This study looks at whether having H. pylori infection (a common stomach bacteria) and certain features of stomach growth can predict how early stomach cancer or pre-cancerous changes will behave and what your long-term outlook might be. You may be eligible if you are being treated with a camera-based removal procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).

This trial tests an experimental new drug (GSK5471713) for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. It is for people who have already tried certain hormone treatments and chemotherapy.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06970275Recruiting
PET-CT imaging study for cancer surgery patients
This trial uses a special PET-CT scanner to take high-resolution images of cancer tumors that have been surgically removed. The goal is to see how well these images match the results from standard lab tests, such as pathology, and to track long-term outcomes.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT06568939RecruitingPhase 2
Study of telisotuzumab vedotin for non-squamous lung cancer
This trial tests a drug called telisotuzumab vedotin (ABBV-399) given through a vein to people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer) that has a high level of a protein called c-Met. The study aims to see how the drug affects the body and helps control the cancer.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07281599Recruiting
Using a pad to screen for cervical precancer
This trial tests whether a special pad you wear during your period can detect signs of cervical precancer. If you are already scheduled for a colposcopy due to an abnormal Pap or HPV test, you might be able to participate.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 25 years+ - NCT05684692RecruitingPhase 2
Pain-relief study for adults with schwannomatosis
This Phase 2 study tests whether an antibody medicine (either siltuximab or erenumab) can reduce moderate-to-severe pain in adults with schwannomatosis. It compares the medicine to a placebo and looks for improved pain control and tolerability.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07711626Recruiting
Foot massage and ear stimulation for head and neck cancer symptoms
This study tests whether foot massage (reflexology) and a mild nerve-stimulation device on the ear can help reduce side effects during chemotherapy and radiation for head and neck cancer.
Hualien CityAges 30–75 - NCT06856499RecruitingPhase 1
Cirtuvivint and Olaparib for BRCA-related ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, cirtuvivint and olaparib, for a specific type of ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemotherapy. It may be an option if you have a BRCA mutation or HRD-positive tumor and have already tried a PARP inhibitor.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06458036RecruitingPhase 2
Selpercatinib before radioactive iodine for RET-positive thyroid cancer
This study tests whether a targeted drug called selpercatinib, taken before radioactive iodine therapy, can help treat thyroid cancer in children and young adults who have a specific genetic change (RET fusion or mutation). The drug may make the cancer more sensitive to the radioactive iodine treatment that follows.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–25 - NCT07373899Enrolling by invitation
Surgery after immunotherapy to shrink lung cancer
This study looks at whether doing surgery after immunotherapy (with or without chemo) can be less invasive than originally planned. If your lung cancer shrunk enough after treatment that you might need a smaller surgery than first thought, this trial could help find the best approach.
