Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05054335Recruiting
Testing personalized walking models for pelvic sarcoma surgery rehab
This study uses personalized computer models and movement measurements (often with MRI) to improve how surgery and physical rehab plans are tailored after pelvic sarcoma surgery. It aims to better understand walking and movement patterns so rehabilitation can be more effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04782752Recruiting
Radiation before lung transplant to help stop lung cancer spread
This study tests a focused, low-dose type of radiation given before a lung transplant. The goal is to help your immune system recognize and attack cancer cells (called “radiovaccination”) and improve outcomes for people who cannot get curative treatment with surgery or SBRT alone.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05245058RecruitingEarly Phase 1
SPH5030 for HER2-positive advanced solid tumors
This early-stage study tests SPH5030 tablets in people with HER2-positive advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment or have no standard option. It aims to see whether the treatment can shrink tumors and is safe enough to move forward.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05103345RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Injection into tumors to treat advanced solid cancers
This early-phase study tests a medicine called SGN1 given directly into a solid tumor. It’s for people with advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatment (or don’t have good standard options) and aims to see if the injection is safe and may work.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04983095Recruiting
Targeted radiation for a few prostate cancer metastases
This trial looks at whether a precise form of radiation (stereotactic body radiotherapy) can control a small number of prostate cancer spots seen on a special scan (PSMA PET/CT). It may help by treating limited metastases while avoiding unnecessary treatment elsewhere.
Lund, LundAges 18 years+ - NCT05151718Recruiting
Study of ependymoma treatment resistance in children
This trial looks at why ependymoma can resist (be harder to treat) after radiation or treatment. It studies children who are already being followed in specific existing programs, which may help researchers find better treatment approaches in the future.
ToulouseAges Up to 25 years - NCT05260385RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug KC1036 for advanced digestive cancers
This early-phase study tests whether KC1036 can treat advanced digestive system cancers that have come back or spread after standard treatment. It may help people by shrinking tumors or slowing growth, and it will also check safety and side effects.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06513624RecruitingPhase 1
ETC-159 plus pembrolizumab for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs—ETC-159 (a pill that targets a specific growth pathway) and pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy)—for people with advanced ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05098197RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of TIL cell therapy for advanced liver, bile, or pancreas cancer
This trial studies a treatment called TIL therapy, which uses your own immune cells grown from a tumor sample, to treat advanced cancers of the liver/bile ducts or pancreas. It’s mainly for people whose standard treatments have already failed (or none exist), and who can safely provide tumor tissue for the cell preparation.
