Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04322578RecruitingPhase 2
Crizotinib versus standard chemotherapy for MET exon 14 lung cancer
This study compares crizotinib to standard chemotherapy for people with advanced (spread) non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific change called MET exon 14 skipping. The goal is to see which treatment works better and how safely it controls the cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04409860Recruiting
Adjuvant chemo after chemoradiation for advanced cervical cancer
This trial looks at whether adding chemotherapy after standard chemoradiation helps people with locally advanced cervical cancer. You may be eligible if your MRI after treatment still shows leftover tumor areas and your health and blood tests are within required limits.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04495088RecruitingPhase 3
Before vs after chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 3 study compares giving chemotherapy before rectal surgery versus giving it after surgery, using a tailored plan based on your risk. The goal is to see which timing helps more people with locally advanced rectal cancer stay cancer-free and live longer.
MannheimAges 18 years+ - NCT04513444RecruitingPhase 2
Medical hypnosis to reduce anxiety during cancer radiotherapy
This Phase 2 study tests whether medical hypnosis can help people feel less anxious while they receive radiation treatment for cancer. It targets adults who have moderate to very high anxiety right after treatment planning.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT04516447RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies how well and how safely azenosertib (ZN-c3) works in people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. It may help by offering a new treatment option for cancers that don’t respond well to platinum chemotherapy (platinum-resistant).
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04575935RecruitingPhase 3
Minimally invasive surgery after chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether doing surgery using smaller incisions after chemotherapy works as well as a more traditional approach for certain people with stage IIIC–IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help reduce surgical trauma while aiming for effective tumor removal.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04665388Recruiting
Mapping immune responses in people with certain virus-related cancers
This study collects blood and/or tumor-related samples to map how your immune system recognizes cancer. It aims to better understand immune targets and immune cell types, which may help guide future cancer treatments for certain virus-related cancers.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04680377Recruiting
Using gut microbes to predict durvalumab side effects in lung cancer
This study looks at the microbiome (the tiny organisms in your gut) to try to predict who will get side effects from durvalumab after chemoradiation. If you join, your care team will use your microbiome results to help understand toxicity risk and improve future treatment planning.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04703101RecruitingPhase 1
Short radiation plus chemo for stage II–III rectal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy for people with stage II or III rectal cancer. It’s designed to see whether this approach is safe and effective before or around cancer surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04733820RecruitingPhase 3
Extra chemo after surgery for advanced cervical cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding chemotherapy after surgery helps people with locally advanced cervical cancer, especially when prior treatment didn’t fully match standard guidelines. It looks at whether this “adjuvant” chemotherapy improves outcomes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and an extensive hysterectomy.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT04764357Recruiting
Scalp cooling to help prevent chemotherapy-related hair loss in kids
This study looks at whether “cold cap” scalp cooling can help prevent or reduce hair loss in children getting chemotherapy. It’s aimed at kids treated with certain chemotherapy medicines and who may be at risk for losing their hair.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 7 years+ - NCT04789486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MR-guided radiation plus nanoparticles for central lung or pancreatic tumors
This early-phase study tests a new way to deliver focused radiation using MRI guidance and tiny particles, aiming to treat certain central lung tumors or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It’s designed to see how safe it is and how well it can control these tumors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04807673RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab before surgery versus chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This Phase 3 study compares two treatment plans before surgery for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It tests whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) to chemotherapy improves outcomes compared with standard chemoradiation.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04852328RecruitingPhase 2
Testing CUE-101 schedules before treatment for HPV16 throat cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies different timing “schedules” of CUE-101 given before surgery or before chemoradiation for HPV16-positive oropharyngeal throat cancer. The goal is to see if CUE-101 can help the body respond better and potentially improve outcomes.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04861584RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before bladder surgery for advanced cancer
This trial studies giving toripalimab (an immunotherapy) together with gemcitabine and cisplatin before bladder surgery. It aims to shrink locally advanced bladder cancer and make surgery more effective by using the immune system and chemotherapy together.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04865887RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib for advanced cervical cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether pembrolizumab and lenvatinib can improve outcomes in people with advanced cervical cancer that has grown or stopped responding to earlier treatments. It may help by boosting the immune system and slowing cancer growth.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04926584Recruiting
Immunotherapy for advanced or limited-spread lung cancer
This trial tests whether starting immunotherapy can help people with newly diagnosed advanced or limited-spread non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be fully cured with standard local treatments. It may offer a new treatment approach when surgery or definitive chemoradiation isn’t a good option.
Esslingen am NeckarAges 18 years+ - NCT07698405Recruiting
Advanced rehab technology for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
