This study tests a program to help people with a history of cancer and their family caregivers quit using tobacco or nicotine products. You may help researchers learn what works best for supporting quitting in this group.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03868722RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Acalabrutinib plus venetoclax for high-risk CLL with infection risk
This study tests whether acalabrutinib plus venetoclax can control newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in people who are at higher risk of infections or who likely need treatment soon. It aims to see if this combination can improve disease control while keeping patients safe.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05546827RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation plus immunotherapy for mucosal melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests giving radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for mucosal melanoma in the nose/sinuses or rectum. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes while aiming to control the disease locally and in nearby areas.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06273345Recruiting
Treating the primary tumor for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This trial studies whether treating the main prostate tumor with local therapy (like surgery or radiation) along with hormone therapy is beneficial for men whose cancer has spread to only a few spots in the body (low-volume metastases). It focuses on men who have not had any prior treatment for their prostate cancer.
Brixen, BolzanoAges 18 years+ - NCT07034053RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Clofarabine for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests the drug clofarabine in people with advanced bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It is for those who have already tried standard treatments or chose not to have them.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05876715RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing 3 immunotherapy drugs for hard-to-remove soft tissue cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests lurbinectedin plus two immune checkpoint medicines (ipilimumab and nivolumab) for soft tissue sarcoma that is hard to remove or has spread. It aims to see how well the combination works and how safe it is, especially for people with limited treatment options.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06223841RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing IAP0971 for advanced solid tumors and lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, IAP0971, in patients with advanced solid tumors or a specific type of lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC) that has high PD-L1 levels. It aims to see if the drug can help when standard treatments have stopped working or are not an option.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06846450RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing radiation types for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy (IMRT or IMPT plus CIRT) to see which works better for patients with nasopharyngeal cancer that hasn't spread. It's for people who have not had radiation to the head or neck before.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06838689Recruiting
Comparing ways to involve people in pediatric, cancer, and serious illness research
This study compares two different methods for including patients, families, and clinicians in qualitative research about pediatric mental health, cancer screening, or serious illness. You can help by sharing your experiences and perspectives.
Hanover, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06838117Enrolling by invitation
Breast density and contrast mammography study
This study looks at how breast density affects background enhancement in contrast-enhanced mammography. It aims to create a standardized way to report these findings, which could help improve breast cancer screening.
BrindisiAges 18 years+ - NCT05689853RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing two targeted cancer drugs for advanced solid tumors
This early-stage study tests a combination of two study medicines (AK119 plus AK112) in people with advanced solid tumors that have grown or didn’t respond to standard treatment. It may help shrink tumors or improve how long people can stay on treatment by blocking cancer-related pathways.
