Recruiting studies
- NCT05178472Recruiting
Spine radiation plus cement procedure for spine metastasis
This study looks at whether treating certain spine tumors with a cement procedure (vertebroplasty) plus focused radiation can control the cancer and improve quality of life. It is for adults with spine metastases that are not clearly defined and meet specific stability and imaging needs.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05169177Recruiting
Tracking liver tumor medicine on CT during radiation
This study checks whether a special “contrast” medicine used in liver cancer can be clearly seen on CT images while you receive radiation. The goal is to better track where the medicine is during treatment, which may improve how radiation is guided.
Waratah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05190172Recruiting
Proton versus photon radiation for IDH-mutated brain tumors
This trial compares two types of radiation—proton therapy versus photon (standard) therapy—for adults with an IDH-mutated grade 2 or 3 brain tumor. The goal is to see which approach works better and/or causes fewer side effects while treating the tumor.
OsloAges 18–65 - NCT05102747Recruiting
Surgery-like brain radiation for up to 5 metastases
This trial compares two ways of giving focused radiation to the brain for people with a limited number of brain metastases. It aims to see which schedule works best (and is likely best for costs and quality of life).
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05085496RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus atezolizumab for advanced skin cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies adding atezolizumab (an immune therapy) to radiation for people with hard-to-remove or borderline-resectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). The goal is to see whether this combination can better control the cancer and whether the treatment is safe.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05096715RecruitingPhase 1
Testing atezolizumab plus bevacizumab with SBRT for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests how well a combination treatment works for liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or other local treatments. It combines two immune/targeted medicines with a focused type of radiation (SBRT) to control the tumors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05013892RecruitingPhase 2
Whole-brain radiation with a targeted drug plan for brain mets
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment plan that combines whole-brain radiation therapy with an additional approach to help people with brain metastases. It aims to improve outcomes while also tracking brain function and memory over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05010031RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose radiation for metastatic cancer with an ATM mutation
This trial tests whether giving a lower dose of radiation can help control metastatic tumors that carry a specific genetic change in the ATM gene. It may reduce side effects by using less radiation, while still aiming to keep the tumor under control.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05011045Recruiting
Brain radiation study tracking thinking and memory changes
This study looks at how whole-brain radiation affects thinking, memory, and other brain function in people with blood cancers that involve the brain. It may help doctors understand what to expect and which supportive treatments or monitoring could be useful.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05045950RecruitingPhase 2
Whole brain radiation that aims to protect thinking skills
This Phase 2 trial tests a modified form of whole brain radiation to see if it can better protect thinking and memory in adults with brain metastases. You may join even if you’ve had other cancer treatments before, as long as your situation fits the study rules.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05030298RecruitingPhase 1
Pre-op focused radiation for aggressive brain tumor
This early-phase study tests a type of very targeted radiation given before surgery for people with a high-grade (aggressive) brain tumor. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and potentially improves treatment, while collecting tumor and blood samples for research.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05009992RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for diffuse midline gliomas in children and young adults
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination of medicines (including ONC201/related study drugs) can better treat diffuse midline gliomas, a type of brain/spinal cord tumor that often affects the midline. You may qualify if your tumor diagnosis is confirmed and your treatment timing (before radiation, after radiation, or at recurrence) matches one of the study groups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2–39 - NCT02986516Recruiting
Surgery or definitive radiation for primary sacral chordoma
This trial compares two standard treatment approaches—surgery versus definitive radiation—for people with a primary sacral chordoma (a bone tumor at the lower spine/pelvis area). It aims to find which approach works best for controlling the tumor while considering treatment side effects.
GrazAges 18–80 - NCT04994067Recruiting
Registering radiation given during breast-conserving surgery
This study records details about radiation delivered while your surgery is happening for certain early breast cancers or pre-cancers. It may help doctors better understand who benefits most from this “intra-operative” radiation approach.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04996914Recruiting
Radiation after chemo-embolization for liver cancer patients
This trial studies giving targeted radiation after a liver procedure called trans-arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help control the cancer in people who cannot have surgery or transplant.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–80 - NCT04983095Recruiting
Targeted radiation for a few prostate cancer metastases
This trial looks at whether a precise form of radiation (stereotactic body radiotherapy) can control a small number of prostate cancer spots seen on a special scan (PSMA PET/CT). It may help by treating limited metastases while avoiding unnecessary treatment elsewhere.
Lund, LundAges 18 years+ - NCT04959474Recruiting
Pre-surgery radiation study with or without calorie restriction
This trial looks at whether a planned calorie-reduction diet before surgery can change how early breast cancer responds to a short course of radiation. It may help people understand if diet could improve outcomes alongside standard pre-surgery treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT04945642Recruiting
Radiation combination therapy for intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies a combination of two radiation types—high-dose-rate brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy—to treat certain intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancers. It may help by aiming radiation closely at the prostate while also targeting the cancer from outside the body.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03215719RecruitingPhase 2
De-escalating treatment for HPV-positive throat cancer with low-risk signals
This Phase 2 trial tests whether people with HPV-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancer who look “lower risk” can safely receive less intensive treatment. It uses HPV blood test results and cancer staging scans to guide whether treatment can be de-escalated.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04892173RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation plus a tumor injection, with or without cetuximab
This trial studies whether adding a special drug given directly into a head-and-neck tumor during radiation can improve outcomes. It also looks at whether cetuximab (an antibody medicine) should be added for people who cannot or should not have certain standard chemotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 60 years+ - NCT04857528Recruiting
Testing HPV DNA in anal and cervical tumors
This trial checks whether tumor samples contain HPV DNA (genetic material from the HPV virus). The goal is to improve detection in anal and cervical cancers, especially in patients planning standard radiation treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04865315Recruiting
Donate tumor samples to build organoid tissue from glioma
This study collects tumor tissue during brain surgery to create lab-grown “organoids” (mini models of the tumor). It aims to build a tissue bank that researchers can use to better study gliomas and develop treatments.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04892303RecruitingPhase 1
Planning treatment using radiation plus radioactive iodine for thyroid cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how doctors plan a combination of two radiation approaches—external beam radiation and radioactive iodine—for thyroid cancer that is not fully responding to standard treatment. It may help people who still have iodine-avid tumor spots, but whose iodine uptake looks too low to work well with radioactive iodine alone.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT04888338Recruiting
Studying outcomes after CAR-T, radiation, or bispecific therapy
This study looks at how people with blood cancers do after they receive CAR-T therapy, radiation therapy, and/or bispecific therapy. It may help doctors understand which treatment combinations work best and what side effects to expect.
