This trial tests a combination of three drugs for advanced bladder cancer (including cancer of the renal pelvis or ureter) that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06678724Recruiting
Blood test study for head and neck cancer that has returned or spread
This trial is testing a new blood test (called a liquid biopsy) to better understand and predict the course of head and neck cancers that have come back or spread. If you join, researchers will use a special chip to look at your immune cells and tumor cells in your blood.
Zhubei, HsinChu CountyAges 20 years+ - NCT07660276Enrolling by invitation
AI predicts prostate cancer spread from biopsy
This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) system to look at prostate biopsy samples and predict if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. It may help doctors decide on the best treatment without needing extra surgery or scans.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–90 - NCT06690528RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery vs. palliative care for pancreatic cancer with limited liver spread
This trial compares surgery to remove the primary tumor and up to 3 liver spots against standard palliative care for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread only to the liver (up to 3 spots). It is for those whose cancer has not grown after initial chemotherapy and who are healthy enough for surgery.
Padova, ItalyAges 18–75 - NCT07493421Recruiting
Surgery and heated chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer with spread to the abdomen
