Telemonitoring to manage side effects from immunotherapy
This trial tests whether using home digital monitoring (telemonitoring) can help people with melanoma, lung, or kidney (renal) cancer manage side effects while on immunotherapy. It may help catch side effects earlier and support you during treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab or nivolumab alone.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT04605913RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new combination chemo plus portable TTF therapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs plus a portable TTF device (TTF-100L) to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help by trying to shrink or control the cancer in people who haven’t already had treatment specifically for stage IV metastatic disease.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04605770RecruitingPhase 2
Pemetrexed and cisplatin for advanced soft tissue cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pemetrexed plus cisplatin can shrink advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. It may help people whose cancer has spread and who can safely receive chemotherapy.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04608357Recruiting
Testing digital patient avatars to guide treatment for metastatic breast cancer
This study tests whether a computer “avatar” made from your health information can help choose the best systemic therapy (medications that treat cancer throughout the body) for metastatic breast cancer. You may be asked to provide a tissue sample (biopsy) so the team can build and guide the treatment plan.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04609072Recruiting
Cancer prevention program for adults ages 30 to 70
This trial is a low-risk cancer prevention study that enrolls adults to help support healthier choices and early prevention efforts. It may help you stay on track with prevention guidance through participating healthcare programs.
Denver, ColoradoAges 30–70 - NCT04611113Recruiting
Nutrition support to help tolerance of cancer chemoradiotherapy
This trial studies whether adding special nutrition support (“immunonutrition”) can help people with head-and-neck cancer tolerate treatment with chemoradiotherapy, and possibly improve comfort and treatment completion. You may be eligible if you are starting or will have curative or extra (adjuvant) chemoradiotherapy and can complete study measurements.
PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT04612907Recruiting
Radiation timing options for low-burden metastatic prostate cancer
This study compares different radiation schedules to the main prostate tumor in men with low-burden metastatic (spread) hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It may help find a radiation timing approach that controls the cancer while balancing side effects.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT04612075Recruiting
PET-MR scan study for head and neck squamous cancer
This study uses a combined PET/MR scan to better look at head and neck squamous cell cancer before or during treatment. It may help doctors see where the cancer is and how far it has spread, to support planning for curative radiation treatment.
TromsøAges 18 years+ - NCT04613570Recruiting
Follow-up endoscopy plan for early stomach changes
This study looks at how often and how intensely to do follow-up stomach camera exams (endoscopy) with small biopsies for people at risk of stomach cancer. It may help personalize your follow-up schedule based on your specific stomach findings.
PortoAges 45 years+ - NCT04613349Recruiting
MRI before first parotid tumor surgery
This study tests whether a special MRI scan (with a contrast dye) can help doctors better plan surgery for tumors in the salivary gland near the facial nerve. It may help surgical planning while avoiding unnecessary repeat imaging.
Paris, PARISAges 18 years+ - NCT04614103RecruitingPhase 2
Immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer after chemotherapy
This trial studies LN-145, a treatment made from your own immune cells, for metastatic (stage IV) non-small-cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors after your cancer has progressed despite standard first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–70 - NCT04614480RecruitingPhase 2
Genetic test on tumor to guide cancer treatment choices
This trial looks at the tumor’s DNA to help doctors choose the best next treatment for people with advanced cancer. It’s testing whether this “exome” genetic analysis can improve therapeutic decisions for newly treated metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04614194RecruitingPhase 2
Blood and tumor markers to test response to abemaciclib
This trial studies how the immune system and other body signals in blood and tumor tissue relate to how well abemaciclib works before breast cancer surgery. The goal is to learn who benefits most from this medicine and why.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04615143RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab with or without lenvatinib before liver surgery
This trial studies whether taking tislelizumab alone or with lenvatinib before surgery can shrink recurrent liver cancer and improve outcomes. It may help by treating the cancer earlier (before the tumor is removed).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04615988Recruiting
Vitamin D levels and hormone side effects from immune cancer therapy
This study looks at whether your blood vitamin D level is linked to hormone-related side effects caused by immune checkpoint cancer drugs. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and how to monitor patients during treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04616495Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer that can’t be removed
This trial studies liver transplantation for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if transplant can improve outcomes when the cancer is limited to the liver.
ValenciaAges 18–65 - NCT04616131Recruiting
Testing ctDNA as a marker in pancreatic cancer treatment
This trial is studying a blood test that looks for tumor DNA (ctDNA) to see if it can help predict how well treatment is working in people with pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread. It is for patients getting chemotherapy before possible surgery.
DeKalb, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04616209RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer
This early-phase study tests immune cells given from a matched donor to treat advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. It aims to see how safe the treatment is and whether it can help control the cancer.
TaipeiAges 20–70 - NCT04616300Recruiting
Exercise program to support brain function during breast cancer chemo
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can help protect or improve thinking and memory in people with breast cancer while they are starting chemotherapy after surgery. It may help with “chemo brain” by targeting brain function during treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT04616443RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Melanoma trial testing a new injection with anti–PD-1 therapy
This trial studies OH2 injection given directly into a melanoma tumor, combined with HX008, to see if it can shrink tumors after standard treatments—including PD-1—did not work. It may help people with advanced melanoma, especially when there is a reachable tumor for injection.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04617756RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus chemo before surgery for high-risk upper urinary tract cancer
This trial studies whether durvalumab (an immunotherapy) given with chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk cancer in the kidney pelvis or ureter. It is mainly looking at safety and effectiveness in shrinking or controlling the cancer before treatment continues.
Paris, Paris Cx 20Ages 18 years+ - NCT04617522RecruitingPhase 1
Sacituzumab govitecan for advanced cancers with moderate liver issues
This Phase 1 study tests how safe and tolerable sacituzumab govitecan is for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who also have moderate liver impairment. It aims to find the right dosing so the treatment can be used more safely in this liver-risk group.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04620187RecruitingPhase 2
Study medicine T-DM1 after surgery for HER2-positive salivary cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies T-DM1 given after surgery for salivary gland cancer that is HER2-positive. The goal is to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back by targeting HER2-positive tumor cells.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04621201Recruiting
Testing tumor genetics in young people with bone sarcomas
This study looks at the genetic (DNA) features of tumors in children, teens, and young adults with osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, or synovial sarcoma. It may help researchers better understand these cancers by analyzing a fresh tumor sample and a blood sample.
