A study on taste changes during chemotherapy
This study looks at how taste may change when you start chemotherapy for cancer. It aims to help doctors better understand and support patients through these changes.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05874297Recruiting
Online nutrition coaching to help breast cancer chemo side effects
This study tests whether an online nutrition education program can reduce or lessen side effects from chemotherapy in people with breast cancer. If you qualify, you would complete online lessons and questionnaires through the rest of your chemotherapy.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT03589729RecruitingPhase 2
Dexrazoxane to help protect the heart during blood-cancer chemo
This Phase 2 study tests dexrazoxane, a heart-protecting medicine, to reduce heart side effects from chemotherapy in people with certain blood cancers. If you qualify, you would receive dexrazoxane along with chemotherapy, and the team will monitor your heart function closely.

Study of TIL cell therapy for advanced liver, bile, or pancreas cancer
This trial studies a treatment called TIL therapy, which uses your own immune cells grown from a tumor sample, to treat advanced cancers of the liver/bile ducts or pancreas. It’s mainly for people whose standard treatments have already failed (or none exist), and who can safely provide tumor tissue for the cell preparation.
