This study looks at how social and environmental factors affect breast cancer survivorship in Black women. It aims to develop and test an intervention to improve outcomes, and it involves both trainers and participants.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07125729Recruiting
Early cancer detection test for colorectal cancer
This trial uses two blood tests (Signatera and Haystack) to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after surgery, to find out if the cancer comes back as early as possible. People with stage II, III, or IV colorectal cancer who have had or will have surgery to remove their tumor may join.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07482384Recruiting
Support program for young women with early-stage breast cancer
This study tests a mobile health program that provides support and information to young women with early-stage breast cancer who are on hormone therapy. The goal is to help you stay on your treatment and manage side effects.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–49 - NCT05930483Recruiting
Remote weight loss program for Hispanic/Latina breast cancer survivors
This trial tests a community-style, online (remote) weight loss program for people who finished breast cancer treatment and are now trying to improve health and weight. It may help by supporting safer weight loss through diet/energy reduction and physical activity.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06411691RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for KRAS-mutant cancers
This trial tests a cancer vaccine designed to target KRAS-mutated tumors, combined with two immunotherapy drugs, for people with advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer. It may help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06458036RecruitingPhase 2
Selpercatinib before radioactive iodine for RET-positive thyroid cancer
This study tests whether a targeted drug called selpercatinib, taken before radioactive iodine therapy, can help treat thyroid cancer in children and young adults who have a specific genetic change (RET fusion or mutation). The drug may make the cancer more sensitive to the radioactive iodine treatment that follows.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–25 - NCT04847063RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug heating inside the abdomen for peritoneal cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a treatment that delivers heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (HIPEC) for certain cancers that have spread only within the abdominal lining. It aims to see how safely and effectively this approach works, especially when doctors can remove as much tumor as possible.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04959474Recruiting
Pre-surgery radiation study with or without calorie restriction
This trial looks at whether a planned calorie-reduction diet before surgery can change how early breast cancer responds to a short course of radiation. It may help people understand if diet could improve outcomes alongside standard pre-surgery treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT05013216RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine trial for people at high risk of pancreatic cancer
This early-phase trial studies a long-peptide vaccine designed for people with certain genetic changes that raise the risk of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to help your immune system recognize and respond to cancer-related changes before cancer develops.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40 years+ - NCT05288777RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing follow-up chemo and radiation for high-risk breast cancer
This trial studies a standard follow-up treatment plan that combines chemotherapy and radiation after surgery, and it looks for blood/tissue “biomarkers” that predict who benefits most. If you have high-risk breast cancer that didn’t fully disappear after initial (neoadjuvant) chemo, you may be eligible to help guide better future treatment choices.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05351424Recruiting
Spanish-language cancer care support for breast or prostate radiation
