Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05600842Recruiting
Lower-dose radiation for HPV-positive throat cancer
This trial tests whether using a de-escalated (lower/intensity-reduced) radiation approach can treat HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. It may help reduce side effects while still keeping the cancer under control.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06543576RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Radiation and drug therapy for stage IVB cervical cancer
This trial tests combining external and internal radiation with chemotherapy and immunotherapy for stage IVB cervical cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06974123Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new oral drug for radiation proctitis
This trial tests an oral drug called Teslanbaicin for people who have pelvic cancer and developed radiation proctitis (inflammation of the rectum from radiation therapy). The goal is to see if it is safe and helps heal the inflammation.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06939582RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Hydroxychloroquine for radiation mouth sores
This trial tests if hydroxychloroquine tablets can prevent or reduce mouth sores caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you are about to start radiation for head and neck cancer and have not had radiation before, this study might help manage painful mouth sores.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06836960Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Gegen Qinlian Tang and Probiotics for radiation gut issues
This study tests if a traditional Chinese medicine formula (Gegen Qinlian Tang) plus probiotics can help people who have gut problems from radiation treatment for cancer. It may reduce diarrhea, pain, or other bowel symptoms caused by radiation.

This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy for a type of brain tumor called diffuse midline glioma. It aims to see if splitting the radiation into smaller courses can help while reducing side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 1 year+ - NCT06563479RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized vs. standard radiation for HPV-positive throat cancer
This trial compares a personalized, shorter course of radiation therapy to the standard longer course for people with HPV-positive throat cancer. The goal is to see if personalized treatment is just as effective while reducing side effects.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06004336RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy after radiation for limited spread kidney cancer
This trial tests whether giving a maintenance medication (pembrolizumab) after targeted radiation helps keep kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots (5 or fewer) from growing. You would receive radiation to each spot and then be randomly assigned to receive either the medication or a placebo (inactive substance) for up to about 2 years.
