Comparing chemo schedules for intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma
This trial compares two different chemotherapy schedules for children and young adults with intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma (a type of muscle cancer). One group gets a higher dose of chemotherapy over a shorter period, while the other gets a lower dose plus maintenance therapy for a longer time. The goal is to see which approach works better.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 50 years - 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 - NCT03126916RecruitingPhase 3
Testing added therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding either a targeted drug (lorlatinib) or a radioactive treatment (131I-MIBG) to intensive chemotherapy improves outcomes for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help by aiming at tumor cells more directly alongside standard treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 months–30 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 - NCT06368817RecruitingPhase 2
Lower radiation dose for children with CNS germinoma
This trial will see if giving a lower dose of radiation therapy can still effectively treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called germinoma. The goal is to reduce side effects while keeping the cancer under control.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 3–29 - NCT06186479RecruitingPhase 3
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.
MannheimAges 18–100 - NCT02402244Recruiting
Caring registry study for children and young people with cancer
This study keeps a careful record of children, teens, and young adults with cancer (and some related growths) and may follow them over time. It helps researchers better track outcomes and future contact so care can improve.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 25 years - NCT07776704Recruiting
Nutrition based on metabolic needs for cancer patients
This study tests whether measuring your metabolism can help doctors choose the right amount of nutrition through an IV (parenteral nutrition). This might help cancer patients get the energy they need without getting too much or too little.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07777887Recruiting
Finding lymph nodes during testicular cancer surgery
This trial tests a way for surgeons to find the first lymph nodes that testicular cancer might spread to, using a special camera and a dye. It could help doctors decide if you need extra treatment after surgery to remove the testicle.
Saint Petersburg, Sankt-PeterburgAges 18–60 - NCT07067138Recruiting
