Recruiting studies
- NCT04085900Recruiting
Screening test for nasopharyngeal cancer blood markers
This study screens people in certain cities to see whether signs in the blood related to a virus (EBV) can help find nasopharyngeal cancer earlier. It may help identify higher-risk people so they can be checked sooner.
Zhongshan, GuangdongAges 30–69 - NCT04099290Recruiting
Blood DNA test in newly diagnosed head and neck cancer
This study looks at “circulating tumor DNA” (tumor DNA found in blood) in people with newly diagnosed, locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer. Researchers want to see how the blood DNA levels relate to the cancer and how it may guide treatment after surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04053855Recruiting
Check urine for kidney cancer signals before or after surgery
This study looks for tiny substances in urine (called exosomes) to see if they can help identify clear cell kidney cancer. It compares urine samples from people having planned kidney surgery with people having surgery without a scheduled plan.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT04144023RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine before surgery for HER2-positive breast duct cancer in place
This Phase 1 study tests a vaccine (H2NVAC) given before surgery to help the body fight HER2-expressing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) that has not been removed yet. Because it’s early-stage, the main goal is to check safety and learn how the treatment may work.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03948100Recruiting
Yoga coaching for lung or esophageal cancer during radiation
This study tests whether a guided yoga program helps people with lung or esophageal cancer improve strength, daily functioning, and quality of life while they receive radiation therapy. It also involves a family caregiver, to support the patient during treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03977571Recruiting
Surgery plus cancer drugs for kidney cancer that spread
This trial studies whether removing the kidney tumor with “deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy” (surgery at a later time) works best for people whose metastatic kidney cancer is already present. It compares a standard treatment approach using either immunotherapy (nivolumab/ipilimumab) or a targeted pill plus immunotherapy (TKI/IO), with planned surgery afterward.
Aarhus, Central Region of DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT03909282Recruiting
Surgery now versus radiation then delayed surgery for DCIS
This trial compares two approaches for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): having surgery first versus getting radiation first and then having surgery later. It aims to see which plan controls DCIS better while affecting treatment timing and outcomes.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03941756Recruiting
Lymph bypass before underarm node surgery to prevent swelling
This study looks at whether adding a lymph “bypass” procedure before underarm lymph node surgery can lower the chance of arm or chest swelling (lymphedema) after cancer treatment. It compares people having lymph node surgery for breast cancer with plans for radiation, and a melanoma comparison group.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03907826RecruitingPhase 3
PD-1 therapy plus chemoradiation for recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial studies whether adding a PD-1 antibody (an immunotherapy) to standard chemoradiation can better control recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer that can’t be removed with surgery. If you qualify, you’d receive the study treatment and be closely monitored for side effects and cancer response.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT03606967RecruitingPhase 2
Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03521830RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab and other immunotherapy for advanced basal cell skin cancer
This study tests how well the immunotherapy medicine nivolumab works—either by itself or combined with other immune-boosting drugs—for people with advanced basal cell carcinoma that can’t be removed by surgery or has spread. It’s also looking at what to do if the cancer grows again after an earlier immunotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03374267Recruiting
Urologic cancer registry study
This registry study collects information from people with different types of advanced or high-risk urologic cancers. It helps doctors learn more about how these cancers are treated in real life.
Multiple LocationsAges 18 years+ - NCT03191149RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib for lung cancer with an EGFR exon 20 change
This Phase 2 study tests osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have an EGFR exon 20 insertion. It aims to see how well osimertinib works for this specific EGFR mutation and how safe it is.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT03210935Recruiting
National registry for rare skin cancer diagnoses
This trial is a French national database that collects information from people with certain rare skin cancers. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve future care, using real-world patient data.
Dijon, DijonAges Any age - NCT02743832Recruiting
Personalized surgery planning for early mouth cancer
This study helps doctors plan surgery more individually for early-stage oral (mouth) squamous cell carcinoma. It focuses on using tumor features found during evaluation to guide surgical decisions, aiming to improve treatment accuracy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 20–70 - NCT02851784RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Microwave ablation plus immune cell therapy for liver cancer
This study combines microwave ablation, which uses heat to destroy cancer cells, with immune cell therapy that boosts your body's natural defenses to fight the cancer. It may help people with early-stage liver cancer who cannot have surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT02491099RecruitingPhase 2
Afatinib for recurring HER2-positive uterine cancer
This trial tests afatinib, a targeted pill, in people whose uterine serous cancer has a specific HER2 (HER2/neu) tumor marker. It aims to shrink tumors or control the cancer when it keeps coming back.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT02133196RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell treatment for lung cancer that has spread
This Phase 2 study tests a T-cell–based immunotherapy for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite prior treatment. It may help your immune system recognize and fight your cancer using cells made from your tumor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT01511393Enrolling by invitation
Tracking people with thyroid cancer to learn its course
