Vacuum dressing for healing after rectal cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether a special vacuum-type wound dressing (called negative pressure therapy) helps the surgical area heal better after removal of the rectum and anus for rectal cancer. If you've had chemotherapy and radiation before surgery, this study may help improve your recovery.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04796818Recruiting

Testing a new drug for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new study drug (SAR445877) for adults with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has worsened after at least one prior treatment. It aims to find the best dose and see if the drug can help shrink or slow the cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07161713Recruiting
Relaxation and stress reduction study for cancer survivors
This study is testing whether relaxation and stress reduction techniques can help your body heal at a cellular level. If you are a cancer survivor who finished treatment at least 6 months ago, you may be able to join.

Support program for advanced cancer patients and their caregivers
This trial offers coaching and symptom management support for people with advanced breast, GI, or melanoma cancer and their caregivers. The goal is to improve quality of life for both.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07091019Recruiting
CML patient experience study on standard TKI therapy
This study tracks the experiences and health outcomes of people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are taking approved first or second line tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) medicines. It helps doctors learn how these treatments work in everyday care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–100 - NCT07618377RecruitingPhase 1
New Drug for Gastrointestinal Tumors After Multiple Treatments
This study tests a new drug called DCC-2618 for patients with GIST (a rare stomach/intestinal cancer) who have already tried at least three other treatments. The goal is to see if this drug can slow or shrink tumors in patients whose cancer has stopped responding to standard medications.
Kashiwa, ChibaAges 18 years+ - NCT07713901Enrolling by invitation
Study of medication risk for rare thyroid cancer
This study looks at medical records to see if certain medications might be linked to a rare thyroid cancer (medullary thyroid carcinoma). You don't need to do anything new—just your existing health data will be reviewed.
Parsippany, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07712198Recruiting
AI predicts muscle loss risk in brain injury ICU patients
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict which brain injury patients in the intensive care unit are at risk for muscle loss (sarcopenia). It aims to help doctors identify and prevent this complication early.
TrabzonAges 18–65 - NCT07710807Recruiting
Comparing two prostate biopsy methods
This trial compares two ways to take a prostate biopsy (through the rectum or through the skin between the scrotum and anus) to see which is more accurate. Men with suspicious MRI findings (PI-RADS 3, 4, or 5) who haven't had prostate cancer before may be eligible.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 50–75 - NCT07711847Recruiting
Prone positioning for faster breast radiation therapy
This trial tests a personalized prone-immobilization device for partial breast radiation after surgery. It aims to make treatment more comfortable and accurate for patients who have had breast-conserving surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 40 years+ - NCT06859840Recruiting
Liver tumor detection AI study for cirrhosis patients
This trial tests an AI tool to find and classify liver tumors in people with cirrhosis or extrahepatic cancer who've had a non-contrast CT scan. You may join if you have cirrhosis or a cancer outside the liver, but not if you already have a malignant liver tumor or have had a liver transplant.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–90 - NCT05052528RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests whether adding a targeted antibody (rituximab) before CAR T cell therapy improves outcomes for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05172245RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug added to chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether adding a new targeted drug called ipatasertib to standard chemoradiation can improve treatment for people with locally advanced head and neck cancer. Ipatasertib may help block a protein that helps cancer grow, possibly making the standard therapy more effective.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06796803RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Combination therapy before surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (camrelizumab), a targeted drug (rivoceranib), and liver-directed chemotherapy (HAIC) to shrink liver tumors enough to make them removable with surgery. It is for people with intermediate or advanced liver cancer that has not spread outside the liver.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–75 - NCT07710885RecruitingPhase 3
Futibatinib for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy, futibatinib, for people with advanced or unresectable bile duct cancer who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease. It aims to see if this drug can help shrink or control the cancer.
BrisbaneAges 18 years+ - NCT07712120Recruiting

Personalized cancer vaccine for solid tumors with MRD
This trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine for people with certain cancers (bladder, stomach/esophagus, melanoma, or lung) who have no visible cancer after surgery but still have tiny bits of cancer DNA in their blood (called MRD). The vaccine is designed to train your immune system to attack any remaining cancer cells.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05592938Recruiting

ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT04857502RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tracking prostate cancer spread before lymph node surgery
This early study uses a special imaging tracer to show where prostate cancer has spread in the pelvic lymph nodes. It may help doctors better understand how well certain scans guide surgical removal of affected lymph nodes.
