Siping, JilinAges 18–80 - NCT07827001Recruiting
Monitoring brain tumors during systemic treatment
This study tests whether it's safe to skip radiation and instead rely on a new systemic treatment (like immunotherapy or targeted therapy) to control brain tumors that have spread from other parts of the body. It might help you manage your disease while avoiding the side effects of radiation.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07832734Recruiting
Brain tumor tissue analysis for glioma diagnosis
This study looks at the chemicals and genes in brain tumors called gliomas to find better ways to diagnose and treat them. People with a brain mass that needs surgery may be able to join.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07829081Recruiting
Watch-and-wait after immunotherapy for early-stage GI cancers
This study looks at whether some patients with early-stage stomach, colon, or rectal cancers that are mismatch repair-deficient (a genetic feature making them more likely to respond to immunotherapy) can safely avoid surgery and instead be monitored closely after treatment with immunotherapy. It aims to confirm if this watch-and-wait approach is as effective and helps patients avoid major operations.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07831902RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone tablets plus radiotherapy for certain endometrial cancers
This trial compares two ways to treat endometrial cancer after surgery: a new option of just radiotherapy plus a daily hormone tablet (progestin) versus the current standard of radiotherapy plus chemotherapy. It aims to see if the new option works just as well with fewer side effects.
BathAges 18 years+ - NCT07833085Recruiting
Imaging test for solid tumors using a special tracer
This study tests a new imaging method that uses a special tracer to find solid tumors in the body. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly and guide treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07830225Recruiting
Using a blood test to guide how long immunotherapy continues for advanced melanoma
This study looks at using a blood test that detects tiny pieces of cancer DNA (called ctDNA) to help decide how long patients with advanced melanoma should stay on immunotherapy. It may help some patients safely stop treatment earlier if the blood test shows the cancer is under control.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18–90 - NCT07830368Recruiting
Support program for cancer survivors
This study tests a survivorship program designed to meet the needs of cancer patients who have finished treatment. It aims to provide support and resources to help them transition to life after cancer.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07831772Recruiting
Maintenance radiotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This study tests an extra course of radiation therapy after standard treatment for glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. The goal is to see if it helps keep the cancer from coming back.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07829848Recruiting
Skip extra radiation for breast cancer patients who respond well to treatment
This trial tests whether women and men with advanced, non-metastatic breast cancer can safely skip an extra radiation boost to the lymph nodes if their tumors respond well to pre-surgery chemotherapy or targeted therapy. The goal is to reduce side effects while keeping cancer control.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06470256RecruitingPhase 1
Surgery plus targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests if removing the main liver tumor with surgery, followed by targeted therapy and immunotherapy, can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread a little. It is for those who have not had prior treatment and whose liver is still working well.
