Recruiting studies
- NCT05108090Recruiting
Sentinel node biopsy for head and neck skin cancer
This study checks whether a “sentinel lymph node biopsy” can help find if skin cancer in the head or neck has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It uses special dye/medicine and imaging, then removes the cancer and the sentinel node soon after scanning.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05252078RecruitingPhase 2
Anlotinib plus an injection after esophageal cancer surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether anlotinib tablets combined with an injection (TQB2450) can lower the risk of esophageal squamous cell cancer coming back after surgery. It may help by targeting cancer growth signals and blood-vessel formation to reduce recurrence.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05263050RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests a new cabozantinib schedule for kidney and neuroendocrine tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a different dosing schedule of cabozantinib (a cancer medicine) for metastatic kidney cancer and certain neuroendocrine tumors. It aims to see if the timing and schedule can work well for people with advanced disease.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05283226RecruitingPhase 2
Oral anti-cancer pill plus paclitaxel after immunotherapy failure
This Phase 2 trial studies an oral study drug (NRC-2694-A) given with paclitaxel to treat head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back or spread after immunotherapy. It tests whether this combination is safer and works better than expected for people whose cancer progressed on immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05286814RecruitingPhase 2
Pump-delivered therapy plus chemo for liver-metastatic cancers
This phase 2 study tests a liver-targeted medicine delivered through a special implanted pump, combined with standard chemo, for cancers that spread mainly to the liver. It may help control tumor growth in the liver and improve outcomes compared with standard treatment alone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05317819RecruitingPhase 3
Test ADI-PEG 20 versus placebo for advanced liver cancer
This study tests whether ADI-PEG 20 helps people with advanced, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) who have high arginine levels. Participants get ADI-PEG 20 or a placebo to see which works better and improves outcomes.
ChanghuaAges 18–99 - NCT05333523RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized neck radiation using a lymph node sentinel biopsy
This Phase 3 trial tests whether guiding neck radiation by checking the “sentinel” lymph node can target treatment more precisely in certain larynx, hypopharynx, or oropharynx cancers. It aims to improve control while potentially reducing unnecessary radiation to areas that don’t need it.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05366829RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab after liver tumor radiation to reduce cancer return
This Phase 2 trial tests tislelizumab (an immunotherapy medicine) given after liver-directed radiation to help prevent hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) from coming back or spreading. It may help by boosting the immune system to better control remaining cancer.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05422794RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug plus pembrolizumab to standard chemo for TNBC
This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05433467Recruiting
CT-guided locating for tiny liver cancer before surgery
This study tests a CT-guided method to find and precisely locate very small liver cancer spots before surgery. It may help surgeons remove the tumor more accurately when standard scans cannot clearly see it.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05519878Recruiting
Light plus job therapy for fatigue in genitourinary cancer
This trial tests whether light therapy and an occupational therapy fatigue program can reduce fatigue in people with certain urinary-system cancers who still have mild fatigue during treatment. It may help you feel more energized and manage day-to-day activity while cancer treatment is ongoing.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05575440Recruiting
Testing an iodine-like PET/CT scan for thyroid cancer
This study checks how well a new PET/CT scan (18F-TFB) can find thyroid cancer after a standard iodine whole-body scan. It may help doctors see where the cancer is using an added imaging test, which could improve planning for care.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05621837Recruiting
Biomarker study to guide treatment for several advanced cancers
This study measures how strongly your immune system is being suppressed and uses that information to help personalize cancer treatment. It mainly looks at people with certain advanced cancers and needs tumor tissue and follow-up to check possible immune-related markers.
MilanAges 18–90 - NCT05641935RecruitingPhase 2
Ultrasound scan to check kidney cancer return after ablation
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan with contrast can help doctors find kidney cancer that comes back after a procedure called ablation. It may help improve monitoring by comparing the ultrasound results with CT or MRI scans done soon after treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05677802Recruiting
Stress-reduction program for newly diagnosed triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests whether a structured stress-reduction program can help people with newly diagnosed triple-negative breast cancer (stages I–III). The goal is to see if the program is practical and beneficial for patients during treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05691010RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Short-course radiation plus chemotherapy for endometrial cancer
This early-phase study tests whether giving a short course of radiation together with chemotherapy can help treat endometrial cancer after surgery. It aims to find a treatment plan that is effective while keeping side effects manageable.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05693116Recruiting
Study factors that affect outcomes in nasal vestibule cancer
This study looks at survival and outcome factors for people who have squamous cell carcinoma in the nasal vestibule. It uses information from surgery and scans and checks tissue samples to see what predicts recovery or risk of problems later.
Toulouse, TouluseAges 18 years+ - NCT05700461RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new implant drug delivery device for kidney cancer
This early-phase study tests a new small implant (“IMD”) that can deliver a drug for people with kidney cancer going to surgery. If you qualify, you would get the implant placed through the skin and later have it removed during your operation, along with extra lab checks and genetic testing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05741164RecruitingPhase 2
Propranolol plus pembrolizumab for hard-to-treat breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding propranolol to pembrolizumab can “re-sensitize” tumors and slow cancer in triple-negative breast cancer that no longer responds to checkpoint immunotherapy. It may help some people whose cancer has grown despite prior pembrolizumab and chemotherapy.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05797415Recruiting
Check sentinel lymph node biopsy for several eye skin cancers
This trial studies whether a “sentinel lymph node biopsy” can better detect cancer spread in people with specific cancers of the eye surface and nearby tissues. It may help doctors find the right next treatment by learning whether lymph nodes are involved.
Roma, RomeAges 18–95 - NCT05810402Recruiting
Testing immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer using blood tests
This study looks at how well immune-checkpoint therapy (a PD-1 or PD-L1 immunotherapy) works for advanced liver cancer, using “liquid biopsy” blood testing to guide or monitor care. It may help your team better track your cancer and response without needing repeated tissue biopsies.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT05830058RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided focused radiation for limited worsening lung, melanoma, kidney cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a PET scan to guide focused radiation (SBRT) can control a small number of cancer spots that are starting to grow despite prior treatment. It may help patients avoid wider radiation by targeting only the limited progressing areas.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05868226RecruitingPhase 1
