This trial tests a dietary supplement to help heal damage inside the rectum caused by pelvic radiation therapy. If you have mild to moderate rectal bleeding but no signs of cancer recurrence, you may be able to join.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06438809RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell injection for chronic radiation proctitis
This study tests whether a single injection of special cells (umbilical cord stem cells) can help heal long-term inflammation in the rectum caused by previous pelvic radiation. It's for people whose standard treatments have not worked.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–79 - NCT05134246Recruiting
Stent or procedure for narrowed carotid artery after neck radiation
This trial studies a carotid artery procedure (revascularization) to treat a major narrowing in the neck artery that happened after you had radiation for head or neck cancer. It may help prevent stroke risk by improving blood flow to the brain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04615013RecruitingPhase 1
NBTXR3 with chemoradiation for esophageal cancer treatment
This early-phase study tests adding NBTXR3 (a special treatment given into the tumor) to standard chemotherapy and radiation for esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if it can improve cancer control and to learn about safety and dosing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07248228RecruitingPhase 2
Memory-sparing vs standard whole brain radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares two types of whole brain radiation for people with many brain tumors. One method tries to protect parts of the brain important for memory, while the other does not. It aims to see which approach helps maintain thinking and memory better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07579195RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Consolidation therapy after EV + pembro in bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy or bladder-removal surgery (consolidation) after EV + pembrolizumab helps control muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has spread. It is for people whose cancer responded to the initial drug combination.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07061977RecruitingPhase 3
New cancer drug combo for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests if giving the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab before and after standard chemoradiation works better than the standard approach for people with high-risk cervical cancer that has spread locally.
