Personalized lower-dose radiation for HPV-related throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving a less intense (de-escalated) radiation plan can work for certain people with HPV-related oropharyngeal throat cancer. It uses HPV blood testing and scans to help guide treatment, aiming to keep cancer control while reducing treatment side effects.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05617716RecruitingPhase 2
Spine radiosurgery for painful cancer spread to the spine
This Phase 2 study tests a precise radiation treatment (spine SBRT, also called radiosurgery) to reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It focuses on people with stable spine structure and low pain at the start, to see how well the treatment works and stays safe.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05632913Recruiting
Radiation seeds trial for recurring lung cancer in the chest
This trial tests a treatment that places tiny radiation “seeds” inside/near the chest tumor to treat recurrent lung cancer. It may help people whose cancer has come back and can be safely reached by the radiation device.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT05657743Recruiting
Radiation seeds study for advanced pancreatic cancer safety
This trial tests a radiation treatment that places tiny radioactive seeds directly into the tumor to treat advanced pancreatic cancer. It mainly focuses on safety and whether the treatment can be delivered effectively, especially for people who may not be able to have more chemotherapy or surgery.
HolonAges 18 years+ - NCT05800574RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted neck radiation for p16-positive favorable throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a more precisely targeted radiation plan to the neck can work for people with p16-positive oropharynx cancer that is considered “favorable risk.” Doctors use special imaging to map where lymph nodes are likely involved, aiming to treat the right areas while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06392295RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA-Guided Radiation for Limited Prostate Cancer Return
This trial tests whether targeted radiation to the lymph nodes in the belly can help men whose prostate cancer has returned in just a few spots after prior radiation. You must have had a PSMA PET/CT scan showing the cancer is limited to pelvic or belly lymph nodes.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06559540RecruitingPhase 2
Compare short radiation courses for node-positive breast cancer
This study compares two shorter courses of radiation therapy for women with node-positive breast cancer. It aims to see if an ultra-short course is as safe and effective as the slightly longer short course.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06625034RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two radiation planning methods for prostate cancer
This trial tests two ways to plan radiation treatment for prostate cancer: one using a computer program (RapidPlan) and the other using human experts. The goal is to see if the computer-assisted method works as well or better.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06660407RecruitingPhase 2
Grid radiation for advanced lung cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests a special type of radiation called grid therapy for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has grown after immunotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy. It aims to see if this approach can help control tumors that are larger than 3 centimeters outside the brain.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06698458Recruiting
DaRT radiation plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation called DaRT (Alpha DaRT) combined with standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. The goal is to see if adding this radiation treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–120 - NCT06708754Recruiting
Light therapy for radiation side effects in head and neck cancer
This study tests if a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help reduce tissue stiffness and swelling caused by radiation for head and neck cancer. It may be an option if you finished radiation in the last 3 years and have moderate to severe scarring or swelling.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06755359Recruiting
Radioactive implant for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called DaRT, which places tiny radioactive devices directly into your pancreatic tumor. It is for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that has not spread, after they have already had standard chemotherapy.
BordeauxAges 18–120 - NCT06835803RecruitingPhase 2
Intensified radiation for older adults with glioblastoma
This trial tests whether a more focused, stronger dose of radiation can improve outcomes for people 65 and older with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It compares this approach to standard radiation to see if it's safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT06906887RecruitingPhase 2
Pulsed low-dose radiation vs standard chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This trial compares a new way of giving radiation (in short, pulsed low-dose bursts) to the standard method, both combined with chemotherapy, for people with esophageal cancer. It aims to see if the pulsed approach is safer and equally effective.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06958328RecruitingPhase 3
Testing higher dose radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests if a higher dose of radiation therapy can help people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer after they've had 4–6 months of chemotherapy. It aims to improve cancer control without significantly increasing side effects.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07029217RecruitingPhase 3
Lower radiation dose study for B-cell lymphomas
This study tests if a reduced dose of radiation therapy works well for certain types of B-cell lymphomas, specifically follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma. It aims to minimize side effects while still controlling the disease.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07122713Recruiting
