Adjuvant curcumin after prostate surgery to prevent cancer return
This Phase 3 trial studies whether taking curcumin (a supplement made from turmeric) after radical prostatectomy can help keep prostate cancer from coming back. Participants are men with low-risk, surgery-only disease and undetectable PSA, and the study checks recurrence-free survival over time.
Dallas, TexasAges 30–80 - NCT01438658Recruiting
Test blood markers to help diagnose metastatic uveal melanoma
This study checks whether blood “biomarkers” (measurable signs in serum) can help diagnose metastatic uveal melanoma. If you have uveal melanoma, the study may look at how useful these blood tests are for spotting spread to other parts of the body.
JerusalemAges Any age - NCT01913106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing valacyclovir with an added cancer gene in prostate radiation
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether adding a cancer-targeting gene therapy (HSV-tk) and the antiviral medicine valacyclovir to brachytherapy can better treat recurrent prostate cancer in the prostate area. It may help by making cancer cells more vulnerable to the treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT01535430Recruiting
Mapping brain function in people with certain brain tumors
This study uses brain “mapping” tests (with MRI and possibly other methods) to identify important brain functions near a tumor. It may help your care team plan a safer surgery by understanding which brain areas do critical tasks.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT01887340RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided treatment for seminoma based on scan response
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment plan guided by a PET scan over time in people with seminoma after testicle removal. It aims to tailor therapy based on how cancer shows up on the scan, potentially helping avoid unnecessary treatment intensity.
Villejuif, Val de MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT02250352Recruiting
Biopsy study to collect breast tumor tissue samples
This study takes small tissue samples (core biopsies) from people with known or suspected breast cancer and stores them for research. It may help scientists better understand breast tumors, especially when the cancer has spread.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02582697RecruitingPhase 3
Faster vs standard chemotherapy for spreading germ cell tumors
This Phase 3 trial compares a faster chemotherapy approach versus the standard schedule for people with intermediate- or poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumors. The goal is to see which schedule works better and is safer enough to use as initial treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 11–50 - NCT02381990Recruiting
MRI- and ultrasound-guided freezing treatment for low-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests using MRI and ultrasound together to guide freezing (cryoablation) treatment for prostate cancer. It may help target the tumor more precisely while avoiding areas that could cause side effects.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 55 years+ - NCT02838602Recruiting
Carbon beam radiation vs standard radiation for resistant tumors
This study compares carbon beam radiation with standard radiation for tumors that are less likely to respond to usual radiation. It aims to see whether carbon beams can improve control of the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT02910895Recruiting
Test of lab-grown sarcoma samples to guide treatment research
This study uses tumor samples from soft tissue sarcoma to create lab models that researchers can test. It may help scientists better understand sarcoma and find more personalized treatment ideas for people like you.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT02389673Recruiting
Radiation during breast surgery for low-grade DCIS
This trial studies giving radiation during surgery for women with a certain early breast condition called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It may help lower the chance that the DCIS comes back, especially when combined with breast-conserving surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT02704520Recruiting
MRI scoring test for rectal cancer response to treatment
This study looks at how an MRI “score” (mrTRG) matches how well locally advanced rectal cancer shrinks after pre-surgery chemotherapy and radiation. The goal is to use MRI results to better predict treatment response and guide care.
Aberdeen, AberdeenshireAges 16 years+ - NCT02870244RecruitingPhase 1
Engineered T-cell therapy for advanced melanoma patients
