Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04341181RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted cancer treatment chosen by tumor genetic test results
This Phase 2 trial matches people with advanced cancer to a targeted treatment based on a genetic (DNA) or protein (IHC) test from their tumor. It’s for cancers that are no longer responding to standard treatment or where no standard option is available.
Aalborg, AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT04375904RecruitingPhase 2
Stereotactic radiation for central lung tumors
This trial tests a precise, high-dose radiation treatment aimed at central lung tumors. It may help people who cannot have lung surgery and whose tumors can be safely targeted near sensitive organs.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT04525989Recruiting
Short-course proton vs photon radiation before rectal surgery
This study compares two types of pre-surgery radiation—protons versus standard photons—in people with high-risk rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink and control the tumor while safely getting you ready for surgery, and to see which approach works better.
Stockholm, SolnaAges 18 years+ - NCT04539977RecruitingPhase 2
PD-L1 antibody plus chemotherapy for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a PD-L1 antibody to chemotherapy helps people with newly diagnosed limited-stage small-cell lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. It may benefit patients who have not had any prior cancer treatment for SCLC and can meet health and lab requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04574960RecruitingPhase 3
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before kidney/ureter cancer surgery
This Phase 3 trial studies giving cisplatin-based chemotherapy before surgery for certain newly diagnosed upper-urinary-tract urothelial cancers (kidney/ureter). It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes by treating microscopic disease earlier.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04588025Recruiting
MRI study using a special model to measure pancreatic cancer response
This study tests a new, harmless “disposable” setup for MRI scans to measure how pancreatic cancer treatments affect the body. It may help doctors get more accurate MRI measurements, so treatment response can be assessed better.
Columbus, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT04616209RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer
This early-phase study tests immune cells given from a matched donor to treat advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. It aims to see how safe the treatment is and whether it can help control the cancer.
TaipeiAges 20–70 - NCT04643041Recruiting
Watch-and-wait after PD-1 for certain rectal cancer
This study looks at whether people with a very strong response to a PD-1 antibody can safely delay or avoid more standard rectal cancer treatment (a “watch-and-wait” approach). It may help some people avoid surgery, radiation, or ongoing treatment while still closely monitoring the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04696081Recruiting
Atrial fibrillation treatment in people with active cancer
This trial studies atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in adults who have active cancer. It looks at people whose atrial fibrillation started after their cancer diagnosis or returned after cancer diagnosis.
Caen, NormandyAges 18 years+ - NCT04787354RecruitingPhase 3
Choosing the best length of oxaliplatin after stomach surgery
This trial tests whether giving oxaliplatin for a shorter or longer time works best after curative surgery for stage II–III stomach (or stomach–esophagus junction) cancer. It aims to improve outcomes while balancing side effects from chemotherapy.
Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT04894188Recruiting
Hormone plus radiation before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This trial studies giving hormone treatment and radiation before prostate surgery to treat high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It aims to improve cancer control by shrinking or controlling the tumor before removing it.
Douliu City/Huwei Township, Yunlin CountyAges 20–75 - NCT04894370RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests immunotherapy plus chemotherapy and radiation for anal cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a combination of immunotherapy (spartalizumab), chemotherapy (mDCF includes docetaxel), and radiation to treat metastatic or returning anal squamous cell cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes compared with standard approaches, but eligibility is strict to keep participants safe.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT07699328RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of VRN110755 for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new oral targeted therapy (VRN110755) for people with EGFR-mutant lung cancer. It is for those whose cancer has advanced or spread, and who either have not been treated yet or who stopped responding to previous EGFR pills.
Bedford Park, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07697937RecruitingPhase 2
YH02 injection for advanced solid tumors that didn't respond to treatment
This trial tests a new injection, YH02, directly into tumors for people with advanced solid tumors (like head and neck, breast, or melanoma) that are no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT04951635RecruitingPhase 3
Almonertinib after chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether almonertinib given after standard chemoradiation can help people with stage III, non-surgical lung cancer live longer and/or control the cancer. It is for tumors with specific EGFR mutations linked to sensitivity to EGFR-targeted medicines.
Ji'nan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT04996875RecruitingPhase 2
Bezuclastinib for advanced mast cell disease
This Phase 2 study tests bezuclastinib, a targeted medicine, in people with advanced systemic mastocytosis (including certain advanced forms with blood cancers). It aims to shrink measurable disease and improve symptoms, while helping people who may also need treatment for an associated blood cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05033691Recruiting
Osimertinib plus early brain radiation versus osimertinib alone
This trial tests whether starting focused radiation to brain spots early (called SRS) along with osimertinib works better than taking osimertinib alone. It is for people with lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation and has not yet caused major brain symptoms.
JerusalemAges 18–120 - NCT05052671Recruiting
Blood test for residual cancer in resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial studies a blood test that looks for tiny traces of cancer-related DNA (called ctDNA) in people with pancreatic cancer that can be removed with surgery. The goal is to see whether this test can better predict how the cancer behaves and guide treatment decisions around surgery.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–99 - NCT05104736RecruitingPhase 2
PT-112 for thymus gland tumors after prior chemotherapy
This trial studies PT-112, a new treatment, in people with thymoma or thymic carcinoma that has grown despite at least one prior platinum chemotherapy treatment. It may help shrink tumors or slow disease progression, especially when surgery is not possible.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05116475RecruitingPhase 3
New prostate cancer trial adding darolutamide to standard treatment
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding darolutamide to standard hormone therapy and radiation works better than standard treatment alone for newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has spread to pelvic lymph nodes. If you qualify, you may receive darolutamide or a placebo alongside long-term hormone therapy and radiation.
Chambray-lès-ToursAges 18–120 - NCT05182164RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus cabozantinib for advanced sarcoma patients
This Phase 2 trial studies whether combining pembrolizumab and cabozantinib can control advanced sarcoma that can’t be removed by surgery and has grown or returned after standard treatment. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in adults who have limited treatment options left.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05183984RecruitingPhase 2
Niraparib plus bevacizumab after complete ovarian cancer surgery
This trial tests whether niraparib, taken after surgery, works better when combined with bevacizumab in people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have no visible tumor left. It also aims to see if this approach helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
