This study creates a real-world registry (a group database) of people with active, symptomatic multiple myeloma. It helps researchers learn from patients and doctors over time and may support future research and treatment improvements.
Florence, FirenzeAges 18 years+ - NCT05002556Recruiting
Bladder cancer follow-up registry for adults in France
This trial is a real-world registry that collects information during follow-up for certain early-stage bladder cancer. It may help doctors understand how urinary test results relate to recurrence and guide monitoring over time.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05003895RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T for solid tumors with high GPC3 protein
This early-phase trial tests a personalized CAR-T cell treatment for cancers that make a lot of a protein called GPC3. If you have advanced cancer that has already tried at least one standard treatment, and your tumor has enough GPC3, this study aims to see how well the treatment can shrink tumors and how safe it is.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05004116RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Repotrectinib plus chemotherapy for relapsed solid tumors in youth
This early-phase study tests repotrectinib (a targeted anti-cancer pill) combined with chemotherapy in children and young adults whose solid tumors have come back or did not respond to standard treatment. The goal is to see how safe the treatment is and whether it can shrink tumors.
New York, New YorkAges 1–25 - NCT05005403RecruitingPhase 1
Testing azirkitug for lung, head/neck, and other solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests how a new medicine (azirkitug) behaves in the body and how safe it is, given by IV infusion alone or with other cancer drugs. It may help people with several advanced solid tumor cancers, especially after standard treatments have stopped working.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05006482RecruitingPhase 3
Geriatric education and care support for older cancer survivors
This study tests whether a structured health education and “older adult care” approach—done with your oncology team—can improve support for people after cancer. It includes older cancer survivors and a chosen caregiver, using in-person or video visits for follow-up.
Tuscaloosa, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05007132RecruitingPhase 2
First-line metastatic colon or rectal cancer study with targeted drugs
This Phase 2 trial compares two treatment combinations as a first treatment for metastatic (spread) colon or rectal cancer. It looks to see whether one combo works better or is safer than the other.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05007379Recruiting
Testing new immune cells on breast cancer samples in the lab
This trial studies whether newly made immune cells (“CAR-macrophages”) can attack breast cancer when tested on your tumor samples grown in the lab (“organoids”). If you need surgery or a tumor biopsy as part of your usual care, your sample may be used to test this approach.
LilleAges 18–100 - NCT05008185Recruiting
Nerve interface surgery to reduce hand pain nerve tumors
This trial tests a regenerative nerve device/surgery approach to reduce painful nerve growths (neuromas) after a finger or partial hand amputation. You may qualify if you’re an adult with confirmed, localized neuroma pain and have already tried a 6-week desensitization therapy plan.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05008497Recruiting
Cancer patients’ health literacy research at a specific hospital
This study looks at patients’ health literacy—how well people understand and use health information—among adults receiving care for cancer. It’s mainly for people who are followed at a particular hospital and who agree to have their medical data used.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05008809RecruitingPhase 3
FIRE-9 trial: chemo after colon cancer metastasis removal
This trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery or ablation (destroying spots of cancer) can improve outcomes in people with metastatic colon or rectal cancer. It compares post-treatment chemotherapy strategies to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.
AmbergAges 18 years+ - NCT05009082RecruitingPhase 3
Niraparib alone or with bevacizumab for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether niraparib works better when combined with bevacizumab after chemotherapy and surgery for advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. If you qualify, you may help researchers find a treatment plan that controls the cancer for longer.
AmbergAges 18 years+ - NCT05009992RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for diffuse midline gliomas in children and young adults
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination of medicines (including ONC201/related study drugs) can better treat diffuse midline gliomas, a type of brain/spinal cord tumor that often affects the midline. You may qualify if your tumor diagnosis is confirmed and your treatment timing (before radiation, after radiation, or at recurrence) matches one of the study groups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2–39 - NCT05010005RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ruxolitinib plus duvelisib for relapsed T-cell lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests how safe and effective ruxolitinib plus duvelisib are in adults with certain types of mature T-cell lymphomas. You may be considered if your lymphoma has come back or worsened despite prior treatment, and the study checks whether this pill combination can help control the disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05009927RecruitingPhase 2
Check whether continuing imatinib works after long GIST control
This trial studies people with advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) who have been on the drug imatinib for 10 years with stable, non-growing disease. The goal is to see how effective it is to keep imatinib going after this long period.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05010122RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing venetoclax and gilteritinib with ASTX727 for FLT3 leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of medicines (ASTX727, venetoclax, and gilteritinib) for adults with FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for people whose disease has come back, is not responding, or (for some) is newly diagnosed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05010109Recruiting
Testing heart safety and fitness during lung cancer chemoradiation
This study looks at how lung cancer treatment affects the heart and whether a “walking test” and blood tests can track heart fitness and injury. It may help by improving how cancer therapy is planned and monitored for heart safety.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05010031RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose radiation for metastatic cancer with an ATM mutation
This trial tests whether giving a lower dose of radiation can help control metastatic tumors that carry a specific genetic change in the ATM gene. It may reduce side effects by using less radiation, while still aiming to keep the tumor under control.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05010356Recruiting
Testing insulin sensitivity after breast cancer treatment
This study looks at how well your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar from the blood into cells) after breast cancer treatment. It may help researchers understand whether insulin sensitivity changes after chemotherapy and could guide future health monitoring.
Copenhagen, DKAges 20–45 - NCT05010681RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus immunotherapy after prior liver cancer treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests lenvatinib combined with the immunotherapy drug sintilimab in people with advanced liver cancer who got worse after prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment. It aims to slow cancer growth and improve outcomes after immune therapy hasn’t worked.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05010772RecruitingPhase 1
Maintenance treatment study for AML in remission
This Phase 1 trial tests whether continuing decitabine alone or with other targeted drugs can help prevent AML from coming back after you reach remission. It’s designed to study safety and how well these maintenance options work for people who are not immediately able to get a stem cell transplant.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05010863Recruiting
