Pump-delivered therapy plus chemo for liver-metastatic cancers
This phase 2 study tests a liver-targeted medicine delivered through a special implanted pump, combined with standard chemo, for cancers that spread mainly to the liver. It may help control tumor growth in the liver and improve outcomes compared with standard treatment alone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05225428Recruiting
Video education program based on personal genetic result disclosure
This study tests a video-based education approach that shares information differently depending on someone’s genetic test results. It may help people better understand cancer-related genetic information and what it could mean for them.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04812912Recruiting
Study sexual and reproductive effects in early colon cancer
This study looks at how early-onset colorectal cancer treatment affects reproductive and sexual health over time. It asks eligible people to complete questionnaires so researchers can understand and possibly improve care during and after treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–50 - NCT04693377Recruiting
Freezing tumor treatment plus targeted radiation for painful bone spread
This study tests whether combining a “freezing” procedure (cryoablation) with focused external radiation (SBRT) can reduce pain from bone metastases. It’s for people with certain cancers that have spread to bone and are having significant pain in a specific bone spot.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04624555Recruiting
Check how well stool DNA tests help watch for colon cancer return
This trial studies whether an at-home stool DNA test (Mt-sDNA) can safely and usefully monitor people after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It’s mainly about whether the test is practical and helpful during routine follow-up.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying a new drug for cancers with a specific TP53 change
This trial tests a new drug (rezatapopt) for people with advanced cancers that have a specific change in the TP53 gene, called Y220C. The drug is designed to target this change and may slow or stop cancer growth. Some participants may also receive an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda).
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04589468Recruiting
Exercise for cancer survivors at high risk
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent cancer from coming back in people who have been treated for certain solid tumors (colorectal, ovarian, lung, or breast cancer). If you've completed surgery and adjuvant therapy within the past 2 years and are currently not exercising much, you may be eligible. Participation involves following an exercise plan and regular check-ins.
Durate, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04489238Recruiting
Study of young and average-age colorectal cancer causes
This research collects health information (and for some groups, stool samples) to better understand why colorectal cancer happens in different age groups. If you fit the age and diagnosis criteria, your participation could help researchers find patterns that may improve future care.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04339374Recruiting
Ultrasound and light imaging during rectal cancer surgery
This study tests a newer kind of imaging (ultrasound plus light-based measurements) to help doctors tell rectal cancer apart from other tissue during surgery. You may be able to take part if you’re having surgery for rectal cancer and the tumor is close enough to the anus.
St Louis, MissouriAges 19 years+ - NCT03551951Recruiting
Testing cancer cells and DNA in blood, urine, and bone marrow
This study looks for cancer-related cells and DNA in samples like blood, urine, and (for some) bone marrow. The goal is to see whether these tests can help detect or track solid cancers with minimal added procedures.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT02838836Recruiting
Checking for cancer DNA and tumor cells in bodily samples
