SalzburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05256225RecruitingPhase 3
Adding Herceptin medicines to chemo for HER2-positive endometrial cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo to standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for HER2-positive serous endometrial cancer or carcinosarcoma. It may help by improving how well treatment controls or shrinks the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07472517RecruitingPhase 3
Obrixtamig plus standard therapy for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug, obrixtamig, to the usual first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer can help people live longer or slow the cancer's growth. The usual treatment is a combination of atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05945732Recruiting
Testing T-DXd or chemo for HER2-low or HR-positive breast cancer
This study looks at treatment choices for adults with breast cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable metastatic disease). It focuses on people with HER2-low (and some HER2-ultralow) and/or hormone-receptor positive cancer, and compares how well treatments like T-DXd or standard chemotherapy work.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT07635147Recruiting
Decision Support Tool for Advanced Breast Cancer
This study tests a digital tool designed to help patients with advanced (stage IV) breast cancer make treatment decisions. The tool may help you understand your options and feel more confident discussing them with your doctor.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07631468Recruiting
Breast Surgery Follow-Up Study with Imaging Technology
This study follows patients who had breast surgery using special imaging tools (MOLLI, SPY-PHI, or SPY AGENT GREEN) to see how well these tools help surgeons and how patients recover. Your information helps doctors understand if these tools work safely and effectively.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07636785RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
VMD-102 Drug Study for Advanced Cancers
This study tests a new drug called VMD-102 in patients with advanced liver cancer, melanoma, kidney cancer, lung cancer, or colon cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The trial will help determine if VMD-102 is safe and effective at slowing or stopping cancer growth.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06724237RecruitingPhase 3
High-dose chemo and stem cell transplant for T-cell lymphoma patients in remission
This trial tests whether high-dose chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant using your own cells can help people with certain types of peripheral T-cell lymphoma live longer. You would qualify if you have already finished your first round of chemotherapy and are in complete remission.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT06202183Recruiting
Home exercise for gut health in young colorectal cancer patients
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program can improve the health of your gut bacteria during chemotherapy for young-onset colorectal cancer. It aims to help you feel better and potentially improve how well your treatment works.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–50 - NCT05919108RecruitingPhase 2
Neratinib before surgery for HER2-mutated invasive lobular breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests neratinib given before surgery to treat stage I–III invasive lobular breast cancer that has a specific HER2 mutation and is hormone-receptor positive. It may help shrink the tumor and improve control of cancer before and after surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03937635RecruitingPhase 3
Lenalidomide and dexamethasone, with or without daratumumab
This phase 3 trial studies whether lenalidomide plus dexamethasone can prevent or delay progression of “high-risk smoldering” multiple myeloma, and whether adding daratumumab improves outcomes. It’s meant for people who are not yet showing symptoms, but whose lab and scan results suggest higher risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07772479Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two biopsy needles for lung nodule diagnosis
This study compares two types of needles used in a CT-guided lung biopsy to see which one is better at diagnosing lung nodules. The trial aims to find a more accurate and safe way to obtain tissue samples from peripheral lung nodules, which could help guide treatment decisions.
Beijing, ChaoyangAges 18–90 - NCT07493304RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing blood clots in people with cancer
This trial tests a new anticoagulant medication to treat and prevent blood clots in patients with active cancer. You may qualify if you have a recent clot in your leg or lungs and are already taking a blood thinner.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07338968Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for early choroidal melanoma study
This study follows people who finished a previous trial for a type of eye cancer called early choroidal melanoma. It checks how patients are doing over time after receiving either the study treatment (bel-sar) or a placebo (sham).
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04047264Recruiting
Monitoring brain chemistry during brain surgery
This study tests whether a tiny probe can safely measure brain chemistry during and after brain surgery. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain conditions like tumors or epilepsy.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07050186RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab for advanced NUT carcinoma
This trial tests a drug called cemiplimab for people with NUT carcinoma that has spread or cannot be removed. The drug aims to shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07769892Recruiting
Blood and stool test for digestive tract cancer screening

JMT108 for advanced melanoma and urinary tract cancer
This study tests a new drug called JMT108 for advanced melanoma or urinary tract cancer. It may help your immune system attack the cancer, and the study is checking if it is safe and how well it works.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06468215Recruiting
Fertility-sparing treatment for early stage 2 endometrial cancer
This study tests a way to treat early-stage endometrial cancer without removing the uterus, so you can still have a chance to carry a pregnancy. It’s for women under 45 with a grade 2 tumor that hasn’t grown into the womb muscle.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 45 years - NCT06059495RecruitingPhase 2
Watch and wait with dostarlimab for localized stomach cancer
This trial tests a drug called dostarlimab for people with a specific type of stomach cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if the drug can make the tumor disappear, so you might not need surgery right away.
BesançonAges 18–75 - NCT06376526RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy treatment for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
This trial tests an immunotherapy drug combination for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who have had some response to initial treatment but still have signs of disease. The goal is to see if this approach can help eliminate remaining cancer cells and potentially improve outcomes.
