This study is testing a new robotic system for several types of abdominal surgeries. Depending on your diagnosis, you may qualify for a specific part of this trial that looks at how well this robot can help with your operation.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06557057Recruiting
Aromatase inhibitors and diabetes risk in breast cancer
This study looks at how aromatase inhibitors, a type of hormone therapy for breast cancer, affect blood sugar and diabetes risk. It compares women taking these drugs to those on tamoxifen or healthy women, to see if there are changes in glucose control.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT06796634Recruiting
Cold plasma for cancer in the abdomen
This trial tests whether a special cold gas (called cold atmospheric plasma) can help destroy cancer cells left in the abdomen after surgery. It's for people with certain cancers that have spread to the belly lining.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06545292Recruiting
Blood monitoring for cancer drugs using a finger prick
This study tests an easier way to measure the amount of cancer medicine in your blood using a simple finger prick instead of a standard blood draw. If you are taking one of the listed oral or IV cancer drugs, you may be able to participate.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18–90 - NCT05991193Recruiting
Study for lung cancer with brain spread and EGFR mutation
This trial tests a treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain or spine. It is for those whose cancer has a specific EGFR mutation (19Del or L858R) and who have not yet received treatment for their advanced cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06543056RecruitingPhase 2
ES014 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called ES014 for people with advanced solid tumors that can't be removed or have spread. It's an early trial to see if ES014 is safe and helps fight certain cancers.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07455734RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing BNT3214 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug, BNT3214, in people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if BNT3214 is safe and helps shrink tumors.
ClaytonAges 18 years+ - NCT05996653Recruiting
CEST in low-grade glioma brain tumor study
This study uses a special MRI scan called CEST to look at low-grade brain tumors. It may help doctors learn more about these tumors without needing as many invasive tests. You may join if you have a low-grade glioma and haven't needed treatment yet.
Toronto, OntarioAges 12 years+ - NCT07501351RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two therapies for advanced liver cancer after first treatment fails
This trial tests if a more intensive treatment is better than switching to another therapy for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that got worse after a first treatment with bevacizumab and sintilimab. It aims to find a more effective option for patients who need a next step.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05994690RecruitingPhase 3
Newly diagnosed pediatric AML trial with extra treatment options
This trial studies different treatment plans for children and teens newly diagnosed with AML (a type of blood cancer). Depending on the child's tumor markers and risk group, they may be offered an extra drug (quizartinib) or a targeted antibody (Mylotarg) to see if it improves outcomes.
