Haploidentical stem cell transplant with two post-transplant medicines
This trial tests a way to treat certain blood cancers using a stem cell transplant from a partially matched (haploidentical) donor. It aims to make the transplant safer and reduce the chance of the immune reaction that can follow transplant, using post-transplant cyclophosphamide and bortezomib.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT03858205Recruiting
Low-dose radiation to relieve pain from bone tumors
This trial studies whether low-dose radiation can reduce pain from a specific bone lesion caused by multiple myeloma. It may help people whose main problem is painful bone metastasis, with targeted treatment to the painful spot.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03873064Recruiting
Study of BMI and quality of life in adults with solid tumors
This study looks at whether body weight (BMI) is linked to quality of life in people with solid cancers. It may help researchers understand what affects day-to-day well-being during cancer care.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT03896568RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of stem cell therapy for recurrent high-grade brain tumors
This Phase 1 study tests an advanced stem-cell treatment (hMSC-DNX2401) for recurrent high-grade glioma, including certain brain tumor types that come back. It aims to see if the treatment can be safely delivered and whether it can help control the tumor after standard therapies have already been tried.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03917043RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new targeted drug for ALK or ROS1 lung cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests APG-2449, a new drug, in people with advanced solid tumors—especially certain lung cancers that have ALK or ROS1 gene fusions. Because it’s an early safety-and-dose study, it may help learn how well the drug works and what doses are safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03968406RecruitingPhase 1
Talazoparib plus radiation for recurrent gynecologic cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether the cancer drug talazoparib, combined with radiation, can better control recurrent gynecologic cancers in the pelvis/abdomen. It focuses on patients whose cancer has come back locally enough that radiation can be given, while other disease is not rapidly worsening.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03967834Recruiting
Study of immune features in rare soft tissue sarcoma
This study looks at immune system “fingerprints” using tumor tissue from people with rare soft tissue sarcoma. It may help researchers understand what drives these cancers and guide future treatments.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT03972956Recruiting
Collecting samples during cancer or surgery visits
This trial looks at collecting (taking) medical samples from people who need surgery for colorectal cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer, or a non-cancer condition. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve how treatment is planned.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT03975322Recruiting
Predict which oral white patches may turn cancerous
This study looks at oral leukoplakia (persistent white patches in the mouth) to better predict which ones may develop into cancer. It uses a test based on specific immune and cancer-related markers to help estimate each person’s risk.
ErlangenAges 18–80 - NCT04003038Recruiting
Negative pressure wound dressings after breast reconstruction in obesity
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04494945Recruiting
Help for people with inherited cancer risk genes
This study helps identify people who may have an inherited cancer risk and checks how best to support them. Depending on the group, you may only fill out surveys, or you may also create an app account and possibly provide a DNA sample.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT04030507Recruiting
Brain MRI screening during chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial checks the brain using MRI in people with breast cancer that has spread outside the breast or can’t be fully removed. The goal is to screen for brain involvement and see how MRI findings fit with treatment timing, when it’s safe to do so.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04033302RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Multi-CAR T cell therapy for CD7-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (multi-CAR T cells) designed to target and kill cancer cells that have a marker called CD7. It may help people with certain blood cancers that have not responded well to other treatments.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 6 months–75 years - NCT04038619RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant for immune-therapy diarrhea or bowel inflammation
This early-phase study tests whether stool/fecal microbiota transplant (a fecal transplant) can help people who develop significant diarrhea or colitis after immune-checkpoint therapy. It aims to reduce bowel inflammation and improve symptoms, while carefully checking for infections.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04055649RecruitingPhase 2
Test of ONC201 and weekly paclitaxel for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether ONC201 given with weekly paclitaxel can control platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help by shrinking tumors or slowing growth in people whose cancer has progressed after platinum chemotherapy.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04067167Recruiting
Exercise bands versus muscle stimulation for people with cancer
This trial compares two types of exercise—flexible resistance band training versus a type of muscle stimulation—to see which is safe and helpful during cancer treatment. It may help improve physical function while you’re receiving anti-cancer care.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT04068155Recruiting
Radiation device for certain skin cancers you can treat locally
This trial tests a radiation-emitting device placed near the tumor to treat certain malignant skin cancers that can be fully covered. It may help shrink or control the cancer at the skin site where the device is applied.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT04068649RecruitingPhase 2
Single high-dose radiation vs standard palliative radiation
