Database study for colon cancer surgery patients
This study collects clinical and lab information from people who have surgery for colon cancer (or certain precancer growths) and related spread to organs. It may help researchers better understand colon cancer and improve future care, but it is not a new medication trial.

Database study for metastatic GI cancer care
This study collects clinical and lab information to better understand metastatic cancers of the digestive system and how patients respond to treatment. It may help improve future care, but it is mainly focused on collecting data rather than testing a new drug.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT04221464Recruiting
Building a database for peritoneal cancer care
This study collects medical information and small tissue or fluid samples from people with peritoneal (abdominal lining) cancer. It aims to better understand the disease and improve future care plans.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT04458792Recruiting
Builds a cancer blood-and-biomarker database after sarcoma treatment

Montpellier, HeraultAges 18 years+ - NCT04224064Recruiting
Blood test to help diagnose and predict liposarcoma
This study looks for a new blood test marker that may help doctors diagnose liposarcoma and estimate how it may behave over time. You may be asked for a blood sample and consent, and the study may follow you to see how well the test works.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT04282356RecruitingPhase 2
Test of strong chemotherapy delivered inside the abdomen
This Phase 2 trial tests an intensive treatment for advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It combines planned surgery to remove visible tumor with chemotherapy that is put directly inside the abdomen during the operation, aiming to control the cancer more effectively.
MontpellierAges 18–75 - NCT04136132Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer patient database for research
This study collects medical and lab information from adults with pancreatic cancer to help researchers understand care and outcomes. You may be asked for follow-up visits and basic data, and it may be used to improve future treatments.
Montpellier, OccAges 18 years+ - NCT04282122Recruiting
Personalized radiation plan for older women with early breast cancer
This trial uses individual measures of how sensitive your body’s tissues are to radiation to guide after-surgery breast radiation treatment. It aims to keep treatment safe and effective while tailoring the plan to each person.
Montpellier, OccAges 65 years+ - NCT04356209RecruitingPhase 2
Pravastatin for severe radiation breast scar tissue, with e-reports
This trial tests whether pravastatin can improve severe radiation-related breast scarring and breast-related quality of life. It also studies whether using an electronic patient questionnaire (e-PRO) helps patients’ outcomes and support during treatment.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06337942Recruiting
Bladder or kidney-bladder transplant from a deceased donor
This trial offers a first-in-human transplant of a bladder or a kidney combined with a bladder from a deceased donor. It is for people with severe bladder problems or bladder cancer who already need a new bladder or are on immune-suppressing medicines for a prior organ transplant.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT04516720Recruiting
Build a database of brain and spinal cord tumor cases
This study builds a large medical database of people with primary brain or spinal cord tumors treated at the Montpellier Cancer Institute. It may help researchers understand patterns of care and outcomes, which can guide future research and treatment decisions.
Montpellier, HeraultAges 18 years+ - NCT04823923Recruiting
How kidney failure affects drug levels in metastatic kidney cancer
This study looks at how chronic kidney failure changes the amount of certain cancer medicines in the blood. It involves people with metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who take pazopanib or cabozantinib, and compares drug levels in different kidney function groups.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT04744506Recruiting
Targeted removal of armpit nodes after chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial studies a more targeted surgery to remove cancer-involved lymph nodes in the armpit after you finish chemotherapy before surgery. It may help doctors better remove affected nodes while avoiding unnecessary tissue removal.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT05189496Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen to help prevent radiation-related lung injury
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen) can prevent lung inflammation caused by breast cancer radiation. It may help reduce the risk of radiation pneumonitis in certain breast cancer survivors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06084195Recruiting
Study of ovarian cancer using advanced imaging
This trial uses a special imaging technique to study high-grade serous ovarian cancer. It aims to better understand the tumor to improve treatment. If you have advanced ovarian cancer and are scheduled for surgery, you may be eligible.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06051760RecruitingPhase 1
NV-001 for advanced solid tumors after standard treatments
This trial tests a new drug called NV-001 for people with advanced solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help shrink or slow tumor growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06293651RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of DA-4505 alone or with pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called DA-4505, given alone or with another drug (pembrolizumab), for people with advanced solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread. The goal is to see if it is safe and works against the cancer.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06144762Recruiting
Precision imaging for early detection and treatment monitoring in pancreatic cancer
This trial uses advanced imaging to detect pancreatic cancer early and track how well treatment is working. It may help if you have pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed, either right away or after chemotherapy.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07416188RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
LMP744 drug for returning glioblastoma
This trial tests an experimental drug called LMP744 for people whose glioblastoma has come back. It aims to see if the drug can slow or stop tumor growth by targeting specific proteins in cancer cells.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT07412002Recruiting
