Recruiting studies
- NCT05504681Recruiting
Using brain test markers in a cancer clinic visit
This study adds special brain “biomarker” tests into routine visits for adults with brain tumors. It may help the clinic better track these cancers over time and tailor care.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05504291RecruitingPhase 2
Treatment delivered inside the eye for retinoblastoma
This Phase 2 study tests a way to deliver cancer treatment directly inside the eye to treat retinoblastoma. It may help shrink the tumor while limiting treatment to the eye when possible.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05460000RecruitingPhase 2
Niraparib after early ovarian cancer chemo—short vs long
This trial tests whether taking niraparib (a maintenance anti-cancer pill) for a shorter time after 3 cycles of platinum chemotherapy works as well as taking it after 6 cycles. It is for people with advanced ovarian cancer that has been fully removed (no visible tumor) and is “HRD-positive,” meaning it has certain DNA repair weaknesses.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT05500391RecruitingPhase 2
Testing whether remote nurse monitoring works like in-person checks
This Phase 2 study compares two ways of checking your cancer follow-up: a doctor or nurse visits in person versus remote monitoring by phone and imaging. The goal is to see whether remote monitoring can safely replace or match in-person care for certain low-risk cancers and after surgery.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05430971Recruiting
BPDCN international registry for patients to be followed over time
This trial is a patient registry for people with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). It helps researchers learn more about the disease by collecting information from patients as they get care.
Miami, FloridaAges Any age - NCT05443087Recruiting
Checking blood levels of targeted drugs for digestive cancers
This trial monitors how your prescribed targeted cancer medicine moves through your body by doing extra blood tests. The goal is to understand the drug’s levels and dosing in people with advanced digestive cancers, so treatment can be better managed.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05443321Enrolling by invitation
Health information sharing during hospital transfers
This trial studies whether sharing patients’ health information between hospitals during transfers can improve outcomes. You may be included if you are moved from a specific partner hospital to Brigham and Women’s Hospital and admitted to certain hospital units.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05417516RecruitingPhase 3
Partial breast radiation after lumpectomy in early breast cancer
This trial compares a shorter course of radiation focused on part of the breast versus a standard approach after lumpectomy. It aims to see if treating a smaller area can control the cancer while reducing treatment burden.
Darlinghurst, New South WalesAges 50–120 - NCT05382338RecruitingPhase 3
Sodium thiosulfate to protect hearing in medulloblastoma
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding sodium thiosulfate during treatment for newly diagnosed medulloblastoma can reduce the risk of hearing loss. It is designed for children and teens whose cancer meets specific low-risk or average-risk tumor and lab features.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 4–21 - NCT05384288Recruiting
How kids with blood cancers respond to the flu vaccine
This study looks at how children with blood cancers respond to the seasonal flu shot. It may help doctors understand what protection the vaccine provides for pediatric oncology patients.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 18 years - NCT05407480Recruiting
Treatment guidance study for children with Hodgkin lymphoma
This study is for children with “classical” Hodgkin lymphoma to help guide the best treatment plan. It may help your care team choose therapy based on what has worked for similar children.
Paris, FranceAges birth–18 years - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05396872Recruiting
Decision-making study about gene testing for advanced prostate cancer
This study looks at how Veterans with advanced prostate cancer make decisions about gene testing and possible targeted treatments, and how patients and caregivers understand the information. It may help by improving decision support for people facing germline and tumor testing choices.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05379153RecruitingPhase 3
Laser therapy for vaginal dryness in breast cancer survivors
This trial tests whether laser therapy can help women who have had breast cancer and now experience vaginal dryness. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce dryness and improve comfort.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 22 years+ - NCT05317858RecruitingPhase 3
Open the brain’s blood barrier to treat lung cancer brain spots
This trial tests whether using focused ultrasound to temporarily open the brain’s blood barrier—plus standard immune therapy—can better treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. It aims to help medicines reach the brain tumor spots more effectively, while still using the usual lung cancer treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 40–75 - NCT05317221Recruiting
Developing breast cancer tissue models for research
This trial builds lab “models” (called organoids) from breast cancer tissue to help researchers study different breast cancer types. You may be able to help by providing consent and meeting the study’s basic cancer and treatment history requirements.
MaastrichtAges 18 years+ - NCT05327894RecruitingPhase 3
Infants with a specific leukemia genetic change
This study tests a treatment plan for babies under 1 year with leukemia that has a KMT2A gene rearrangement. It may help by trying to improve outcomes in this high-risk group, sometimes using a drug called blinatumomab (depending on eligibility).
Buenos AiresAges 1 day–1 year - NCT05327686RecruitingPhase 2
Adding focused radiation to immunotherapy for kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding focused, high-precision radiation to immunotherapy helps people with advanced kidney cancer (that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread). It aims to improve cancer control by combining two treatment approaches.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05289687RecruitingPhase 2
Daratumumab for hard-to-clear T-cell leukemia traces
This Phase 2 trial tests daratumumab (a targeted antibody medicine) in people with T-cell ALL whose leukemia is not fully gone at very low levels. The goal is to eliminate “minimal residual disease” (MRD) that can predict relapse, so treatment may be more effective after intensive chemotherapy.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05304585RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo for children with early, low-risk fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma
This Phase 3 study tests a chemotherapy plan for children and teens with newly diagnosed, very low-risk or low-risk rhabdomyosarcoma that does not have certain gene fusions (FOXO1 fusion negative). The goal is to see if this treatment can work well while limiting side effects by matching therapy to early-stage risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05306509Recruiting
Early palliative care talks for kids with cancer
This trial tests whether nurse-led conversations about comfort and support (palliative care) early in a child’s cancer journey can help families and the child cope better. It is focused on newly diagnosed or relapsed pediatric cancer patients in Chinese-speaking settings.
Shanghai, MinhangAges Up to 18 years - NCT05270096Recruiting
Matches children and young people to leukemia treatment plans
