Zeaxanthin in metastatic cancer, alone or with pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 study tests whether zeaxanthin is safe and what dose to use in people with metastatic cancer. It also studies zeaxanthin together with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to see if the combination is tolerable after cancer has progressed despite PD-1/PD-L1 treatment.
Paramus, New JerseyAges 18–99 - NCT05237934Recruiting
Study collects tissue samples and tracks neuroendocrine tumors
This study looks at neuroendocrine tumors by collecting tissue (when available) and tracking how the disease behaves over time. It may help researchers better understand these cancers, including rare cases of adrenocortical cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05246475Recruiting
PET-MRI scan study for oxygen levels in head and neck tumors
This study uses a combined PET-MRI scan to measure how much oxygen a head and neck tumor has. It may help doctors understand tumor “oxygen levels,” which can relate to how tumors grow and respond to treatment.
Turku, G102881Ages 18–80 - NCT05266846RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus anti-angiogenesis and chemo for ALK lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pembrolizumab (an immune therapy), bevacizumab (a medicine that blocks blood-vessel growth), and chemotherapy in people with ALK-rearranged lung cancer that is still present after the first treatment with alectinib. It aims to shrink tumors and improve control of the cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05270213RecruitingPhase 1
RBS2418 for advanced cancers after standard treatments
This early-phase study tests RBS2418 in people with advanced, metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or help control disease, and to learn what doses are safest.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05274919Recruiting
Brain tumor MRI pattern study to map tumor genetics
This study uses special “pattern mapping” from brain MRI scans to see whether MRI images reflect a brain tumor’s genetic type. It may help doctors better match MRI findings to tumor characteristics using scans they may already need for diagnosis.
LeidenAges 18 years+ - NCT05278715RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment plan for optic pathway glioma in children
This Phase 2 trial tests a modified chemotherapy treatment plan for children and young people with optic pathway glioma, aiming to shrink tumor and improve eye/brain symptoms. You may be able to join if your diagnosis is confirmed and your body can safely handle treatment.
BeijingAges 3 months–21 years - NCT05280314RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before and after surgery for stage III melanoma or throat cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy medicines given before surgery and again after surgery to help control the cancer and improve outcomes. It studies people with resectable (operable) stage III melanoma or certain stage III/IVA throat cancers.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05283330RecruitingPhase 1
Tested 212Pb imaging drug for certain advanced GRPR tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe and tolerable an experimental radiation drug is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that show a target called GRPR. Doctors will also use special scans to confirm the tumor has the target so the treatment can be delivered to the right place.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05284539RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for mutated advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether combining platinum chemotherapy with immune “checkpoint” medicine works better for people with stage IV lung cancer that has EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 mutations. It focuses on tumors that have grown again after first-line treatment.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05287750Recruiting
Brain disease study using 7.0T brain MRI scans
This study looks at people with brain conditions using a very strong MRI scanner (7.0T). It may help doctors understand brain diseases better and improve how scans are used, but you must be able to safely have the MRI (and possibly contrast dye).
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05295212RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo before surgery for lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding atezolizumab (an immune medicine) to standard platinum-based chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for operable stage II–IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and increase the chance the cancer can be removed with better results.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05304858Recruiting
Study of prostate cancer spread using biopsy and lab tests
This trial studies the “microenvironment” around prostate cancer metastases, using specimens taken during biopsy and other scans. It may help researchers understand what drives prostate cancer spread and improve future treatment choices.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05306509Recruiting
Early palliative care talks for kids with cancer
This trial tests whether nurse-led conversations about comfort and support (palliative care) early in a child’s cancer journey can help families and the child cope better. It is focused on newly diagnosed or relapsed pediatric cancer patients in Chinese-speaking settings.
Shanghai, MinhangAges Up to 18 years - NCT05307289Recruiting
Melanoma trial studying why immunotherapy stops working
This study looks at how melanoma cells “use energy” (tumor metabolism) to understand why immunotherapy can become less effective over time. If you are starting immunotherapy for advanced skin melanoma, the results may help improve future treatments for resistance.
Nice, Alpes-maritimesAges 18 years+ - NCT05307939RecruitingPhase 2
Using tumor DNA tests to time treatment for HPV throat cancer
This study checks a blood test that looks for HPV tumor DNA to help doctors decide when to start routine treatment after surgery. It may help some people avoid starting treatment too early or too late based on how the test changes after the operation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05310448Recruiting
Using a scalp device plus temozolomide for brainstem gliomas
This study tests whether Tumor Treating Fields (a wearable electrical device placed on the scalp) combined with temozolomide can treat brainstem gliomas (tumors in key parts of the brainstem). It may help slow tumor growth and improve outcomes for adults who have already finished surgery/radiation or are otherwise ready for the next treatment step.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05313191Recruiting
Proton therapy for tumors after prior radiation
