This trial tests whether taking lenvatinib after liver cancer surgery can lower the chance of the cancer coming back. It is for people who have a high risk of recurrence and have recently had their liver tumor completely removed.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06803875RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cells for relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial is testing a new type of immunotherapy called hALK.CAR T cells for children and young adults with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if these specially engineered cells can find and destroy the cancer cells.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–29 - NCT06816121Recruiting
Blood test for early lung cancer in high-risk smokers
This study is evaluating a blood-based test that might detect lung cancer early, before symptoms appear. Researchers are looking for heavy smokers who have no signs of cancer, as well as those with suspicious lung nodules or confirmed lung cancer, to see if a simple blood draw could help identify cancer sooner.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 30–80 - NCT06818682RecruitingPhase 2
Shortened hormone therapy with radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of hormone therapy (2 years) plus a new hormone drug (6 months) with radiation is as effective as longer treatment for high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 19–99 - NCT06831552Recruiting
Supporting families of children with high-risk neuroblastoma
This study tests a resource intervention to help families with low income who have a child with high-risk neuroblastoma. It aims to reduce financial stress and improve care during treatment.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges Up to 17 years - NCT06889623Recruiting
Chemotherapy right after surgery for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy immediately after surgery can help people with high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06907095Recruiting
Early cancer detection study for high-risk individuals
This study tests if a simple blood or fluid test can find cancer early in people with a higher-than-average risk. If you have certain genetic mutations, a strong family history of cancer, or other high-risk conditions, you may be able to join.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT06990542RecruitingPhase 2
Focused radiation therapy for intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a more precise radiation therapy that targets tumors seen on MRI or special scans, aiming to treat prostate cancer while reducing side effects. It is for men who have not had prostate surgery or previous radiation to the area.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07019363RecruitingPhase 3
CDK4/6 inhibitor plus hormone therapy for high-risk breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding a CDK4/6 inhibitor (a type of targeted pill) to standard hormone therapy after surgery can lower the risk of breast cancer coming back in women with high-risk, hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-positive early breast cancer.
