- NCT04166006RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine made from your tumor cells after surgery for rare cancers
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your own tumor material, aiming to lower the chance cancer returns after surgery. It is for people whose rare cancers have been removed completely and who have no standard treatment available after surgery.
Meldola, FCAges 18 years+ - NCT04498221Recruiting
Mapping lymph flow in oropharyngeal cancer with scans
This study uses a special dye or tracer to map how lymph fluid travels from an oropharyngeal (throat) cancer to nearby lymph nodes. It may help doctors understand the most likely spread pattern and plan future treatment more accurately.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05512403RecruitingPhase 3
Test of FDOPA PET scan to evaluate a brain tumor
This study checks how well an FDOPA PET scan can identify and describe a specific type of brain tumor at the beginning. Results may help doctors decide on the best next steps for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18–75 - NCT05235009Recruiting
Testing a urine and blood test to spot early cancer
This study checks whether a lab test using your urine and blood (plasma) can detect signs of cancer early in people who don’t have symptoms. It compares people with newly found cancer to people without cancer to see how accurate the test is.
StockholmAges 18–80 - NCT05097820Recruiting
Study of silicone gel testicular implants after placement
This is an observational study that follows people who receive silicone gel-filled testicular implants. It aims to collect real-world information about safety and healing to help improve future care.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges birth–110 years - NCT05687851RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab plus radiation for locally advanced cervical cancer
This trial studies whether adding cadonilimab (an immune therapy) to standard radiation can improve treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may help your immune system work better against the cancer while radiation shrinks it.
Chongqing, CHNAges 18 years+ - NCT05766800RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 plus chemotherapy before surgery for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether giving a PD-1 antibody together with standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with stage IIIB–IIIC non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and make treatment before surgery more effective.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05613023RecruitingPhase 3
Short-course prostate and pelvic SBRT using 5 treatment sessions
This study compares two schedules of highly focused radiation (SBRT): 5 sessions to the prostate only, versus 5 sessions to the prostate and nearby pelvic lymph nodes. It aims to see which approach controls high-risk localized prostate cancer better while you also take hormone therapy.
CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05772390RecruitingPhase 2
Second radiation for a small breast cancer return
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving targeted radiation again to the same breast can control a small, local breast cancer that came back after prior whole-breast radiation. It may help some patients avoid or delay further treatment for the breast while carefully checking safety.
Meldola, Forlì CesenaAges 18 years+ - NCT05831033RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Your own immune T-cells to treat advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a treatment made from your own tumor-fighting immune cells (TIL cells) for advanced solid cancers that have worsened or no longer respond to standard therapy. The main goal is to learn whether it is safe and whether it can shrink tumors for people who have limited options.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06079112RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial is testing a new combination of two drugs—9MW2821 (a targeted therapy) and toripalimab (an immunotherapy)—for people with advanced bladder cancer. It aims to see if using them together can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05830812Recruiting
Improve accuracy of lung cancer invasiveness diagnosis during surgery
This trial looks to improve how doctors judge how “invasive” a small lung adenocarcinoma is while you’re having surgery. Better accuracy may help guide treatment decisions for people with early-stage, operable lung cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 20–80 - NCT06105177Recruiting
Using blood tests to guide lung cancer care
This trial uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to find tumor DNA in people suspected of having lung cancer. The goal is to learn if this test can help doctors make better treatment decisions without needing a tissue sample.
Heerlen, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06140589Recruiting
Cadonilimab for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called cadonilimab for women with cervical cancer that has returned, spread, or is advanced. The goal is to see if it works well, how safe it is, and if it costs less than standard treatments.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT06204341Recruiting
Finding the best radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial compares different radiation therapy plans for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. It aims to find the best way to treat the prostate and the surrounding lymph nodes while minimizing side effects.
Leidschendam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07754864Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality education for first-time radiation therapy
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) before your first radiation therapy session can help reduce anxiety and improve your overall experience. You'll use a VR headset to see what treatment will be like, which may help you feel more prepared and at ease.
Muscat, Muḩāfaz̧at MasqaţAges 18 years+ - NCT06248996RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a stronger radiation schedule for large head and neck cancers
This trial tests whether giving a slightly different schedule of radiation (more frequent, smaller doses) can improve treatment for people with large head and neck cancers. It is for patients who are getting radiation as their main treatment, sometimes with chemotherapy as well.
GävleAges 18–100 - NCT06342037RecruitingPhase 2
New immunotherapy options for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab and tiragolumab) for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if this combination can shrink or slow the cancer.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06289751RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery for stage IB2 cervical cancer
This trial tests if giving chemotherapy plus an immunotherapy drug before surgery can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes for patients with stage IB2 cervical cancer that has not been treated yet. It might be an option if you have a specific type of cervical cancer that shows a certain protein (PD-L1) on your tumor cells.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT06450067Recruiting
Inaticabtagene Autoleucel for Relapsed or Refractory ALL
