Study of a drug combo for newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (belantamab mafodotin, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone) for people newly diagnosed with AL amyloidosis who cannot have a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective at stopping the abnormal proteins from damaging your organs.

Trial for AML treatments and preventing graft-versus-host disease
This trial tests different chemotherapy induction, consolidation (follow-up treatment), and strategies to prevent complications after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It aims to improve overall survival and reduce serious transplant side effects like graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
AmiensAges 18–61 - NCT07225621RecruitingPhase 2
Light and sound therapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests a new approach that uses a light-sensitive drug and low-intensity ultrasound to make standard chemotherapy more effective for glioblastoma. If you have completed initial treatment with radiation and temozolomide without the tumor growing, you may be eligible.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07250204Recruiting
Testing nipple discharge to tell benign from malignant breast disease
This study uses a blood test and a sample of nipple discharge to see if it can help doctors tell the difference between non-cancerous and cancerous conditions in the breast ducts. It aims to find a better way to diagnose intraductal disease without needing surgery right away.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04879043RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety study of HDP-101 for relapsed myeloma patients
This early-phase trial tests whether HDP-101 is safe and can potentially help adults with multiple myeloma that has come back or didn’t respond to standard treatments. It focuses on people who have already tried key myeloma medicines and still have measurable disease.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06070376Recruiting
Comparing two stents for esophageal cancer swallowing problems
This study compares two types of stents (metal tubes) placed in the esophagus to help people with advanced esophageal cancer swallow more easily. Both stents are designed to keep the esophagus open and improve quality of life.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06067269RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy and precise radiation for intermediate-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether giving a short course of hormone therapy (apalutamide) along with targeted, high-dose radiation (SBRT) is safe and effective for men with a specific type of intermediate-risk prostate cancer. You may benefit if you fit the exact risk and test criteria.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04469764RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib for certain recurrent ovarian or endometrial cancers
This Phase 2 study tests abemaciclib, a targeted pill treatment, for recurrent ovarian or endometrial cancer that shows specific tumor genetic patterns. It may help slow or control cancer growth in people whose tumor matches the required test results.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05535192Recruiting
Telehealth strength exercise to help older women during breast cancer chemo
This study tests whether a supervised at-home (telehealth) strength exercise program can help older women stay strong and keep their chemotherapy on schedule. It’s meant for women who are starting chemotherapy for breast cancer with the goal of cure.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT04122456Recruiting
Study of skin DNA repair in day vs night shift workers
This study compares how well your skin repairs DNA damage in people who mainly work day shifts versus night shifts. It may help researchers understand whether shift work affects skin health and how the skin responds over time.
Fairborn, OhioAges 18–40 - NCT05799274RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of a new PET imaging drug for cancers
This Phase 1 study tests how safe RAD301 is and how it behaves in the body when given for PET imaging in healthy volunteers and people with certain cancers. It may help doctors learn whether this imaging drug can clearly show cancer areas and be tolerated well.
Princeton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06461988RecruitingPhase 2
Talquetamab and lenalidomide after stem cell transplant for myeloma
This trial tests combining two drugs, talquetamab and lenalidomide, as maintenance therapy after a stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma. The goal is to see if this combination helps keep the cancer from coming back.
