Tarlatamab for extensive stage small-cell lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called tarlatamab for people newly diagnosed with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). The goal is to see if tarlatamab can help shrink or control the cancer.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07417085Recruiting
Study of gut bacteria in children with brain tumors
This study looks at how gut bacteria (the microbiome) may differ in children with brain tumors. Researchers will collect samples before and after surgery to understand the connection between gut health and brain tumors.
Florence, FirenzeAges 3–18 - NCT07422779Recruiting
Immunotherapy for advanced melanoma study
This study tests how well immunotherapy drugs like pembrolizumab and nivolumab work for people with advanced melanoma that has spread. It aims to find markers that predict treatment response.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07417488RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine therapy for advanced colorectal and small bowel cancer
This trial tests a vaccine therapy for people with advanced colorectal or small bowel cancer that has spread or can't be removed. The vaccine targets a protein found on cancer cells to help your immune system fight the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07417202Recruiting
Wound washing during surgery for pilonidal disease
This trial tests a special way of washing out the wound during surgery to treat pilonidal disease. It aims to help reduce infection or other problems after surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 8 months–30 years - NCT07424664RecruitingPhase 2
Combination targeted drug and immunotherapy for recurrent gynecologic cancers
This trial tests a combination of two new drugs—becotatug vedotin (targeted therapy) and zimberelimab (immunotherapy)—in people with recurrent or metastatic cervical, vulvar, or vaginal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination works after standard treatments like platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy have been tried.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07422597Recruiting
MRI or risk calculator for suspected prostate cancer
This trial compares using an upfront MRI versus a risk calculator to decide who needs a prostate biopsy. It may help men with suspected localized prostate cancer avoid unnecessary biopsies.
LevangerAges 50–75 - NCT07417605Recruiting
Using a new PET scan to tell cancer from inflammation after radiation
This study uses a special PET scan to tell the difference between leftover cancer and inflammation caused by radiation in people treated for head and neck cancer. It may help doctors know if more treatment is needed.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT07416630Recruiting
Web app for tracking radiation side effects in cancer patients
This study is testing a web-based app to help track side effects from radiation therapy in people with gynecologic, urologic, or breast cancer. If you join, you would use the app on your phone or computer to report how you're feeling, which may help your care team better manage your symptoms.
