PET/MRI scan test to predict outcomes in endometrial cancer
This trial studies whether special scans (PET/MRI) can help predict how well endometrial cancer patients will do. You may be asked to get these scans before surgery, and your results may help classify your cancer risk.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04363983Recruiting
Study of immune and tumor interactions in digestive cancers
This study looks at how tumors in the digestive system interact with the body’s immune system and the surrounding environment. Results may help improve understanding of these cancers and guide future treatments.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT04340024Recruiting
Testing blood markers linked to how well radiation works
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or measurable signs (often from blood or samples), that may show which cancers respond better to radiation therapy. It may help doctors choose radiation treatment more precisely, especially for people who had significant side effects before.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT04796012RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo for children with recurrent solid tumors
This trial tests whether a cancer immunotherapy medicine (atezolizumab) given together with chemotherapy can shrink or control solid tumors that have come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It focuses on children and young adults, including a special subgroup for rhabdomyosarcoma.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 6 months–30 years - NCT04790682Recruiting
Liquid blood test to predict first immunotherapy response
This trial tests whether a “liquid biopsy” blood test can help predict how well first immunotherapy will work for people with stage IV lung cancer. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment strategy sooner.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT06580002RecruitingPhase 2
Can Riluzole Help with Chemo Brain? A Pilot Study
This study tests if a medicine called riluzole (currently used for ALS) can help with 'chemo brain' – memory and thinking problems after cancer treatment. It is for people who feel their mental sharpness has declined after breast cancer therapy, certain chemotherapies, or brain radiation.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05132283Recruiting
Lymph node removal for urologic cancers with advanced imaging
This study uses a special MRI scanner in the operating room to help guide lymph node removal during surgery for urologic cancers like bladder, prostate, testicular, kidney, urethral, or penile cancer. It aims to see if this real-time imaging can make the surgery more precise.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07702708Recruiting
AI predicts chemotherapy response in HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial uses AI to analyze your pre-treatment MRI and predict how well your tumor will respond to chemotherapy before surgery. It is for people with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who need chemo before their operation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07583654RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a New mRNA Cancer Treatment for Advanced Solid Tumors
This early-stage trial tests a new mRNA-based drug designed to help your immune system fight advanced cancers that haven't responded to standard treatments. The study measures safety, tolerability, and whether it can slow or shrink your tumor.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–70 - NCT07701733Recruiting
Lung cancer risk study for women who never smoked
This study looks at lung cancer risk in women who have never smoked. It aims to understand why some never-smokers develop lung cancer while others don't.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 40–74 - NCT03847649RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab for cancer after stopping immune therapy due to side effects
This Phase 2 trial tests whether durvalumab (an immunotherapy) can still help treat advanced cancer after you had to stop an earlier immune checkpoint medicine because of immune-related side effects. If you’re already on a durvalumab-based study, Substudy B also looks at continuing durvalumab (with or without tremelimumab) when it’s safe for you.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07703033Recruiting
Heart Impact Study for Breast Cancer Radiotherapy
This study looks at how information about the heart may affect treatment decisions for people receiving radiation therapy for breast cancer. It aims to help reduce heart-related side effects from treatment.
CopenhagenAges 35 years+ - NCT07703813Recruiting
Energy use and nutrition after pancreas surgery
This study measures how your body uses energy after pancreas surgery to improve nutrition care. It may help doctors better support your recovery.
Athens, AtticaAges 18–75 - NCT07702838Recruiting
Immunotherapy and carbon ion radiation for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that combines immunotherapy (drugs that help your immune system fight cancer) with carbon ion radiation (a precise type of radiation) for people with locally advanced cervical cancer that hasn't spread to other organs. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06964906RecruitingPhase 2
HIFU, immunotherapy, and chemo for ER+ HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU, a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to heat and destroy tumor tissue) with the immunotherapy drug toripalimab and standard chemotherapy before surgery for women with a specific type of breast cancer (ER-positive, HER2-negative). The goal is to see if this approach can improve treatment outcomes for women with high-risk disease.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07703761Recruiting
AI analysis of brain tumor MRI scans
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze MRI scans from people diagnosed with a type of brain tumor called glioma. It aims to better understand the cancer from diagnosis through treatment, which could help guide future care.
TrentoAges 18–60 - NCT07178301RecruitingPhase 2
Lower radiation dose for HPV-related throat cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of radiation to the neck is safe and effective for people with HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. It may reduce side effects while still treating the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07702162RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PA5 in advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called PA5 for people with advanced solid tumors that no longer respond to standard treatments. The goal is to see if PA5 is safe and how well it works against these cancers.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT03374267Recruiting
Urologic cancer registry study
This registry study collects information from people with different types of advanced or high-risk urologic cancers. It helps doctors learn more about how these cancers are treated in real life.

Study of surufatinib, serplulimab, chemo for neuroendocrine carcinoma
This trial tests a combination of two targeted therapies (surufatinib and serplulimab) plus standard chemotherapy (platinum and etoposide) for people with a rare, aggressive type of cancer called neuroendocrine carcinoma that started outside the lung. The goal is to see if this new combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07700992Recruiting
A blood test to find pancreatic cancer early
This study uses stored blood samples from people at higher risk for pancreatic cancer (due to family history or certain pancreatic cysts) to see if a simple blood test can detect the disease early or help monitor it over time.
