This study offers a 12-week program designed to help parents and guardians manage the emotional stress of caring for a child with leukemia. The program is tailored to where you are in your caregiving journey and includes counseling and coping strategies.
Peshawar, Khyber PakhtunkhwaAges 18 years+ - NCT07567235RecruitingPhase 1
CFH Protein Ice Microneedles for Radiation Skin Damage
This study tests a new treatment using ice microneedles to deliver a healing protein (CFH) to prevent skin scarring and fibrosis after radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. The goal is to reduce long-term skin damage from cancer treatment.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07567027Recruiting
Testing a spacing gel to improve prostate cancer freezing treatment
This trial tests whether a special gel placed between the prostate and rectum improves the safety and effectiveness of cryoablation—a freezing treatment for prostate cancer. The gel aims to protect the rectum from cold damage during the procedure.
New York, New YorkAges 40–95 - NCT07561957Recruiting
Smartphone app to help manage chronic kidney disease
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD)—a condition where the kidneys don't filter blood as well as they should—follow the latest medical guidelines. The app aims to make it easier for younger adults to stay on top of their kidney health and treatment.
DublinAges 16–30 - NCT07566559Recruiting
Rectal Cancer Treatment Before Surgery Study
This study follows real-world treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (cancer that has grown into nearby tissues but hasn't spread to distant organs) in patients who receive chemotherapy and/or radiation before surgery. Researchers track how different treatment approaches work to help improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07563621Recruiting
Understanding Vaginal Health Changes in Breast Cancer Survivors
This study examines vaginal dryness and discomfort—common side effects of breast cancer treatment—in women who've survived the disease. Researchers want to understand how often this happens and how much it affects daily life, which may help doctors better support survivors.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07561840Recruiting
Exercise Training After Stomach or Esophagus Cancer Surgery
This study tests whether a guided exercise program helps people recover better after surgery for esophageal or gastric (stomach) cancer. Researchers will track your strength, fitness, and quality of life over time.
Hirakata, OsakaAges 18 years+ - NCT07561814Recruiting
Predicting Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Outcomes Using Medical Images and Data
This study builds a computer model to predict how well pancreatic cancer patients will respond to surgery and what their long-term outcomes might be. Researchers use CT scans, blood tests, and medical records from patients who had pancreatic cancer surgery to teach the model to recognize patterns that help predict outcomes.
