Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 65 years+ - NCT04181970Recruiting
Study of sarcoma care quality across Europe and Latin America
This observational study looks at information from people with sarcoma to understand how care is delivered across different centers. It does not test a new treatment, but may help improve future care and planning.
Buenos AiresAges 18–120 - NCT03671044RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a nano-form of docetaxel for triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether a special form of docetaxel (a chemotherapy drug) works better and is safe for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or grown locally. You may be eligible if your cancer is triple-negative and you have measurable disease that can be tracked on scans, along with adequate organ and heart function.
Columbus, GeorgiaAges 18–65 - NCT05146440RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug PM14 alone and with radiation for soft-tissue sarcoma
This early-phase study tests PM14 (a new cancer treatment) to see if it can shrink tumors in soft-tissue sarcoma. Some people also receive radiation, aiming to improve tumor control while keeping side effects manageable.
Zaragoza, AragonAges 18–75 - NCT03818503Recruiting
Study of European radiotherapy infrastructure for cancer care
This study looks at how radiotherapy (radiation treatment for cancer) is planned and delivered across participating centers in Europe. If you may need radiotherapy, this research may help improve how cancer radiation care is organized and provided.
GrazAges 12 years+ - NCT05044689Recruiting
Study to find risk factors for breast and colon cancer
This study is trying to understand what factors might raise the risk of breast cancer and colon (large bowel) cancer. You may be enrolled either if you have a confirmed cancer diagnosis (cases) or if you do not have cancer (controls).
Ile-Ife, Osun StateAges Any age - NCT05970016RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study for advanced solid cancers with a DNA repair target
This Phase I/II trial tests an investigational treatment in people with advanced solid tumors that have grown despite standard therapy, or where standard options aren’t available. In later Phase II, the trial mainly enrolls patients whose tumor shows a specific DNA repair problem (DDR defect).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05686499Recruiting
Colonoscopy training for early colorectal cancer detection
This trial supports training for healthcare professionals to improve screening and early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. It may help by building skills in safely performing colonoscopies and spotting cancer earlier.
Ile-Ife, Osun StateAges 18 years+ - NCT06245746RecruitingPhase 1
Exosomes for low blood counts after chemo in leukemia
This trial tests whether umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes can help restore blood cell counts after chemotherapy in adults with acute myeloid leukemia who are in remission. It aims to reduce the risk of infection and bleeding while waiting for bone marrow recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–60 - NCT05867966Recruiting
Testing a hypnosis-based program for symptom clusters in cancer
This trial studies whether a hypnosis-based approach can help reduce a selected set of troubling symptoms in people who have finished treatment for certain early-stage (non-metastatic) cancers. It aims to understand which symptom patterns improve and how well the intervention works.
LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT06889649RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT plus immunotherapy and targeted therapy for kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (axitinib) and immunotherapy (toripalimab) alongside stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for kidney cancer that has come back or spread. It may be an option if you have a limited number of metastatic tumors that can be treated with radiation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06823427RecruitingPhase 2
9MW2821 with or without immunotherapy for advanced urothelial cancer
This trial tests a combination of an investigational drug (9MW2821) with an immunotherapy (toripalimab) against 9MW2821 alone for people with advanced urothelial cancer who have not yet received any systemic treatment. The goal is to see if the combination works better than the single drug.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT06855680Recruiting
EMIRATES: Observing low-risk thyroid cancer without completion surgery
