London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03920033Recruiting
Radiation schedule for prostate cancer PSA relapse after surgery
This trial compares two different radiation schedules to treat prostate cancer that returned based on rising PSA blood tests after prostatectomy (prostate removal). If you qualify, it may help you and your team choose a radiation approach with the goal of controlling PSA relapse.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT04822077Recruiting
Proton beam treatment for thymus tumors
This trial studies proton radiotherapy (a type of radiation) for cancers of the thymus, like thymoma or thymic carcinoma. It may help improve tumor control while limiting radiation exposure to nearby organs.
Umeå, NorrlandAges 18 years+ - NCT04669873Recruiting
Partial breast radiation vs whole breast radiation after lumpectomy
This trial studies whether treating only part of the breast with radiation works as well as treating the whole breast in people with early breast cancer after lumpectomy. It may help reduce radiation exposure to healthy tissue, while still controlling the cancer.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 50–90 - NCT04878666Recruiting
Breast cancer chest-wall recurrence quality of life with heat treatment
This trial studies how a special heating radiation treatment (“hyperthermia radiotherapy”) affects quality of life in people whose breast cancer has come back in the chest area. It may help show whether this treatment approach is tolerable and beneficial for everyday well-being.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT03353467Recruiting
Surgery through the nose for early nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive surgery done through the nose can help people newly diagnosed with early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer. It looks for patients who have not had prior cancer treatment and who are healthy enough for the procedure and follow-up.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05032768Recruiting
Study links between skin bacteria and radiation skin reactions
This study looks at how changes in the skin’s normal bacteria (microbiome) relate to getting redness, irritation, or rash after breast radiation. It may help doctors predict who is more likely to have skin side effects after reconstruction and radiation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04060706Recruiting
Testing new computer tools for radiation treatment planning
This study tests how well new computer methods (called algorithms and machine learning) can support radiation therapy decisions. You might benefit by helping improve how radiation is planned and checked, especially for cancers treated with curative-intent therapy.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - NCT04997837RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant chemo with or without PD-1 for stomach cancer after surgery
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding an immune medicine called PD-1 (given as an “inhibitor”) to standard chemotherapy and chemoradiation after stomach/GEJ cancer surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back. You may qualify if you’ve had surgery removing the tumor and lymph nodes showed higher-risk disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04996732Recruiting
Long-term follow-up study for people treated for cancer
This study looks at how people who have finished treatment for cancer are doing over the long term. It uses information from a cancer center registry to understand survivorship and outcomes after surgery and/or other treatments.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT05055635RecruitingPhase 2
Proton radiation for anal cancer that came back after prior treatment
This trial studies a focused type of proton radiation (“pencil beam”) to treat anal cancer that has returned after you previously had radiation. It may help by aiming treatment more precisely and giving another chance at cure when doctors think it can still be treated.
Aarhus N, AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT04109755RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus radiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy medicine) together with short-course radiation before surgery helps people with localized rectal cancer. It is mainly for tumors that are microsatellite stable (MSS).
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT05062005RecruitingPhase 3
Tests two ways of treating locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This phase 3 trial compares a standard treatment plan (CRT) versus a new approach (ICCRT) for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer, without spread to distant organs. It aims to see which plan works better and is safe for tumors in the head and neck area.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT03158090Recruiting
Study of treatment patterns for acromegaly over time
This study follows people with acromegaly to better understand how treatments are used in real life and how well they work over time. It may help improve future treatment choices by comparing outcomes across different care patterns.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT02354274Recruiting
New radiation approach for locally advanced lung cancer
This study tests a new way of giving radiation for people with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), along with a chemotherapy medicine (navelbine). It may help by improving how well the treatment controls the cancer in the chest while watching for side effects.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT04437329RecruitingPhase 3
Nedaplatin vs cisplatin for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy drugs—nedaplatin versus cisplatin—in people newly diagnosed with a specific type of nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see which drug works better and/or has a safer side-effect profile when given as part of standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT04595019Recruiting
Shorter faster radiation with hormone treatment for prostate cancer
This trial studies a more sped-up radiation schedule for men with certain local prostate cancers, given together with hormone therapy. It aims to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and making care easier.
Sutton, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT05300269RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug SHR-1701 with chemo and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding SHR-1701 to standard chemotherapy and long-course radiation can improve treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery. It’s mainly for people who have not had prior rectal cancer treatment and who fit several health and cancer-spread requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04698252RecruitingPhase 2
Local treatment for ER/PR-positive limited spread breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether treating a small number of metastatic spots with a local approach (like targeted radiation, surgery, or ablation) can help people with ER/PR-positive breast cancer. It aims to help when the cancer has spread only to a few areas and has not significantly worsened after initial whole-body treatment.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05491395Recruiting
Radiation after mastectomy with breast implant reconstruction
This trial studies a radiation schedule given after breast cancer surgery when your breast was rebuilt right away with a prosthesis (implant or similar). It aims to see whether this “hypofractionated” (fewer, larger treatment sessions) radiation approach is appropriate for patients who need additional (adjuvant) radiation to reduce recurrence risk.
Barretos, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05507411RecruitingPhase 2
Watch-and-wait after chemo-radiation plus immunotherapy for esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (camrelizumab) to standard chemo-radiation can help some people with operable esophagus cancer avoid immediate surgery, using a “watch and wait” approach. If it works, it may reduce the need for early surgery for carefully selected patients.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05514275RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus endostatin and capecitabine for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding endostatin and capecitabine to standard radiation can improve outcomes for people with non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal cancer that has not responded well to chemotherapy. It may help those with stable or worsening disease after treatment before moving to radiation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT05563012RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation plus chemo and PD-1 immunotherapy for stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving a short course of radiation before surgery, along with chemotherapy and a PD-1 immunotherapy drug, can improve treatment outcomes for locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help shrink the tumor before surgery and strengthen the immune system’s attack on cancer.
