This study checks whether a special “contrast” medicine used in liver cancer can be clearly seen on CT images while you receive radiation. The goal is to better track where the medicine is during treatment, which may improve how radiation is guided.
Waratah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05178472Recruiting
Spine radiation plus cement procedure for spine metastasis
This study looks at whether treating certain spine tumors with a cement procedure (vertebroplasty) plus focused radiation can control the cancer and improve quality of life. It is for adults with spine metastases that are not clearly defined and meet specific stability and imaging needs.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05192876Recruiting
Review of outcomes and side effects during radiation treatment
This study collects information about results and side effects from people receiving radiation therapy at a specific hospital. It may help improve how radiation treatment is planned and monitored in the future.
Winterthur, Canton of ZurichAges 16–105 - NCT05207098Recruiting
Brain testing and questionnaires during head and neck radiation
This study checks how people’s thinking and brain functioning change while they are getting radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. It uses simple computer tests and questionnaires to better understand who may be at risk for trouble thinking during treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–89 - NCT05244239RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus lurbinectedin for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding palliative (comfort-focused) radiation to the medicine lurbinectedin can better control extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It may help reduce problems from tumors in places like bones and organs.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05253495RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted immunotherapy added to chemotherapy and radiation for lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding targeted immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy and radiation can improve outcomes in children with certain types of lymphoma. It may help the immune system work better against cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–39 - NCT05254327RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus or minus BMX-001 for advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests two different ways of giving radiation before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer, with or without an added study drug called BMX-001. It aims to see whether the shorter/longer radiation plans and BMX-001 improve cancer control and are safe.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT05268614RecruitingPhase 2
Risk-based reduced chemo and radiation for HPV throat cancer
This trial tests whether using a lower intensity (reduced) chemo-radiation plan can work for some people with HPV-related oropharyngeal (throat) cancer without losing effectiveness. It may help reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 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 - NCT05307939RecruitingPhase 2
Using tumor DNA tests to time treatment for HPV throat cancer
This study checks a blood test that looks for HPV tumor DNA to help doctors decide when to start routine treatment after surgery. It may help some people avoid starting treatment too early or too late based on how the test changes after the operation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05346848RecruitingPhase 2
Darolutamide plus radiation for intermediate-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding darolutamide to standard radiation can better control intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It includes men whose cancer has spread nowhere else and who are newly diagnosed with “unfavorable intermediate risk” or progress to that risk group.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT05388773RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery then lower-dose radiation for p16+ throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether removing the tumor through the mouth, followed by a reduced course of radiation, can control HPV-related (p16+) oropharynx throat cancer. It may help reduce treatment intensity after surgery, while still aiming to keep the cancer from coming back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05406063Recruiting
Focused radiation for bone metastases causing pain
This trial studies a precise type of radiation given in multiple small sessions to treat bone metastases that are causing pain. It may help shrink or control the spots in the bone while aiming to reduce side effects by targeting the area closely.
Winterthur, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05457595Recruiting
Re-irradiation for pelvic and groin cancer recurrences
This study tests giving radiation again to treat a cancer that has returned in the pelvic area (including the groin) when surgery isn’t a good option. It may help control the tumor while trying to protect nearby organs such as the small intestine.
Pavia, PvAges 18 years+ - NCT05500612Recruiting
MRI oxygen scan study for glioblastoma during radiation treatment
This study uses special MRI scans to measure oxygen levels in and around glioblastoma before and during radiation treatment. It may help researchers understand how oxygen affects treatment response and timing.
St Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05527470RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo then radiation for newly diagnosed advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests giving chemotherapy first, then either radiation alone or chemotherapy together with radiation. It aims to improve treatment control for people with newly diagnosed, advanced nasopharyngeal cancer.
Guilin, GuangxiAges 18–65 - NCT05565326Recruiting
Testing MR-guided radiation checks for glioblastoma
This study tests how best to measure and track glioblastoma treatment while using MRI (a body scanner) to guide radiation. It may help improve how doctors assess the radiation response during therapy.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05570422RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and early benefits of an injection plus radiation for cervical cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether KRC-01, given by injection into the tumor, is safe and tolerable when combined with standard chemoradiation for locally advanced cervical cancer. It also looks for early signs that the treatment can shrink tumors.
ChandigarhAges 18 years+ - NCT05582499RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant treatment study for certain breast cancers
