Study of linvoseltamab for hard-to-treat multiple myeloma
This trial tests linvoseltamab, an experimental antibody medicine, in adults whose multiple myeloma has come back or does not respond to treatment. It may help some people by targeting myeloma cells after multiple prior therapies have failed.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03765177RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CLIC-1901 for CD19-positive blood and lymphoma cancers
This trial studies a gene-modified cell treatment called CLIC-1901 for people whose CD19-positive cancer has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink the cancer by targeting a protein called CD19 on cancer cells.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18–75 - NCT03769129Recruiting
Pembrolizumab plus lung ablation for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether combining pembrolizumab (an immune treatment) with a lung ablation procedure can be safer and more effective for advanced non-small cell lung cancer after standard first treatment fails or the cancer comes back. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT03765333Recruiting
Registering people with thyroid cancer for a study
This study is a registry that collects information about adults with certain types of thyroid cancer. It may help researchers learn more about these cancers and how people are doing over time.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03767075RecruitingPhase 2
Basket trial matching cancer patients to targeted treatments
This trial tests whether matching your tumor’s DNA/RNA results to a specific cancer medicine can work better than standard options when cancer has spread or can’t be removed by surgery. You may be assigned to a “basket” (sub-study) based on the exact changes found in your tumor.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT03769415Recruiting
Using tumor gene data to improve treatment in metastatic breast cancer
This trial studies your tumor’s gene activity and breast cancer subtype to help guide treatment choices. It mainly looks at whether analyzing “RNA expression” and tumor subtype can improve how therapy is optimized during metastatic breast cancer care.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT03769766RecruitingPhase 3
Curcumin to help keep low-risk prostate cancer from worsening
This study tests whether curcumin (a supplement made from turmeric) can prevent low-risk prostate cancer from progressing while you stay on active surveillance. If you qualify, you would take curcumin and be monitored closely with regular checkups.
Dallas, TexasAges 40–89 - NCT03778814RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized T-cell therapy for advanced lung or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment made from your own blood cells (T cells) to fight advanced lung cancer or other solid tumors. You may be eligible if your tumor can be biopsied and the lab can successfully prepare T cells that strongly recognize and attack your cancer.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03774758Recruiting
Blood tests to estimate lung cancer risk over 3 years
This study looks for blood “biomarkers” (measurable signs in blood) that may help predict who is at higher or lower risk related to lung cancer. You would have blood samples taken and then be followed with visits for up to 3 years.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT03779009Recruiting
Study mapping sentinel lymph nodes to guide colon cancer surgery
This trial looks at a minimally invasive surgery approach for people with colon adenocarcinoma that has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The team will use special mapping tests on the sentinel lymph node to better understand the cancer spread and help guide treatment decisions.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT03781531Recruiting
Blood tests to find hidden cancer after a blood clot
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or blood signs, that may help detect hidden (occult) cancer in people who recently had a blood clot in the leg or a lung clot. It may help doctors catch cancer earlier by improving detection after venous thromboembolism.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT03785574Recruiting
Treating hydatidiform mole when lung nodules might be metastasis
This study looks at different treatment approaches for hydatidiform mole when a CT scan shows lung nodules and the team cannot rule out spread. It may help guide the safest next steps and follow-up plan.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Up to 60 years - NCT03785743Recruiting
Compare keyhole vs open surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial compares two ways of doing surgery for pancreatic cancer: keyhole (small cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s meant to see which approach works better for people who are well enough for either option.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT03784924Recruiting
Prostate MRI study to find blood and urine cancer signals
This study enrolls men who may have prostate cancer but do not yet have a diagnosis. It uses prostate MRI along with blood and urine tests to see if specific signals can help identify prostate cancer sooner.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT03785288RecruitingPhase 3
Testing different schedules of vaginal radiation after hysterectomy
This trial compares different “fractionation” schedules (how often and how many treatments) of vaginal brachytherapy radiation given after surgery for certain early-stage endometrial cancer. It may help find a plan that works well while aiming to control side effects.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03786003Recruiting
Compare two lung surgery approaches for stage I lung cancer
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS) works as well as the more open approach (thoracotomy) for certain early-stage lung cancers. It may help patients and surgeons choose the best operation method for tumors that can be fully removed.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT03786796RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib for metastatic kidney cancer with specific DNA repair gene changes
This trial tests olaparib (a pill medicine) in people with kidney cancer that has spread and specific DNA “repair” gene mutations. The goal is to see whether this targeted treatment can slow the cancer or help it respond better after prior immunotherapy or blood-vessel–blocking therapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT03788213Recruiting
Shorter vs longer radiation after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares giving breast radiation over one week versus three weeks after surgery. It aims to see whether the shorter schedule works just as well and is safe for people with certain types of early breast cancer.
Kolkata, West BengalAges 18 years+ - NCT03791034Recruiting
Blood DNA test to guide treatment in early lung cancer
This trial studies a “cell-free DNA” blood test to help diagnose and guide treatment decisions for early non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors tailor care based on genetic signals seen in the blood before and around surgery.
SeoulAges 18–90 - NCT03789253Recruiting
Tracking genetic changes as low-risk prostate cancer becomes riskier
This study looks for genes and biological pathways that may explain why some men’s prostate cancer grows from low risk to higher risk. You may be followed using planned prostate biopsies after an initial low-risk diagnosis managed with active surveillance.
TaipeiAges 40–100 - NCT03790943Recruiting
Health study of heart problems in childhood cancer survivors
This study follows people who had cancer as children to learn about heart-related changes years after treatment. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk and how to monitor the heart in long-term survivors.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT03791073Recruiting
Looking for New Markers in Pancreatic Cancer
This study looks for new markers in the blood or tissue of people with a pancreatic mass that might be cancer. It uses samples from a routine biopsy or surgery to help doctors learn more about the disease.
Montpellier, MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT03792659Recruiting
Myasthenia gravis registry for storing your health data
This trial is a registry that collects your clinical information and biological samples to help researchers better understand myasthenia gravis. You may benefit indirectly by helping studies that could improve future care for people with this condition.
