Treatment plan study for newly diagnosed one kidney tumor
This trial looks at what treatment recommendations work best for children with a nephroblastoma (Wilms tumor) that is in only one kidney and has not been treated yet. It may help doctors choose the best next steps for care while the child’s overall health supports treatment.
OuagadougouAges 6 months–18 years - NCT04425421Recruiting
Treatment plan for children with Burkitt lymphoma
This trial uses a recommended treatment approach for children who have Burkitt lymphoma, a specific type of blood cancer. It may help by guiding care when the full standard treatment schedule can’t be followed for every child.
OuagadougouAges Up to 18 years - NCT04425434Recruiting
Treatment plan study for children with retinoblastoma
This trial looks at care recommendations for children with retinoblastoma (a childhood eye cancer). It may help standardize the best treatment approach for different patterns of tumor spread.
OuagadougouAges Up to 18 years - NCT04477681Recruiting
Expanded access to cancer medicines for young people who need options
This trial helps children, teens, and young adults get an innovative cancer medicine when their disease has returned or hasn’t responded—and standard options are not available. It checks whether a “compassionate use” or off-label medicine plan can be carried out safely for the people who need it.
Villejuif, Val de MarneAges Up to 25 years - NCT04495790Recruiting
Cancer patient study to track health outcomes
This is an observational study that follows people with cancer to better understand outcomes over time. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and share information from your visits (in person or by video only if you meet their rules).
Seattle, WashingtonAges Any age - NCT04510766Recruiting
Test tumor genetic results to guide early trial treatments
This trial looks at your tumor’s genetic information from stored tissue to help match you to early-phase treatment options. It may help doctors find a therapy that fits your tumor, especially when standard options have limited benefit.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04527861Recruiting
Minimally invasive single-incision surgery for colon cancer
This trial compares a single-incision laparoscopic operation versus the usual laparoscopic operation for colorectal (colon or “high rectum”) cancer. It looks at cancer outcomes and may help determine which approach is safer and works better for the right patients.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–85 - NCT04535271RecruitingPhase 2
Trabectedin, gemcitabine, and dacarbazine for advanced leiomyosarcoma
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of three anti-cancer medicines to shrink or control leiomyosarcoma that cannot be fully removed by surgery or has spread. It may help people whose cancer has grown after prior treatment.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04535713RecruitingPhase 2
Testing chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for advanced sarcoma
This study tests a combination of chemo medicines (gemcitabine, doxorubicin, docetaxel) plus an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) for advanced sarcoma that can’t be removed with surgery. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth in people whose cancer has already been treated and is measurable on scans.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04540692RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemotherapy timing for certain HER2-negative breast cancers
This Phase 3 trial studies different ways of giving common chemotherapy drugs (anthracyclines and taxanes) for locally advanced breast cancer that is HER2-negative. It aims to see which order or “sequencing” may work better for people like you.
Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Espírito SantoAges 18 years+ - NCT04543799Recruiting
Sleep quality study in prostate and early breast cancer patients
This trial studies how sleep quality changes while people with prostate cancer or early breast cancer receive standard treatments. It may help doctors understand which treatment factors affect sleep and identify who might benefit from support for sleep problems.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04595929Recruiting
Tested aerosol chemotherapy inside the abdomen for stomach cancer
This trial looks at a way to give chemotherapy into the abdomen (through a small tube during laparoscopy) for certain stomach cancers. It aims to see whether this approach improves cancer control and surgical outcomes for people whose tumors can potentially be removed.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–65 - NCT04625023Recruiting
Study of breast cancer biology using mechanics in the body
This trial looks at how breast cancer works in the body, using new “mechanics” measurements to better guide treatment. It may be most helpful if you have (or may have) breast cancer and can take part in study visits and procedures.
Bergamo, BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT04679454Recruiting
One-dose pre-surgery radiation for early breast cancer
This study tests whether giving a single dose of radiation before breast surgery can be safe and effective for early-stage breast cancer. It may help by shrinking or treating the tumor right before the operation, depending on your case.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04681690Recruiting
Registry study for kidney-sparing surgery in adults
This study collects information in people who have a localized kidney tumor that can often be treated with kidney-sparing surgery. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care, mainly by building a better national database rather than testing a new drug.
Hof, BavariaAges 18–100 - NCT04684368RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment study for children and young adults with NGGCT brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a new treatment approach for certain brain tumors called NGGCT in children and young adults. It may help improve outcomes by targeting tumors in specific brain locations and using tumor marker tests to guide care.
