PSMA or FACBC PET scan guided treatment for prostate cancer recurrence
This Phase 2 study tests using a special PET/CT scan (PSMA or FACBC) to guide treatment for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery and radiation. The goal is to see whether this scan-based approach can better target cancer in the prostate area (and help plan the right treatment).
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06758830RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Total neoadjuvant therapy vs surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether a full course of chemotherapy and radiation before any surgery (called total neoadjuvant therapy) can help you avoid surgery and preserve your rectum. It is for people with a specific early stage of rectal cancer that has not spread.
VilniusAges 18 years+ - NCT05857631Recruiting
After-surgery radiation schedule for cervical or uterine cancers
This trial studies a shorter, focused radiation schedule given after surgery for certain higher-risk cervical or endometrial (uterine) cancers. It may help reduce cancer recurrence while checking side effects in the bladder and bowel area.
Navi Mumbai, MaharahstraAges 18–80 - NCT05190172Recruiting
Proton versus photon radiation for IDH-mutated brain tumors
This trial compares two types of radiation—proton therapy versus photon (standard) therapy—for adults with an IDH-mutated grade 2 or 3 brain tumor. The goal is to see which approach works better and/or causes fewer side effects while treating the tumor.
OsloAges 18–65 - NCT04774419RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus dostarlimab for post-surgery endometrial cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding dostarlimab (an immunotherapy medicine) to radiation after surgery can lower cancer returning and improve outcomes. It’s for people with certain endometrial cancers found to have specific genetic/molecular changes and who have stage III/IVA disease after surgery.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04832620Recruiting
Using MRI-guided planning to improve proton radiation for rare bone tumors
This trial is testing a better way to plan proton radiation using MRI images, aiming to deliver treatment more accurately for chordoma or chondrosarcoma in the spine/sacrum area. You may benefit if the trial’s planning method helps target the tumor while sparing nearby healthy tissue.
Delft, South HollandAges 50 years+ - NCT06998342RecruitingPhase 2
Mohs surgery plus short radiation for head and neck skin cancer
This trial studies a combination of Mohs surgery and a short course of radiation therapy for people with squamous cell skin cancer of the head and neck. The goal is to see if this approach is effective with fewer side effects.
