Oncology Patients clinical trials

Single patient cancer treatment study

This study creates a unique treatment plan based on the genetic changes found in your tumor. A team of experts will review your cancer's molecular profile to decide the best next therapy for you, even if standard options are not clear.

Cancer patient support needs survey

This trial uses a short questionnaire to find out what kind of help and support cancer patients need, so care can be improved.

Intermittent fasting and plant-based eating during chemotherapy

This pilot study tests whether alternating periods of lower calorie intake, along with a plant-based diet, is safe and feasible for people receiving chemotherapy. If it helps, it could support better comfort and treatment tolerance during cancer therapy.

Low-protein meals during immunotherapy for cancer patients

This trial tests whether eating low-protein meals helps people with metastatic cancer feel better or tolerate immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors). It’s mainly a pilot/feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the diet is safe and doable during treatment.

Personalized radiation therapy for early breast cancer

Long-term monitoring app for childhood cancer survivors

This trial tests whether a special software (LOG-AFTER) helps people who had cancer before age 25 keep up with long-term screenings. It aims to make follow-up care easier and more consistent.

Can skin sensor predict blood pressure drop during spinal anesthesia?

This study tests whether a simple skin sensor can predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for older adults having urologic cancer surgery. If it works, doctors could take steps to prevent dizziness or fainting.

Virtual reality for better quality of life during chemo

This trial tests if using virtual reality during chemotherapy sessions can improve your quality of life. It's for people who are about to start their first round of IV chemo and have sessions lasting more than 30 minutes.

Testing Aconite Pain Oil for Chemotherapy Nerve Damage

This trial tests a pain oil made from aconite (a plant extract) to see if it can prevent or reduce nerve damage and pain caused by chemotherapy. It is for people with solid tumors who are starting treatment with taxane or platinum drugs.

Indirect Calorimetry-Guided Parenteral Nutrition Prescribing in Oncology Patients

Predicting blood clots in cancer patients at risk

This trial studies how your blood's ability to clot changes over time in people with certain cancers who have not yet started treatment. The goal is to better predict who might develop a dangerous blood clot, so that preventative steps can be taken.

Virtual reality to reduce anxiety before cancer surgery

This study tests if using virtual reality before surgery can help lower anxiety in cancer patients. You would participate while waiting for your operation at the hospital.

Adding IL-11 to G-CSF for faster blood cell recovery after transplant

This trial tests whether adding a second drug (IL-11) to the standard G-CSF can help your blood cells recover faster after a stem cell transplant using your own cells. It is for people with multiple myeloma or lymphoma who are about to have this transplant.

Wellness support for cancer caregivers in Istanbul

This study tests a psychoeducation program based on positive psychotherapy to help caregivers of cancer patients. It may improve your well-being and caregiving experience.

Taste training for people on targeted cancer pills

This study tests a taste-training program for people who notice changes in their sense of taste while taking targeted cancer pills (tyrosine kinase inhibitors). The goal is to help improve your eating experience and nutrition during treatment.

A tailored approach to help cancer patients quit smoking

This trial tests a personalized treatment plan to help people with cancer stop smoking. Researchers will see if matching you with the right medication (like the nicotine patch, lozenge, or varenicline) can improve your chances of quitting and living longer.

Cream for dry, itchy skin from cancer therapy

This study tests a moisturizing cream (with pre- and postbiotics and niacinamide) to see if it reduces dryness and itching in cancer patients who are on a type of targeted therapy called anti-EGFR drugs. If you have dry, itchy skin from your treatment, this cream might help soothe it.

Weighted blanket use to reduce anxiety in cancer patients

This trial tests whether using a weighted blanket can help lower anxiety in people who are about to start chemotherapy. Participants will use the blanket during treatment to see if it promotes calmness.

Sequencing children’s tumor and normal tissue samples

This study collects children’s normal and tumor tissue (or blood-related normal samples) and reads their DNA/RNA to look at genetic information. It may help researchers understand cancer-related changes and improve future testing, even when the goal isn’t to treat you directly.

Exercise program for children and young adults on new cancer treatment

This study tests an exercise program for young people newly diagnosed with cancer who are starting treatment like chemotherapy. It aims to see whether safely adding exercise can be part of care during the first treatment cycles.
