This trial compares three methods for moving your own fat into the breast during breast surgery. It may help improve how well fat grafting works and how surgeons choose the best method for you.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05062317RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test-guided chemotherapy after liver tumor removal
This trial uses a blood test (ctDNA, a sign of cancer cells shedding into the blood) to help guide chemotherapy after surgery to remove colorectal liver metastases. It may help patients get the right chemotherapy plan after their operation, potentially based on whether cancer material is still detectable.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05019690RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug combo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial studies how well apatinib plus albumin-bound paclitaxel works for advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has come back or spread. It may help shrink tumors and control the disease by targeting cancer growth in more than one way.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT01898416RecruitingPhase 2
5-ALA by mouth to reduce regrowth of desmoid tumors
This Phase 2 trial tests whether taking a medicine called 5-ALA by mouth after treatment can lower how often desmoid tumors come back in the same area. If you have a desmoid tumor that can be removed and you meet safety criteria, this study may help determine whether 5-ALA is effective and safe for you.
Tel Aviv, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT01668082Recruiting
Study brain tumor metabolism during planned brain surgery
This study looks at how brain tumors use energy (“metabolism”) during planned surgical removal. It may help researchers learn what makes tumors grow and how to improve future brain tumor treatments.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05259410Recruiting
Time-restricted eating during breast cancer chemotherapy
This trial studies whether time-restricted eating (eating only within certain hours) during breast cancer chemotherapy is safe and helpful. Researchers want to see if it improves chemotherapy outcomes and side effects for people with stage I–III breast cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 25–99 - NCT04988074RecruitingPhase 2
Test cemiplimab for HPV-positive throat cancer using tumor biomarkers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether cemiplimab (with or without chemotherapy first) can improve treatment for HPV-positive oropharynx throat cancer. It also uses lab “biomarkers” to help guide which treatment you get next.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05445154RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New treatment for newly diagnosed FLT3 AML with oral drugs
This Phase 1/2 study tests SKLB1028 (with daunorubicin and cytarabine) in people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have an FLT3 mutation. It aims to see how well and how safely this treatment works for this specific type of AML.
ChengduAges 18–59 - NCT05322460Recruiting
Online support program for long-term breast cancer survivors
This study tests a web-based program to support women who have finished breast cancer treatment and have no signs of active disease. It may help improve how you cope, stay informed, and manage life after treatment.
PamplonaAges 18–99 - NCT04083183RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing radiation plus antibody therapy for certain non-cancer diseases
This early-phase study tests a conditioning treatment using total-body irradiation and a radioactive antibody (called astatine-211) before a stem cell transplant for non-cancer conditions. The goal is to improve how well the donor cells take hold and are tolerated.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–49 - NCT04932525Recruiting
Cancer profiling study for adults with eligible tumors
This study helps doctors better understand your cancer by doing tumor/cancer profiling as part of research. If you qualify, your participation may help improve how cancers are studied and matched with future treatments.
Villejuif, Val de MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT05027828Recruiting
Blood test may track ovarian cancer treatment response
This study checks whether a blood test (ctDNA) can show how well ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer treatment is working. If the test reliably reflects response, it could help doctors adjust treatment earlier and more precisely.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05098171RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study TIL cell therapy for advanced gynecologic cancers
This early-phase study tests GC201 TIL therapy, made from your tumor’s immune cells (TILs), for advanced or returning gynecologic cancers. If standard treatments have already failed—or there aren’t standard options—this trial may offer a new way to train your immune system to fight the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04731857Recruiting
Genetic testing results study for rare diseases
This study looks at how well different genetic tests (whole exome/genome sequencing and standard genetic tests) work for diagnosing rare genetic diseases and inherited cancer conditions. It may help confirm which testing approach provides the clearest results for families.
TübingenAges Any age - NCT05121051RecruitingPhase 2
Broccoli sprout extract to reduce tobacco cancer-causing chemicals
This Phase 2 study tests whether broccoli sprout extract (Avmacol ES) can reduce cancer-causing substances linked to heavy smoking. It’s for adults who smoke heavily and may help lower harmful tobacco-related chemical effects in the body.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05018663Recruiting
AI test of fluid samples from pancreatic cysts
This trial uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help interpret fluid/scraping samples taken with a needle from pancreatic cysts. You might be eligible if an ultrasound/endoscopy exam found a pancreatic cyst called a PSL and it’s safe for you to have that needle procedure (FNA/FNB).
Houston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT05223608Recruiting
Study of people starting immunotherapy for solid tumors
This study follows people who are starting their first immune “checkpoint” treatment for a solid cancer. It collects clinic information and lab results to understand how patients respond and what factors matter most.
Lille, Hauts-de-FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05166070RecruitingEarly Phase 1
RD133 for mesothelin-positive tumors after prior treatments
This early-phase study tests RD133, an experimental treatment, in adults whose solid tumors are mesothelin-positive and have come back or not responded to prior standard therapies. It aims to see how well RD133 can control these cancers and what side effects it causes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT04093466RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new pill for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests kanitinib (CX1003), a new cancer medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors that have come back or stopped responding to standard treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see early signs of tumor response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04378023Recruiting
Liver transplant plus chemo-radiation for bile duct cancer
This study tests giving chemo and radiation before a liver transplant for an unresectable bile duct cancer near the liver (hCCA). If your cancer can’t be removed with surgery right now, this approach aims to shrink and control it so transplant may become an option.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–70 - NCT04685226RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ICP-723 for advanced solid tumors you can’t remove
This trial studies ICP-723 (a new medicine) in people with advanced cancers that cannot be removed with surgery, and in some primary brain (CNS) tumors. It’s an early-phase study (Phase 1/2) to see how the treatment works and how safe it is.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 12 years+ - NCT04063514Enrolling by invitation
MRI-focused ultrasound study of blood-brain barrier in low-grade glioma
