This trial looks at whether clusters of tumor cells in the blood can give more information about high-risk early breast cancer. It is for people with certain types of breast cancer who are about to start treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy).
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07420517RecruitingPhase 2
Dutasteride for low-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests if the drug dutasteride can help people with a slow-growing type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle wall. It may be an option for those not receiving other standard treatments like BCG therapy or chemotherapy directly into the bladder.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07417397RecruitingPhase 3
TACE after surgery for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests whether a liver-directed treatment called TACE (transarterial chemoembolization) after surgery can help prevent liver cancer from coming back in people with high-risk features.
NanningAges 18–70 - NCT07424560Recruiting
Bladder Cancer DNA Testing Study
This study looks for specific DNA changes in bladder cancer tumors using a precise test. It aims to better understand the disease and may help guide future treatment choices.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT07418060Recruiting
Pre-surgery therapy to improve shoulder function after breast reconstruction
This trial tests whether doing physiotherapy and using a device that gently vibrates the shoulder before surgery can reduce pain and improve shoulder movement after breast reconstruction using a latissimus dorsi flap. It might help you recover faster and have less discomfort.
Bordeaux, AquitaineAges 18 years+ - NCT07416682RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for high-risk plasma cell cancers
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR-T) that targets two markers on high-risk plasma cell cancers. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and helpful for people with aggressive or resistant forms of this disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07416513Recruiting
Digital tools for better cancer care
This study explores how digital tools (apps or websites) can help people affected by cancer, including patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers. If you are a current or past cancer patient, a caregiver, or an oncology professional, you may be able to join.
CaenAges 12 years+ - NCT07417761RecruitingPhase 2
Tuvusertib for astrocytoma with ATRX mutation
This trial tests an oral drug called tuvusertib for people with a specific type of astrocytoma (a brain tumor) that has an ATRX mutation. The goal is to see if the drug can help when the tumor has gotten worse after standard treatments like radiation and chemotherapy.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT07424157Recruiting
Long-term gene therapy follow-up study
This study follows patients who received gene therapy at Seattle Children's Hospital to check on their health and safety over time. It helps doctors understand how well the treatment works in the long run.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Any age - NCT07422753RecruitingPhase 2
TACE with immunotherapy drugs for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of TACE (a procedure that blocks blood supply to the tumor) plus three immunotherapy drugs (sintilimab, bevacizumab, ipilimumab) for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better than TACE alone.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07423169Recruiting
Partial tumor radiation plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests combining partial tumor radiation with immunotherapy for people with advanced lung adenocarcinoma who cannot have surgery or standard radiation. It may help those whose cancer has stopped responding to previous treatments.
Krems, AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07418437Enrolling by invitation
