This study tests tools to help people talk with employers and medical staff about breast cancer treatment while working. It aims to improve how treatment and job needs are discussed so patients can get support.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–64 - NCT03577197Recruiting
Breast cancer registry for advanced disease in southeast Netherlands
This trial is a cancer registry, meaning your medical information is collected and stored for people with advanced breast cancer. It can help researchers learn from real-world care patterns and outcomes across multiple hospitals in southeast Netherlands.
MaastrichtAges 18 years+ - NCT03579836RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test BEY1107 plus gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer
This early study tests whether BEY1107 given alone or with gemcitabine can be used safely and may help shrink pancreatic cancer tumors. It mainly looks at safety, side effects, and signs of effectiveness in people with pancreatic ductal cancer.
SeoulAges 20–80 - NCT03582189Recruiting
MRI guidance during treatment for pancreas or liver cancers
This trial studies using MRI scans to guide radiation therapy for locally advanced pancreas cancer or liver cancer. It may help make radiation planning more precise, either to control the cancer or to ease symptoms.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03582124RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Panitumumab dye to help find lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a special dye drug (panitumumab-IRDye800) that may help surgeons better see lung cancer areas while operating. If it works, it could improve how well cancer tissue is found and removed during planned lung surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT03587480Recruiting
Surgery methods after chemo-radiation for stage 3 rectal cancer
This trial compares two different surgery approaches after chemo-radiation for stage 3 rectal cancer. It aims to see which operation helps control the cancer more effectively while keeping surgery as safe as possible.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03586609RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for older adults with untreated AML
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of venetoclax, cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and azacitidine in people with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It may help shrink the leukemia and improve blood counts by trying a stronger, multi-drug approach.
Houston, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT03589729RecruitingPhase 2
Dexrazoxane to help protect the heart during blood-cancer chemo
This Phase 2 study tests dexrazoxane, a heart-protecting medicine, to reduce heart side effects from chemotherapy in people with certain blood cancers. If you qualify, you would receive dexrazoxane along with chemotherapy, and the team will monitor your heart function closely.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT03587844RecruitingPhase 2
Test dosing of brentuximab for skin lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests how brentuximab vedotin should be dosed for people with mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome (skin T-cell lymphoma), and also for lymphomatoid papulosis. It may help improve how well the treatment works while tracking side effects.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03590171RecruitingPhase 2
Study for children with relapsed high-risk ALL
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment approach for children with high-risk ALL that has returned. It aims to improve outcomes after relapse by using a planned treatment schedule.
Clayton, VictoriaAges Up to 17 years - NCT03591276RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Doxorubicin plus pembrolizumab for hormone-resistant breast cancer
This Phase 1b/2 trial tests a combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and pembrolizumab for breast cancer that no longer responds to hormone treatment. It aims to see how well the combination works and how safely it can be given to patients with advanced disease.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT03592472RecruitingPhase 3
Testing pazopanib with or without abexinostat for kidney cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies how well pazopanib works, and whether adding abexinostat can improve outcomes, for advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. You may qualify if you have clear cell renal cell carcinoma and have not already had certain targeted kidney-cancer medicines.

Testing an oral drug for GIST or other solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests HQP1351, a new oral cancer drug, in people with advanced GIST or other solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatment. It’s mainly designed to check safety and how the drug works in the body, which may lead to better options for tumors that have progressed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 12 years+ - NCT03596086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug plus radiation and chemo for recurrent brain cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether combining an HSV-tk “gene switch” treatment, valacyclovir tablets, focused radiation (SBRT), and chemotherapy can help people with recurrent glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth after standard treatments have already been tried.
