New PET/MRI scan for hard-to-find pituitary tumors
This study tests a new type of PET/MRI scan that uses a special tracer (18F-FET) to better find small pituitary tumors that didn't show up on a standard MRI. The goal is to help guide surgery to remove the tumor.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT07455188Recruiting
Switching targeted therapies for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests whether switching between two targeted therapy combinations can help women with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer that has progressed after previous treatments. It aims to find a new effective option for people who have already tried one or two lines of therapy.
Zhejiang, HangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT07456605RecruitingPhase 1
Testing liposomal curcumin for multiple myeloma
This trial tests a special form of curcumin (the ingredient in turmeric) wrapped in tiny fat particles to see if it's safe and helpful for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to other treatments. It may offer an option when standard therapies are no longer effective.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07460986RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bexmarilimab plus doxorubicin for advanced soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a new drug called bexmarilimab combined with doxorubicin for people with soft-tissue sarcoma that has spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works better than doxorubicin alone.
BadalonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07461948RecruitingPhase 3
Advanced imaging study for glioblastoma patients
This trial uses special MRI scans and a contrast agent to look at the immune environment of glioblastoma tumors. It may help doctors learn more about how the tumor responds to treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07460999Recruiting
Singing training after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if singing training twice a week can help with ongoing symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue 6 to 18 months after surgery for early-stage lung cancer.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07454330Recruiting
