Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06274268Recruiting
Sarcopenia and cancer treatment side effects study
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) might affect side effects from cancer treatments. If you are starting a new cancer treatment, a CT scan before treatment can help doctors predict your risk of side effects.
ChambéryAges 18 years+ - NCT06264180RecruitingPhase 3
Viral therapy and nivolumab for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a combination of an investigational viral therapy (VO) and the immunotherapy nivolumab for people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to previous anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 treatments. The goal is to see if this combination works better than other standard treatments your doctor might choose.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 12 years+ - NCT04325425RecruitingPhase 2
First chemotherapy for metastatic aggressive neuroendocrine cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a chemotherapy approach in people with metastatic grade 3 (high-grade) neuroendocrine cancer or a related rare mixed tumor. It may help shrink tumors and control disease when standard first treatments have not yet been given.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT06249191RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mosunetuzumab plus chemo for untreated high-grade B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests adding a drug called mosunetuzumab to standard chemotherapy for people with certain aggressive B-cell lymphomas. It aims to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Portland, OregonAges 18–75 - NCT06244004RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided radiation for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (FDG-PET) to find and treat only the spots where cancer has spread with targeted radiation can help men with prostate cancer that has spread but still responds to hormone therapy. It compares standard treatment alone to standard treatment plus this targeted radiation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06245603Recruiting
Testing Hydeal Cyst with standard treatment for bladder cancer
