Weekly paclitaxel before surgery, using tumor tests to guide care
This trial gives weekly paclitaxel chemotherapy before breast surgery, then studies tumor “biomarkers” to see how well treatment is working. The goal is to improve how doctors predict which patients benefit and who may need different approaches.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT03474822RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Plasmodium immune treatment for breast and liver cancers
This early-phase study tests an immune-based treatment (using Plasmodium) for people with advanced breast cancer or advanced liver cancer. It aims to see whether the treatment is safe and whether it can help the body’s immune system fight the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT03562273Recruiting
GammaPod planning study for breast cancer quality of life
This study looks at how GammaPod radiation planning after a lumpectomy affects quality of life and comfort. Your doctors will use imaging and a structured plan to help predict outcomes and refine care.
Bel Air, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03357172Recruiting
Study immune changes after a stem cell transplant
This study looks at how the immune system changes after an allogeneic stem cell transplant (using a donor’s stem cells). It may help researchers understand what controls immune recovery and transplant-related complications.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05351216Recruiting
Sirolimus safety with routine vaccines for a rare blood vessel tumor
This trial studies how the medicine sirolimus affects children’s response to routine vaccines during treatment for kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE). It compares vaccinated KHE patients taking sirolimus with healthy children getting the same vaccines.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 12 years - NCT03396341Recruiting
Surveys after genetic risk results for certain breast cancer genes
This study asks women to complete surveys after learning their genetic risk results for certain breast cancer–related gene changes. It helps researchers understand how people respond and what they think or feel after getting these results.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 25 years+ - NCT03356054RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug for CD30-positive lymphoma after first treatment fails
This early-phase study tests a lymphoma treatment in adults whose diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is “CD30-positive” and who didn’t respond well to first-line chemotherapy (like R-CHOP) or had an early relapse. It aims to see if the treatment can shrink the lymphoma and is safe enough to move forward.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06962254RecruitingPhase 1
Imatinib and Trametinib for KRAS-mutated solid tumors
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, imatinib and trametinib, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific KRAS mutation (G12X). It may be an option if standard treatments have stopped working or are not available.
Taichung, TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT05124951RecruitingPhase 2
Tested a treatment for specific brain germ cell tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies WVI for children and young adults with a newly diagnosed germ cell tumor in one side of the basal ganglia/thalamus. It aims to see how well the treatment works for tumors without spread within the brain.
BeijingAges 3–30 - NCT03137095Recruiting
Study how chemotherapy affects brain function in breast cancer
This study looks at changes in thinking and brain function in people with early to locally advanced breast cancer before and during chemotherapy. You may also be offered a brain MRI in a separate optional part of the research to learn more about brain changes.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT03073278Recruiting
Targeted re-radiation for prostate cancer recurrence in one area
This study tests a focused radiation treatment (SBRT) to a small, clearly identified spot in the prostate for men whose prostate cancer has come back after prior external beam radiation. It may help control cancer while limiting radiation to the rest of the prostate and nearby organs.
St Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT02863172Recruiting
Genetic studies in families with inherited colon cancer
This study looks at genetic reasons some families get colon cancer due to inherited (run-in-the-family) syndromes. It may help doctors better understand risk and tailor care for you or your relatives.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03492528Recruiting
Heart care study for people starting cancer treatment
This study follows adults who are referred to a heart (cardio-oncology) specialist before starting cancer treatment. It may help doctors better understand heart outcomes in people with cancer and improve how heart risks are managed early.

PET-CT scan to guide bladder cancer treatment decisions
This Phase 2 study checks whether an FDG PET-CT scan can help doctors better predict bladder cancer risk and adjust treatment. You may still get standard bladder cancer care, but the study uses the scan results to help decide how aggressive treatment should be.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT06497010RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized mRNA cancer vaccine for advanced solid tumors
