ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05977998RecruitingPhase 2
Paclitaxel given during surgery for stomach cancer spread to the belly
This trial studies whether adding paclitaxel chemotherapy around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It targets cancers confirmed by testing of belly fluid or by laparoscopy/laparotomy, and may help by treating cancer cells right at the time of surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05985161RecruitingPhase 2
Selinexor for wilms tumor and other solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called selinexor for children and young adults with certain types of solid tumors (like Wilms tumor, rhabdoid tumors, MPNST, or others with specific genetic changes) that have come back or not responded to standard treatment. Participants take selinexor pills to see if it can shrink or control their cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1 year+ - NCT05998135RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Atovaquone for Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
This trial tests whether a drug called atovaquone, already used for other conditions, can help people with ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemotherapy. It aims to find a new treatment option for this hard-to-treat type of cancer.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03717844Recruiting
Registry for adults with plasma cell disorders
This study is a registry that collects information about adults with plasma cell disorders (conditions involving abnormal antibody-producing cells). It may help researchers understand these diseases better and improve future care by tracking patients over time.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05949983Recruiting
Exercise program for women with breast cancer
This study looks at how a tailored (adapted) physical activity program affects health outcomes and costs for women with breast cancer. It may help you stay active and feel better during or after treatment, while researchers track the program’s overall value.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT05955014Recruiting
Study collects data from people with von Hippel-Lindau disease
This study is for people with von Hippel-Lindau (vHL) disease to collect information for research. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how to care for people with it.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05961982Recruiting
EUS-guided heat treatment for pancreatic cysts
This study tests whether an endoscopy-based “radiofrequency ablation” (controlled heating) can manage certain pancreatic cysts that look high-risk. It’s designed for people who are not good candidates for surgery, aiming to shrink or control the cyst safely.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05954858Recruiting
Surgical flap to help treat glioblastoma by bypassing the blood-brain barrier
This trial tests a surgical technique that places a tissue flap near a glioblastoma surgery site to help medicines reach the brain more effectively. You might be considered if you are planning major brain tumor surgery and meet specific health, imaging, and lab requirements.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05952804RecruitingPhase 2
IVIG to help prevent infections after CAR-T treatment
This Phase 2 study tests whether IVIG (a blood product that helps fight infections) can lower infection risk after you receive CD19 CAR-T therapy. It’s meant to help protect you during the vulnerable period after CAR-T treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05967182RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before or around liver surgery
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin given around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, potentially operable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver). It may help by strengthening the immune system while also treating the cancer with chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05947136Recruiting
PASCA program study after stem cell transplant for myeloma
This study checks whether the PASCA health program helps reduce complications in people with multiple myeloma after their first stem cell transplant. It may help by improving how patients manage side effects during recovery and ongoing treatment.
