This trial looks at breast cancer “proteins” and molecular features using tumor samples taken during surgery or biopsy. The goal is to better understand why breast cancers behave differently, which may help guide more personalized treatment in the future.
CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05123482RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an experimental drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, called AZD8205, alone or with other medicines, for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05068232RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus targeted radiation for metastatic small cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests durvalumab (an immunotherapy) together with focused, ablative radiation to treat metastatic small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes, especially when at least one tumor can be safely targeted with this radiation plan.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04516447RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies how well and how safely azenosertib (ZN-c3) works in people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. It may help by offering a new treatment option for cancers that don’t respond well to platinum chemotherapy (platinum-resistant).
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04434040RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab and sacituzumab to prevent breast cancer return
This trial tests two medicines after surgery and chemotherapy to help lower the risk that triple-negative breast cancer comes back. It’s for people whose cancer still showed “residual” invasive disease after neoadjuvant (before-surgery) chemotherapy, and whose blood test shows traces of tumor DNA.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03483337Recruiting
MRI scan tests new markers for head and neck cancers
This trial tests special MRI scans to find warning signs of cancer that has returned or spread in the head and neck area. It may help doctors see these changes more clearly, which could improve treatment planning.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03137095Recruiting
Study how chemotherapy affects brain function in breast cancer
This study looks at changes in thinking and brain function in people with early to locally advanced breast cancer before and during chemotherapy. You may also be offered a brain MRI in a separate optional part of the research to learn more about brain changes.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT03161522RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo alone versus with radiation or surgery for limited spread
This study tests whether adding radiation or surgery to chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people whose esophageal or stomach cancer has spread to only a few places. If your cancer is “oligometastatic” (up to 3 spots), the trial helps doctors see which approach gives the best control.
Houston, TexasAges 18–79 - NCT03051464RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing two ways to boost radiation to prevent rectal surgery
This study looks at whether two different added “boosts” of radiation can work as well for rectal cancer patients, aiming to avoid or reduce the need for rectal cancer surgery. You would receive a specific combination of radiation (including brachytherapy) and chemotherapy, and your tumor’s location and size will determine if you can take part.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT02338167Recruiting
Study for pregnant women with breast cancer
This study is for adults with breast cancer who are pregnant and are either newly diagnosed (early) or have locally advanced or metastatic disease. It aims to better understand how breast cancer treatment should be managed during pregnancy.
Böblingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–99 - NCT01742143Recruiting
Helping underserved patients finish cancer treatment and feel better
This study tests a support program (ICCAN) designed to help people from underserved communities better complete chemotherapy or radiation and improve quality of life. It may help by connecting patients with practical resources and support during treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 21–80 - NCT06223568RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with or without vaccine for HPV-related throat cancer
This trial compares standard chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy combined with an investigational vaccine (PRGN-2009) before surgery for newly diagnosed HPV-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancer. The goal is to see if adding the vaccine improves outcomes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07877376Recruiting
How thinking problems affect pain in breast cancer survivors
This study looks at whether mild memory or thinking issues after breast cancer treatment are linked to ongoing pain. If you join, you will help doctors understand this connection, which may lead to better pain care.
Boulogne-Billancourt, IDEAges 35–65 - NCT06007924RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two drugs for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests two oral medications, avutometinib and defactinib, for people with advanced thyroid cancer that has specific genetic changes. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07203729RecruitingPhase 2
A new drug for advanced breast cancer with severe symptoms
This trial tests a new drug called SHR-A1811 (a type of targeted therapy) for people with advanced breast cancer that is HER2-low and is causing severe symptoms (visceral crisis). The drug is given alone and aims to control the cancer and relieve symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03392233RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for spinal metastases causing significant pain
This trial tests a focused form of radiation (stereotactic body radiation) to treat cancer spread to the spine, especially when it causes substantial pain. It may help shrink or control the spinal spots while limiting damage to surrounding tissues.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT03541928RecruitingPhase 2
Gene therapy with standard treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial combines gene therapy with hormone therapy, radiation, and possibly surgery to treat high-risk prostate cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by adding gene therapy to standard treatments and will require additional biopsies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04829708RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing brain spread in limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to manage limited-stage small cell lung cancer that has improved after initial chemotherapy and radiation. Participants will either get preventive brain radiation or have regular brain MRI scans instead, to see which approach is safer and works better.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT05035147RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin-bound paclitaxel plus gemcitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies a chemotherapy combination (albumin-bound paclitaxel and gemcitabine) as first treatment for pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to improve outcomes by testing how well this treatment works in people with locally advanced or metastatic disease.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05375591Recruiting
AI study to sort lung nodules after past cancer treatment
This study uses computer tools (AI) and detailed scan patterns to better classify new lung nodules in people who previously had curative-intent cancer treatment. It may help doctors decide whether a nodule is likely benign or cancer, using your CT scan and related medical history.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05491395Recruiting
Radiation after mastectomy with breast implant reconstruction
This trial studies a radiation schedule given after breast cancer surgery when your breast was rebuilt right away with a prosthesis (implant or similar). It aims to see whether this “hypofractionated” (fewer, larger treatment sessions) radiation approach is appropriate for patients who need additional (adjuvant) radiation to reduce recurrence risk.
