor neighborhood” may affect how well treatment works before surgery. If you’re eligible, you would receive chemotherapy plus immunotherapy as neoadjuvant (before-surgery) treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT05899387Recruiting
Study fluid after breast surgery
This study looks at a problem called seroma, which is fluid buildup, after certain breast surgeries. It compares different situations where implants or tissue expanders are used, to better understand what to expect and how to manage it.
Augsburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT05899205Recruiting
Tracking body measurements from patients with cancer surgery
This trial looks at how well patient-recorded measurements can be used during cancer care around the time of curative-intent surgery or chemotherapy before surgery. It may help improve monitoring and decision-making during treatment.
MaastrichtAges 18 years+ - NCT05901519RecruitingPhase 2
Prednisone to protect the liver during focused radiation for liver cancer
This trial tests whether prednisone (an anti-inflammatory steroid) can help protect the liver in people with hepatocellular carcinoma who are getting stereotactic body radiation therapy. It may reduce liver stress from radiation and help you tolerate treatment safely.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05902559Recruiting
Study of new lung-check biomarkers in older adults
This study looks at new blood or test “biomarkers” to understand how well targeted lung health checks work. You join if you’re already attending the NHS lung health check program and can consent.
LondonAges 55–74 - NCT05903131RecruitingPhase 2
Lifestyle program to help keep the uterus in early cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a lifestyle transformation can help treat complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia or early (grade 1) endometrial cancer without removing the uterus. It may help support uterine preservation for people who want to keep fertility or avoid hysterectomy.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05903885Recruiting
Colorectal cancer screening help for Black adults in Nebraska
This study looks at how to improve colorectal cancer prevention and health equity for Black or African American adults. You may be invited because you may be due for colorectal cancer screening based on age and screening history.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 45–75 - NCT05904119RecruitingPhase 3
Lomustine with or without re-irradiation for recurring glioblastoma
This trial studies whether adding repeat radiation (called re-irradiation) to the chemotherapy medicine lomustine can slow or control glioblastoma that has returned or progressed after standard treatment. It’s designed for people whose tumor comes back at least 6 months after their last radiation.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT05907759RecruitingPhase 2
Daratumumab treatment for certain relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies daratumumab (an antibody medicine) for adults whose rare lymph node/immune-related cancers have come back or did not respond to treatment. It may help shrink disease and improve symptoms, including for people living with HIV when their virus is well controlled.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05909501Recruiting
Study of geriatric checkups for new AML treatment plans
This study looks at whether geriatric (age-related health) evaluations help doctors choose better treatment for newly diagnosed AML (a type of leukemia). It may help translate older adults’ needs into a clearer, safer treatment plan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50 years+ - NCT05910177RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery treatment for cervical neuroendocrine cancer with immunotherapy
This Phase 2 trial tests giving camrelizumab plus chemotherapy (etoposide and cisplatin) before surgery for certain cervical neuroendocrine cancers. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by treating cancer early rather than waiting until after surgery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05910801RecruitingPhase 2
Tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and venetoclax for relapsed lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies tafasitamab together with lenalidomide and venetoclax in people with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink the lymphoma and improve disease control when standard options have not worked.
