New drug YSCH-01 with immunotherapy for recurrent brain cancer
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called YSCH-01, alone or combined with an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab), for glioblastoma that has come back after previous treatment. The study places a small tube in the brain to deliver the drug directly and monitors safety and how well it works.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07537400RecruitingPhase 2
Naxitamab plus standard therapy for newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma
This study tests adding two medications (naxitamab and GM-CSF) to standard chemotherapy for children and young adults with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma, a cancer of nerve cells. The goal is to help the body's immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
JerusalemAges 1–21 - NCT07534488Recruiting
Pain Relief Nerve Block for Pilonidal Sinus Surgery
This trial tests a pain-relief nerve block (a local anesthetic injection near the spine) during planned pilonidal sinus surgery. The goal is to reduce pain after surgery and improve recovery.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07535021Recruiting
Mandala Art Therapy to Help With Cancer Surgery Recovery
This study tests whether creating mandala art (decorative circular patterns) helps colorectal cancer patients cope better after surgery. Researchers want to see if art therapy reduces stress, builds emotional strength, and improves your ability to handle the surgery and recovery.
SivasAges 18–74 - NCT07536113Recruiting
Blood Test to Guide Second Colorectal Cancer Treatment
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors decide if you should receive a specific type of cancer drug again. The blood test looks for cancer DNA to predict if the drug will work for your advanced colorectal cancer.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07541911Recruiting
Confocal Microscopy to Check Prostate Cancer Surgery Margins
This study tests whether a special microscope can help surgeons see cancer margins (edges) during prostate removal surgery to make sure all cancer is removed. It may help surgeons make real-time decisions about how much tissue to remove.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07538635RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T cells plus stem cell transplant for aggressive lymphoma
This trial tests a two-step treatment for patients with an aggressive type of blood cancer (large B-cell lymphoma) that has come back or didn't respond well to standard therapy. You'll receive a stem cell transplant followed by CAR-T cells—specially engineered immune cells designed to fight cancer.
Hangzhou, ZhengjiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07541365Recruiting
Wearable Sensors to Track Health in Cancer Trials
This study tests whether patients in early-phase cancer trials can comfortably use smartwatches and phone apps to track their health and report how they're feeling. The goal is to see if these tools can help doctors better understand how cancer treatments affect daily life.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07541781RecruitingPhase 1
Sitagliptin for recurrent grade 4 glioma
This trial tests whether the diabetes drug sitagliptin (Januvia) can help slow or shrink a recurrent grade 4 glioma (a type of brain tumor). It's for people whose tumor has come back after standard treatment and who have not used sitagliptin or Avastin before.
