Tested a targeted drug plus fewer cancers treatments for children
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a targeted medicine that blocks MEK can work better than chemotherapy for certain slow-growing brain tumors in children. You may qualify if your tumor has specific genetic features and has not already been treated with non-surgery therapies.
AmiensAges 1 month–25 years - NCT05180864Recruiting
Omentum saving surgery versus full removal in stomach cancer
This study compares two ways of doing surgery for gastric (stomach) cancer: saving the omentum versus removing it completely. It may help doctors learn which approach is safer and works better for cancer control and recovery.
MainzAges 18 years+ - NCT05180942Recruiting
Statins and heart plaque changes in people with melanoma on immunotherapy
This trial studies whether taking a cholesterol medicine called a statin can slow the buildup or worsening of coronary artery plaque in people with melanoma who are receiving checkpoint inhibitor (immunotherapy) treatment. It mainly looks at heart scans over time to see if statins change the progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
Kingswood, New South WalesAges 40 years+ - NCT05181033RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus letrozole versus fulvestrant for metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 2 study compares a combination medicine (lenvatinib plus letrozole) against fulvestrant to treat metastatic estrogen-receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer after the cancer has grown despite hormone therapy plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor. It may help by finding a more effective treatment option after your first lines have stopped working.
SingaporeAges 18–99 - NCT05182944RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative immunotherapy plus chemotherapy for resectable throat cancer
This trial studies whether adding camrelizumab (an immune system drug) to chemotherapy before and around surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). If you are eligible, treatment is given around the time of planned surgery to remove the tumor and lymph nodes.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT05182164RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus cabozantinib for advanced sarcoma patients
This Phase 2 trial studies whether combining pembrolizumab and cabozantinib can control advanced sarcoma that can’t be removed by surgery and has grown or returned after standard treatment. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in adults who have limited treatment options left.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05182957RecruitingPhase 2
Study of anti-PD-1, lenalidomide, and azacitidine for PTCL
This trial tests a combination of three medicines (anti-PD-1, lenalidomide, and azacitidine) for adults with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) that is measurable or growing. It aims to shrink lymphoma and improve control of the disease when standard treatments haven’t worked or have stopped working.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05183048RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Test a new PET scan to find head and neck cancer
This early-phase study compares a special imaging marker with a standard PET scan to help identify head and neck squamous cell carcinoma before surgery. It may help doctors see where cancer is (especially if lymph nodes look negative) so surgery planning can be more accurate.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05183074Recruiting
MRI-guided focused radiation for prostate cancer
This trial tests a newer way to plan and deliver radiation for prostate cancer using real-time MRI guidance. It may help by aiming high-dose treatment precisely while treating nearby disease and (in some cases) limited metastatic spots.
