Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06954831RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation for early-stage breast cancer
This trial tests a shorter, more intense radiation schedule for people with stage I-III breast cancer after lumpectomy. It aims to find if giving a higher daily dose over fewer sessions is safe and effective.
Arcadia, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT06960707RecruitingPhase 3
One vs two weeks of breast radiation after lumpectomy
This trial compares a shorter, one-week course of radiation to the standard two-week course after a lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to see if one week is just as effective and safe, making treatment more convenient.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - 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.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT07000162RecruitingPhase 2
Lattice radiation therapy for large tumors
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy called lattice radiotherapy (LRT) for people with large tumors that cannot be cured with standard treatments. It aims to deliver high doses of radiation to the center of the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissue, potentially controlling the tumor and improving quality of life.
Reggio Emilia, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07008716RecruitingPhase 3
Omitting CTV for primary tumor in limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether treating the main tumor alone, without the nearby lymph nodes, can work as well in limited-stage small cell lung cancer after initial chemotherapy. You may qualify if you have not had disease progression after 2-4 cycles of standard chemo and meet other health criteria.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07018570RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation for stomach cancer before surgery
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (FLOT), an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab), and short-course radiation before surgery for gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
Kashiwa, ChibaAges 18 years+ - NCT07029178RecruitingPhase 2
Taurine for radiation mouth and skin sores
This trial tests if taurine can help reduce mouth sores and skin burns caused by radiation therapy for oral or throat cancer. You need to be starting a standard 30-session radiation course and have no other cancer treatments at the same time.
