BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06116786RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental drug JNJ-86974680 for advanced lung cancer
This study tests an experimental drug called JNJ-86974680 for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It looks at how well the drug works, whether you have a gene change or not, and what treatments you've already had.
Newnan, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06127654RecruitingPhase 3
Ventilation imaging to improve quality of life in lung cancer radiotherapy
This trial tests whether using a special lung ventilation scan can help doctors design radiation therapy that reduces side effects and improves quality of life for people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer.
Liverpool, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06129747RecruitingPhase 2
Repeat Lumpectomy and Daily Partial Breast Radiation for Cancer Return
This trial studies a second breast-conserving surgery followed by daily radiation to just the tumor area for people whose breast cancer has returned in the same breast. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective, potentially avoiding a mastectomy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT06135714RecruitingPhase 3
Targeting limited breast cancer spread with focused therapy
This trial tests whether treating just the few spots where breast cancer has spread (called oligometastases) with radiation or surgery can help control the disease. It is for people whose cancer has spread to 3 or fewer places, each small in size, and who are healthy enough for local treatments.
Tokyo, TokyoAges 18–80 - NCT06139107RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation and abemaciclib plus letrozole before breast cancer surgery
This trial combines a short course of radiation before surgery with two oral medications (abemaciclib and letrozole) to treat early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Belleville, New JerseyAges 60 years+ - NCT06141031RecruitingPhase 1
TTI-101 plus radiation for borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug (TTI-101) combined with targeted radiation (SBRT) for people with pancreatic cancer that is not removable by surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors that are borderline resectable or locally advanced.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06141070RecruitingPhase 3
Adding high-dose radiation to standard treatment for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a high, focused dose of radiation to the usual first treatment (chemo and/or immunotherapy) can help people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to a limited number of spots (up to 5). The goal is to see if this approach improves how well the treatment works.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06142760Recruiting
MRI-guided chemoradiation for cervical cancer
This trial uses MRI scans during chemoradiation to improve treatment accuracy for cervical cancer. It may help patients who need standard chemoradiation plus brachytherapy.
HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT06144346Recruiting
Radiation for limited breast cancer spread
This trial tests whether treating each spot of cancer that has spread (but only a few spots) with focused radiation can help control breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach can stop the cancer from growing further without needing strong whole-body treatments right away.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT06156800Recruiting
Radiation before biopsy in advanced cancer
This trial tests whether it is safe and effective to start radiation therapy before getting a tissue biopsy for patients with advanced or metastatic cancer that needs urgent treatment. It aims to avoid delays in care while still allowing for a biopsy later.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06159335RecruitingPhase 3
PET/MR scan for brain metastasis imaging
This trial uses a special PET/MR scan with a radioactive tracer to help tell the difference between tumor regrowth and changes from radiation treatment in people with brain metastases. It may help doctors make better treatment decisions.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06159660Recruiting
Lung Imaging to Reduce Radiation Side Effects
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer by using a special imaging technique (functional lung imaging) to see which parts of your lungs work best. The goal is to reduce damage to healthy lung tissue while still targeting the cancer.
St Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06160206RecruitingPhase 2
Study of retifanlimab, bevacizumab, and radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (retifanlimab), a targeted drug (bevacizumab), and low-dose radiation for people whose glioblastoma has come back. The goal is to see if this treatment can help shrink or slow the tumor.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06165653Recruiting
Guided meditation during radiation for brain tumors
This trial tests whether guided meditation can help people with brain tumors feel better during radiation therapy. You'll be randomly assigned to either meditation sessions or standard care, and researchers will see how it affects your well-being.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06165419RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose radiation for spine metastases from solid tumors
This trial tests a new way of giving high-dose radiation to solid tumors that have spread to the spine. It is for people whose spine is stable, have not had prior treatment to that area, and have only minor weakness (if any).
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06170021Recruiting
Radiation ear problems in throat cancer patients
This study looks at how often radiation therapy for throat cancer causes middle ear infections or fluid buildup. It aims to understand and track these ear problems in patients getting a precise type of radiation called IMRT.
