Recruiting studies
- NCT05491395Recruiting
Radiation after mastectomy with breast implant reconstruction
This trial studies a radiation schedule given after breast cancer surgery when your breast was rebuilt right away with a prosthesis (implant or similar). It aims to see whether this “hypofractionated” (fewer, larger treatment sessions) radiation approach is appropriate for patients who need additional (adjuvant) radiation to reduce recurrence risk.
Barretos, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05494060RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant chemo plus immunotherapy for ctDNA-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding an anti-cancer immune treatment and another targeted drug to standard chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of cancer coming back. It is for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows leftover cancer-related DNA after surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05528133RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized radiation based on tumor genetics in triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether using tumor “genetics” (information from your biopsy) to guide radiation planning can improve treatment for triple-negative breast cancer. It may help by aiming radiation more precisely while still using standard approaches where needed.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05547529RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo and radiation before surgery versus chemo alone for esophageal cancer
This trial studies whether adding radiation to chemotherapy before surgery works better for people with operable (resectable) squamous cell esophageal cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by comparing two different treatment plans before the operation.
MoscowAges 18–70 - NCT05553782RecruitingEarly Phase 1
IMD device study for certain head and neck cancers
This early-phase study tests a new small device (placed through the skin) plus standard surgery to study head and neck cancers. It may help researchers understand how the device works and gather safety information for people who need definitive surgery for a measurable tumor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05588453RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy and temozolomide for melanoma brain metastases
This early-phase study tests an immune cell treatment (natural killer cells) plus temozolomide to treat melanoma that has spread to the brain. It’s for people whose brain spots are getting worse and who are not good candidates for certain types of brain radiation.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05608252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combination for advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well a new treatment combination (VS-6766, abemaciclib, and fulvestrant) works for metastatic or hard-to-remove breast cancer that is hormone-driven (ER/PR positive) and HER2 negative. It is mainly designed to find the safest dose and then see whether it can control the cancer after it has progressed on certain prior medicines.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05617716RecruitingPhase 2
Spine radiosurgery for painful cancer spread to the spine
This Phase 2 study tests a precise radiation treatment (spine SBRT, also called radiosurgery) to reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It focuses on people with stable spine structure and low pain at the start, to see how well the treatment works and stays safe.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05656235RecruitingPhase 2
Study of keeping kidneys longer in upper tract bladder cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination treatment can control high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer without removing the kidney and ureter (radical nephroureterectomy). It may help people who must avoid surgery or choose not to have it because of medical risk.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05760612RecruitingPhase 3
After breast cancer surgery, test neratinib plus trastuzumab
This trial studies whether adding neratinib to standard trastuzumab treatment after neoadjuvant (before-surgery) therapy lowers the risk of breast cancer coming back. It is for people whose breast cancer is hormone-receptor positive and HER2 positive, with residual cancer found after neoadjuvant treatment.
GuangzhouAges 18–70 - NCT05774951RecruitingPhase 3
Camizestrant for hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer
This trial tests camizestrant, a medicine that blocks estrogen signaling, to help prevent hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer from coming back. You may be eligible if your cancer has higher- or intermediate-risk features and you already completed at least 2 years of hormone therapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–130 - NCT05789485RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise program to reduce treatment side effects in GI cancer
This trial studies whether a structured exercise plan can lessen side effects from chemotherapy in people with colorectal or stomach/esophagus solid tumors. If you’re about to start chemotherapy, the study will check whether exercising helps you feel and function better during treatment.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05797077RecruitingPhase 3
After-surgery blood test–guided therapy for colon cancer liver spread
This Phase 3 trial tests whether an added “maintenance” treatment after liver surgery can help prevent colorectal cancer from coming back. It is only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) still shows signs of cancer after their operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05800574RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted neck radiation for p16-positive favorable throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a more precisely targeted radiation plan to the neck can work for people with p16-positive oropharynx cancer that is considered “favorable risk.” Doctors use special imaging to map where lymph nodes are likely involved, aiming to treat the right areas while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05815082RecruitingPhase 3
ctDNA-guided chemo after liver surgery for colon cancer
This trial checks whether giving chemotherapy after surgery only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows no remaining cancer can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver who had the tumor fully removed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05867966Recruiting
Testing a hypnosis-based program for symptom clusters in cancer
This trial studies whether a hypnosis-based approach can help reduce a selected set of troubling symptoms in people who have finished treatment for certain early-stage (non-metastatic) cancers. It aims to understand which symptom patterns improve and how well the intervention works.
LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT05873192RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib plus enzalutamide before prostate surgery
This trial studies whether taking talazoparib and enzalutamide before surgery can shrink or control prostate cancer. If treatment works, it may make the cancer easier to remove with a radical prostatectomy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05894070Recruiting
Using your voice recordings to spot cancer coming back
This study looks at whether changes in your voice can help detect early return of laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. If you’ve finished curative treatment and are disease-free for a certain period, your voice will be monitored to see if it can signal recurrence sooner.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05916196RecruitingPhase 2
FES PET/CT scan for uterine cancer spread
This Phase 2 study tests how well a special PET/CT scan (called FES PET/CT) can find uterine cancer and its spread. It may help doctors see where cancer is active, which can guide future treatment decisions.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05918328RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two medicines before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares nab-PH plus pyrrolitinib versus TCbHP as treatment given before breast surgery. It aims to see which option works better and is safe for people with HER2-positive invasive breast cancer.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–65 - NCT05931419Recruiting
Radiation versus surgery for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial compares two standard treatment options—radiation or surgery—for people with high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see which approach works better for long-term cancer control and side effects.
AlkmaarAges 50–75 - NCT05937958Recruiting
MR-guided linac boost for gynecologic cancers when brachytherapy isn’t possible
This study tests a targeted radiation “boost” delivered using an MRI-guided machine for certain gynecologic cancers when the usual treatment (brachytherapy) can’t be done. It may help improve control of the cancer while still aiming for cure.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT05946213RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation works as well as the usual longer course for people with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and inconvenience.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05972343Recruiting
Cooling treatment to shrink breast tumors without surgery
This trial tests a cooling-based procedure (called cryoablation) to destroy a breast cancer tumor in people who cannot or do not want surgery. It may help shrink the visible tumor without needing an operating room.
