TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT03617133RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided radiation plus chemo for cervical cancer
This trial tests a more precise way to deliver radiation for locally advanced cervical cancer using MRI guidance during treatment, along with chemotherapy. It may help shrink tumors more effectively while aiming to reduce side effects by targeting the right areas.
ViennaAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT03649880RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a special PET scan for brain tumor activity
This trial studies whether a brain PET scan using a medicine called FMISO can help show how active certain brain tumors are. It mainly aims to see if the scan is practical and useful in planning care for people with suspected or known brain tumors.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03659448RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug that helps map colon and rectal cancer during surgery
This Phase 3 study tests SGM-101, a drug used during surgery to help doctors better outline primary, recurrent, and spread (metastatic) colorectal cancer. It may improve how completely tumors are identified and removed during an operation.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03713268Recruiting
Using a scan to guide eye surgery in real time
This trial tests whether a special eye scan (OCT) can help guide eye surgery during the operation. It may improve how surgeons see and target the exact eye structures they need to treat.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT03715933RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug INBRX-109 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests INBRX-109, a cancer-targeting drug, in people whose solid cancers are locally advanced or spread to other parts of the body. Because it’s Phase 1, the main goal is to see whether it’s safe and how well it can work for different tumor types that meet specific requirements.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 12–85 - NCT03750227RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation before or after brain tumor surgery
This study compares giving focused, high-precision radiation before or after surgery for brain metastases. It aims to see which timing works best to control tumors and improve outcomes.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03755739RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Checkpoint cancer drug given into or near tumors
This trial studies whether giving immunotherapy “checkpoint inhibitor” medicine directly into the tumor area (and/or the artery feeding it), along with a chemotherapy-style drug, can work better for advanced solid tumors. It aims to boost the immune system’s ability to attack cancer while still being safe for people with measurable tumors.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT03759717Recruiting
Study of skull base tumors using tumor tissue
This study aims to learn more about skull base tumors by examining tumor tissue from surgery. It may help doctors better understand these tumors and improve future care.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT03765333Recruiting
Registering people with thyroid cancer for a study
This study is a registry that collects information about adults with certain types of thyroid cancer. It may help researchers learn more about these cancers and how people are doing over time.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03767075RecruitingPhase 2
Basket trial matching cancer patients to targeted treatments
This trial tests whether matching your tumor’s DNA/RNA results to a specific cancer medicine can work better than standard options when cancer has spread or can’t be removed by surgery. You may be assigned to a “basket” (sub-study) based on the exact changes found in your tumor.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT03829254RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NUC-7738 treatment for advanced solid cancers and lymphoma
This early-phase study tests how safe NUC-7738 is and how it works in people with advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas. Some participants may also receive pembrolizumab for specific cancers, aiming to improve cancer control while carefully monitoring side effects.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT03830151RecruitingPhase 1
C-13 pyruvate MRI to help diagnose brain gliomas
This early-phase study tests a special MRI scan using C-13 pyruvate to help identify and understand gliomas (a type of brain tumor) in people with brain tumors going to surgery or biopsy. It may help doctors see tumor signals better before or around the time of your procedure.
Houston, TexasAges 19 years+ - NCT03861299Recruiting
Awake brain surgery versus sleep surgery for glioblastoma
This study compares two ways of doing brain surgery for glioblastoma: doing parts of the operation while you are awake, versus doing it fully under general anesthesia (sleep). It aims to see which approach is safer and better for protecting brain functions like speech and movement while removing the tumor.
GhentAges 18–90 - NCT03870620Recruiting
Register for metastatic breast cancer patients in Austria
This trial is a non-treatment registry that collects information about people with metastatic breast cancer in Austria. It may help researchers better understand the disease and outcomes over time by tracking real-world patient details.
Salzburg, State of SalzburgAges 18 years+ - NCT03899155RecruitingPhase 2
Study for continuing or restarting cancer treatment that worked before
This trial lets people who were already in a related “parent” study either keep taking treatment or restart it after it had stopped working for a while. It’s meant for people who previously had a meaningful response and may still benefit from continued treatment.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03917043RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new targeted drug for ALK or ROS1 lung cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests APG-2449, a new drug, in people with advanced solid tumors—especially certain lung cancers that have ALK or ROS1 gene fusions. Because it’s an early safety-and-dose study, it may help learn how well the drug works and what doses are safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03958240Recruiting
Study how cancers trigger the immune system
This study looks at what makes some cancers more “noticeable” to the immune system. It may help researchers design better future immunotherapy by collecting information (often including blood samples) from people with different cancers.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT03971045RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus low-dose oral chemo for chest wall breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus low-dose oral cyclophosphamide in people with chest wall breast cancer that has spread locally and may have distant metastases. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and control cancer longer, especially in tumors with certain immune markers.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT03976960Recruiting
Database study for colon cancer surgery patients
This study collects clinical and lab information from people who have surgery for colon cancer (or certain precancer growths) and related spread to organs. It may help researchers better understand colon cancer and improve future care, but it is not a new medication trial.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT03977233RecruitingPhase 2
Biopsies and FOLFIRINOX for non-metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at different types (subtypes) of pancreatic tumors in people treated with FOLFIRINOX, a chemotherapy. It requires tumor biopsies before and after treatment to see how the tumor changes, which may help doctors better match treatments in the future.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT03979170Recruiting
Test lung cancer drug response using patient tumor mini-organs
This trial grows “organoids” (mini tumor models) from your lung cancer tissue to see which drug responses are most likely. It may help match future treatments to how your tumor behaves in the lab.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT03981497Recruiting
Microwave treatment for small, hard-to-remove liver and kidney tumors
This trial tests using a “microwave ablation” procedure to destroy small liver or kidney tumors when surgery isn’t an option or can’t remove everything. It may help patients avoid major surgery by targeting tumors directly with heat.
