SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT04741945RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin to help prevent leukemia in certain blood disorders
This Phase 2 study tests whether metformin can lower the risk of leukemia developing in people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (LR-MDS) or CCUS. You may be considered if your blood counts have stayed low and other causes have been ruled out.
Copenhagen, Copenhagen NAges 18 years+ - NCT06033183Recruiting
Study of radiation sensitivity in children with cancer
This study looks at how children's bodies respond to radiation therapy for certain cancers. By analyzing blood samples, researchers hope to learn why some children experience more side effects, which could help personalize future treatments.
CaenAges 3–18 - NCT05894369Recruiting
Testing how the tumor environment affects pre-op chemo plus immunotherapy
This study looks at people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to see how changes in the “tumor neighborhood” may affect how well treatment works before surgery. If you’re eligible, you would receive chemotherapy plus immunotherapy as neoadjuvant (before-surgery) treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06692166RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs standard chemo for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a new drug called 9MW2821 against standard chemotherapy options for cervical cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if the new drug works better than the usual treatments, and you must have already tried a platinum-based chemotherapy.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06588413RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two doses of olanzapine for nausea after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether a lower dose of olanzapine (2.5 mg) works as well as the usual dose (5 mg) for preventing nausea and vomiting caused by high-dose melphalan chemotherapy. It is for people receiving their own stem cell transplant.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04233788Recruiting
Brain mass imaging study using MRI to learn what causes it
This study uses MRI scanning to better describe a suspected brain mass and understand what it might be. You may be asked to lie in the scanner for about one hour, if you meet the study’s safety and eligibility rules.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT03745534Recruiting
Cochlear implant after Gamma Knife for vestibular schwannoma
This pilot study looks at how well cochlear implants work for hearing restoration in people who previously received Gamma Knife treatment for a tumor called vestibular schwannoma. It may help doctors understand what hearing results to expect after surgery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT03438474Recruiting
Lymph node surgery study for certain early endometrial cancers
This trial studies whether adding lymph node removal (lymphadenectomy) during surgery helps people with certain early-stage endometrial cancer. It focuses on patients who do not have visibly enlarged lymph nodes and who can safely have the operation.
AalenAges 18–75 - NCT03745560Recruiting
Test hearing testing during surgery to guide cochlear implant decisions
This study uses a special hearing test done during surgery for vestibular schwannoma to help decide what hearing treatment you need afterward. It may help guide whether a cochlear implant is a good option for hearing rehabilitation.
Vienna, AustriaAges 18–99 - NCT05824975RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug GI-102 alone or with cancer medicines
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether GI-102 is safe and can help shrink advanced solid tumors. It also looks at GI-102 used with standard cancer treatments like pembrolizumab or trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd).
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05512286Recruiting
Radiation experience after breast surgery with belly flap
This trial looks at how people feel (patient-reported outcomes) and how safe treatment is when radiotherapy is given after a mastectomy with a DIEP belly skin-flap reconstruction. It may help doctors understand which experiences to expect and how to improve care.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05927818Recruiting
Test a sentinel lymph node biopsy in early ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether taking a sample from the sentinel lymph node during surgery can help with staging early ovarian cancer. It may help doctors find spread to lymph nodes more accurately while limiting unnecessary lymph node removal in some cases.
