Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05563766RecruitingPhase 2
Itraconazole added for treatable esophageal cancer before surgery
This study tests whether adding itraconazole (an anti-fungal medicine) to standard chemo-radiation before surgery increases the chance of complete tumor response. It’s for people with esophageal (or GE junction) cancer that can be removed with curative surgery after treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04402788RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Radiation added to immune therapy for extensive small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to standard immune therapy (atezolizumab) after initial chemo can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better.

What taking part in a renal cell carcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
