Taping vs compression for breast swelling after radiation
This study compares two non-drug treatments for breast swelling (lymphedema) that can happen after breast-conserving surgery and radiation. It tests whether special tape (Kinesio Taping) works as well as compression therapy to reduce swelling and symptoms.
Tangshan, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07775209Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Shorter radiation and chemo for anal cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy given with chemotherapy for people with high-risk anal cancer. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment is just as effective but causes fewer side effects and is more convenient.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT07774572RecruitingPhase 1
Circular RNA study for B-cell blood cancers
This study looks at a new way to treat B-cell blood cancers that have not responded to other treatments or have come back. It tests a therapy that targets cancer cells using RNA, which is a molecule that helps make proteins in your body.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07773688Recruiting
Microscopy study of skin biopsy samples
This study uses a special microscope to look at skin biopsy samples in more detail. It may help doctors understand skin conditions better and improve future diagnoses.
Victor, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07770126Recruiting
Stomach bacteria study for gastric conditions and precancer
This study looks for certain stomach bacteria (other than the common H. pylori) that might be linked to stomach diseases or early signs of cancer. If you have a stomach condition, your participation could help doctors understand these bacteria better.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT07769892Recruiting
Blood and stool test for digestive tract cancer screening
This study is testing a new way to screen for cancers of the digestive tract using a simple blood and stool test. It is for people who are already scheduled to have a digestive tract endoscopy, and it may help find cancers earlier without extra invasive procedures.
Zhaoqing, GuangdongAges 45–74 - NCT04460521RecruitingPhase 4
NAC pills and night splints for carpal tunnel without surgery
This trial tests whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) along with wearing a night wrist splint can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s designed for people who want a non-surgical option.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06567535Recruiting
Nerve-sparing surgery for jaw cysts using a camera and navigation
This trial tests a new way to remove jaw cysts using a tiny camera and special guides, which may help protect the nerve in your jaw. It is for people with a tooth-related cyst at least 2 cm wide that is pushing on that nerve.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04838652RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab with salvage chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether pembrolizumab combined with salvage (second-line) chemotherapy can treat people whose classical Hodgkin lymphoma has either come back after initial treatment or did not respond to initial treatment. You may benefit if you have first-relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma and meet other study rules.
CologneAges 18–65 - NCT05830123RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug HS-20093 for osteosarcoma after earlier treatment
This Phase 2 trial studies HS-20093 in adults with osteosarcoma or other sarcomas that came back or did not respond to standard treatment. It aims to see how well the drug works and whether it is safe for people whose cancer has progressed.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06454955RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan imaging study for solid tumors using a new probe
This trial tests a new imaging agent that targets a protein called B7-H3 found on many solid tumors. It uses PET/CT to help doctors see and stage tumors more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06185556RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New treatments for liver tumors near blood vessels or bile ducts
This trial tests two procedures—irreversible electroporation and stereotactic body radiotherapy—for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver (1–3 tumors near major blood vessels or bile ducts) and can't be surgically removed or treated with heat. The goal is to see if these approaches can safely destroy those hard-to-reach tumors.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06354959Recruiting
Prehab program before lung or esophageal cancer surgery
This program helps you get stronger and healthier before your lung or esophageal cancer surgery. It's called 'prehab' and aims to improve your recovery after the operation.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06564272RecruitingPhase 2
Study of KC1036 for teens with advanced Ewing sarcoma
This trial tests an experimental drug, KC1036, for adolescents with advanced Ewing sarcoma that has not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 12–18 - NCT06548529Recruiting
HER2 PET/CT scan to predict treatment response in bladder cancer
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan to see if your bladder cancer has HER2 proteins, which can help predict how well you will respond to a targeted antibody-drug conjugate treatment. It is for people with advanced bladder cancer who have already tried certain standard therapies.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06325995Recruiting
Short radiation course after prostate surgery for rising PSA
This trial tests a shorter, stronger course of radiation (hypofractionated radiotherapy) given after prostate removal surgery. It may help people whose PSA levels rise again after surgery, aiming to reduce side effects and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT03827317Recruiting
Scan to see HER2 in breast cancer with a new tracer
This study tests a new PET scan tracer to show where HER2-positive breast cancer cells may be in the body. It may help doctors better “map” HER2 activity, including in people with HER2-positive or HER2-negative cancer.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT04498767Recruiting
Radiation to treat a few metastatic spots in rare cancers
This trial studies whether stereotactic (high-precision) radiation given in a few sessions can control rare cancers that have spread to a small number of sites. It aims to help by treating all known spots while keeping side effects manageable.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06279260Recruiting
National robotic prostate surgery database study
This study collects health information from men who have had robotic surgery for prostate cancer. It aims to learn more about the outcomes of this surgery to help improve future care.
Ballarat, VictoriaAges 18–90 - NCT06325774Recruiting
Shorter radiation for localized prostate cancer
This trial tests a shorter, more intense course of radiation (hypofractionated radiotherapy) for men with localized prostate cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective and may reduce the number of hospital visits.
