Recruiting studies
- NCT03594630RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Watchful waiting then chemotherapy before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether a period of active surveillance (watching closely) and chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with stage II–III rectal cancer. You would also receive standard chemo-radiation if you qualify, then proceed to surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04703101RecruitingPhase 1
Short radiation plus chemo for stage II–III rectal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy for people with stage II or III rectal cancer. It’s designed to see whether this approach is safe and effective before or around cancer surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05081024Recruiting
Blood test biomarker to help preserve organs in rectal cancer
This study looks at a blood test (ctDNA, a way to detect cancer DNA in the bloodstream) to help doctors choose treatment that may spare organs for people with stage II–III rectal cancer. You may be followed to see how well the blood test can guide treatment decisions.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06205316RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation therapy for returning or limited-spread prostate cancer
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy for prostate cancer that has come back or spread to a few places after surgery. The goal is to see which radiation schedule works better with fewer side effects.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06330805RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing heart effects of two hormone therapies for prostate cancer
This trial compares two hormone therapies, relugolix and leuprolide, to see which one is better for your heart health in men with prostate cancer. It's for men with a specific type of prostate cancer that is not yet advanced.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04945642Recruiting
Radiation combination therapy for intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies a combination of two radiation types—high-dose-rate brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy—to treat certain intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancers. It may help by aiming radiation closely at the prostate while also targeting the cancer from outside the body.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02107105Recruiting
Study how surgery affects life quality in rectal cancer
This trial studies how surgical treatment for rectal cancer affects patients’ quality of life and other day-to-day impacts. It may help doctors understand what to expect after surgery and how to better support patients.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07595874RecruitingPhase 2
New Immunotherapy Drugs Before Surgery for Advanced Colorectal Cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (botensilimab and balstilimab) given before surgery to treat advanced colorectal cancer that can be removed. The goal is to help the immune system fight cancer cells and improve outcomes after surgery.
