DijonAges 18–75 - NCT04035642Recruiting
Single high-dose MRI-guided radiation for intermediate prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a single, image-guided radiation treatment can treat intermediate-risk prostate cancer while better protecting the urethra (the urine tube). It may help patients get effective cancer control with potentially fewer urinary side effects, depending on the results.
LisbonAges 18 years+ - NCT04048278RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Lidocaine IV infusion for pancreatic cancer treatment
This early-phase study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV infusion can help treat pancreatic cancer. It will enroll people with confirmed pancreatic cancer that can be measured on scans, including some cases discovered to have spread during surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03937453Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer screening for people with new or worsening diabetes
This study checks whether regular imaging can find pancreatic cancer earlier in people who recently developed diabetes or whose diabetes is getting worse. It may help detect pancreatic problems sooner when treatment options are likely better.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 50 years+ - NCT03911388RecruitingPhase 1
HSV G207 for Children with Recurrent Cerebellar Brain Tumors
This trial is testing a virus called HSV G207, which is injected directly into the tumor, to treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor in the cerebellum that has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–22 - NCT03998202Recruiting
Study of chemotherapy side effects in older colorectal cancer patients
This study looks at how chemotherapy and immunotherapy affect the body in older adults with colorectal cancer, especially early side effects. It may help researchers understand why some people lose strength and how to better predict and manage treatment toxicity.
Millville, DelawareAges 60 years+ - NCT03841617RecruitingPhase 2
Measure radiation in thyroid cancer using a special PET-CT scan
This trial tests how much radiation a specialized whole-body PET/CT scan delivers in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. It may help doctors better plan treatment for cancer that persists, returns, or has spread—especially when radioactive iodine (RAI) may or may not work.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT03847649RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab for cancer after stopping immune therapy due to side effects
This Phase 2 trial tests whether durvalumab (an immunotherapy) can still help treat advanced cancer after you had to stop an earlier immune checkpoint medicine because of immune-related side effects. If you’re already on a durvalumab-based study, Substudy B also looks at continuing durvalumab (with or without tremelimumab) when it’s safe for you.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT03802851Recruiting
Laser procedure before radiation for prostate cancer symptoms
This trial looks at whether doing a prostate “laser procedure” (called HoLEP) before starting radiation and hormone therapy can improve severe urinary symptoms and reduce urine retention problems. It is for people with prostate cancer who are planning radiation plus hormone treatment and who have significant bladder/urinary trouble.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03750227RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation before or after brain tumor surgery
This study compares giving focused, high-precision radiation before or after surgery for brain metastases. It aims to see which timing works best to control tumors and improve outcomes.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03719547Recruiting
Robot surgery for certain early cervical cancer cases
This trial studies whether robot-assisted surgery can be used safely and effectively for certain early-stage cervical cancers. It may help by using a precise surgical approach to remove the cancer while matching standard care for eligible patients.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT03583710RecruitingPhase 3
Mitotane after adrenal tumor surgery, with or without chemo
This study looks at whether giving mitotane after surgery (and possibly adding cisplatin/etoposide chemotherapy) helps prevent adrenal cancer from coming back. It is for people with stage I–III adrenal cortical cancer who have a high risk of relapse after their tumor was removed.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT03334708Recruiting
Blood test study for pancreatic cancer
This study looks at blood tests to find markers that may help detect and monitor pancreatic cancer. It compares people with pancreatic cancer to those with benign pancreatic conditions and healthy volunteers.
Middletown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT03514368Recruiting
Testing immune markers to track cancer treatment safety and benefit
This study collects blood and tumor samples to understand how well cancer immunotherapy works and what side effects may happen. It mainly helps researchers by checking “immune markers” before treatment starts, while you receive planned immune checkpoint therapy.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT03259867RecruitingPhase 2
TACE plus immune therapy for liver or stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination treatment using a targeted liver procedure plus an immune “checkpoint” medicine to slow cancer growth. It may help people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) or metastatic stomach cancer when standard treatments have not worked.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT03114462RecruitingPhase 1
Study of focused radiation for laryngeal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a precise type of radiation treatment for people with certain stages of laryngeal (voice box) squamous cell cancer. The goal is to see how safe the treatment is and how well it may work in shrinking or controlling the cancer while aiming to preserve the larynx.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03245411Recruiting
Helps cancer patients take oral medicines as prescribed
This study tests a set of practical support steps to help people with advanced cancer take their oral (by mouth) treatment medicines correctly. It may help improve adherence and reduce missed doses or appointments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03026140RecruitingPhase 2
Tested immune therapy before surgery for early colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests immune “checkpoint” medicines (and combinations) given before colon surgery to see if they can better control early colon cancer. It is aimed at people with non-metastatic colon cancer and certain tumor markers.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT02997709Recruiting
Collecting prostate cancer body marker samples during treatment
This study collects and measures “biomarkers” (measurable signs in the body) from people with prostate cancer who are about to have surgery or radiation. The goal is to understand how prostate cancer behaves during treatment, which may help improve care in the future.
