New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05242861Recruiting
Reviewing outcomes after brachytherapy for women’s cancers
This study looks back at medical records to understand results after brachytherapy (a form of cancer radiation delivered from inside or close to the tumor) in women with gynecologic cancer. It may help doctors improve future treatment decisions, but you would not have to receive an experimental treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05243797RecruitingPhase 3
Teclistamab plus lenalidomide maintenance after transplant
This trial tests whether adding teclistamab to lenalidomide (or using teclistamab alone) helps keep newly diagnosed multiple myeloma from coming back after an autologous stem cell transplant. It’s comparing these options to lenalidomide alone as long-term maintenance.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05243212RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT05244239RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus lurbinectedin for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding palliative (comfort-focused) radiation to the medicine lurbinectedin can better control extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It may help reduce problems from tumors in places like bones and organs.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05245487Recruiting
Study of blood samples in older people with relapsed lymphoma
This study looks at blood (“hematopoietic”) information in people age 60+ with relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who need an additional round of treatment. It may help researchers understand changes in the body during active lymphoma therapy.
CopenhagenAges 60 years+ - NCT05245500RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for solid tumors with MTAP gene deletion
This Phase 1 trial studies MRTX1719, a new medicine, in solid tumors that have a missing MTAP gene (MTAP deletion). It aims to find the safest dose and check how the drug affects the tumor.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05245656RecruitingPhase 2
Rituximab plus chemo plans for older mantle cell lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies whether an “extra chemo” schedule (adding cytarabine) can work better than a standard rituximab-bendamustine plan in older people with mantle cell lymphoma. It compares two treatment sequences to see which one helps patients live longer and respond better with acceptable safety.
Seoul, Gangnam-GuAges 60 years+ - NCT05245877RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing blood clots before and after pancreatic surgery
This study compares two approaches to preventing blood clots around the time of pancreatic surgery. It may help lower the risk of dangerous clotting events after surgery, especially for people who are high risk.
TorontoAges 18–120 - NCT05245812Recruiting
Robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy safety and feasibility study
This trial looks at whether a robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy is safe and practical to do. It may help your care team understand whether this approach works well for people who are candidates for nipple-sparing surgery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT05246163Recruiting
Smartphone app that helps detect skin cancer
This trial tests an artificial-intelligence smartphone app that helps spot possible skin cancer by looking at skin spots (lesions). You may benefit by getting guidance on whether your new or changing mole needs closer attention.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT05246345Recruiting
Study for chronic lymphocytic leukemia after venetoclax failure
This study looks at why chronic lymphocytic leukemia may stop responding after a medicine called venetoclax. By analyzing tumor samples, researchers hope to better understand resistance and guide future treatment options.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05246475Recruiting
PET-MRI scan study for oxygen levels in head and neck tumors
This study uses a combined PET-MRI scan to measure how much oxygen a head and neck tumor has. It may help doctors understand tumor “oxygen levels,” which can relate to how tumors grow and respond to treatment.
Turku, G102881Ages 18–80 - NCT05247268RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy to shrink early uterine cancer in young women
This trial tests whether combining two hormone medicines can treat early endometrial (uterine) cancer while helping preserve the uterus and future fertility. You may be eligible if your cancer is early and limited, with no spread seen on scans, and you can safely take these medicines.
ShanghaiAges 18–45 - NCT05248412Recruiting
Study how COVID-19 long-term effects impact chronic diseases
This research looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the health and healthcare of adults with long-term conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, or chronic lung disease. It compares people who may have been affected by the pandemic and looks at their health and access to care over time.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05248633RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus radiation versus radiation alone for one plasmacytoma
This Phase 2 study compares giving chemotherapy with radiation versus radiation alone for people with a single plasmacytoma (a localized plasma-cell tumor). It aims to see whether adding chemotherapy improves control of the disease while keeping side effects acceptable.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05248763Recruiting
Cancer Moonshot program for specific cancer types
This study is for people with certain cancers: lung, breast, gastric (stomach), pancreatic, or ovarian. It aims to test a Moonshot-style approach to improve cancer care for these groups.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05248750Recruiting
Study of genes, tumor environment, and immune factors in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at tissue samples from people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to understand how genes, the tumor “neighborhood,” and the immune response may affect the cancer. Your participation may help researchers learn what drives the disease and how treatment might work better for you.
Rome, LazioAges 18–80 - NCT05251389RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Fecal microbiome transplant after anti-PD-1 melanoma not working
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) can help your body respond better to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in advanced skin melanoma. It is for people whose melanoma has progressed despite anti-PD-1 treatment.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05250648RecruitingPhase 4
HIPEC with mitomycin C after surgery for colon cancer in the belly
This study looks at adding a heated medicine treatment (HIPEC with mitomycin C) during surgery to treat colon cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It aims to improve outcomes after surgeons remove visible tumor completely.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT05252078RecruitingPhase 2
Anlotinib plus an injection after esophageal cancer surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether anlotinib tablets combined with an injection (TQB2450) can lower the risk of esophageal squamous cell cancer coming back after surgery. It may help by targeting cancer growth signals and blood-vessel formation to reduce recurrence.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05251883Recruiting
Study of data from metastatic ovarian cancer using multiple tests
This study looks at metastatic ovarian cancer by analyzing many types of patient data (from “multi-omics,” which means different kinds of lab and biological information). It may help doctors better understand the disease and improve future care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05253495RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted immunotherapy added to chemotherapy and radiation for lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding targeted immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy and radiation can improve outcomes in children with certain types of lymphoma. It may help the immune system work better against cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–39 - NCT05254327RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus or minus BMX-001 for advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests two different ways of giving radiation before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer, with or without an added study drug called BMX-001. It aims to see whether the shorter/longer radiation plans and BMX-001 improve cancer control and are safe.
