Reggio EmiliaAges 18–90 - NCT07217938RecruitingPhase 2
Testing statins for swallowing problems after radiation
This study tests whether a common cholesterol-lowering drug (pravastatin, a type of statin) can reduce swallowing problems caused by past radiation for head and neck cancer. If you have had radiation at least 2 years ago and still have trouble swallowing, this trial may help find a new way to ease those symptoms.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07219303Recruiting
Adaptive radiation therapy for intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation that adjusts to changes in your prostate during treatment. It aims to improve accuracy and reduce side effects for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07222735RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells and radiation for children with sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of targeted radiation and special immune cells (CAR T cells) for children and young adults whose bone or soft tissue sarcoma has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The CAR T cells are made from your own blood cells and are designed to attack a protein called B7-H3 found on the sarcoma cells.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 years - NCT07231588RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Probiotic for stomach side effects during pelvic radiation
This trial tests an oral probiotic (a mix of 5 good bacteria) to see if it can reduce stomach and bowel side effects from pelvic radiation. It may help people undergoing radiation for certain pelvic cancers.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07234981RecruitingPhase 2
Using PSMA-PET to guide less intense radiation for returning prostate cancer
This trial uses a special scan (PSMA-PET) to find where prostate cancer has returned after surgery. Then doctors give a lower dose of radiation only to that area, which may reduce side effects. It is for men whose PSA level is rising after prostate removal.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 30 years+ - NCT07242859Recruiting
Rice bran for mouth sores from radiation in head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether a rice bran supplement can help prevent or reduce mouth sores caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you're getting radiation with or without chemo, this simple addition might ease side effects.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07278557RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided radiation to reduce dry mouth from head and neck cancer treatment
This trial tests if using an MRI to map saliva glands before radiation can help spare them, reducing dry mouth. It is for people with oropharynx cancer who will receive radiation with or without chemotherapy.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07298642RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Proton therapy for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a type of advanced radiation called proton therapy that targets a larger area of the pelvis and abdomen for cervical cancer. It may be an option if your cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes and you haven't had radiation before.
TaipeiAges 20–85 - NCT07339644Recruiting
Lung-Sparing Radiation Guided by Breathing Scans
This study tests a new way to plan radiation for lung tumors. It uses a breathing-guided scan to map healthy and unhealthy parts of the lungs, so radiation can avoid working lung tissue. The goal is to see if this approach spares more healthy lung while still treating the cancer.
ChongqingAges 18–85 - NCT04643366RecruitingPhase 2
Total treatment with chemotherapy and short radiation before surgery
This trial tests whether combining chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) and a short course of radiation before surgery improves outcomes for people with resectable rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink and control the cancer early and then remove it with curative surgery.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04804644RecruitingPhase 3
Memory-sparing radiation for brain metastases in small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether focusing high-dose radiation only on brain tumor spots, while avoiding the hippocampus (a brain area important for memory), helps protect memory and thinking compared with standard whole-brain radiation. It’s for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07478848RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation, Vancomycin, and CAR-T for B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests whether giving radiation and an oral antibiotic (vancomycin) before CAR-T therapy helps treat B-cell lymphoma more effectively. It is for people who are already scheduled to receive CAR-T treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07318402Recruiting
Radiation exposure for doctors during robotic lung biopsy
This study measures how much radiation doctors are exposed to while performing a robotic-assisted lung biopsy. It is for doctors who do these procedures and want to help improve safety.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07353671RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cockroach extract liquid for radiation skin damage
This trial tests a liquid made from cockroach extract (Meilian Fuxin) to prevent or treat skin damage from radiation therapy in people with head and neck cancer. It aims to see if this topical treatment can reduce radiation dermatitis compared to standard care.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07368647Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen for radiation cystitis symptoms
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can improve symptoms and reduce inflammation in people with bladder damage from past pelvic radiation. It compares patients with radiation cystitis to those without it.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT01492972RecruitingPhase 3
Lighter radiation, with or without hormone suppression
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving a smaller amount of radiation (“hypo-fractionated” means fewer, larger sessions) can work as well as standard approaches for intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It also compares adding hormone therapy (“androgen suppression”) to radiation versus using radiation alone.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02598349RecruitingPhase 2
Proton radiation for pancreas cancer that can’t be removed
This trial tests proton radiation for people with pancreas cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery (or who choose not to have surgery). It may help shrink or control the cancer using a treatment that aims to better target the tumor while limiting dose to nearby organs.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT02344121Recruiting
Study changes after radiation therapy
This study looks at how radiation treatment effects and measurements can change within a treatment session and across different sessions. It may help doctors improve how radiation therapy is planned and delivered.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Any age - NCT02701153Recruiting
Short pre-surgery radiation for soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a short course of radiation before surgery to shrink a soft-tissue sarcoma and make it easier to remove. It may help by improving how well the tumor can be removed, while studying safety and effectiveness for this cancer type.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02824731Recruiting
Proton vs photon radiation for certain brain tumors
This study compares two types of radiation—protons and photons (X-rays)—for specific brain tumors or tumor returns. It aims to see which approach works best and is safest for you, based on how much and where the radiation is delivered.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT03286335Recruiting
Proton radiation for slow-growing or benign brain tumors
This trial studies proton radiation therapy for adults with certain benign or slow-growing brain tumors. It aims to see how well tumors can be controlled, and how treatment affects quality of life and side effects.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03161522RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo alone versus with radiation or surgery for limited spread
This study tests whether adding radiation or surgery to chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people whose esophageal or stomach cancer has spread to only a few places. If your cancer is “oligometastatic” (up to 3 spots), the trial helps doctors see which approach gives the best control.
Houston, TexasAges 18–79 - NCT03253536Recruiting
Quality of life study after precise liver radiation
This study follows people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) to see how their quality of life changes after a focused form of radiation called stereotactic ablative radiation therapy. It does not appear to test a new drug—rather, it measures patient-reported well-being after treatment.
