Repeat breast-conserving surgery with partial reirradiation
This trial tests a new approach for women whose breast cancer has returned in the same breast after earlier surgery and radiation. Instead of removing the whole breast, doctors will remove only the tumor again and give a small, focused dose of radiation before surgery, aiming to preserve the breast.
AmsterdamAges 50 years+ - NCT04301076RecruitingPhase 1
Testing lenalidomide with EPOCH for adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma
This trial tests whether adding lenalidomide to a standard chemotherapy regimen (EPOCH) helps people with adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATLL). It aims to improve how well the treatment works.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06662058Recruiting
Remote hearing test for head and neck cancer patients on cisplatin or radiation
This study tests a remote hearing test to monitor hearing changes in patients with head and neck cancer getting cisplatin chemotherapy and/or radiation. The goal is to catch hearing loss early so treatment can be adjusted.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06047379RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing NEO212 for brain tumors and metastases
This trial tests a new drug called NEO212 for people with certain brain tumors (like astrocytoma or glioblastoma) or cancer that has spread to the brain from other parts of the body. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help shrink or control the tumors.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05350722Recruiting
Single pre-surgery radiation for low-risk breast cancer
This trial tests a single, shorter course of radiation given before breast surgery for people with low-risk, hormone-receptor–positive breast cancer. It may help treat the breast tumor while reducing the number and length of radiation treatments.
SydneyAges 40 years+ - NCT05705492RecruitingPhase 2
Olanzapine to help cancer-related weight and appetite loss
This Phase 2 trial tests whether olanzapine can help people with advanced cancer who are losing weight and not eating enough. It looks for improvements in appetite and weight while you receive your first-line palliative cancer treatment.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT07677254Recruiting
Real world study of prostate cancer treatments
This study looks at real-world data from men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) to understand what treatments they receive and how they do. It may help doctors learn more about which treatments work best.
East Hanover, New JerseyAges 18–115 - NCT04968834Recruiting
Collecting children’s and young adults’ blood and marrow for genetic testing
This study collects and stores blood and bone marrow samples from young people with certain blood cancers so doctors can do genetic (“genomic”) testing now and in the future. It may help improve understanding of the disease and support better matching of care for patients.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges Up to 30 years - NCT07554456RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New Drug Combination for Advanced Esophageal Cancer
This trial tests a new drug called BL-B01D1 combined with an immune therapy (tislelizumab) and sometimes chemotherapy against standard chemotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this new combination works better and is safer than current treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07189195RecruitingPhase 1
TR-002 for advanced solid tumors and pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called TR-002 in people with advanced solid tumors (cancer that has spread) who have run out of standard treatment options. It includes a specific group for people with pancreatic cancer that is no longer responding to chemotherapy.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07617610Recruiting
Understanding Treatment Resistance in BRAF-Mutated Colorectal Cancer
This study looks at why some people with a specific type of colorectal cancer (BRAF V600E-mutated) stop responding to targeted drugs over time. Researchers will take small tissue samples before and during your treatment with anti-EGFR antibody and BRAF inhibitor to understand resistance and help improve future treatments.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT07365423RecruitingPhase 2
Terbinafine for prostate cancer with rising PSA
This trial tests if the antifungal drug terbinafine can lower PSA levels in men whose prostate cancer has returned after standard treatments, but who are not yet ready for hormone therapy. It is for men with no distant spread seen on scans except possibly small lymph nodes.
BadenAges 18 years+ - NCT07708012Enrolling by invitation
Laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery for early stomach cancer
This trial studies a combined surgical approach using a camera through small incisions (laparoscopy) and a flexible tube through the mouth (endoscopy) to treat early-stage stomach cancer. It aims to see if this approach can safely remove the cancer while sparing nearby lymph nodes.
