Chemo for return or non-responsive blood cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy plan for certain leukemia and lymphoma types that have come back or did not respond. It may help shrink or control disease when standard treatment is no longer working.
Houston, TexasAges 15 years+ - NCT03144167Recruiting
Blood and scan markers to predict benefit from bevacizumab
This study looks for blood test markers that may predict who survives at 6 months after starting bevacizumab for glioblastoma that has come back. It does not aim to cure the cancer by itself, but to improve doctors’ ability to choose the most helpful treatment plan.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT03201861RecruitingPhase 3
Cisplatin added after surgery for high-risk breast cancer
This trial checks whether adding cisplatin to standard chemotherapy after surgery helps women with high-risk early-stage breast cancer lower the chance of the cancer coming back. You would be followed to see how well treatment works and whether it is tolerated.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT03214562RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for acute leukemia
This trial studies how well venetoclax combined with chemotherapy treats newly diagnosed or returning (relapsed) or hard-to-treat (refractory) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s mainly for people who can’t use standard AML therapy well, or whose disease came back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03267459Recruiting
MRI test before treatment to predict chemotherapy response
This trial looks at whether an MRI scan done before treatment can help predict how well intra-arterial chemotherapy will work for retinoblastoma. If you qualify, your MRI results may help doctors estimate your response and guide care.
ParisAges Any age - NCT03280511RecruitingPhase 2
After surgery chemo sprayed into the abdomen for high-risk colon cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether spraying chemotherapy into the abdomen (through a small procedure) after colon cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It is meant for people with high-risk tumor features but who have had surgery and have no proven relapse yet.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT03326947RecruitingPhase 2
Stathmin test to guide chemotherapy for oral cancer
This Phase 2 trial uses a lab test called “Stathmin” to help predict who may benefit from a specific chemotherapy plan for squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth. It aims to improve treatment choice by linking Stathmin levels to how well chemotherapy works.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03394365RecruitingPhase 3
Tabelecleucel for EBV-related lymphoma after transplant treatment failure
This trial tests tabelecleucel, an immune therapy, for people whose EBV-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) did not respond to rituximab and/or chemotherapy. It may help your immune system better control EBV-driven lymphoma after a transplant.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03396718Recruiting
De-escalating radiation after HPV head and neck cancer surgery
This study looks at whether some people with HPV-positive throat/oropharynx cancer can safely receive a less intense form of radiation (and sometimes chemo) after surgery. It aims to reduce treatment burden while keeping the cancer under control, based on how high-risk the pathology looks.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT03418038RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C with chemotherapy for certain relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests whether intravenous vitamin C (ascorbic acid) added to chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with certain relapsed or treatment-resistant lymphomas or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). It may help by boosting chemotherapy’s effectiveness and/or changing how the cancer responds.
Mankato, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03439371Recruiting
Micro-transplant treatment for older adults with AML in remission
This trial studies a gentler (“micro-”) transplant approach for people ages 60–74 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in remission and cannot safely have the usual stronger transplant conditioning. It may help reduce transplant risks while keeping the leukemia under control.
Clermont-FerrandAges 60–75 - NCT03466424Recruiting
Short radiation then chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation given before chemotherapy for people with locally advanced rectal cancer (cancer that has grown into nearby tissue and/or nearby lymph nodes but can still be removed). It may help shrink the tumor and make treatment more effective while assessing how well this approach works.
