Recruiting studies
- NCT07169851RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug for chemo nausea and vomiting
This trial tests a medication called LY3537021 to see if it can prevent nausea and vomiting caused by certain types of chemotherapy (AC or cisplatin) in people who have not had chemo before. It focuses on patients who are otherwise in fairly good health.

MoscowAges 18–99 - NCT05889585Recruiting
Life after germ cell cancer treatment side effects study
This study looks at long-term health problems and quality of life in people who survived germ cell tumors after strong chemotherapy with a stem cell transplant or other standard treatments. It may help doctors understand which late side effects are most common and how to better support survivors.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT07046650RecruitingPhase 2
Cisplatin plus gemcitabine for rare tumors after PD-1 therapy
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, cisplatin and gemcitabine, for people with certain rare cancers that no longer respond to a type of immunotherapy called PD-1 inhibitors. The goal is to see how well this treatment works and what side effects it may cause.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04472845Recruiting
Shorter or longer breast radiation after surgery for high-risk cancer
This trial compares two schedules of radiation after breast surgery in people with high-risk, node-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see whether giving radiation in 1 week or 2 weeks works well and is safe after standard treatments.
ChandigarhAges 18 years+ - NCT05055648RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs photon radiation for esophageal cancer before surgery
This trial compares proton therapy and standard photon therapy given before surgery for esophageal (or stomach–esophagus) cancer. It aims to see which radiation approach works better and is safer as part of a combined treatment plan.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05362760RecruitingPhase 4
Abemaciclib plus hormone therapy, with digital side-effect tracking
This trial tests whether adding abemaciclib to standard hormone (endocrine) therapy can improve outcomes for certain types of advanced breast cancer. It also uses a phone app to help you and the team track side effects so problems can be caught early.
AalenAges 18 years+ - NCT05724004Recruiting
Alectinib then targeted radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests giving alectinib first, then adding targeted radiation to remaining spots of cancer in people with ALK-rearranged advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to control the cancer after an initial response and help keep disease from progressing.
StockholmAges 20 years+ - NCT05787834Recruiting
Home breathing muscle training to lessen cancer treatment side effects
This trial tests whether a home program that strengthens your breathing muscles can reduce side effects while you’re receiving cancer treatment. It may help you breathe more comfortably and tolerate treatment better.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06297902Recruiting
PET-guided Radiation for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. By using a special PET scan to guide where higher radiation doses are given, doctors hope to improve treatment while reducing side effects. It is for people whose cancer is not early-stage and who will receive standard radiation therapy.
BergenAges 18 years+ - NCT06340516Recruiting
Looking at a blood test to track heart health during HER2 breast cancer treatment
This trial is checking if a simple blood test (NT-proBNP) can help spot early signs of heart side effects from certain breast cancer treatments (chemotherapy plus HER2 blockers). If successful, it might help doctors adjust treatment sooner to protect your heart.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06462378RecruitingPhase 2
Proton therapy for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation called proton therapy can work well for cervical cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see if this treatment can shrink tumors with fewer side effects.
CopenhagenAges 18–99 - NCT06615466Recruiting
Short radiation course for early stage breast cancer
This trial tests a shorter, more intense radiation schedule for women with early stage breast cancer after lumpectomy. It aims to provide effective treatment with fewer visits, which may be more convenient for patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 45–74 - NCT06729684Recruiting
Digital health program for breast cancer side effects
This study is testing a personalized digital health program to help breast cancer survivors manage side effects. It uses a smartphone app to track symptoms and offer support.
Seoul, Republic of KoreaAges 18–65 - NCT06752239RecruitingPhase 3
Optimizing radiation to protect thyroid in nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a way to adjust radiation therapy to better protect the thyroid gland during treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It aims to reduce thyroid damage while still effectively treating the cancer.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–70 - NCT06828328RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene-edited TIL therapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called GC203 TIL, which uses your own immune cells (TILs) that have been gene-edited to fight pancreatic cancer. It is for people whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments and who are healthy enough to undergo this therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07035002RecruitingPhase 1
PD-1 knockout TILs for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new therapy where immune cells (TILs) from your tumor are modified to fight cancer more effectively. It's for people with advanced colorectal cancer who can't get standard treatments.
Shanghai, None SelectedAges 18–70 - NCT07116213Recruiting
Shorter radiation after surgery for high-risk endometrial cancer
This trial studies a new type of radiation therapy (called online adaptive radiotherapy) given in shorter, higher daily doses after surgery for high-risk endometrial cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for reducing side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07642375Recruiting
Digital Tools to Manage Sarcoma Treatment Side Effects
This study tests whether a digital app or online tool can help you better manage symptoms and side effects from your sarcoma treatment. Researchers want to see if tracking your symptoms online improves how you feel during cancer care.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT03914378Recruiting
Study how radiation and cisplatin affect hearing in head and neck cancer
This study looks at how radiotherapy, and possibly cisplatin chemotherapy, affect hearing in people treated for head and neck cancer. It may help doctors better predict hearing side effects and plan hearing monitoring or prevention.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT07203742Recruiting
Mandala drawing for anxiety before spinal chemo in kids with leukemia
This study tests whether drawing mandalas (circular patterns) can help children aged 4 to 12 with leukemia feel less anxious and scared before a spinal tap that delivers chemotherapy. It may offer a calming, non-drug way to cope with a stressful procedure.
IzmirAges 4–12 - NCT07304401Recruiting
Closed-loop spinal cord stimulation for chemo-related nerve pain
This trial tests whether a new type of spinal cord stimulator (SCS) can reduce pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have lasting nerve pain after cancer treatment and standard pain medications haven't helped, this device might offer relief.
