Testing biomarkers in immunotherapy for advanced melanoma

Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06648148Recruiting
Molecular markers for radiation response in breast cancer
This trial looks for biomarkers (biological signs) in breast tissue that might predict how well breast cancer responds to radiation therapy. It is for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) who are scheduled to receive radiation after surgery.
LjubljanaAges 18–75 - NCT05312801RecruitingPhase 1
Testing BAFF CAR-T for relapsed or resistant non-Hodgkin lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests a new immune cell treatment (BAFF CAR-T) for people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or did not respond well to treatment. It aims to see how safe it is and whether it can help control the lymphoma.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05744219RecruitingPhase 3
Iron after major abdominal surgery to improve recovery
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving iron (as ferric carboxymaltose) after complex major surgery can improve recovery by helping your body rebuild blood and oxygen levels after blood loss. It may help patients who are having certain types of aortic, liver, or pancreas operations.
Uppsala, SverigeAges 18 years+ - NCT05156060RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gabapentin and ketamine to treat head and neck cancer pain
This early-phase study tests whether gabapentin and a ketamine nasal spray can help prevent or lessen short-term and long-term pain from locally advanced head and neck cancer. It may help by changing how the nervous system responds to pain during and after radiation and chemoradiation.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 21 years+ - NCT05784311RecruitingPhase 4
Longer vs shorter antibiotic prevention after pancreatoduodenectomy
This trial compares a standard length of preventive antibiotics versus a longer course after Whipple surgery to see if it lowers infection risk without causing extra side effects. It targets people considered higher risk for contamination of bile during surgery.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18–90 - NCT05925764Recruiting
AI tool to help grade lung adenocarcinoma biopsies
This trial tests an artificial intelligence (AI) method that reads whole slide pathology images to classify how aggressive your lung adenocarcinoma is. It may help doctors diagnose the lung cancer grading system more accurately using existing lab slides after surgery.
Zunyi, GuizhouAges 18–85 - NCT06415032Recruiting
Quilting sutures after mastectomy to improve recovery
This study tests whether using special stitches (quilting sutures) during mastectomy helps reduce fluid buildup or other complications after surgery. It is for people having one breast removed without immediate reconstruction.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06522828RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SSGJ-707 for advanced gynecologic cancers
This trial tests a new drug called SSGJ-707 for people with advanced endometrial cancer or ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum-based chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it can help shrink or slow down the cancer.
ChongqingAges 18–75 - NCT05813392Recruiting
Digital CBT for insomnia in breast cancer survivors
This trial tests a phone-based program (digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) to improve sleep and daytime functioning. It is for people with long-term insomnia who have finished breast cancer treatment and are currently stable.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06207656RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy for BRAF V600E mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests if combining three targeted drugs (cetuximab, encorafenib, and binimetinib) before surgery can shrink or control cancer in people with a specific BRAF V600E mutation and a stable (MSS) tumor. It focuses on colorectal cancer that is either already able to be removed or could become removable with treatment.
