New MRI scan to tell tumor from radiation damage
This study tests a special MRI technique to better distinguish between tumor regrowth and radiation-related changes in people with brain tumors. If you've had radiation for a brain tumor and now have suspicious changes, this scan might help guide your next steps.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–60 - NCT06091124RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for neuroendocrine bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) with two chemotherapy drugs (etoposide and cisplatin) given before surgery for a rare, aggressive type of bladder cancer called neuroendocrine carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06085755RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination drug therapy for HER2-low stomach cancer
This trial tests two targeted drugs, trastuzumab deruxtecan and afatinib, together for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has low levels of the HER2 protein. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks tumors or slows cancer growth.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06082349Recruiting
LVA surgery vs sham for cancer-related lymphedema
This study tests a surgery called lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) against a sham (placebo) surgery to see if it helps reduce swelling in people with lymphedema caused by cancer treatment. It is for patients with early-stage lymphedema in one arm or leg that hasn't improved with standard care.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06100705RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus testosterone for advanced prostate cancer
This study combines an immunotherapy drug called sipuleucel-T (which boosts your immune system to fight cancer) with a high-dose testosterone treatment called bipolar androgen therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help men with advanced prostate cancer that is not responding to usual hormone therapy.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06098404Recruiting
Cancer-related thinking and memory changes linked to gut health
This study looks at how gut bacteria might be connected to memory or thinking problems in people with cancer. If you join, you will answer surveys and provide stool samples to help researchers understand this link.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06085625RecruitingPhase 2
Outpatient vs. Overnight Stay After Thyroid Lobectomy
This study compares patient-reported outcomes and safety for patients who have thyroid lobectomy as an outpatient (go home the same day) versus an overnight stay in the hospital. It may be a good fit if you live within 50 miles of the hospital, have someone to help you at home for a few days, and are not at high risk for bleeding complications.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06101290Recruiting
Local therapy for progressing spots in genitourinary cancers
This trial explores whether treating only the new or growing spots of cancer (called oligoprogression) with local therapies like radiation or ablation can help you stay on your current systemic treatment longer. It is for people with prostate, bladder, or kidney cancer that has started to progress in a few places.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06093061RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—tislelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and capecitabine (a chemo pill taken daily)—as maintenance therapy after initial chemotherapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can lower the chance of cancer coming back.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06088771RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of dupilumab and cemiplimab before lung cancer surgery
This study tests two drugs, dupilumab and cemiplimab, given before surgery for early-stage lung cancer. The goal is to see if these immune-boosting medicines can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06083922RecruitingPhase 2
CyBorD plus Daratumumab for kidney disease caused by abnormal proteins
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (CyBorD plus daratumumab) to treat kidney damage caused by abnormal proteins (monoclonal gammopathy). It aims to improve kidney function and reduce protein levels.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06083896RecruitingPhase 1
