This study tests whether specially trained dogs can detect bladder cancer by smelling urine samples. It aims to find a fast, non-invasive way to screen for the disease.
ColmarAges 18 years+ - NCT07339774RecruitingPhase 2
Traditional Chinese medicine for mouth sores from radiation
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine can help prevent or reduce the severity of mouth sores caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you are scheduled to get radiation for non-spreading head or neck cancer, this treatment might help protect your mouth.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–65 - NCT07337850Recruiting
Testing 68Ga-FAPI PET scan in biliary cancers
This trial is testing a new type of PET scan (called 68Ga-FAPI) to see if it can better detect biliary tract cancers, including advanced or recurring gallbladder cancer and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. It may help doctors find cancer more accurately, which could guide better treatment decisions.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–90 - NCT07338006Recruiting
Chest wall reconstruction study
This trial studies patients who need surgery to rebuild part of their chest wall after a defect. It looks at how well different reconstruction methods work, especially for larger defects that can't be simply closed.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07339254Recruiting
Survey about immunotherapy for lung cancer patients
This study is a survey to learn about the experiences and feelings of people with non-small cell lung cancer who are taking immunotherapy drugs. The goal is to understand how you're doing on treatment, which can help improve care for others.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07337460RecruitingPhase 2
Icaritin plus chemotherapy for high-risk liver cancer after surgery
This trial tests combining a natural compound (Icaritin) with standard chemotherapy (mFOLFOX) after liver cancer surgery to lower the chance of the cancer coming back. It is for patients whose cancer had certain high-risk features, like a large tumor or cancer in blood vessels.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06060782RecruitingPhase 1
Chemo combo for high-risk blood cancer transplant patients
This trial tests a combination of drugs (thiotepa, cyclophosphamide, clarithromycin, and cytarabine) before a stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain types of blood cancer who have responded well to earlier treatment.
