Testing a faster MRI for prostate cancer detection
This trial is testing a new, faster type of MRI scan (called biparametric MRI) to see if it can detect prostate cancer as well as the standard scan. It may help you avoid a longer scan and possibly reduce the need for contrast dye.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06461624RecruitingPhase 1
GPC3 CAR-T cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy, called CAR-T cells, that are engineered to target a protein called GPC3 found on liver cancer cells. It is for people with advanced liver cancer that has not responded to previous treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT05983523RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PEP07 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new pill called PEP07 for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to or cannot tolerate standard treatments. The goal is to see if PEP07 can help shrink or control the cancer.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT05887687Recruiting
Ga-68 PET/CT scan for people with cancer
This trial looks at using a specific PET/CT scan (a whole-body imaging test) to help evaluate cancer that is confirmed or suspected. If you are eligible, you may receive this scan soon after a recent FDG PET/CT to compare or improve how cancers are identified.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04854213Recruiting
Study checks radiation effects in colon cancer lung-limited spread
This trial studies how targeted radiation (SBRT) affects cancer biology and immune cells in people with colon cancer that has spread only to a small number of lung nodules. Your tumor tissue will be analyzed to see what changes after treatment.
Naples, NAPOLIAges 18–80 - NCT05853783Recruiting
Testing a mouth test on biopsy samples from abnormal lesions
This trial looks at archived (saved) mouth biopsy samples to see how well the STRATICYTE™ test can identify potentially dangerous “pre-cancer-like” changes. It may help doctors screen or better understand which abnormal areas in the mouth later turn into oral cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06676761Recruiting
Study of a new minimal scar mastectomy
This trial is testing a new surgical technique that leaves a smaller scar during mastectomy for breast cancer. It may be a good option if you want to keep the scar as small as possible.
SingaporeAges Any age - NCT06341764RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery for locally advanced bile duct cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor enough to improve surgical outcomes.
Naples, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT03874026RecruitingPhase 2
Folfiri plus cetuximab for advanced, gene-matched colon cancer
This trial tests whether a combination chemotherapy (Folfiri) plus cetuximab works better for people with stage IV colorectal cancer that has specific tumor gene markers and a specific blood-gene type. It may help you shrink tumors or control the cancer if you match the study’s required lab and health criteria.
NaplesAges 18–75 - NCT04622462Recruiting
Testing a lab marker to predict oral cancer risk
This study looks at biopsy samples from mouth lesions that seem concerning, to see if a specific lab marker pattern can help predict whether oral cancer may be present or developing. It may help doctors sort which suspicious lesions need closer attention sooner.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 15–90 - NCT05141474RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized immune cell treatment for advanced cancers after failed therapy
This trial tests a personalized therapy made from your own immune cells (TIL) picked to match your tumor’s “neoantigens,” plus standard immune-boosting medicine (including IL-2). It’s for people with advanced epithelial or immune “resistant” solid tumors whose cancer has continued growing despite available treatments.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06519760Recruiting
68Ga-C1 PET/CT imaging for clear cell kidney cancer
This trial uses a special imaging scan (68Ga-C1 PET/CT) to see kidney cancer more clearly. It helps doctors find and understand clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a common type of kidney cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06388031RecruitingPhase 2
Re-trying immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer after long-term success
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy again can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease stayed stable for at least 2 years on their first immunotherapy but then started growing. It aims to see if a second course of treatment can work again.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05940259Recruiting
68Ga PET/CT scan for prostate cancer imaging
This trial looks at a specific PET/CT scan using a tracer called 68Ga to create detailed images of prostate cancer. It may help doctors see where cancer is in the body more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06190886RecruitingPhase 1
First-in-human study of PTX-912 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called PTX-912 for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It is a first-in-human study, meaning this is the first time PTX-912 is being given to people, to see how safe it is and how well it works.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06229158Recruiting
Sexual health needs in advanced cancer: a quality-of-life study
This study asks people with advanced cancer (and their partners) about their sexual health and quality of life. It aims to understand what needs are not being met and how to better support patients and their partners.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06622486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EGL-001 for advanced solid tumors after immunotherapy
This trial tests a new drug called EGL-001 for people with advanced solid tumors that have already been treated with immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective against cancer that has not responded to other treatments.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06520683RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after surgery for high-risk stage II colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether a drug called an immune checkpoint inhibitor (PD-1 blocker) can help lower the risk of cancer returning after surgery. It is for people with a specific type of colorectal cancer (dMMR or MSI-H) that had certain high-risk features.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06677944RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before surgery for early-stage breast cancer
This trial tests giving radiation to the tumor area before surgery for women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. The idea is to see if giving radiation first can help protect healthy tissue while still being effective.
SeoulAges 45 years+ - NCT07658170Recruiting
Fat graft with platelet-rich fibrin for breast reconstruction after lumpectomy
This trial tests using a patient's own fat plus a special blood product (platelet-rich fibrin) to rebuild the breast right after a lumpectomy for breast cancer. It may help improve healing and appearance for women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–69 - NCT07659990Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for mastectomy pain relief
This study compares two types of nerve blocks given before a mastectomy (breast removal surgery) to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are having a mastectomy on one side with lymph node removal, you may be able to join.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–75 - NCT07660094RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment for advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to immunotherapy
This trial tests a new investigational medicine (aglatimagene besadenovec) plus pembrolizumab against standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with stage IV non-squamous lung cancer that has stopped responding to pembrolizumab. The new treatment is given as a tumor injection (like a biopsy) along with a pill (prodrug) and an infusion of pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if it can re-engage the immune system to fight the cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07659379Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long term extension study for gotistobart treated patients
This study is for people who have already been taking the drug gotistobart in a previous trial. It allows them to keep receiving the drug for a longer time, so doctors can see how the treatment works over a longer period.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07661641RecruitingPhase 1
Study of new radioactive treatments for GRPR-positive tumors
This early-phase study tests two new radioactive treatments (lutetium-177 and actinium-225) together with a guided imaging agent in people with GRPR-positive solid tumors (including prostate, breast, or colorectal cancers). The goal is to see if these treatments can shrink tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
