Re-irradiation with or without hyperthermia, or surgery only for recurrent breast cancer
This trial compares three treatment options for breast cancer that has come back in the chest or lymph nodes after previous radiation. It looks at adding hyperthermia (heating the tumor area) to re-irradiation, versus just re-irradiation or surgery alone, to see which offers better quality of life and survival with fewer side effects.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT03199651Recruiting
Study for people with stage IV lung cancer
This study focuses on improving outcomes for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer by gathering health, treatment, and lifestyle information. It may help researchers understand what supports survival and care planning, especially for people who are current smokers or recent quitters.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03368651RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a pre-surgery infusion to improve liver cancer outcomes
This trial tests whether giving medicine directly into the liver blood vessels before surgery can improve survival for people with liver cancer that has a blockage (tumor in the portal vein). It compares this approach plus surgery versus surgery alone in a randomized study.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03612726Recruiting
Study for people with unresectable liver cancer
This trial looks at overall survival (how long people live) in real-world patients with unresectable liver cancer. It may help researchers understand outcomes outside of tightly controlled studies.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT03637569Recruiting
Skinfold fat measurement and survival in certain digestive cancers
This study looks at whether a simple measurement of fat under the skin (taken at the back of the upper arm) relates to how long people live. It includes adults newly diagnosed with pancreatic, bile duct, or gallbladder cancer who are starting treatment.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT03647098Recruiting
Lung cancer survival study for adults receiving study treatment
This trial is looking at how well a lung cancer treatment improves survival. It enrolls adults with confirmed lung cancer who can safely take the study medicines and have cancer that can be measured on scans.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT03795662Recruiting
Surviving Pneumonia
This trial studies treatment for pneumonia by enrolling people who have pneumonia signs on a chest X-ray plus typical symptoms like fever, cough, trouble breathing, or chest pain. It may help doctors test approaches for better outcomes after pneumonia.
HillerødAges 18 years+ - NCT03869619Recruiting
Real-life data study for adults with recent lymphoma
This study collects “real-world” health information about adults whose lymphoma was diagnosed within the last 6 months. It aims to better understand lymphoma types and how patients do over time, using data from everyday care rather than testing a new drug.
ArrasAges 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+ - NCT03981107Recruiting
Hands-only CPR vs standard CPR after witnessed cardiac arrest
This study compares two ways of doing CPR for adults who collapse outside the hospital and are not breathing normally: hands-only CPR versus standard CPR. The goal is to see which approach improves survival after witnessed cardiac arrest.
BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT07703735Enrolling by invitation
Survival after ABO-mismatch living donor liver transplant for liver cancer
This trial looks at how well patients with liver cancer do after receiving a living donor liver transplant that is not the same blood type. It compares survival and cancer return for these patients.
Ages 18 years+ - NCT04198792Recruiting
Finding outcomes after ECMO for heart-related emergencies
This study looks at what helps determine survival and better brain function after people are treated with ECMO, a heart-lung support machine. It may help doctors understand who is most likely to do well after this kind of emergency treatment.
GothenburgAges 16 years+ - NCT04209218Recruiting
Blood pressure and dexamethasone during lung cancer surgery
This study looks at how best to manage blood pressure during lung cancer surgery and whether giving dexamethasone (a steroid medicine) helps patients during the operation and recovery. You might benefit if you’re having longer lung cancer surgery and your heart and other organs are stable enough for the study.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–90 - NCT04280822RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo versus chemo alone before surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy before surgery works better than chemotherapy alone for resectable esophageal cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes after tumor shrinkage before the operation.
