CD19 CAR-T for children and young adults with B-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a one-time, lab-made immune cell treatment (CD19 CAR-T) for certain B-cell blood cancers in children and young adults. It may help people whose leukemia or lymphoma is not responding to standard treatment or has come back.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1 month–30 years - NCT04544969Recruiting
Testing blood markers to guide chemo for metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer
This study looks at special blood markers (CTCs) to see how sensitive your cancer is to chemotherapy and to better predict how well treatment may work. If you have metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer and can’t have local treatment, this may help match you to more effective chemo plans.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04545957Recruiting
Radiation planning study using MRI for adults with cancer
This trial tests a “master protocol” approach to use MRI (a detailed body scan) to help plan radiation treatment for people with cancer. It may help doctors customize radiation more accurately, depending on your specific cancer type.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04547166RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New targeted immune drug plus bevacizumab and chemo for colon cancer
This trial studies serplulimab (an immune-related drug) together with bevacizumab and chemotherapy to treat metastatic colorectal (colon) cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see whether this combination improves outcomes and is safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04547673Recruiting
Test an endoscopy camera tool to help diagnose throat cancer
This study checks an “intelligent” camera used during a nose-and-throat exam to improve how nasopharyngeal cancer is diagnosed. If you are eligible, your care team will compare how well the tool identifies the condition.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04546945Recruiting
Test for CD56 in newly diagnosed blood cancers
This trial looks at a marker called CD56 in people who have been newly diagnosed with a blood cancer (a hematologic malignancy). The results may help doctors better understand the disease and guide future treatment choices.
AsyutAges Any age - NCT04547725Recruiting
Surgery plus chemotherapy for stomach cancer in the belly lining
This study tests whether a thorough surgery to remove stomach cancer in the abdomen, followed by chemotherapy given through the belly and by vein, can improve outcomes. It’s for people newly diagnosed with stomach cancer that has limited spread to the belly lining.
TaipeiAges 20–75 - NCT04547777RecruitingPhase 1
Early Phase brain tumor treatment with implanted device and injections
This Phase 1 study tests a new brain-tumor treatment in people with recurrent (coming back) high-grade glioma (brain cancer). The study uses injected medicine along with an implanted tumor device and aims to find whether the treatment is safe and can shrink or control tumors.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04549688Recruiting
Active surveillance with focused ultrasound for prostate cancer
This trial studies whether a high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment can help people with localized prostate cancer while still avoiding traditional full-dose treatment for some patients. It may be an option for certain intermediate-risk cases where the cancer is confined to the prostate.
Tønsberg, VestfoldAges 18–80 - NCT04551378Recruiting
Study of how COVID affected young people with cancer
This study looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the experiences of teenagers and young adults with cancer, including people who finished treatment. It may help improve support for cancer patients and survivors during public health crises.
Houston, TexasAges 18–39 - NCT04550104RecruitingPhase 1
Durvalumab with radiation for lung cancer patients
This trial tests adding durvalumab (an immune therapy) to a radiation treatment plan for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who can’t safely have chemotherapy at the same time or surgery first. It aims to improve cancer control after radiation by helping the immune system recognize and fight the tumor.
BelfastAges 18 years+ - NCT04550845Recruiting
Study to teach genetics to men at risk for prostate cancer
This study aims to understand how men at higher risk for prostate cancer understand genetics terms, using an educational video. It may help improve patient education about genetic testing, especially for people who find these terms confusing.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40–95 - NCT04553770RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab deruxtecan with or without anastrozole for early breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether trastuzumab deruxtecan alone or combined with anastrozole can control early-stage breast cancer that is HER2-low and hormone-receptor positive. It aims to improve outcomes after initial surgical treatment by targeting cancer cells that may have low levels of HER2.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04555226Recruiting
Lymph node surgery for advanced cervical cancer
This trial studies whether removing lymph nodes during surgery helps people with stage IIICr cervical cancer. It looks at outcomes and may help guide better treatment for lymph node spread.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04556214Recruiting
Liver transplant test for certain bile duct cancers
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with a non-removable type of bile duct cancer in the liver. To be eligible, the cancer must be in the liver only (no spread), and you typically must already have had at least 6 months of treatment before being listed for transplant.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT04556916Recruiting
Early prostate cancer screening with MRI before biopsy
This study is testing an approach to find prostate cancer earlier in men who may be at higher risk. If you fit the criteria, you may get an mpMRI scan before undergoing a prostate biopsy to check for cancer.
MontpellierAges 40 years+ - NCT04557969Recruiting
Surgery and tumor testing in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)
This study looks at how surgery for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) works, and collects tumor samples to study them under the microscope and by DNA testing. Your results may help researchers better predict tumor behavior and guide future treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 years+ - NCT04558931RecruitingPhase 2
NK cell therapy to help control multiple myeloma after initial treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests using your own immune cells (NK cells) alone or with isatuximab as “maintenance” treatment to help multiple myeloma stay under control after initial therapy. It may help lengthen the time until the disease grows again by boosting your immune response and targeting myeloma cells.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT04559230RecruitingPhase 2
Treating recurrent glioblastoma with sacituzumab govitecan
This Phase 2 study tests sacituzumab govitecan in adults whose glioblastoma has come back after standard treatment (radiation plus temozolomide). It may help shrink the tumor in people whose tumor has a specific target (Trop-2).
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04559217RecruitingPhase 2
68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT for neuroblastoma imaging
This study tests how well a new PET/CT scan using 68Ga-DOTATATE can find neuroblastoma. It’s for children and young adults who are being planned for a different scan (123I-MIBG) to compare imaging results.
Montreal, QuebecAges Up to 21 years - NCT04560322RecruitingPhase 2
Test of venetoclax and obinutuzumab with or without acalabrutinib
This Phase 2 study tests venetoclax plus obinutuzumab, and whether adding acalabrutinib (or not) improves outcomes for people with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL. It aims to see which combination works best and is safe for patients whose leukemia has returned or not responded.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04561557RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cell therapy for relapsing nervous system autoimmune diseases
This early-phase trial tests CT103A “CAR-T” cell therapy to treat certain relapsing or treatment-resistant autoimmune diseases that affect the nervous system. It aims to see whether the cells are safe and may help reduce disease activity when standard treatments haven’t controlled symptoms.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT04562623Recruiting
Studying immune changes in operable breast and ovarian cancers
This study looks at how your immune system behaves around the time of planned surgery for certain breast or ovarian cancers. It may help researchers understand what immune changes happen and how they relate to your cancer.
