AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06106802RecruitingPhase 2
Testing lazertinib and tepotinib for EGFR lung cancer that progressed on lazertinib
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, lazertinib and tepotinib, for people with advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors show MET overactivity (high MET levels or MET gene copies) and have grown despite prior treatment with lazertinib. It aims to see if adding tepotinib can overcome that resistance.
Seoul, Gangnam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT05913674RecruitingPhase 2
Feasibility of modified chemotherapy after bowel surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether a modified chemotherapy given inside the abdomen soon after surgery is practical and safe. It may help people with appendix or colon cancer that has spread within the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis) by targeting cancer cells after tumor removal.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05799144RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus investigational HPV drugs for throat cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) combined with investigational treatment(s) pBI-11 and TA-HPV for advanced or recurrent oropharyngeal cancer that is HPV-positive and has certain immune marker levels (PD-L1 CPS ≥ 1). It may help your immune system better attack cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05508464Recruiting
Test targeted radiation to control many metastases safely
This study tests whether a focused, high-precision type of radiation can control many cancer spread-out spots (“metastases”) at the same time, while keeping side effects acceptable. It may help people with many metastases live longer or have better disease control by aiming treatment at every treatable spot.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05208047RecruitingPhase 3
CGT9486 plus sunitinib for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called CGT9486 to sunitinib (a standard cancer drug) works better than sunitinib alone for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that have grown or spread. You may qualify if your GIST stopped responding to or caused problems with imatinib, an earlier treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05245136Recruiting
Blood test study for advanced cancer monitoring
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tumor DNA in patients with advanced cancer. It aims to see if this test can help doctors monitor the cancer and make better treatment decisions.
Augsburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT05248581Recruiting
Living donor liver transplant for unresectable colon cancer spread
This trial looks at using a living donor liver transplant for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver in a way that can’t be removed with standard surgery. It may help if you might otherwise have limited options because your liver surgery would be too risky.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05100342Recruiting
Testing a points score to predict 30-day survival
This study checks whether a prediction “points score” can estimate the chance of being alive 30 days after a person is referred for comfort-focused radiation therapy. It may help doctors choose the most helpful next steps and better plan follow-up care.
Avon, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05047094Recruiting
DaRT radiation plus pembrolizumab for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether a targeted internal radiation treatment (DaRT) combined with pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) can shrink recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer that cannot be fully removed with surgery. It may help by making cancer more visible to the immune system while delivering localized radiation to a tumor area.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT04983199Recruiting
Tablet and app program during palliative radiation for cancer pain
This study checks whether a mobile app and wearable sensor can help collect patient-reported outcomes during palliative radiation for cancer pain. It may help researchers better understand symptoms and pain control from the patient’s perspective.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04842266Recruiting
Light treatment to stabilize pelvic fractures and reduce pain
This trial studies a device called IlluminOss that uses light to help stabilize pelvic fractures and treat pain. It is for people whose pelvic fracture is caused by cancer-related bone damage or frailty, and who already have the IlluminOss pelvic implant planned as part of standard care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT04621435RecruitingPhase 1
PET imaging test for solid tumors using FAP-2286
This Phase 1 study tests a special imaging scan (using FAP-2286) to see solid tumors in people who have already been diagnosed. It may help doctors better detect where cancer is in the body and how to plan treatment.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03978078Recruiting
Database study for metastatic GI cancer care
This study collects clinical and lab information to better understand metastatic cancers of the digestive system and how patients respond to treatment. It may help improve future care, but it is mainly focused on collecting data rather than testing a new drug.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT07370597Recruiting
Using scans to predict PSMA therapy response in prostate cancer
This study is testing whether a special scan (dosimetry) can help predict how well PSMA radioligand therapy works for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread. The therapy uses a radioactive drug to target and kill cancer cells that have a protein called PSMA.
BrusselsAges Any age - NCT06925984Recruiting
Targeted radiation for breast cancer that has spread and is growing a little
This trial tests whether giving focused, high-dose radiation to spots where the cancer is growing can help control the disease while you stay on your current hormone therapy and/or CDK4/6 inhibitor. It is for people with ER+/HER2- breast cancer that has spread to a few places and is slowly starting to progress.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05646862RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two treatments for advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation
This trial tests whether a new drug combo (inavolisib plus fulvestrant) works better than an existing one (alpelisib plus fulvestrant) for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer that has a PIK3CA mutation. It aims to find a treatment that may help control the cancer longer.
Greenbrae, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05573893Recruiting
Real-world study of trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2 breast cancer
This study looks at how people feel (patient-reported outcomes) and their real-world health data while they receive trastuzumab deruxtecan for advanced HER2-positive, HER2-low, or HER2-ultralow breast cancer. It helps researchers understand what outcomes happen outside of tightly controlled clinical trials.
AmbergAges 18–130 - NCT05053555Recruiting
High-dose radiation treatment for hard-to-remove liver tumors
This study uses a form of targeted radiation placed inside/near the liver to treat liver tumors that can’t be surgically removed. It’s meant to shrink or control tumors, especially when they sit near blood vessels or other sensitive organs.
Houston, TexasAges 19 years+ - NCT02819882Recruiting
Registry study for advanced or metastatic breast cancer
This study collects health and treatment information from people with breast cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery or that has spread to other parts of the body. It may help researchers better understand which treatments are used and how people do over time.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT03495427RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
PSMA PET scan to find early prostate cancer spread
