Recruiting studies
- NCT05906407Recruiting
Genetic-guided treatment planning for high-risk early breast cancer
This study uses tumor genetic testing to help plan more precise treatment for people with early high-risk breast cancer. You may be asked to give a recent tumor sample so researchers can match your cancer features with the best available options.
AugsburgAges 18–80 - NCT05916755Recruiting
Testing tumor clues that predict response to immunotherapy
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or tumor clues, that may help predict who benefits from checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer. It may help doctors choose the right treatment approach in the future, especially when chemotherapy is planned.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05921279Recruiting
Study heart events in people with breast cancer
This study looks at what heart-related side effects happen in women with breast cancer who are planned to receive chemotherapy. It may help doctors better understand and monitor these risks during treatment.
GalwayAges 18–90 - NCT05933733Recruiting
Salvage treatment for breast cancer that returned locally
This trial looks at how well “salvage” treatments work for breast cancer that has come back only in the local area (like the chest wall or nearby lymph nodes), without spreading to distant organs. It also tracks side effects to better understand the risks and benefits for patients who need additional treatment.
SeoulAges 18–100 - NCT05943210Recruiting
Molecular testing of rectal cancer after short-course radiation
This study looks at molecular (tumor biology) features of rectal cancer in people receiving standard short-course radiation. Your tissue and/or samples may be used to better understand the cancer and how it responds to treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT05945121Recruiting
Exercise and coaching program to protect heart in stem cell transplant
This trial tests a pre-transplant exercise and training program to improve heart “reserve,” or how well your heart handles stress, in people at higher heart risk. If you qualify, you may be asked to use a heart-rate tracking app during the program before your stem cell transplant.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05946213RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation works as well as the usual longer course for people with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and inconvenience.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05947149Recruiting
Quality-of-life study in head and neck cancer after hadrontherapy
This study asks people with certain head and neck cancers (or long-term survivors) about how hadrontherapy affected their quality of life. It may help doctors understand long-term wellbeing and care needs after treatment.
Pavia, PvAges 18 years+ - NCT05963464Recruiting
Marker-assisted breast surgery for hard-to-feel tumors
This study tests a small implantable “marker” system (used to help doctors find the tumor or lymph node during breast surgery) for people with breast or lymph node areas that can’t be felt. It may help surgery planning and accuracy when the cancer can’t be easily located by touch.
MilanAges 18–90 - NCT05967689RecruitingPhase 2
Zipalertinib for lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 mutations
This Phase 2 trial tests zipalertinib (a targeted pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR mutations, especially “exon 20 insertions.” It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, including in some people with brain metastases.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05974475Recruiting
Personalized modeling during targeted lung radiation for early cancer
This trial studies how detailed tests (“multi-omics” modeling) can improve how doctors plan and deliver stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It may help make treatment planning more precise for cancers in stages I–II.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05984576Recruiting
Chemo and radiation for recurrent rectal cancer after prior pelvic radiation
This study looks at combining total neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and radiation) for rectal cancer that has come back in the pelvis after earlier radiation. It aims to see if this treatment approach can help control the disease and improve outcomes in patients with limited spread that can potentially be removed or treated.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT05984875Recruiting
Immune system study for ovarian cancer
This study looks at how the immune system works in people with epithelial ovarian cancer. It aims to understand the immune landscape around the tumor, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06004011Recruiting
Cancer workforce roles for people living with HIV
This study looks at a program to help people living with HIV take on cancer-fighting roles (like caregiving or support workers). It follows volunteers for 3 years and checks how well the program works for them and their community.
LusakaAges 15–39 - NCT06019130RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) can help treat nasopharyngeal cancer in both children and adults. It is for people who have just been diagnosed and have not yet received any cancer treatment.
AachenAges 3 years+ - NCT06026410RecruitingPhase 1
KO-2806 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called KO-2806, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific gene changes (like HRAS or KRAS mutations). It may help if standard treatments have stopped working.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06028737RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs given before surgery for locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
VilniusAges 18–80 - NCT06033183Recruiting
Study of radiation sensitivity in children with cancer
This study looks at how children's bodies respond to radiation therapy for certain cancers. By analyzing blood samples, researchers hope to learn why some children experience more side effects, which could help personalize future treatments.
CaenAges 3–18 - NCT06036394Recruiting
AI for brain and spine radiation planning study
This study uses artificial intelligence to review radiation plans for patients with brain or spine tumors treated at Tata Memorial Centre between 2010 and 2022. It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned in the future.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 1 year+ - NCT06054295Recruiting
Twin study of childhood brain tumors
This study looks at genetic differences between identical twins where only one twin has a childhood brain or spinal cord tumor. It helps researchers understand why some children get cancer and others don't.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06059859Recruiting
Augmented reality during robot-assisted prostate removal
This study tests whether using augmented reality (a computer overlay) during robot-assisted surgery for prostate cancer can help the surgeon remove the cancer more precisely. It may be an option for people with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer who have good erectile function.
MilanAges 18–70 - NCT06060990Recruiting
Copper and trace elements in biliary tract cancer
This study looks at levels of copper and other minerals in the blood of people with biliary tract cancer (cancer of the bile ducts or gallbladder). If you have not had treatment yet, this trial may help doctors understand how these elements relate to your cancer.
LjubljanaAges 18–80 - NCT06071195Recruiting
