PET scan study using a new tracer for solid tumors
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan using a new tracer (68Ga-FAPI) to help show tumors in the pancreas, bile ducts, stomach, or certain ovarian cancers. It may help doctors better see where cancer is in preparation for surgery or biopsy.
StockholmAges 19 years+ - NCT05192057RecruitingPhase 4
Inhaling salty steam for lung MAC infection
This trial studies whether inhaling hypertonic (very salty) saline helps treat nodular-bronchiectatic lung disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). It may help reduce ongoing infection and symptoms if you have the right type of MAC lung pattern and have not recently started the usual MAC treatments.
NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT05196334Recruiting
Testing pancreatic lab samples to guide future treatments
This study uses small pancreatic cancer samples grown in the lab to understand which treatments may work best for people with pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better “profile” tumors so standard care can be matched to the most effective options.
Herlev, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05201404RecruitingPhase 3
Namodenoson for advanced liver cancer with moderate cirrhosis
This Phase 3 trial studies whether namodenoson can slow or control advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) in people whose cirrhosis is in a specific middle range. It may help if standard treatments have not worked or the cancer has spread and is not expected to be cured.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05224934Recruiting
Radiation before surgery for retroperitoneal soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests giving a shorter, lower-dose radiation treatment before surgery for a retroperitoneal (deep belly/back space) soft-tissue sarcoma. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor and make surgery more effective and safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05241249RecruitingPhase 2
Bethanechol plus chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding bethanechol to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) can work better for people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. You may be considered if your cancer is not spread and you can safely take the medicines and follow study visits.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05248750Recruiting
Study of genes, tumor environment, and immune factors in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at tissue samples from people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to understand how genes, the tumor “neighborhood,” and the immune response may affect the cancer. Your participation may help researchers learn what drives the disease and how treatment might work better for you.
Rome, LazioAges 18–80 - NCT05281731Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided “sonobiopsy” for new brain tumor diagnosis
This trial tests a new way to take a tiny tissue sample from a suspected glioblastoma using ultrasound, to improve noninvasive detection. You may be able to get this targeted sample while you’re already planning surgery for tumor removal.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05281406RecruitingPhase 2
Extra chemotherapy if tumor DNA stays positive after osimertinib
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding chemotherapy can help people with EGFR-mutated lung cancer when their cancer-related blood test (liquid biopsy for EGFR DNA) is still positive after 3–4 weeks of starting osimertinib. It may help slow the cancer for longer by treating any remaining disease activity.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05287464Recruiting
Study for metastatic kidney cancer treatments combinations
This trial studies people with advanced (metastatic) kidney cancer who are starting a specific set of first-line treatment combinations (including drugs like nivolumab, pembrolizumab, or avelumab, paired with targeted medicines). It may help improve how these treatment plans work for different types of kidney cancer.
Province of Macerata, MacerataAges 18 years+ - NCT05293470Recruiting
Tracking the real-world effects of Piqray in Korea
This study monitors how well and how safely Piqray works for people in Korea in routine care. You may be invited if your breast cancer matches specific genetic and receptor test results and you are starting Piqray for the first time.
Cheonan Si, Chungcheongnam-doAges 18–100 - NCT05315700RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ORIC-114 for advanced lung or breast cancers with EGFR or HER2 changes
This early-phase study tests ORIC-114 to treat advanced solid tumors that have certain EGFR or HER2 genetic changes, often found in lung and breast cancers. It may help by targeting those specific cancer mutations, especially when standard treatments no longer work or aren’t tolerated.
