Pierre-BéniteAges Any age - NCT02869607Recruiting
Breast cancer database for people with breast cancer
This study collects information from people diagnosed with breast cancer to help researchers understand outcomes and treatment patterns. You may or may not receive a new treatment—often it’s about using existing clinical data.
Marseille, Bouches du RhoneAges 18 years+ - NCT01913106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing valacyclovir with an added cancer gene in prostate radiation
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether adding a cancer-targeting gene therapy (HSV-tk) and the antiviral medicine valacyclovir to brachytherapy can better treat recurrent prostate cancer in the prostate area. It may help by making cancer cells more vulnerable to the treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT02869620Recruiting

Marseille, Bouches du RhoneAges 18–95 - NCT02869568Recruiting
Ovarian cancer database for patient information
This study collects and organizes information from people who have ovarian cancer. It may help researchers better understand ovarian cancer and how patients are treated.
Marseille, Bouches-du RhôneAges 18–95 - NCT02869594Recruiting
Prostate cancer database study
This study collects information from people with prostate cancer to build a database. Researchers use it to better understand prostate cancer and support future research.
Marseille, Bouches-du RhôneAges 18–95 - NCT02869516Recruiting
Acute leukemia patient database study
This study enrolls people who have been diagnosed with acute leukemia and collects health information in a database. It may help doctors better understand care outcomes and improve future treatment planning.
Marseille, Bouches-du RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT02869555Recruiting
Study of people with multiple myeloma in a patient database
This is a study that collects information from people diagnosed with multiple myeloma. It may help researchers understand the disease and improve future care by using past and ongoing patient data.
Marseille, Bouches-du RhôneAges 18–95 - NCT02884375Recruiting
Study for people 70+ with cancer and geriatric care review
This trial enrolls people age 70 or older who have been diagnosed with cancer and are being referred to a geriatrician for a health and care needs review. It tests whether this geriatric assessment and related care approach is useful for elderly cancer patients.
CréteilAges 70 years+ - NCT02869542Recruiting
Lymphoma registry to support future research
This trial is a lymphoma database (a way to collect and store health information). It helps researchers study people with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma to better understand outcomes and possibly improve future care.
Marseille, Bouches-du RhôneAges 18–95 - NCT02917369Recruiting
Study of integrative care for large-cell lung cancer
This trial is looking at an approach to treat large-cell lung cancer. It may help people who have not yet had cancer chemotherapy and who are well enough to do day-to-day activities.
Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT02917707Recruiting
Study for colon cancer that has spread to the liver
This study focuses on people with colon cancer (CRC) that has spread to the liver. It looks at factors that may affect liver metastases and could help doctors better understand who may benefit from future treatments.
Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT03120481Recruiting
Check how respiratory health changes in people without lung problems
This trial enrolls adults who recently had a chest X-ray as part of routine health screening and did not show major abnormal findings, and who do not have significant breathing symptoms. It may help researchers understand changes in respiratory health over time and improve how respiratory disease risk is monitored.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–90 - NCT03005132Recruiting
Study for people with newly diagnosed brain cancer (GBM)
This trial looks at people with glioblastoma (GBM), a fast-growing brain tumor, to better understand it and how treatments might work. You may be able to join if you’re in a good general health range and have not had prior cancer chemotherapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT01000259Recruiting
Using stored tumor tissue after surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This study looks at archived tumor tissue samples from people with advanced (stage III or IV) ovarian epithelial cancer who had surgery and standard “platinum/taxol” chemotherapy trials. It may help researchers understand the cancer better and improve future treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT02543710RecruitingPhase 4
Biomarker-guided treatment for endometrial cancer
This study uses a tumor “biomarker” test to guide treatment in people with endometrial cancer (and sometimes epithelial ovarian cancer). It tests whether tailoring weekly chemotherapy (paclitaxel) based on biomarker levels can help patients, especially when the cancer has come back or is advanced.
NijmegenAges 18–95 - NCT03125980RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo timing before vs after colon cancer surgery
This Phase 3 study compares two schedules of a colon cancer chemo combination: starting before surgery or starting after surgery. It aims to see which timing helps people live longer and lowers cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03348501Recruiting
MEN1 monitoring study for people in France
This study follows people with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) over time, including those with symptoms, certain isolated hormone gland problems, and people without symptoms who have the MEN1 gene change. It may help doctors learn how MEN1 starts and progresses so care can be better timed and personalized.
DijonAges Any age - NCT03253536Recruiting
Quality of life study after precise liver radiation
This study follows people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) to see how their quality of life changes after a focused form of radiation called stereotactic ablative radiation therapy. It does not appear to test a new drug—rather, it measures patient-reported well-being after treatment.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT03199066Recruiting
Study of non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients in the Czech Republic
This is an observational study that collects real-world information from people diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It does not test a new drug, but it may help doctors understand patient outcomes and care patterns.
