Understanding genetic factors in advanced solid tumor treatment
This study collects and analyzes tumor samples from people with advanced solid cancers to understand why some treatments work better than others and why resistance can develop. It aims to improve future treatments for patients like you.

Growing tumor models from gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor surgery
This study takes tumor tissue from people having surgery for a certain type of gut or pancreas cancer (neuroendocrine tumors). The tissue is used to grow tiny 3D models called organoids in the lab, which can help researchers learn more about the tumor and find better treatments.

Testing a new combo treatment for newly diagnosed brain lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of orelabrutinib, rituximab, and methotrexate in people with newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma (a lymphoma mainly in the brain/spinal fluid). The goal is to see how well the treatment works and how safely it can be given.

Study of Pluvicto for prostate cancer in Korea
This study is for men with prostate cancer who are being treated with or are scheduled to receive the drug Pluvicto in South Korea. It aims to track real-world results and safety.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18–100 - NCT06004336RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy after radiation for limited spread kidney cancer
This trial tests whether giving a maintenance medication (pembrolizumab) after targeted radiation helps keep kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots (5 or fewer) from growing. You would receive radiation to each spot and then be randomly assigned to receive either the medication or a placebo (inactive substance) for up to about 2 years.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01689584Recruiting
Study of genetic variants in cancer families
This study looks at how a specific DNA genetic change (variant) runs within cancer families. It may help researchers better understand cancer risk and improve genetic testing and interpretation.
Bastia, CorsicaAges 18 years+ - NCT01717924Recruiting
Surgery vs first chemotherapy for stomach signet ring cancer
This trial compares doing surgery first versus starting chemotherapy first for people with resectable signet ring–type stomach cancer. It aims to find which approach works better to cure the cancer and prevent spread.
LilleAges 18–80 - NCT06512428RecruitingPhase 2
Simmitinib plus irinotecan for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs—simmitinib (a targeted therapy) and irinotecan (a chemotherapy)—for people with advanced esophageal cancer that has stopped responding to one prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Heilongjiang, HarbinAges 18–70 - NCT06511401Recruiting
Pain treatment guided by your genes
This study looks at whether knowing your genetic makeup can help doctors choose the safest and most effective pain medicine for you before you start taking opioids. If you are being treated for cancer and may need opioid pain medication soon, this trial might be a fit.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06005324RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized treatment for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a custom treatment plan for people with advanced head and neck cancer that is not caused by HPV. It combines radiation and chemotherapy with a targeted drug called cetuximab, adjusted based on your tumor's characteristics.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07101497RecruitingPhase 2
BN104 as maintenance therapy after stem cell transplant for leukemia
This trial tests a new drug called BN104 to help keep leukemia from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It's for people with certain types of acute leukemia that have specific gene changes.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 12 years+ - NCT06007027Recruiting
Vaginal laser therapy for breast cancer survivors with menopause symptoms
This trial tests whether a vaginal laser treatment can help breast cancer survivors who have menopause-like symptoms such as vaginal dryness or pain during sex. It is designed for women currently on hormone-blocking therapy.
RandersAges 18–100 - NCT06509490Recruiting
CAR-T cell therapy for advanced NKG2DL-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (NKG2D CAR-T cells) for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if these specially engineered cells can shrink tumors or slow their growth.

Grid radiation therapy for advanced, painful tumors
This trial tests a way of giving palliative radiation using a “grid” to treat advanced tumors that are large, resistant to standard radiation, or already needed more than one palliative radiation session. It may help better control symptoms when a cure is not the goal.
