Lurbinectedin with osimertinib for transformed small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—lurbinectedin and osimertinib—for people whose lung cancer started as EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer but has changed into small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06307548RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Image-guided surgery and light therapy for colorectal cancer
This trial tests a special dye that helps surgeons see tumors more clearly during surgery, followed by a light therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells. It is for people with advanced or returning colorectal cancer who are already scheduled for surgery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05287451Recruiting
Tube removal now, ovaries later for high cancer-risk women
This study looks at the safety of removing your fallopian tubes first (RRS) and delaying ovary removal (oophorectomy) to lower cancer risk. It focuses on women who carry certain inherited gene changes, and may help avoid earlier menopause for some people.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05990426Recruiting
Alternate day fasting during chemo for gynecologic cancers
This trial tests whether alternating between a fasting day and a normal eating day can help people recovering from gynecologic cancer surgery while they receive chemotherapy. It aims to see if this eating pattern is safe and helpful during treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT01185132RecruitingPhase 3
IMRT versus partial-breast radiation after lumpectomy
This study compares two different ways of giving radiation to the breast after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. It may help determine which approach controls the cancer well while reducing radiation to surrounding healthy tissue.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 40 years+ - NCT02543710RecruitingPhase 4
Biomarker-guided treatment for endometrial cancer
This study uses a tumor “biomarker” test to guide treatment in people with endometrial cancer (and sometimes epithelial ovarian cancer). It tests whether tailoring weekly chemotherapy (paclitaxel) based on biomarker levels can help patients, especially when the cancer has come back or is advanced.
NijmegenAges 18–95 - NCT03392233RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for spinal metastases causing significant pain
This trial tests a focused form of radiation (stereotactic body radiation) to treat cancer spread to the spine, especially when it causes substantial pain. It may help shrink or control the spinal spots while limiting damage to surrounding tissues.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT04074538Recruiting
Colorectal cancer study to help researchers learn patterns
This study is collecting information from people with newly diagnosed colon or rectal cancer, to better understand the disease and support future research. It may help you and others by improving how colorectal cancer is studied and potentially treated over time.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04278469Recruiting
Study for early breast cancer patients with low-risk genes
This trial studies early, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and looks at a group with “high clinical risk” but “low genetic (tumor) risk.” It may help researchers understand which patients may benefit most from treatment decisions guided by genetic tumor testing.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT04288999RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery plus chemo versus chemo-radiation then surgery for recurrent rectal cancer
This study compares two treatment plans for locally recurrent rectal cancer: (1) surgery plus chemo, or (2) chemo plus radiation first, then surgery, followed by chemo. It aims to see which approach works better in controlling the cancer and helping patients recover.
ChibaAges 20–80 - NCT04291378Recruiting
Proton versus standard radiation for early breast cancer
This trial compares two types of radiation—proton therapy and standard photon therapy—for early breast cancer after surgery. It’s mainly for people whose usual radiation plan would put a higher dose to the heart and/or lungs, aiming to reduce that exposure.
