Negrar, VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT07540260Recruiting
Imaging-Guided Radiation Therapy for Advanced Kidney Cancer
This trial uses two types of PET scans to better target radiation therapy in patients with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has spread or returned. The goal is to combine radiation with standard drug treatments to improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07452458RecruitingPhase 3
Pulsed vs standard radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy (pulsed) compared to standard radiation for people with a specific type of glioblastoma (IDH wildtype, MGMT unmethylated). The goal is to see if the pulsed approach helps with thinking and memory while still treating the tumor.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07444775RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two radiation methods for pain from large tumors
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy — lattice and conventional — to find which is better at reducing pain from large tumors that cannot be surgically removed. You'll also receive standard pain management, and the study helps decide if the newer lattice technique is more effective with fewer side effects.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–99 - NCT07188532Recruiting
Personalized high-dose radiation for Ewing sarcoma
This trial tests a personalized radiation therapy that adjusts the dose based on your tumor. It aims to improve treatment for Ewing sarcoma while limiting side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 2 years+ - NCT07097142RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation for bladder cancer with chemo
This trial tests if a shorter course of radiation therapy works as well as the usual longer course for people with bladder cancer who are also receiving standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if shorter treatment can reduce side effects while still being effective.
Fort Smith, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06846450RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing radiation types for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy (IMRT or IMPT plus CIRT) to see which works better for patients with nasopharyngeal cancer that hasn't spread. It's for people who have not had radiation to the head or neck before.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06794125Recruiting
Higher radiation dose for chest tumors
This trial tests if giving a higher dose of radiation to tumors in the chest (lungs or nearby areas) can better control symptoms or prevent them from getting worse. It is for people who need palliative radiation—treatment aimed at easing discomfort or slowing tumor growth, not curing the cancer.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03662373Recruiting
Monitoring system study for proton or carbon ion radiation
This trial checks whether a new monitoring system (called INSIDE) can safely work during proton or carbon ion radiation at CNAO. It may help improve how radiation is delivered and checked while treating certain head and skull cancers.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06660407RecruitingPhase 2
Grid radiation for advanced lung cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests a special type of radiation called grid therapy for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has grown after immunotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy. It aims to see if this approach can help control tumors that are larger than 3 centimeters outside the brain.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06500481RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs standard radiation for cancer spread to brain/spine lining
This trial compares a newer type of radiation (proton therapy) to standard radiation for people whose breast or lung cancer has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It aims to see if proton therapy can better control the disease while causing fewer side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06378866RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with hormone therapy timing for prostate cancer
This study is testing whether using focused radiation beams (SBRT) right away or later, along with hormone therapy, can help control prostate cancer that has returned in a few spots outside the pelvis. The goal is to find the best timing for combining radiation and hormone treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06392295RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA-Guided Radiation for Limited Prostate Cancer Return
This trial tests whether targeted radiation to the lymph nodes in the belly can help men whose prostate cancer has returned in just a few spots after prior radiation. You must have had a PSMA PET/CT scan showing the cancer is limited to pelvic or belly lymph nodes.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 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 - NCT06327477RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A new type of radiation for newly diagnosed retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation called proton spatially fractionated radiotherapy (P-SFRT) combined with standard radiation for people with a type of sarcoma in the back of the belly. The goal is to see if this combination can treat the tumor more effectively.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05617716RecruitingPhase 2
Spine radiosurgery for painful cancer spread to the spine
This Phase 2 study tests a precise radiation treatment (spine SBRT, also called radiosurgery) to reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It focuses on people with stable spine structure and low pain at the start, to see how well the treatment works and stays safe.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06065449RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two radiation therapies for painful bone metastases
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to see whether a more targeted, high-dose approach (SBRT) works better than standard palliative radiation.
Houston, TexasAges 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+ - NCT05541016RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized lower-dose radiation for HPV-related throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving a less intense (de-escalated) radiation plan can work for certain people with HPV-related oropharyngeal throat cancer. It uses HPV blood testing and scans to help guide treatment, aiming to keep cancer control while reducing treatment side effects.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05038332RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two types of radiation after prostate surgery
