Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT06178198RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and liver surgery for large liver tumors
This trial tests combining radiation therapy (radioembolization) with surgery to remove part of the liver for people with a single large liver tumor (over 8 cm) that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach can treat the tumor effectively.
Seoul, SeoulAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT06177106Recruiting
Study of skin markers in sun-damaged and protected skin
This trial looks at certain markers in the skin of people with sun damage. It tests how your skin reacts to a small amount of simulated sunlight, and may help understand skin cancer risk.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 40 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06139627Recruiting
Geriatric assessment for older adults with lung cancer getting chemotherapy and radiation
This trial tests whether a special geriatric assessment can help manage side effects for adults aged 60 and older with non-small cell lung cancer who are starting a new treatment plan that includes chemotherapy and radiation. It aims to improve quality of life and treatment outcomes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06141031RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation and study drug for hard-to-treat pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new medicine (TTI-101) combined with targeted radiation for people with pancreatic cancer that is either borderline or locally advanced. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer better than usual treatments.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06142760Recruiting
