Quality of life study in older adults with low-grade lymphoma
This study looks at quality of life in people age 70 and older with slow-growing (low-grade) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who haven’t been treated yet. It requires a geriatric (aging-focused) check before starting care, to see what helps older patients feel better during treatment.
Alessandria, AlessandriaAges 70 years+ - NCT02363595Recruiting
Genetic clues for how small thyroid cancers may grow
This study looks at gene changes to predict whether a small papillary thyroid cancer found on biopsy is likely to stay stable or grow over time. It may help doctors choose who can safely stay on watchful waiting.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04224974Recruiting
Engagement and symptom support for newly diagnosed acute leukemia
This trial tests an emotion- and symptom-focused way of engaging with care for people who are newly diagnosed with acute leukemia and starting intensive “induction” treatment aimed at cure. It may help you feel better supported and better able to manage distressing symptoms during a critical early phase of treatment.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02265770RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Treatment plan for children with brain ependymoma after surgery

GrazAges Up to 22 years - NCT02215928Recruiting
Using tumor genetic tests to guide treatment choices
This study looks at your tumor’s genetic information to help doctors recommend treatment for cancers that have spread. It may help you get the most suitable therapy based on what’s found in your tumor.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03067467Recruiting
MRI scan study of brain tumors using special carbon imaging
This trial uses a special MRI scan that shows how “metabolism” (how cells use fuel) differs in brain tumors. It may help researchers better understand tumor biology and how tumors may respond to treatment, without using chemotherapy or radiation as part of the study.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT05301283RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive radiation therapy before surgery for soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a personalized (“adaptive”) radiation plan before surgery for high-grade soft-tissue sarcoma that can be removed. It may help shrink the tumor and improve how well surgery can treat the cancer.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07671534RecruitingPhase 2
Metronomic chemotherapy with gemcitabine, mitomycin C, and thalidomide for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—gemcitabine, mitomycin C, and thalidomide—given in a low, frequent 'metronomic' schedule to treat advanced solid tumors that have already been treated. The goal is to see if this approach can slow or stop tumor growth with fewer side effects.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06815289Recruiting
MR-guided radiation for hard-to-treat central lung tumors
This trial tests a specialized radiation therapy that uses daily MRI scans to precisely target lung tumors located near the windpipe or esophagus. It aims to improve treatment accuracy while reducing side effects.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06262919Recruiting
Monitoring safety of Tafinlar/Mekinist for BRAF-positive tumors
This study tracks the safety of the combination therapy Tafinlar and Mekinist in people with advanced or returning solid tumors that have a BRAF mutation, except for colorectal cancer. It aims to make sure the treatment is safe in the real world.
Nagakute, Aichi-kenAges 6–99 - NCT06217822RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new radiation therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, 225Ac-PSMA-Trillium, that targets prostate cancer cells. It is for people whose advanced prostate cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy and may have spread.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06208410RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
JS105 plus other treatments for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called JS105 combined with other anti-cancer therapies for people with certain advanced breast, ovarian, endometrial, or cervical cancers. It aims to find out if these combinations are safe and effective.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06257680RecruitingPhase 1
ReT01 cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called ReT01 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It uses your own immune cells from a tumor sample to fight the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05341492RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T therapy for EGFR/B7H3-positive lung and triple-negative breast cancer
This early-phase trial tests CAR-T cells designed to find and attack tumors that show EGFR or B7H3 markers. It may help people with advanced lung cancer or triple-negative breast cancer after standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07659158Recruiting
Virtual resilience program for advanced cancer patients
This trial tests a virtual group program to help people with advanced cancer build resilience and manage stress. It involves online sessions and modules, and aims to improve coping and quality of life.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03031249Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ATO plus ATRA for NPM1-mutated AML after remission
This trial studies whether a combination medicine (ATO plus ATRA) is safe and works better in people with a specific type of AML (acute myeloid leukemia) caused by an NPM1 mutation. You would join only after your leukemia has reached remission, meaning the active leukemia has cleared after initial treatment.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 14–55 - NCT06188624RecruitingPhase 1
Study of TQB2922 for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug, TQB2922, for people with advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and how it affects the cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03739827Recruiting
Study rare solid tumors and collect your health samples
This study follows people (and sometimes family members) connected to rare solid tumors and collects health information and samples (biospecimens). It helps researchers understand how these cancers develop and builds resources for future research, which may benefit you by contributing to better tailored care for rare cancers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks+ - NCT06168292Recruiting
Combined treatment for bile duct cancer
This trial is testing a new approach for people with bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It combines a procedure that uses heat to destroy cancer cells inside the bile duct with standard radiation therapy.
Goyang-si, OtherAges 20 years+ - NCT06157827RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing LBL-024 plus chemo for advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma
This trial tests a new drug, LBL-024, combined with standard chemotherapy (etoposide and platinum) for people with advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemo alone.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05695222Recruiting
Skin cancer staging study for adults with squamous cell cancer
This study looks at how doctors stage (classify the extent of) a type of skin cancer called cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. You may be helping researchers by allowing your clinical data to be used for research.
LondonAges 18–120 - NCT06160492RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a Glowing Dye to Improve Brain Tumor Removal
This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing malignant brain tumors: one using a special dye (5-ALA) that makes tumor cells glow under a blue light, versus the standard white light surgery. The goal is to see if the dye-guided approach helps surgeons remove more of the tumor safely.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06109870Recruiting
Increasing cervical cancer screening in Texas communities
This study tests a new community-based program to help women who are overdue for cervical cancer screening get easier access to testing. It’s designed for women in underserved areas of Texas who haven’t had a recent Pap or HPV test.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05701709RecruitingPhase 1
First-in-human test for a new drug in advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests SHR-A2102, a new cancer medicine, in adults with advanced solid tumors. It mainly looks at safety and how the body handles the drug, and it may help if standard treatments are not working or are not an option.
