Track urine and gut changes during prostate cancer treatment
This study looks at how your urine and gut (intestine) microbes change while you undergo prostate cancer treatments, including hormone therapy (androgen deprivation) and/or radiation. The goal is to better understand these biological changes, which may help improve future treatment planning.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04871607RecruitingPhase 2
Yttrium antibody plus chemotherapy for hard-to-treat Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial studies a targeted antibody therapy with yttrium, combined with intensive chemotherapy, for adults whose Hodgkin lymphoma did not respond well or came back. It may help by delivering cancer-killing radiation directly to lymphoma cells and preparing the body for treatment after transplant conditioning.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04913064Recruiting
White button mushroom supplement for inflammation in high-risk breast cancer
This trial tests whether a white button mushroom powder supplement can lower inflammation in postmenopausal women who have a high risk of breast cancer. If it helps, it could improve early prevention strategies for people at higher risk.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT04930653RecruitingPhase 2
Photopheresis plus mogamulizumab for advanced skin lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of photopheresis and the drug mogamulizumab can improve outcomes in adults with advanced mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, which are types of skin T-cell lymphoma. It may help by targeting lymphoma cells in the skin and immune system.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05339568Recruiting
Smartphone support program for people with advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a “whole process follow-up” care plan, using a smartphone, to support people with non-small cell lung cancer from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. It may help you manage care steps more smoothly if you’re not a candidate for curative (radical) treatment or don’t want surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06476067Recruiting
Predicting early esophageal cancer return after surgery
This trial uses stored tumor tissue to try to predict if esophageal cancer will come back early after surgery. It is for people who had surgery only (no chemo or radiation) and have been followed for at least 2 years.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 20 years+ - NCT06490003Recruiting
Predicting chemotherapy success for esophageal cancer
This trial looks at whether a biopsy taken before chemotherapy can help predict how well the treatment will work for people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to improve future treatment decisions.
