Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07219212RecruitingPhase 1
New drug with chemo and radiation for advanced head and neck cancer
This study tests if adding an investigational drug called JNJ-90301900 to standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy works better for people with certain advanced head and neck cancers (like mouth, throat, and voice box) that have not spread to other parts of the body.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–74 - NCT04068155Recruiting
Radiation device for certain skin cancers you can treat locally
This trial tests a radiation-emitting device placed near the tumor to treat certain malignant skin cancers that can be fully covered. It may help shrink or control the cancer at the skin site where the device is applied.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT05943210Recruiting
Molecular testing of rectal cancer after short-course radiation
This study looks at molecular (tumor biology) features of rectal cancer in people receiving standard short-course radiation. Your tissue and/or samples may be used to better understand the cancer and how it responds to treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT05724004Recruiting
Alectinib then targeted radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests giving alectinib first, then adding targeted radiation to remaining spots of cancer in people with ALK-rearranged advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to control the cancer after an initial response and help keep disease from progressing.
StockholmAges 20 years+ - NCT06624371RecruitingPhase 1
Atovaquone with radiation for children with brain tumors
This trial tests adding atovaquone to standard radiation therapy for children with aggressive brain tumors like high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain cancer) or medulloblastoma. The goal is to see if this drug, which targets energy production in cancer cells, can make radiation work better.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 2–25 - NCT06208826RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy maintenance after surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether continuing immunotherapy can help keep cancer from coming back in people with head and neck cancer who had a good response to chemo-immunotherapy before surgery. You would have already had surgery, and now the study tests a maintenance treatment to strengthen your immune system's fight against any remaining cancer cells.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06991101RecruitingPhase 2
Ruxolitinib with radiation and chemo for new glioblastoma
This trial tests adding ruxolitinib, a targeted drug, to the standard radiation and chemotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to see if this combination helps people live longer without their cancer growing.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07202247RecruitingPhase 2
Improving heart health in prostate cancer patients on hormone therapy
This study tests whether combining a time-restricted eating plan, a heart-healthy diet, and a weight-loss medication (GLP-1 receptor agonist) can help improve heart health and weight in men with prostate cancer who are receiving hormone therapy. It aims to reduce the risk of heart problems caused by hormone treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 30–79 - NCT05491512RecruitingPhase 2
