Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05797077RecruitingPhase 3
After-surgery blood test–guided therapy for colon cancer liver spread
This Phase 3 trial tests whether an added “maintenance” treatment after liver surgery can help prevent colorectal cancer from coming back. It is only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) still shows signs of cancer after their operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05815082RecruitingPhase 3
ctDNA-guided chemo after liver surgery for colon cancer
This trial checks whether giving chemotherapy after surgery only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows no remaining cancer can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver who had the tumor fully removed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06200831Recruiting
Same surgery or two surgeries for colorectal cancer with liver spread
This trial compares having one surgery to remove both the colon tumor and liver tumors at the same time versus having two separate surgeries. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for patients whose cancer has spread only to the liver.
OsloAges 18–80 - NCT06326879Recruiting
Comparing early vs late onset colorectal cancer
This study compares patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer at a younger age (under 50) to those diagnosed later in life. By looking at tissue samples and patient surveys, researchers hope to understand differences in the disease and improve care for all ages.
Rozzano, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06846346RecruitingPhase 2

LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06904625Recruiting
Capturing tumor cells in metastatic breast or prostate cancer
This study compares different methods of capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood samples in patients with metastatic breast or prostate cancer. It aims to improve how we detect and monitor cancer cells that have spread, which could help guide future treatment decisions.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT07038304RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for cancer growth in prostate cancer that stopped responding to hormones
This trial tests whether giving precise radiation to a few spots of cancer growth can help control prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. It is for people with up to 3 growing or new spots of cancer on a special scan.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT07136181RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of NBM-BMX for advanced uveal melanoma that has spread
This trial tests a new oral drug, NBM-BMX, for people with metastatic uveal melanoma (melanoma of the eye that has spread). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective. You may join if you have already tried some treatments, including tebentafusp if you are HLA-A*02:01 positive.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07252726RecruitingPhase 4
Morning vs. evening dosing for metastatic breast or prostate cancer
This trial tests whether taking your hormone therapy and targeted pills in the morning or evening affects how well they work and how you feel. It is for people with metastatic breast or prostate cancer starting a specific hormone-based treatment combination.
Kitchener, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07649629Recruiting
Blood test to help diagnose advanced lung cancer
This study tests whether a blood test (liquid biopsy) can help doctors better understand your lung cancer and plan your treatment. You'll have a blood sample taken alongside standard biopsies to see if the blood test provides useful information about your cancer.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT07191717RecruitingPhase 2
Imlunestrant and abemaciclib for early ER+ breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding two targeted drugs, imlunestrant and abemaciclib, to your usual hormone therapy can lower the chance of your breast cancer coming back. It is for people with early-stage ER+ breast cancer who have no signs of cancer on scans but have tiny amounts of tumor DNA in their blood (called ctDNA).
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06411691RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for KRAS-mutant cancers
This trial tests a cancer vaccine designed to target KRAS-mutated tumors, combined with two immunotherapy drugs, for people with advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer. It may help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06562192RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a radioactive drug for advanced pancreatic, lung, breast, and colorectal cancers
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-NNS309) for people with advanced pancreatic, lung, breast, or colorectal cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug can target and shrink tumors.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–100 - NCT05372614RecruitingPhase 1
Testing trastuzumab deruxtecan and neratinib for HER2-positive cancers
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) and neratinib, for people with solid tumors that have a HER2 gene change. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works well for cancers that have not responded to at least one prior treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04348747RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine plus pembrolizumab for breast cancer in the brain
This trial studies whether a personalized immune-cell vaccine (dendritic cell vaccine) combined with pembrolizumab can help control brain metastases from certain types of breast cancer. It may help your immune system better recognize and attack cancer cells in the brain.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03678025RecruitingPhase 3
Standard treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, with or without local treatment
This Phase 3 trial studies whether using the usual medicines for metastatic prostate cancer, plus a definitive local treatment to the prostate, improves outcomes. It may help determine if treating the prostate directly can benefit people whose cancer has not worsened after initial hormone-based treatment.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03808337RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus standard treatment for spread cancer
This trial looks at adding a focused radiation treatment called SBRT to standard care for cancers that have spread to a limited number of spots. It aims to control those spread-out tumors while still using the usual cancer treatment plan.
