Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07401316Recruiting
Tracking germ cell tumors with a blood test for cancer DNA
This trial looks for signs of cancer DNA in your blood (circulating tumor DNA) to see if it can help track germ cell tumors. It may help doctors find out if your cancer is coming back earlier.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05705687Recruiting
Testing a treatment plan for higher-risk testicular cancer
This trial checks whether a specific treatment approach works better for men with higher-risk non-seminomatous germ-cell tumors that have spread. Doctors will use tumor marker changes and where the cancer started (often the chest area) to help guide treatment choices.
VillejuifAges 16 years+ - NCT03067181RecruitingPhase 3
Active surveillance and chemotherapy for germ cell tumors
This study looks at how to manage germ cell tumors in children and young adults using careful monitoring for some patients and chemotherapy for others. It aims to see whether these approaches can control the cancer while avoiding unnecessary treatment when possible.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT04185038RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy through a catheter for pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR T) delivered directly in the brain-area space using a catheter. It may help children and young adults with hard-to-treat (recurrent or refractory) diffuse midline brain tumors like DIPG/DMG when standard options aren’t working.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 1–26 - NCT04308330RecruitingPhase 1
Vorinostat plus chemotherapy for advanced tumors in brain
This Phase 1 trial studies how safe and tolerable vorinostat is when combined with chemotherapy for cancers that have come back or are hard to treat, including tumors in the brain or spinal cord. It may help doctors find a better way to treat advanced solid tumors and CNS (brain/spinal cord) cancers.
Valhalla, New YorkAges 1–30 - NCT04804007RecruitingPhase 2
Etoposide or watchful waiting after high-dose chemo
This phase 2 study looks at whether taking oral etoposide after high-dose chemotherapy helps people with a certain type of testicular or ovarian cancer avoid relapse. If you qualify, you may be assigned to take the medicine or simply be monitored without additional treatment.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT04897321RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy for children with B7-H3 solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a lab-made immune therapy (CAR T cells) made from your own cells to treat children’s solid tumors that have a specific marker called B7-H3. It is designed for kids whose cancer has come back or did not respond to standard treatment, aiming to shrink tumors and keep the therapy safe.
