JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT07683754RecruitingPhase 3
T-DXd with hormone therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a targeted drug combination for HER2-positive, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer that has spread. It aims to shrink tumors and control the disease for as long as possible, with a planned switch to maintenance therapy after initial response.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07466498RecruitingPhase 2
Estrogen patch for men with metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests whether an estrogen patch can improve quality of life for men with prostate cancer that has spread. It may be an option if you haven't started certain hormone treatments yet.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06028022RecruitingPhase 2
Reishi mushroom for fatigue and joint/muscle pain in breast cancer
This trial tests whether a reishi mushroom extract can help reduce fatigue and joint or muscle pain in people with breast cancer who are taking aromatase inhibitors. If you have these symptoms, you may be able to join.
Albert Lea, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07783282RecruitingPhase 1
How prostate cancer drugs affect a new medicine
This study looks at how a new medicine called fezolinetant is processed by the body when taken alongside common prostate cancer hormone treatments. It is an early-phase trial that helps researchers understand if there are any drug interactions, which could be important for future treatment options.
Plovdiv, Plovdiv ProvinceAges 50–75 - NCT05561842Recruiting
Mobile ultrasound tablet test for breast cancer diagnosis in Nigeria
This study tests a tablet-based ultrasound (a scan using sound waves) to help identify breast lumps that look like cancer. If your lump looks suspicious, the scan result is intended to guide next steps like biopsy or surgical removal at the hospital.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05229341Recruiting
Testing DNA “methylation” to evaluate thyroid nodule samples
This study looks at patient tissue from needle biopsies to see if DNA “methylation” patterns can help diagnose and guide treatment for thyroid nodules. You might benefit by helping improve how these nodules are evaluated, using information from your biopsy sample and medical data.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07218146RecruitingPhase 3
Study of ZL-1310 vs Standard Care for Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new drug, ZL-1310, against standard treatments for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned after initial therapy. The goal is to see if ZL-1310 works better than other options.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07714018Recruiting
Comparing two weight loss programs for kidney cancer patients
This study tests two different weight loss programs to see which one helps prevent kidney cancer from growing in people with small kidney masses who are under active surveillance. It may help by improving overall health and potentially slowing cancer progression.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07744126RecruitingPhase 2
Combination drug therapy for head and neck cancer that has spread
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (telisotuzumab adizutecan and pembrolizumab) for people with head and neck cancer that has come back or spread and cannot be cured with local treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer and to find the best dose.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07463807RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Comparing two drug combinations for multiple myeloma that returned quickly
This study tests a new combination of two drugs, teclistamab and pomalidomide, against the usual treatment of three drugs for multiple myeloma that has come back shortly after a standard treatment. The goal is to see if the new combination works better or is safer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07619534Recruiting
Collecting Spinal Fluid from Advanced Breast Cancer Patients
This study collects spinal fluid samples from people with advanced (metastatic) HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who have never had, and currently do not have, cancer spread to the brain. Researchers want to understand how cancer cells might reach the nervous system and develop better treatments.

Gene therapy vs. observation for intermediate risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new gene therapy called nadofaragene firadenovec versus just watching and waiting (observation) for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that hasn't grown into the muscle. The goal is to see if the gene therapy can help keep the cancer from coming back.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07133997RecruitingPhase 1
