This trial tests if a targeted radiation therapy can help people with early-stage Parkinson's disease that affects only one side of the body. It aims to see if this treatment can slow down the disease and improve symptoms.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 45–70 - NCT07248228RecruitingPhase 2
Memory-sparing vs standard whole brain radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares two types of whole brain radiation for people with many brain tumors. One method tries to protect parts of the brain important for memory, while the other does not. It aims to see which approach helps maintain thinking and memory better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05568550RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without olaparib for high-risk prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a medicine called olaparib to radiation helps men with high-risk prostate cancer. You may receive radiation alone or radiation plus olaparib, and the study looks at whether the combination works better.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06493734Recruiting
SBRT after chemotherapy for inoperable bile duct cancer
This trial tests if a precise type of radiation (SBRT) can help people with inoperable bile duct cancer after they finish chemotherapy. It aims to control the tumor and improve outcomes.
Wilrijk, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06829173RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a new drug with radiation for aggressive brain tumors
This trial tests a new oral drug called XRD-0394 given together with radiation therapy for people with high-grade glioma, a type of aggressive brain tumor. The goal is to see if adding this drug makes radiation more effective.
New York, New YorkAges 18 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+ - NCT05679583RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery focused radiation for resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial studies giving highly targeted radiation before surgery for patients with operable pancreatic cancer. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer before an operation while keeping side effects manageable.
SeoulAges 20 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+ - NCT06870799Recruiting
Face mask vs. camera-guided radiation for head and neck cancer
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation for head and neck cancer: with a custom face mask or with a new camera-guided system (no mask). The goal is to see which approach works better and is more comfortable for patients.
