Manage surgical risk after high-risk cancer operations
This study looks at a “risk-based plan” to help guide care after major cancer surgery, aiming to improve recovery and outcomes. You may be in the study when you’re about to have elective (planned) high-risk cancer surgery and then again just before hospital discharge.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05454488RecruitingPhase 2
Study focal freezing for intermediate-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether freezing only the cancer area in the prostate (focal cryotherapy) can control intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It aims to limit treatment to one tumor focus while closely checking results with targeted and follow-up testing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05455619RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted drugs for PI3K-altered, HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests how well a combination of targeted medicines works for advanced or returning HR+/HER2- breast cancer that has a PI3K pathway change (such as PIK3CA, PTEN, or AKT1). It may help by blocking growth signals in the cancer and is especially for people whose cancer has progressed after hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05462457Recruiting
Tests adding a targeted approach for breast cancer with many involved nodes
This trial studies a treatment plan for early breast cancer that involves at least three suspicious lymph nodes on the ultrasound/imaging. It looks at whether a targeted technique—done before surgery with chemotherapy—can improve or guide care when surgery will remove the lymph nodes.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT05466786Recruiting
Testing gene changes and DNA damage in HER2-low breast cancer
This trial studies breast cancer tumors to see how specific gene changes and DNA damage patterns relate to the cancer in people with HER2-low disease. It may help doctors better predict which patients could benefit from treatments that target these pathways.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05468034Recruiting
Exercise program for metastatic breast cancer using a phone
This trial studies how a supervised exercise program (with treadmill walking and phone tracking) affects people living with metastatic breast cancer. It may help by improving fitness and day-to-day ability, especially if you’re currently not meeting regular exercise goals.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05469269Recruiting
Study to screen for prostate cancer risk in Black men
This project aims to learn about prostate cancer risk and screening needs in Black or African American adults. You may be asked questions and tested as part of determining who might benefit from prostate screening.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40 years+ - NCT05474846RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Combination treatment to improve sleep in advanced cancer
This trial tests a combination approach to improve poor sleep in people with advanced cancer. If you qualify, you would answer sleep and symptom questions and may do a structured therapy (CBT) plus follow-up visits.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05475678RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemo before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests adding camrelizumab (an immune therapy) to standard chemotherapy before surgery for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has not spread. It aims to improve how much the tumor shrinks before and around the time of surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT05477979Recruiting
Study how stress affects lung cancer treatment outcomes
This study looks at whether psychological stress changes how well lung cancer treatments work and what the outlook is. You may qualify if you’re about to start (or recently started) certain immunotherapy-based treatments, and you can complete stress and well-being questionnaires.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05485766RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab with cancer medicines for BRCA-mutated triple negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a treatment plan given before surgery (neoadjuvant) and after surgery (adjuvant) for people with BRCA1/2-mutated triple negative breast cancer that has not spread. It aims to improve how well the cancer responds and how long people stay cancer-free.
Gifu, GifuAges 18 years+ - NCT05487846Recruiting
Peer support during genetic testing for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial offers support from a trained peer to help African American men understand and go through genetic testing for prostate cancer. It may help you feel less overwhelmed and better prepared during the testing and decision-making process.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05491395Recruiting
Radiation after mastectomy with breast implant reconstruction
This trial studies a radiation schedule given after breast cancer surgery when your breast was rebuilt right away with a prosthesis (implant or similar). It aims to see whether this “hypofractionated” (fewer, larger treatment sessions) radiation approach is appropriate for patients who need additional (adjuvant) radiation to reduce recurrence risk.
Barretos, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05490472RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced solid tumors that stopped responding
This early study tests a new medicine (JAB-2485) in adults with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or grown locally). You may join to see if it can shrink tumors or control the disease when other treatments haven’t worked or weren’t tolerated.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05491083RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pembrolizumab plus ADG106 for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This early-phase study tests pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) combined with ADG106 in people with advanced solid tumors, and specifically triple-negative breast cancer. It looks at whether the treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes for cancers that are progressing despite prior therapy.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05494060RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant chemo plus immunotherapy for ctDNA-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding an anti-cancer immune treatment and another targeted drug to standard chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of cancer coming back. It is for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows leftover cancer-related DNA after surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05495776Recruiting
Study checks how often Lynch syndrome happens in colon cancer
This registry study looks at how many people with colon cancer also have Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition that can affect cancer risk. If you enroll, your care team collects basic information from your diagnosis to better estimate how common it is.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT05497024Recruiting
Decision aid testing for older men on prostate cancer surveillance
This trial tests an English decision aid (a patient guide) to help older men understand and feel comfortable with “active surveillance” for localized prostate cancer. It also checks how easy to use it is for patients, caregivers, and prostate cancer clinicians.
Houston, TexasAges 65 years+ - NCT05501379Recruiting
Track activity in cancer patients during treatment
This study compares how physical activity answers on a questionnaire match what a motion tracker measures. It may help researchers understand activity levels in people with lymphoma, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer during treatment.
