Chemo and radiation for recurrent rectal cancer after prior pelvic radiation
This study looks at combining total neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and radiation) for rectal cancer that has come back in the pelvis after earlier radiation. It aims to see if this treatment approach can help control the disease and improve outcomes in patients with limited spread that can potentially be removed or treated.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06055517Recruiting
Re-irradiation with low-dose pulses for recurrent glioma
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy for people whose brain tumor (glioma) has come back after earlier treatment. Instead of standard radiation, it uses very low doses given in pulses, which may be safer for patients who have already had radiation to the head.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT04741737Recruiting
Repeat lymph node biopsy for recurrent breast cancer
This study tests whether repeating a specific lymph node biopsy (sentinel lymph node biopsy) is safe and useful in people whose breast cancer has come back in the same breast. It may help doctors better understand whether lymph nodes are involved and guide next steps after surgery.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06082180RecruitingPhase 3
Preventive neck lymph node removal in low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It compares two surgical approaches: one that removes just the thyroid gland, and another that also removes some lymph nodes in the center of the neck as a preventive measure. The goal is to see if removing these lymph nodes helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06087068RecruitingPhase 2
Thyroid hormone therapy after lobectomy for low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is testing whether thyroid hormone replacement after surgery is safe for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It may help maintain normal hormone levels after part of the thyroid is removed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1.5 years–70 years - NCT05260671RecruitingPhase 2
Penpulimab plus cetuximab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial studies penpulimab (an immune medicine) combined with cetuximab (an antibody drug) for recurrent or metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or radiation. It aims to shrink tumors and improve survival in people whose tumor shows a specific immune marker (PD-L1).
Changchun, JilinAges 18–80 - NCT05781217RecruitingPhase 3
Short vs longer hormone therapy after salvage prostate radiation
This trial compares two lengths of hormone treatment (androgen deprivation therapy) given around “salvage” radiation after prostate surgery for rising PSA. It aims to see which schedule works best to control prostate cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05461820RecruitingPhase 4
Testing treatment options for Graves’ disease and its relapse
This study compares different treatment plans to see how well they control Graves’ disease and whether it comes back. It may help by identifying which approach works best to prevent relapse.
NanjingAges 18–65 - NCT06167356Recruiting
Bladder cancer relapse and quality of life study after TURBT
This study tracks patients with early-stage bladder cancer after surgery (TURBT) to see how often the cancer returns and how it affects your daily life.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT05189054Recruiting
Radiation retreatment for very central chest tumors
This trial tests a focused form of radiation (SBRT) to treat tumors in the very center of the chest that have already been treated with radiation before. It aims to check safety and whether the tumor can be controlled without causing unacceptable side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05446545Recruiting
Blood and tissue tests to monitor ovarian cancer using tumor DNA
This study uses a custom lab test on blood (and tumor tissue) to track ovarian cancer returning and to see how well treatment is working. It may help your care team monitor changes over time, especially after certain surgeries.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06185569Recruiting
French study on outcomes in HR+/HER2- early breast cancer patients with Oncotype DX
This study looks at how well treatments work for people with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer when the Oncotype DX test helps guide therapy. It aims to understand real-world outcomes in French patients.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04716686RecruitingPhase 2
Niraparib alone to help prevent cancer coming back
This Phase 2 study tests niraparib by itself to keep endometrial serous cancer from returning or to control it after chemotherapy helps. It may help some people by targeting tumor DNA repair weaknesses, especially in cancers with certain gene changes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06229340RecruitingPhase 2
Two drug combinations for advanced cancer with RAS mutations
This trial tests two different treatment combinations (leflunomide alone or with MEK inhibitor and hydroxychloroquine) in people with advanced cancer that has a RAS mutation and has not responded to at least two prior therapies.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–85 - NCT05962892Recruiting
Study of thyroid cancer return risk after heat ablation
This study looks at what makes papillary thyroid cancer come back after a heat-based treatment called thermal ablation. It may help doctors better predict recurrence risk and guide follow-up after treatment.
