Recruiting studies
- NCT03897270Recruiting
Breast cancer or healthy women for new breast imaging
This study tests a new way to look at the breast using photoacoustic imaging, alongside a breast MRI. It may help researchers see breast masses more clearly, even though it’s mainly for measuring how well the imaging works.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03899428RecruitingPhase 2
Immune therapy versus targeted therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial compares an immune “checkpoint” medicine to a targeted cancer medicine in people with advanced liver cancer who have hepatitis B in the blood. It aims to lower hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels and see which approach works better and is safest.
Hong Kong, Hong Kong SARAges 18 years+ - NCT03919552RecruitingPhase 3
Chemoradiation with two cisplatin or carboplatin plans for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two chemotherapy-and-radiation combinations (cisplatin-based vs carboplatin-based) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help researchers find which plan works best while balancing safety and effectiveness.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–64 - NCT03949231RecruitingPhase 3
Infusion immunotherapy through the liver artery for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immune “brakes” medicines (PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4) delivered through the liver’s artery, to help treat advanced liver cancer. It may help the immune system attack the cancer more effectively, especially if other local liver treatments aren’t possible or have stopped working.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT03958565Recruiting
Study how targeted drugs affect bone tumors in lung cancer
This trial studies how tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) medicines work against non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the bone. It’s for people with specific “actionable” gene changes, to see how well these treatments reduce or change bone metastases.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT03975231RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drugs and radiation for BRAF-mutated thyroid cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies whether targeted medicines (dabrafenib and trametinib) plus radiation can control an aggressive thyroid cancer with a specific BRAF gene change. It may help by attacking cancer cells that have this mutation and using focused radiation to improve tumor control.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03976999Recruiting
Database study for ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancers
This is a study that collects information and samples from people diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. It helps doctors better understand these cancers by building a clinical and biological database, which may improve care planning in the future.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT03983226RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery plus niraparib for returning ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether adding niraparib (a pill treatment that targets cancer cell DNA repair) after surgery can help people with ovarian cancer that has come back. It focuses on “platinum-sensitive” cases and tries to remove all visible tumor when possible.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03981497Recruiting
Microwave treatment for small, hard-to-remove liver and kidney tumors
This trial tests using a “microwave ablation” procedure to destroy small liver or kidney tumors when surgery isn’t an option or can’t remove everything. It may help patients avoid major surgery by targeting tumors directly with heat.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT03997643RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plan trial to help protect swallowing after mouth cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether changing the “radiation volume” (how much area is treated) can better preserve swallowing after surgery for oral cavity squamous cell cancer. It may help reduce swallowing problems while still treating the cancer safely.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04003051RecruitingPhase 2
Online program to help throat cancer patients swallow and cope
This trial tests a web-based program meant to help people with throat (head and neck) cancer follow swallowing exercises and use coping strategies during curative radiation treatment. It may help improve comfort and how well you can keep up with exercises while you’re getting treatment.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07700992Recruiting
A blood test to find pancreatic cancer early
This study uses stored blood samples from people at higher risk for pancreatic cancer (due to family history or certain pancreatic cysts) to see if a simple blood test can detect the disease early or help monitor it over time.
Milan, MIAges 18–99 - NCT04494945Recruiting
Help for people with inherited cancer risk genes
This study helps identify people who may have an inherited cancer risk and checks how best to support them. Depending on the group, you may only fill out surveys, or you may also create an app account and possibly provide a DNA sample.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT04018872RecruitingPhase 2
Itraconazole trial for esophageal cancer response
This Phase 2 trial tests whether itraconazole (an antifungal medicine) can help people with localized esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer achieve a better “pathologic complete response,” meaning no remaining cancer found after treatment. You may be considered if your cancer is in a localized/locoregional stage and you meet key safety checks.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04074720Recruiting
Collecting breast cancer tissue and blood samples
This study collects tissue and/or blood samples from people with breast cancer to help future research. It may be useful if you’re already having surgery or another procedure as part of your treatment plan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04104607RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a PSMA-targeted immune drug for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a new drug that aims to attach to PSMA on prostate cancer cells and activate T-cells (an immune cell type) to attack the cancer. It is for men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy, especially after several prior treatments.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT04104945Recruiting
Trial to reduce radiation fields in p16+ oropharyngeal cancer
This study tests whether shrinking the “planned radiation area” (elective treatment volumes) can still treat p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer effectively. It may help reduce unnecessary radiation to nearby healthy tissues while keeping the cancer treatment curative.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04114136RecruitingPhase 2
Study tests pembrolizumab or nivolumab plus a diabetes-like drug
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a metabolic (diabetes-related) medicine to an immune therapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) can better control certain solid tumors. It may help people whose standard treatment would usually be pembrolizumab or nivolumab alone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04115254Recruiting
MRI-guided focused radiation for certain tumors
This study tests a type of high-precision radiation guided by MRI pictures to treat certain cancers. It may help doctors deliver radiation more accurately while avoiding nearby healthy tissue, but you must be able to safely complete an MRI scan and meet tumor-size and health requirements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04135664RecruitingPhase 3
Compare surgery vs chemoradiation for early throat cancer
This study compares two ways to treat a type of esophagus cancer: surgical removal (esophagectomy) versus chemoradiation (chemo plus radiation). It is for people with early-stage findings where scans suggest no lymph node spread.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT04138212RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo alone vs chemo with radiation before esophagus surgery
This study compares chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy plus radiation given before surgery for locally advanced esophagus squamous cell cancer. The goal is to see which treatment helps more people have a successful operation and better cancer control.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT04147078RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized immune vaccine after surgery for certain cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized vaccine made for you to help your immune system after you’ve had surgery or ablation for certain cancers. It’s mainly done to check safety and see how well the vaccine can work at preventing cancer from coming back.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–100 - NCT04165070RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stage IV lung cancer trial using pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy
This Phase 1/2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immune-based cancer treatment) either alone or with chemotherapy in people newly diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It looks at how well the treatments work and whether they are safe, especially in people who haven’t had treatment yet for metastatic disease.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04165798Recruiting
Pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy for stage IV lung cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab alone, or pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy, can treat stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes by boosting the immune system, with or without added chemotherapy.
