Vaginal DHEA for better vaginal health after pelvic radiation
This study tests whether a vaginal insert of DHEA (a hormone) can help with vaginal health problems caused by pelvic radiation for anal, rectal, or gynecologic cancers. It is for women who are already postmenopausal and are about to start radiation.
Columbus, OhioAges 50 years+ - NCT07408310Recruiting

This trial tests whether spiritual care from a chaplain helps people with advanced cancer. If you belong to a faith community and haven't seen a healthcare chaplain recently, you may be able to join.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07416240RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted immune cell therapy for Claudin18.2-positive advanced pancreatic cancer
This early-phase trial is testing a new kind of immune cell therapy—dendritic cells and CAR-T cells—that specifically targets a protein called Claudin18.2 on your cancer cells. It is for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have already tried standard treatments.
Haikou, HainanAges 18–80 - NCT07413523Recruiting
Radiation therapy plus standard care for urothelial cancer with limited spread
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation therapy to standard drug treatment can help people with urothelial cancer that has spread to a few spots (up to 3 outside the brain). If you are starting your first or second round of systemic therapy, this study may be an option.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06822868RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CT1190B for relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new treatment called CT1190B for people with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to at least two prior therapies. It aims to see if CT1190B can help when other treatments have failed or caused side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06823414Recruiting
Robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy trial
This trial tests a robotic-assisted surgery technique for women who need a mastectomy but can keep their skin and nipple. It aims to improve outcomes for breast cancer patients and those at high risk.
A Coruña, GaliciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06821880Recruiting
Tracking infections and quality of life in blood cancer patients
This study uses a smartphone or web app to track infections and quality of life in people with multiple myeloma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia who have a weakened immune system. The goal is to create a better screening tool for infections and understand how the disease and treatment affect daily life.
Innsbruck, TyroliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06821958Recruiting
Radio wave treatment for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new type of treatment using low-energy radio waves (called electromagnetic fields) for people with advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if adding this therapy can help your immune system fight the cancer better.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06818370Recruiting
Coconut oil for preventing hair loss during chemo
This trial tests whether applying coconut oil to the scalp can reduce hair loss caused by a common breast cancer chemotherapy combination (doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide). It may help women who are about to start this specific chemo regimen.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18–65 - NCT06822634Recruiting
Advanced imaging for rectal cancer treatment response
This trial uses advanced MRI scans to see how well rectal cancer is responding to radiotherapy. It may help doctors better understand which treatments work best for patients with more advanced disease.
GlasgowAges 18 years+ - NCT06823960Recruiting
Zanubrutinib for marginal zone lymphoma in Italy
This study checks how well and how safely zanubrutinib worked for people with marginal zone lymphoma who got the drug through a special access program in Italy. The goal is to learn more about the drug's real-world effects and help future patients.
Alessandria, AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05066412RecruitingPhase 1
Preventing relapse after a half-matched transplant with modified donor cells
This early-phase study tests whether giving donor immune cells (DLI) that have been “depleted” of a specific marker (CD45RA) can lower the chance of the leukemia/lymphoma coming back after a half-matched stem cell transplant. It’s meant to be preventive, not treatment for an active relapse.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT04006951Recruiting
Registry study for people with rectal cancer in Montpellier

Carbon ion radiation for adenoid cystic cancer in the head and neck
This trial tests a type of high-precision radiation (carbon ions) given to shrink head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma that cannot be fully removed with surgery. It may help control the tumor while limiting damage to nearby normal tissues.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06024187Recruiting
Cold vs. heat cutting in nipple-sparing mastectomy
This study compares two ways of cutting tissue during nipple-sparing mastectomy (breast removal with nipple preservation) followed by immediate implant reconstruction. One method uses a cold instrument, the other uses heat (electrocautery). The goal is to see which leads to better nipple survival and healing.
