Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06307015Recruiting
Lowering radiation dose for HPV-related throat cancer using a special PET scan
This trial tests whether a special PET scan (FMISO PET) can help safely lower the radiation dose for patients with HPV-positive throat cancer. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
Saint Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT03830788Recruiting
Radiation options for early prostate cancer-related erections
This study compares two radiation treatments—seed brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy—to see which better preserves erections in men with early- to mid-risk prostate cancer. It’s designed to help patients understand how different curative radiation choices can affect sexual function.
AlbiAges 18 years+ - NCT05203250Recruiting
Registry for people treated with heavy particles at CNAO
This registry collects information from people who received heavy particle treatments at the CNAO center. It helps researchers understand outcomes over time, as long as you can understand the study and agree in writing.
PaviaAges Any age - NCT06714253RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Circular RNA treatment for dry mouth after radiation
This trial tests a new type of treatment called circular RNA to see if it can help people with long-term dry mouth after radiation for head and neck cancer. It's for patients whose dry mouth hasn't gone away with other treatments.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 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.
Edegem, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT03662373Recruiting
Monitoring system study for proton or carbon ion radiation
This trial checks whether a new monitoring system (called INSIDE) can safely work during proton or carbon ion radiation at CNAO. It may help improve how radiation is delivered and checked while treating certain head and skull cancers.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06682442Recruiting
Chemotherapy-guided radiation for EBV-related nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether the response to initial chemotherapy can guide the dose of radiation given to patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to tailor treatment to reduce side effects while still being effective.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06688422Recruiting
