Lifestyle coaching for women with metastatic breast cancer
This study tests a structured lifestyle program (diet and physical activity guidance) for women with metastatic breast cancer. It may help improve well-being and health behaviors, especially if you haven’t been following the recommended nutrition and activity guidelines.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03926338RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery immunotherapy for MSI-H or dMMR colon cancer
This trial studies a treatment given before surgery using toripalimab, with or without celecoxib, for colon or rectal cancer that has MSI-H or dMMR tumor features. It aims to shrink or control the cancer before the operation and compare whether adding celecoxib helps.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03998202Recruiting
Study of chemotherapy side effects in older colorectal cancer patients
This study looks at how chemotherapy and immunotherapy affect the body in older adults with colorectal cancer, especially early side effects. It may help researchers understand why some people lose strength and how to better predict and manage treatment toxicity.
Millville, DelawareAges 60 years+ - NCT04790682Recruiting
Liquid blood test to predict first immunotherapy response
This trial tests whether a “liquid biopsy” blood test can help predict how well first immunotherapy will work for people with stage IV lung cancer. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment strategy sooner.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT07689643RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Radioactive drug plus immunotherapy for FAP-positive lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a radioactive medicine called [177Lu]Lu-RTX-2358 combined with immunotherapy (a type of drug that helps your immune system fight cancer). It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have a specific marker called FAP.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07570979RecruitingPhase 1
Testing INR731 for Metastatic Prostate Cancer
This trial tests a new drug called INR731, given by mouth, for men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The study will check if the drug is safe and how well it works, either alone or combined with other prostate cancer medicines.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04050345Recruiting
Blood test to spot DNA changes after early colon cancer surgery
This study checks a “cell-free tumor DNA” blood test to see if cancer mutations can predict relapse after surgery for early colorectal cancer. If results look risky, they may help guide closer follow-up and future treatment decisions.
Milton Keynes, BuckinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT04068649RecruitingPhase 2
Single high-dose radiation vs standard palliative radiation
This Phase 2 study compares a one-time, high-dose radiation treatment (SBRT) with the usual, shorter-course palliative radiation. The goal is to see which approach better relieves symptoms from metastatic (spread) cancer.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04263298RecruitingPhase 3
Fulvestrant or capecitabine after chemo for metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two medicines—fulvestrant versus capecitabine—as “maintenance” treatment after your first chemo helps control metastatic breast cancer. It aims to see which one helps people live longer with better disease control.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04614103RecruitingPhase 2
Immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer after chemotherapy
This trial studies LN-145, a treatment made from your own immune cells, for metastatic (stage IV) non-small-cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors after your cancer has progressed despite standard first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–70 - NCT04617522RecruitingPhase 1
Sacituzumab govitecan for advanced cancers with moderate liver issues
This Phase 1 study tests how safe and tolerable sacituzumab govitecan is for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who also have moderate liver impairment. It aims to find the right dosing so the treatment can be used more safely in this liver-risk group.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04757337RecruitingPhase 3
Oral chemotherapy comparison for older advanced soft-tissue cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy medicines—oral cyclophosphamide versus doxorubicin—in people age 65 and older with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma that can’t be cured with surgery or radiation. It aims to see which treatment works better and is more tolerable for this age group.
ToulouseAges 65 years+ - NCT04858009RecruitingPhase 2
Warm chemotherapy placed in the belly for pancreatic cancer spread
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment that warms chemotherapy and delivers it directly into the abdomen to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly (peritoneum). You may be eligible if you completed earlier chemotherapy and your body shows signs the cancer is responding, with limited spread in the abdomen.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT06517719Recruiting
Real-world study of Pluvicto for advanced prostate cancer
This study looks at how men with advanced prostate cancer (mCRPC) do when they receive a treatment called Pluvicto (lutetium vipivotide tetraxetan) in real-world settings. It aims to collect information on treatment effectiveness and quality of life without adding any extra procedures or medications.
Konstanz, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–99 - NCT04965077RecruitingPhase 1
First study of MIL97 for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests MIL97, a new treatment, in adults with advanced solid cancers that have come back or cannot be removed. The goal is to find a safe dose and see how the cancer responds.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04990921RecruitingPhase 2
Palliative radiation plus pembrolizumab for metastatic breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding a focused, comfort-focused form of radiation (SBRT) to pembrolizumab can help people with stage IV breast cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. You may be eligible if you can receive palliative SBRT and have measurable tumors, and if you meet prior-therapy and blood/health criteria.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT05010031RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose radiation for metastatic cancer with an ATM mutation
This trial tests whether giving a lower dose of radiation can help control metastatic tumors that carry a specific genetic change in the ATM gene. It may reduce side effects by using less radiation, while still aiming to keep the tumor under control.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05112991RecruitingPhase 2
Check whether envafolimab plus lenvatinib helps advanced uterine cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether envafolimab alone or combined with lenvatinib can slow or shrink advanced endometrial (uterine) cancer. It’s for people whose cancer has grown again or spread and who didn’t do well with standard platinum chemotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05178472Recruiting
Spine radiation plus cement procedure for spine metastasis
This study looks at whether treating certain spine tumors with a cement procedure (vertebroplasty) plus focused radiation can control the cancer and improve quality of life. It is for adults with spine metastases that are not clearly defined and meet specific stability and imaging needs.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05185245Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer spread to the liver
This study looks at whether a liver transplant can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but cannot be removed by surgery. It also checks whether certain cancer features, treatment history, and blood/health status make transplant safer or more effective.
BolognaAges 18–73 - NCT05267912Recruiting
Using tumor organoids to guide treatment for advanced cancers
This study tests whether growing a patient's tumor cells in a dish (called an organoid) can help doctors choose the best next treatment. It is for people with advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer who have run out of standard options.
