Recruiting studies
- NCT05833867RecruitingPhase 1
Bladder cancer trial combining radiation and Sacituzumab
This Phase 1 study tests whether a new bladder-cancer treatment plan—radiation given at the same time as sacituzumab govitecan—can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer without starting with traditional chemo/radiation. Because it’s early-stage, the main goal is safety and learning the best way to use this combination to preserve the bladder.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05312255Recruiting
Non-drug help to improve quality of life in myeloma
This study tests non-chemotherapy supports meant to improve quality of life and immune health for people with multiple myeloma (or related conditions). Depending on the group, it may involve activities, nutrition, and/or a medication like a beta blocker.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05554302RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan study for brain metastases after surgery
This trial studies how well a special PET scan tracer (18F-fluciclovine) shows amino-acid changes in brain metastases after they are surgically removed. It may help improve how doctors detect and understand brain metastases and guide follow-up treatment like targeted radiation (SRS).
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03889899Recruiting
Device treatment for certain skin, mouth, or surface soft tissue cancers
This trial studies a radiation-emitting device (DaRT) to treat certain cancers on the skin, in the mouth, or in superficial soft tissues. You may qualify if you have a confirmed malignant tumor, enough body strength for treatment, and blood tests and pregnancy status that meet safety limits.
HaifaAges 18 years+ - NCT05796102Recruiting
Testing an MRI-PET scan for esophagus cancer planning
This study tests whether a combined PET-MRI scan can be done safely and used to help plan treatment for people with locally advanced esophageal cancer. It may improve how doctors map the cancer and plan radiation therapy, but it is mainly a feasibility (testing-setup) study.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05798845RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab plus radiation before surgery for stage II–IIIA lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding toripalimab (an immunotherapy medicine) to radiation can improve outcomes for people with operable stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. It’s designed for cancers that can be fully removed with surgery, and it aims to see if this combination helps more than radiation alone/standard care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05805605RecruitingPhase 2
Low-intensity stem cell transplant with donor cells and blood-protection
This Phase 2 study tests a low-intensity bone marrow/stem cell transplant using a matched donor plus two medicines to help prevent the donor cells from attacking you. It aims to treat certain blood cancers—especially when standard treatment has not fully worked or when you are in remission but at higher risk.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 75 years - NCT05779423RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing tumor plus two immunotherapies for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether combining a local treatment that freezes a tumor (cryoablation) with two immune “checkpoint” medicines (ipilimumab and nivolumab) can better control unresectable melanoma. It may help when melanoma has grown after prior immune therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05804227RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Ulixertinib for glioma driven by MAPK pathway
This early-phase trial tests ulixertinib (a targeted pill) to see how well it works for certain gliomas driven by the MAPK/RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway. It also looks at whether the drug can help control tumor growth around the time of treatment planning.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05785780Enrolling by invitation
Help improve colon cancer screening for people with diabetes
This study looks for better ways to make sure people with diabetes get up-to-date colon cancer screening. If you haven’t had the recommended test on time, it may help identify barriers in primary care and improve screening follow-through.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 50–74 - NCT05800600RecruitingPhase 2
Iron treatment to lower anemia during pre-surgery chemotherapy
This trial tests whether giving iron (iron sucrose) can reduce anemia during chemotherapy before curative surgery. It may help you feel better and have smoother treatment by improving low blood counts caused by iron deficiency.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05799144RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus investigational HPV drugs for throat cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) combined with investigational treatment(s) pBI-11 and TA-HPV for advanced or recurrent oropharyngeal cancer that is HPV-positive and has certain immune marker levels (PD-L1 CPS ≥ 1). It may help your immune system better attack cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05782686Recruiting
Shaving wound skin regularly after breast-conserving surgery
This study looks at whether regularly removing (shaving) small amounts of skin during recovery can improve surgical healing and outcomes. It focuses on people having breast-conserving surgery for certain early breast cancers.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05808920Recruiting
Salvage surgery study for recurrent head and neck skin-cell cancer
This study looks at how well people do after “salvage” surgery (planned surgery after prior treatment) for recurrent or residual squamous cell cancer in the head and neck. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most, including how this surgery affects survival and day-to-day function.
DerbyAges 18 years+ - NCT05387863Recruiting
Decision aid for people with small kidney tumors
This trial tests a decision aid—a simple guide—to help kidney cancer patients understand options and make choices with their urology team. It may help you feel more informed and confident before or after your kidney procedure.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05768139RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new targeted drug for advanced solid tumors with PI3Kα mutation
This trial tests tersolisib, a new targeted medicine, in adults with advanced or hard-to-remove solid cancers. It focuses on tumors that have a specific genetic change (PI3Kα mutation) to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05751798RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug OSE-279 for advanced lung cancer that has no key mutations
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well and how safely OSE-279 works in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who cannot be cured with surgery or radiation. It also looks at the right dose and how it may help, especially if the tumor has high PD-L1.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT05752136RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery radiation plus immunotherapy and chemo for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether a short course of radiation before surgery, combined with the immunotherapy drug envafolimab and the chemo regimen CAPEOX, works better for shrinking locally advanced rectal cancer. It is aimed at people whose tumor is not “MMR-deficient” (it is pMMR/MSS), and it asks participants to be able to return for repeated checkups and treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05772481Recruiting
PET-MRI scan test for rectal cancer after pre-surgery treatment
This study looks at whether a special scan called PET-MRI can better show how rectal cancer responds to treatment given before surgery. If it works well, it could help doctors plan the right next steps after chemoradiotherapy.
StrasbourgAges 18–75 - NCT05749289RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
PET/CT scan for tumors with positive SSTR signals
This trial looks at how a special PET/CT scan using a substance called Al18F-octreotide can find and evaluate tumors that show a certain target signal (SSTR). It may help doctors better see where the tumor is and guide next steps in care.
Beijing, Chao YangAges 18 years+ - NCT05775939Recruiting
PET/CT scan study to track heart damage from cancer radiation
This study uses a special scan (PET/CT) to look for early heart (cardiac) injury caused by radiation treatment for lung or esophageal cancer. If you may be at higher heart risk from your planned radiation dose, the scan may help researchers better measure that damage over time.
