MRI study of brain metastasis relapse after focused radiation
This study looks at MRI scan patterns to estimate the risk of brain metastases coming back after stereotactic radiosurgery (such as Gamma Knife or CyberKnife). It mainly helps by finding imaging clues that can guide follow-up after treatment.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05877872RecruitingPhase 3
Smaller surgery after chemotherapy for recurring nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether doing a smaller surgery (after chemotherapy works well) can control recurring nasopharyngeal cancer while reducing treatment burden. It is for people whose cancer can be removed by surgery and who respond to an initial course of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy (or another targeted regimen).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05884320RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan for advanced salivary gland cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests sacituzumab govitecan, an anti-cancer medicine, in people with recurrent or metastatic (coming back or spread) secretory gland cancers or related salivary gland cancers. It aims to see how well the treatment can shrink tumors and control disease when surgery or radiation is not a cure.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05890352RecruitingPhase 2
Add new medicines to standard treatment for returning lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding tafasitamab, lenalidomide, tazemetostat, and zanubrutinib (along with standard lymphoma treatment) can improve outcomes in people whose large B-cell lymphoma has returned or not responded. It may help control disease more effectively and improve response duration for eligible patients.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05892744RecruitingPhase 4
Testing brain scans to help choose depression treatment
This trial studies how brain signals measured by MRI and EEG may help doctors choose the best treatment for depression. It focuses on people with early-onset, long-lasting or recurring major depression, and tests whether these “brain biomarkers” track with treatment choice and response.
Austin, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT05894070Recruiting
Using your voice recordings to spot cancer coming back
This study looks at whether changes in your voice can help detect early return of laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. If you’ve finished curative treatment and are disease-free for a certain period, your voice will be monitored to see if it can signal recurrence sooner.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05901545RecruitingPhase 1
Test an iodine-labeled drug to map neck lymph nodes
This Phase 1 study tests a labelling of panitumumab with iodine (111In) to see how well it can identify lymph nodes in head and neck cancer before surgery. The goal is to improve lymph node staging (which can help guide treatment), with the main focus on safety and early performance.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT05907694Recruiting
Treatment of stroke from PFO, with or without closure
This study looks at whether treating a history of “cryptogenic” stroke (stroke with no clear cause) using a patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, plus medical therapy, is better than medical therapy alone. It focuses on people over 60 with a heart shunt seen on an ultrasound of the heart.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05910801RecruitingPhase 2
Tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and venetoclax for relapsed lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies tafasitamab together with lenalidomide and venetoclax in people with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink the lymphoma and improve disease control when standard options have not worked.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05911230Recruiting
MRI test to tell tumor return from temporary treatment effects
This study uses an advanced MRI scan to help doctors tell the difference between true tumor regrowth and “pseudoprogression,” which is a temporary treatment-related change that can look like progression. If it works, it may guide the safest next steps, including whether surgery is helpful.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT05913960Recruiting
Theta-burst brain stimulation for major depression
This study tests whether an “accelerated intermittent theta-burst” brain stimulation treatment can improve major depressive disorder by affecting brain signaling pathways. You may be a candidate if you have moderate-to-severe depression and can safely undergo brain MRI.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 12–45 - NCT05917145RecruitingPhase 1
Drug WSD0628 plus radiation for recurrent brain tumor
This Phase 1 trial tests a new cancer drug (WSD0628) given with radiation for people whose high-grade glioma has returned after prior treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment works in this situation.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05920863RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib, immunotherapy, plus liver artery treatment before surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving lenvatinib and immunotherapy along with TACE (a liver artery treatment) before surgery can lower the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma coming back after surgery. It targets people with certain higher-risk early-stage liver tumors (CNLC IB/IIA).
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05932212RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for vulvar cancer after prior treatment failure
This Phase 2 trial tests AK104 in people with recurrent or metastatic vulvar cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or strong radiation. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth, especially if you’ve already tried standard treatments or couldn’t tolerate them.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT05933733Recruiting
Salvage treatment for breast cancer that returned locally
This trial looks at how well “salvage” treatments work for breast cancer that has come back only in the local area (like the chest wall or nearby lymph nodes), without spreading to distant organs. It also tracks side effects to better understand the risks and benefits for patients who need additional treatment.
SeoulAges 18–100 - NCT05942833Recruiting
Quality of life study in left-sided diverticulitis
This study looks at how treatment affects quality of life in people with left-sided diverticulitis, including repeat episodes or complicated attacks. It may help doctors understand what improves day-to-day well-being and recovery for different diverticulitis situations.
Linz, AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05945875RecruitingPhase 1
