BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07792993Recruiting
Focused radiation boost for intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding an extra, targeted dose of radiation to the main tumor during standard radiation therapy can better control prostate cancer. It is for patients with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread, and who are eligible for a shorter course of radiation (20 sessions).
Rome, LazioAges 18–99 - NCT07795749RecruitingPhase 2
Intraperitoneal paclitaxel with systemic therapy for gastrointestinal cancer with peritoneal spread
This study tests a treatment that combines chemotherapy given directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) with standard systemic chemotherapy for people whose gastrointestinal cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis). It aims to control the cancer and improve how patients feel.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07795411Recruiting
Study of blood and tissue in small cell lung cancer
This study looks at blood and tissue samples from people with small cell lung cancer that has returned. The goal is to learn more about the cancer and how to better treat it.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07795294Recruiting
Swallowing exercises for head and neck cancer patients
This trial tests a swallowing exercise program for people getting chemoradiotherapy for head and neck cancer. The goal is to help you swallow better and reduce side effects from treatment.
CairoAges 20–60 - NCT07795723Recruiting
Biopsy method comparison for diagnosing prostate cancer
This study compares two ways of doing prostate biopsies (sampling tissue from the prostate) to see if one is better. It is for men who have a suspicious MRI finding on one side of the prostate and have not had a biopsy before. Participation may help determine which method is more accurate and could influence future care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 19 years+ - NCT07798778RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New drug for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy
This trial tests a new drug called SRT-017 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy. The drug targets a marker on cancer cells (PSMA) and may help slow the disease. The study will check if it is safe and effective.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06478472Recruiting
Orelabrutinib plus rituximab for marginal zone lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two targeted therapies—oralebrutinib (a pill that blocks a protein in cancer cells) and rituximab (an antibody infusion)—for people with marginal zone lymphoma that has returned or cannot be treated with local therapies. The goal is to see if this combo works well and is safe.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06526065Recruiting
Understanding lymphoma biology to improve treatment
This study looks at the biology of certain lymphomas to better understand why some people respond well to treatment and others don't. It involves giving a small additional blood or tissue sample to help researchers find genetic clues that could improve future care.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18–85 - NCT03530826Recruiting
Cancer patient online platform study
This study looks at how a crowd-sourced online platform can help people with cancer. You may be able to join if you’re an adult cancer patient and you’re currently being cared for by a doctor.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05764044RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo after chemoradiation for HPV-positive cervical cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving additional (adjuvant) chemotherapy after standard chemoradiation can help people whose blood test still shows cancer-related HPV DNA. It may help by lowering the risk of the cervical cancer coming back in people who have a positive blood biomarker after treatment.
Manaus, AmazonasAges 18–70 - NCT06508099RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin A and D supplements after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether taking vitamin A and D after a stem cell transplant can help improve recovery. It is for people with certain blood cancers who have a matched donor and are in remission or have low disease activity.
Saint PetersburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06536998Recruiting
Liver Cancer Imaging and Tumor Study
This study looks at how liver cancer appears on CT or MRI scans and how it connects with the tumor's biology. It aims to find better ways to understand and treat liver cancer by linking imaging features with the tumor environment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT03488953Recruiting
Two-step liver surgery using a living donor transplant
This study looks at a specialized liver transplant approach using a living donor, for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by standard surgery. It’s meant for cases where chemotherapy has helped stop or shrink the tumors, to improve the chance of successful treatment.
