LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05033301Recruiting
Nurse Ned Clinic support for prostate cancer survivors
This study tests a nurse-led clinic (“Nurse Ned Clinic”) to see how well it supports men after curative (potentially curative) prostate cancer treatment. It may help you manage follow-up care during survivorship if you are at low risk of cancer coming back.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05048212RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab, ipilimumab, and cabozantinib for kidney cancer brain spread
This Phase 2 study tests how well nivolumab plus ipilimumab, along with cabozantinib, treats untreated or worsening kidney cancer that has spread to the brain. It may help shrink brain tumors and slow the disease when standard local brain treatments aren’t the right option.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05064280RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib for brain metastases from solid tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies whether combining pembrolizumab with lenvatinib can shrink or control brain metastases in people with triple-negative breast cancer, lung cancer, or other solid tumors. It focuses on patients who have measurable brain lesions that can be followed on MRI.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05066139Recruiting
Study of older adults with digestive cancer
This study checks how well different care plans work for people age 75 and older who have digestive cancer and are about to start chemotherapy or targeted therapy. The goal is to improve treatment support and outcomes by doing a detailed, multidisciplinary evaluation.
StrasbourgAges 75 years+ - NCT05083754RecruitingPhase 1
New glioblastoma trial testing immune drug plus radiation
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding an immune therapy called retifanlimab to radiation (and a chemotherapy medicine called temozolomide, in some parts of the study) is safe and helpful for newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients after surgery with carmustine wafers. It aims to see how well this combination controls the cancer and what side effects are expected.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05097625Recruiting
Testing early detection of head and neck cancer relapse
This study aims to find signs of head and neck cancer coming back early, using scans/tests after you’ve had radical treatment. If you’re at higher risk and HPV-negative, this may help doctors catch relapse sooner.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05106296RecruitingPhase 1
Chemo-immunotherapy with ibrutinib and indoximod for pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a combination treatment (ibrutinib plus indoximod along with chemotherapy) for children with brain tumors that have come back or are hard to treat. It may help shrink active tumor or control the disease when standard treatments can’t cure it.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 3–25 - NCT05112549RecruitingPhase 1
PD-1 antibody placed into brain fluid for metastatic cancer
This early-phase study tests a PD-1 antibody delivered directly into the brain fluid (intrathecal space) to treat metastatic solid tumors that have spread to the lining around the brain/spinal cord (leptomeningeal disease). It aims to see whether this approach can better control cancer in that area and whether it’s safe.
BonnAges 18 years+ - NCT05132504RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy and immunotherapy for operable pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests giving chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) before surgery, to shrink or control potentially removable pancreatic cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes while making sure the cancer can still be safely removed by surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05141474RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized immune cell treatment for advanced cancers after failed therapy
This trial tests a personalized therapy made from your own immune cells (TIL) picked to match your tumor’s “neoantigens,” plus standard immune-boosting medicine (including IL-2). It’s for people with advanced epithelial or immune “resistant” solid tumors whose cancer has continued growing despite available treatments.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05150691RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early study of an HER2 drug in advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests DB-1303 and BNT323 together in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have specific HER2 features. It may be an option when standard treatments have stopped working, aiming to find a safer dose and early signs of effectiveness.
Cerritos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05172310RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan study using a new tracer for solid tumors
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan using a new tracer (68Ga-FAPI) to help show tumors in the pancreas, bile ducts, stomach, or certain ovarian cancers. It may help doctors better see where cancer is in preparation for surgery or biopsy.
StockholmAges 19 years+ - NCT05196334Recruiting
Testing pancreatic lab samples to guide future treatments
This study uses small pancreatic cancer samples grown in the lab to understand which treatments may work best for people with pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better “profile” tumors so standard care can be matched to the most effective options.
Herlev, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05201404RecruitingPhase 3
Namodenoson for advanced liver cancer with moderate cirrhosis
This Phase 3 trial studies whether namodenoson can slow or control advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) in people whose cirrhosis is in a specific middle range. It may help if standard treatments have not worked or the cancer has spread and is not expected to be cured.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05219695Recruiting
Imaging and controlled heat treatment for breast tumors
This study uses special ultrasound-like imaging to guide a controlled heat treatment during planned surgery for certain breast tumors. It may help doctors better see and treat tumor tissue while you already have surgery scheduled.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05221372Recruiting
Sampling study for lung cancer patients on targeted pills
This trial collects blood samples from adults with advanced lung cancer that has a specific gene change and who are already taking targeted pill treatment (TKIs). The goal is to learn from these samples and how they relate to the cancer in patients on standard therapy.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05224934Recruiting
Radiation before surgery for retroperitoneal soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests giving a shorter, lower-dose radiation treatment before surgery for a retroperitoneal (deep belly/back space) soft-tissue sarcoma. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor and make surgery more effective and safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05236114Recruiting
Study of blood and tumor tests for lung cancer treatment
This study looks at how tumor and blood biomarker results can guide treatment for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Depending on the cancer stage, it may follow standard-of-care treatment plans around surgery or first-line immunotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05241249RecruitingPhase 2
Bethanechol plus chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding bethanechol to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) can work better for people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. You may be considered if your cancer is not spread and you can safely take the medicines and follow study visits.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05248750Recruiting
Study of genes, tumor environment, and immune factors in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at tissue samples from people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to understand how genes, the tumor “neighborhood,” and the immune response may affect the cancer. Your participation may help researchers learn what drives the disease and how treatment might work better for you.
Rome, LazioAges 18–80 - NCT05281731Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided “sonobiopsy” for new brain tumor diagnosis
This trial tests a new way to take a tiny tissue sample from a suspected glioblastoma using ultrasound, to improve noninvasive detection. You may be able to get this targeted sample while you’re already planning surgery for tumor removal.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05287464Recruiting
Study for metastatic kidney cancer treatments combinations
This trial studies people with advanced (metastatic) kidney cancer who are starting a specific set of first-line treatment combinations (including drugs like nivolumab, pembrolizumab, or avelumab, paired with targeted medicines). It may help improve how these treatment plans work for different types of kidney cancer.
Province of Macerata, MacerataAges 18 years+ - NCT05287945RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
