ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06330545Recruiting
Radiation for Dupuytren's after non-surgical release
This study tests if a short course of radiation therapy can help prevent Dupuytren's contracture from coming back after a non-surgical release (like an injection). It may be an option for people whose finger is already bent and cannot touch the table.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 45 years+ - NCT03875716Recruiting
De-intensified radiation after surgery for HPV throat cancer
This trial studies a lower-intensity (less aggressive) course of radiation therapy after curative surgery for HPV-related tonsil or base-of-tongue cancer. The goal is to see if patients can still be treated successfully while reducing side effects from radiation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06992232RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation or surgery plus hormone therapy for prostate cancer that has spread
This trial tests whether giving intense hormone therapy along with either radiation or surgery can help men with prostate cancer that has spread to a limited number of spots (10 or fewer) but not to organs like the liver or lungs. The goal is to treat both the main tumor and the visible metastatic spots more aggressively.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06834126RecruitingPhase 1
Papaverine with radiation for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests if adding papaverine (a drug) to radiation therapy can help people with locally advanced rectal cancer avoid surgery and keep their rectum. It is for patients who have already had chemotherapy and want a non-surgical approach.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07447895Recruiting
early pelvic floor therapy for women having pelvic radiation
This study tests whether starting pelvic floor physical therapy early can help women with cervical cancer who are receiving radiation and chemotherapy. It aims to improve quality of life by addressing muscle-related side effects of treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06244004RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided radiation for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (FDG-PET) to find and treat only the spots where cancer has spread with targeted radiation can help men with prostate cancer that has spread but still responds to hormone therapy. It compares standard treatment alone to standard treatment plus this targeted radiation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07368647Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen for radiation cystitis symptoms
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can improve symptoms and reduce inflammation in people with bladder damage from past pelvic radiation. It compares patients with radiation cystitis to those without it.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT04947280RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Radiation split into small doses for breast cancer bone spread
This trial studies a type of focused radiation given in smaller parts to treat bone metastases from breast cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of pain or growth when standard treatments haven’t worked or surgery isn’t possible.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT04985032Recruiting
Radiation after lumpectomy for selected breast tumors
This trial tests a shorter, focused type of radiation (APBI using SBRT) after lumpectomy for certain early breast cancers. It may help by targeting only the part of the breast where the tumor was, rather than treating the whole breast, while keeping safety and cancer control in mind.
Stuart, FloridaAges 50–100 - NCT07297004RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for recurrent rectal cancer
This trial tests targeted radiation (SBRT) for people whose rectal cancer has come back in the pelvis and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this focused radiation can control the tumor with fewer side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04594187RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after immunotherapy for melanoma that spread to a sentinel node
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding radiation to the lymph node area can help people with melanoma that has a positive sentinel lymph node. It is meant for patients without spread to distant organs, who are already planning to receive post-surgery immunotherapy.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06472583RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests giving immunotherapy combined with a precise, high-dose radiation boost before surgery for HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes, especially for cancers that are more advanced or have spread to a few other spots in the body.
GliwiceAges 18 years+ - NCT07635238RecruitingPhase 2
Lower Dose Radiation for Prostate Cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of radiation can effectively treat prostate cancer while reducing side effects. It is for men with certain types of prostate cancer that are visible on an MRI.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05596630Recruiting
Stereotactic radiation for small liver cancer recurrence safety
This trial tests a precise type of radiation to treat small liver cancer that has come back after prior treatment. It aims to help with safety and long-term outcomes while protecting nearby organs and healthy liver.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05754580Recruiting
Boost radiation for intermediate or higher-risk prostate cancer
This study tests a stronger, focused radiation plan for intermediate to higher-risk prostate cancer. It combines a high-dose internal radiation “boost” with external radiation to try to improve cancer control while keeping side effects manageable.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT05764720Recruiting
Personalized targeted radiation for borderline pancreatic cancer
This study tests a personalized form of stereotactic radiation therapy (high-precision radiation planned to fit your tumor) after you’ve had some chemotherapy. It aims to treat pancreatic tumors while limiting exposure to nearby healthy organs.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04545957Recruiting
Radiation planning study using MRI for adults with cancer
This trial tests a “master protocol” approach to use MRI (a detailed body scan) to help plan radiation treatment for people with cancer. It may help doctors customize radiation more accurately, depending on your specific cancer type.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04525989Recruiting
Short-course proton vs photon radiation before rectal surgery
This study compares two types of pre-surgery radiation—protons versus standard photons—in people with high-risk rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink and control the tumor while safely getting you ready for surgery, and to see which approach works better.
Stockholm, SolnaAges 18 years+ - NCT02701153Recruiting
Short pre-surgery radiation for soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a short course of radiation before surgery to shrink a soft-tissue sarcoma and make it easier to remove. It may help by improving how well the tumor can be removed, while studying safety and effectiveness for this cancer type.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07000162RecruitingPhase 2
Lattice radiation therapy for large tumors
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy called lattice radiotherapy (LRT) for people with large tumors that cannot be cured with standard treatments. It aims to deliver high doses of radiation to the center of the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissue, potentially controlling the tumor and improving quality of life.
Reggio Emilia, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06691425Recruiting
Radiation for pancreatic cancer that can't be removed
This trial tests a very focused type of radiation (SBRT) for people with pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread to other organs but can't be removed with surgery. It may be an option if you are medically unable to have surgery or choose not to.
