Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07778290Recruiting
Boswellia cream to prevent skin irritation from radiation
This trial tests a cream made from boswellia (a natural plant extract) to see if it can prevent skin irritation (radiation dermatitis) caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you are about to start radiation, this cream might help protect your skin.
AlexandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT02479698RecruitingPhase 2
Immune cells for BK or JC virus infections
This trial tests a treatment using special immune cells (called cytotoxic T lymphocytes) to fight BK or JC virus infections in people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients or organ transplant recipients. It may help control the virus and reduce related complications.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT07524114Recruiting
Blood test to find leftover cancer after treatment
This study uses a blood test to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after you finish treatment. It may help doctors know if cancer is still there and guide next steps.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07779018RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T cell therapy after second-line treatment for aggressive B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a type of immunotherapy called CAR-T cell therapy, which uses your own immune cells to fight lymphoma. It is for people who have already responded well to a second round of chemotherapy and are at high risk of the cancer coming back. The goal is to see if this treatment can keep the cancer away longer.
BeijingAges 18–85 - NCT06369246RecruitingPhase 2
Five-session radiation for advanced prostate cancer
This trial is testing a shorter course of radiation therapy (5 sessions instead of many) for men with prostate cancer that is at a higher risk but hasn't spread. The goal is to see if fewer, higher-dose treatments work as well while being more convenient.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07780188Recruiting
Lean beef in a healthy meal plan for teens with PCOS
This study tests whether adding lean beef to a healthy meal plan can help teens with PCOS improve their health. You'll follow a special diet and wear a small monitor to track your blood sugar, and the study may help you feel better and manage your condition.
College Station, TexasAges 11–17 - NCT06634589RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy for relapsed B-cell blood cancers
This study tests new drug combinations for people with B-cell blood cancers (like lymphoma or leukemia) that have come back or stopped responding to treatment. It aims to see if these combos are safe and can help fight the cancer.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07067138Recruiting
Genetic testing to guide treatment for advanced breast cancer
This study looks at the genes in your cancer to find a treatment that might work better for you. It tests your tumor sample to match you with a drug that targets your cancer's specific weaknesses.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06844383RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib with or without enzalutamide for prostate cancer after prior treatment
This study tests a drug called talazoparib, either alone or combined with enzalutamide, in people with prostate cancer that has spread and has a specific genetic change. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer after previous therapies have stopped working.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07162038RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cells plus half-matched stem cell transplant for high-risk blood cancer
This trial tests giving special immune cells (CAR-T cells) that target a protein called CD19 on cancer cells, followed by a half-matched stem cell transplant, to treat high-risk blood cancers. The treatment aims to improve outcomes by using the CAR-T cells to reduce disease before the transplant.
