Targeted drug access for adults with advanced cancer
This trial helps match people with advanced, hard-to-treat cancers to targeted cancer drugs based on lab testing of their tumor. It may help if standard treatment isn’t working or isn’t available, and if your tumor has a “targetable” genetic change.
Turku, Southwest FinlandAges 18–100 - NCT05159193RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery chemotherapy and antibodies for HER2 breast cancer
This phase 3 trial compares two pre-surgery treatment plans for people with HER2-positive invasive breast cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to see which plan works better to shrink the tumor before surgery and improve outcomes.
Guandong, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05163197Recruiting
Registry for laser treatment of localized prostate cancer
This is a registry study that collects information from men with localized prostate cancer who receive transperineal laser ablation (a procedure done through the skin between the scrotum and anus). It may help doctors better understand outcomes and refine treatment choices over time.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05165407RecruitingPhase 2
Study drugs for advanced high-grade neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests whether adding three medicines—sintilimab, IBI310, and surufatinib—can control advanced, high-grade neuroendocrine tumors (that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It may help if your cancer has grown despite standard treatment, or if you cannot take standard treatment due to side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05166694Recruiting

Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05167487Recruiting
Study of treatment effects after chemotherapy and surgery for lung cancer
This trial looks at how lung tumors respond after chemotherapy given before surgery in people with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It may help doctors understand which past treatments lead to better results, since it uses medical records from approved clinical cases.
A Coruña, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT05167994RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation plus an anti-cancer drug for soft tissue sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving radiation before surgery, along with anlotinib and penpulimab, can improve treatment for localized soft tissue sarcoma. It may help shrink or control the tumor before conservative surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05169112RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone therapy to prevent prostate cancer coming back
This trial studies whether hormone therapy (also called ADT) after prostate surgery lowers the chance that prostate cancer will return. It targets people with very low PSA after surgery but with a higher predicted risk of recurrence.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05168566RecruitingPhase 2
Sutetinib for lung cancer with a specific EGFR change
This Phase 2 study tests sutetinib capsules in people with advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) non-small cell lung cancer. It’s for tumors that have a specific, uncommon EGFR mutation, and aims to see how well the drug can control the cancer with limited prior chemotherapy.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05168839RecruitingPhase 3
Using dye scans during surgery to help prevent leakage
This trial tests whether using a special dye and camera during colorectal cancer surgery can help lower the risk of a surgical “leak” where the bowel is joined. If you’re having a planned left-sided colectomy or high rectal resection, the scan may help surgeons see blood flow more clearly.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05168618RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib and atezolizumab for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests cabozantinib plus atezolizumab in people with metastatic prostate cancer that keeps growing despite hormone-blocking therapy and newer hormone drugs. It may help shrink tumors and control the disease, especially in advanced cases where options are limited.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT05168930RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib plus venetoclax for relapsed CLL or SLL
This Phase 2 study tests how well zanubrutinib (a targeted pill) combined with venetoclax (another targeted pill) works for adults with CLL/SLL that came back or progressed after prior treatment. It may help by stopping cancer cells through two different pathways, aiming to shrink disease and improve blood counts.
Scarborough, MaineAges 18 years+ - NCT05170230Recruiting
Terlipressin or carbetocin shots to reduce bleeding in fibroid surgery
This study compares two different medications given as shots during laparoscopic fibroid (myomectomy) surgery. The goal is to see which shot better reduces blood loss and helps keep hemoglobin (a blood oxygen-carrying protein) from dropping too much.
MaadiAges 16–45 - NCT05169177Recruiting
Tracking liver tumor medicine on CT during radiation
This study checks whether a special “contrast” medicine used in liver cancer can be clearly seen on CT images while you receive radiation. The goal is to better track where the medicine is during treatment, which may improve how radiation is guided.
Waratah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05170347Recruiting
Study of graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplant
This study follows people after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant to understand a complication called graft-versus-host disease. If you can attend follow-up visits, your experience and samples may be compared with a family control to look for differences.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05170815Recruiting
Spine Device Registry for Adults Getting Commercial Devices
This study is a registry that collects information about adults who use specific, commercially available spine devices. It may help doctors understand how these devices are used in real-world care and what outcomes look like over time.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05171478Recruiting
Test imaging on small lung biopsy samples during bronchoscopy
This study uses a special eye-like scanning camera (full-field optical coherence tomography) to look at tiny lung tissue samples taken during routine bronchoscopy. It may help doctors learn more from small biopsies used to diagnose or stage lung problems.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05172921Recruiting
Study of environmental factors in thyroid cancer risk
This study looks at how environmental exposures may relate to thyroid cancer. If you have a suspicious thyroid nodule and are planning surgery, your biopsy or surgical tissue may be used to understand risk factors.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05172310RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan study using a new tracer for solid tumors
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan using a new tracer (68Ga-FAPI) to help show tumors in the pancreas, bile ducts, stomach, or certain ovarian cancers. It may help doctors better see where cancer is in preparation for surgery or biopsy.
StockholmAges 19 years+ - NCT05172739RecruitingPhase 4
Opioid-free anesthesia during lung surgery for early lung cancer
This study tests whether an opioid-free pain/anesthesia plan during elective lung surgery can reduce surgical “stress” on the body and affect the immune system. You may be eligible if you have early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for a specific type of surgery (VATS lobectomy).
Heraklion, CreteAges 18–80 - NCT05173272RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo, then radiation, for advanced cervical cancer
This study tests whether adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy, then giving chemotherapy together with radiation, works better for advanced cervical cancer. It aims to improve cancer control and help people live longer, without major safety issues.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT05174286Recruiting
Phone-based coaching to help prevent colon cancer and heart disease
This study uses community health worker support by phone to help people at higher risk stay on top of recommended screening. It may help reduce colorectal cancer risk and also improve heart health.
New York, New YorkAges 45 years+ - NCT05180097RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with stem cell transplant for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pembrolizumab plus brentuximab works better than standard chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant for people whose classic Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or did not respond. It may help by improving cancer control before and around stem cell transplant and by comparing outcomes between the two treatment approaches.
Concord, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05176665RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EMB-01 for advanced stomach, bile, liver, and colon cancers
This early-phase trial studies EMB-01 in people with advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal cancers to see how well it works and how safe it is. To join, your tumor’s DNA or protein pattern (especially EGFR or cMET) must match specific lab results, and you must have tried standard treatments.
