Test abemaciclib plus letrozole with or without extra drugs
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding medicines to standard hormone therapy (letrozole) can control endometrial cancer that has come back, spread, or stopped responding to usual treatments. It also explores whether extra drugs (metformin or gedatolisib) improve results for certain patient groups.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03740893RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug to block DNA damage in triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a treatment given around the time of breast surgery to help shrink or control residual (remaining) triple-negative breast cancer. It also checks biomarkers (lab signals) to understand who benefits, with some people receiving anti–PD-L1 immunotherapy and some not.
Bournemouth, DorsetAges 18 years+ - NCT03769415Recruiting
Using tumor gene data to improve treatment in metastatic breast cancer
This trial studies your tumor’s gene activity and breast cancer subtype to help guide treatment choices. It mainly looks at whether analyzing “RNA expression” and tumor subtype can improve how therapy is optimized during metastatic breast cancer care.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT03815890RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery nivolumab for certain types of breast cancer
This trial tests whether giving nivolumab before surgery (neoadjuvant treatment) can improve outcomes for people with certain resectable breast cancers. It focuses on tumor types linked to immune activity (like triple-negative and specific lab markers).
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT03819101RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin plus atorvastatin for advanced, treatment-resistant prostate cancer
This trial studies whether daily aspirin and atorvastatin can slow advanced prostate cancer that has continued to grow despite hormone therapy. It may help by reducing cancer growth and inflammation, but you would need to meet several specific safety and medication rules.
OlomoucAges 18 years+ - NCT03844256RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bladder-sparing chemo-radiation plus immunotherapy for bladder cancer
This study tests whether adding immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab alone or nivolumab plus ipilimumab) to standard chemo-radiation can control muscle-invasive bladder cancer while helping people keep their bladder. It aims to find a safer, effective curative treatment for people who want to avoid bladder removal (cystectomy).
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT03863457RecruitingPhase 1
PET/CT scan test for breast cancer using a new tracer
This Phase 1 study tests a new PET/CT imaging tracer to see how well it can detect breast cancer spots in the body. It may help doctors learn where breast cancer is and how imaging could work better in the future.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07702708Recruiting
AI predicts chemotherapy response in HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial uses AI to analyze your pre-treatment MRI and predict how well your tumor will respond to chemotherapy before surgery. It is for people with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who need chemo before their operation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06205485RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy and surgery vs chemoradiation for rectal cancer
This trial compares two approaches for early-stage rectal cancer: chemotherapy plus local surgery versus standard chemoradiotherapy. It aims to see if less intensive treatment can work just as well, reducing side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07214987RecruitingPhase 2
PDT with immunotherapy and chemo for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) and two chemotherapy drugs (cisplatin and docetaxel) as a first treatment before surgery or radiation for advanced head and neck cancers. It may help shrink tumors that can't be easily treated with standard therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04918186RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for platinum-resistant ovarian, with tumor testing
This Phase 2 study tests an immunotherapy approach for women whose high-grade serous ovarian cancer came back within 6 months of platinum chemotherapy. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the disease, but you’ll need tumor biopsies and lab/heart/lung checks to join.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04103372Recruiting
MRI check for early rectal cancer or large polyps
This trial uses a special MRI before treatment to better understand early rectal cancer or suspicious large polyps. It may help doctors choose care that avoids bigger surgery when possible.
Reading, BerkshireAges 16–100 - NCT04333537RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sentinel node biopsy versus standard neck surgery for early mouth cancer
This trial compares two ways of checking whether early oral cavity squamous cell cancer has spread to neck lymph nodes. It tests whether sentinel lymph node biopsy can find spread as well as standard neck dissection, while potentially reducing more extensive surgery for some people.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04370496Recruiting
Testing minimally invasive endoscopic stapler surgery for early cervix cancer
This trial tests how safe a specific minimally invasive surgery tool (an endoscopic stapler) is for people with early-stage cervical cancer. If you qualify, you would get surgery to remove the cervix area using a minimally invasive approach and the study will track safety outcomes.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT04406831Recruiting
Testing microRNA for pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment response
This study looks at tiny molecules in your body (microRNA) to help doctors better diagnose pancreatic cancer, predict how it may progress, and understand how it responds to treatment. It may help guide more personalized care in the future.
Norwalk, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04444869RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose radiation with chemotherapy for low-risk HPV throat cancer
This trial tests whether a less intense (lower-dose) radiation plan, combined with chemotherapy, can control HPV-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancer with fewer side effects. It targets people considered “low-risk” based on tumor size and lymph node involvement.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04457895Recruiting
Yoga and physical therapy program for hormone therapy breast cancer pain
This trial studies whether a combined physical therapy, yoga, and patient education program can reduce pain in people with non-metastatic breast cancer who are taking hormone therapy. It may help with pain and day-to-day comfort while you continue hormone treatment.
Libourne, AquitaineAges 18–99 - NCT04469296Recruiting
Diet changes before surgery for hormone-receptor breast cancer
This trial tests whether changing your diet before your breast surgery can help people with early, hormone-receptor (ER/PR+) breast cancer. It focuses on patients who have not started treatment yet and want to keep surgery as the main treatment.
Montpellier, HeraultAges 18–80 - NCT04523857RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib and hydroxychloroquine after breast cancer relapse risk
This Phase 2 trial tests whether abemaciclib plus hydroxychloroquine can kill tiny “leftover” cancer cells in the bone marrow after standard breast cancer treatment. It may help lower the chance of cancer coming back by targeting minimal residual disease.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04690439Recruiting
Light therapy to treat breast cancer–related arm swelling
This trial studies whether a noninvasive light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce breast cancer–related lymphedema, which is swelling in the arm or chest area due to lymph fluid buildup. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to follow a set treatment and follow-up schedule to see if symptoms improve safely.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04692675Recruiting
MRI study to track prostate cancer in active surveillance patients
This study uses special prostate MRI scans to see how prostate cancer changes over time while you stay on active surveillance. It also looks at prostate tissue to understand your cancer’s genetics, which may help guide future decisions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04892303RecruitingPhase 1
Planning treatment using radiation plus radioactive iodine for thyroid cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how doctors plan a combination of two radiation approaches—external beam radiation and radioactive iodine—for thyroid cancer that is not fully responding to standard treatment. It may help people who still have iodine-avid tumor spots, but whose iodine uptake looks too low to work well with radioactive iodine alone.
