Isatuximab and lenalidomide after transplant for myeloma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding isatuximab and lenalidomide after an autologous stem cell transplant can keep multiple myeloma from coming back when tests show leftover (minimal) disease. If it works, it may improve how long you stay in response.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05345158Recruiting
Robotic surgery first for early-stage seminoma testicular cancer
This trial studies whether a robotic operation (removing cancerous lymph nodes in the back of the belly) is a good first treatment for certain early-stage testicular seminoma cases. It aims to cure cancer while avoiding or delaying other treatments, and uses follow-up plans to check results.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05345002RecruitingPhase 2
ATRA plus PD-1 therapy for IDH-mutant recurrent brain tumors
This trial studies whether adding all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to an anti–PD-1 immune therapy can slow recurrent or worsening IDH-mutant glioma. It may help by boosting the immune system’s attack on the tumor.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05345613RecruitingPhase 4
Tranexamic acid during colon scope removal procedures
This trial tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps reduce bleeding) lowers bleeding during colon procedures where abnormal growths are removed with a flexible camera. You might benefit if you’re having one of these colonoscopic resection procedures and don’t have certain key risk factors.
Be’er Ya‘aqovAges 18 years+ - NCT05345587Recruiting
Digital monitoring plus proactive medication review during oral cancer treatment
This trial tests whether combining regular medication safety checks with electronic tracking of side effects can improve quality of life and help reduce economic burden for people taking cancer pills. It’s for people starting oral cancer therapy and using connected technology to report symptoms.
Brive-la-GaillardeAges 18 years+ - NCT05345860Recruiting
Using MRD results to guide extra treatment after breast surgery
This trial checks “MRD” (tiny leftover cancer signals after surgery) to help decide the best additional treatment for early-stage breast cancer. It may help tailor therapy so you get the most useful medicines while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05348486Recruiting
Adaptive radiation planning using FMISO imaging for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a way to personalize radiation treatment using a special scan (FMISO) to improve targeting in certain head and neck cancers. It is designed for people who are newly diagnosed and ready for standard curative (definitive) chemoradiation or faster radiation schedules.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT05346510Recruiting
Prone CT and ultrasound to check underarm lymph nodes
This study checks how well CT scans and ultrasound (done while lying face-down) can identify underarm lymph node involvement in people with breast cancer before surgery. If accurate, this may help guide whether additional lymph node surgery is needed.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–70 - NCT05346536Recruiting
Test blood test for a specific type of pancreatic cancer cell
This trial looks for pancreatic cancer markers in a blood sample (“liquid biopsy”), focusing on cells that show a certain protein (AXL). It may help doctors detect and better track advanced pancreatic cancer before or during first-line treatment.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT05346367Recruiting
Targeted brain radiation to improve treatment benefit and limit side effects
This study tests a more targeted form of stereotactic (precise) brain radiation for people with brain metastases from large cell cancer. It aims to improve the balance between effectiveness and side effects by carefully focusing where the radiation goes.
Leidschendam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05346757Recruiting
Test stool DNA changes to screen or find colorectal cancer
This study checks whether a stool test that looks for tiny genetic signals can help detect colorectal cancer (or find it again after prior findings). You may be asked to provide a stool sample around the time you get a colonoscopy.
BarcelonaAges 18–80 - NCT05346848RecruitingPhase 2
Darolutamide plus radiation for intermediate-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding darolutamide to standard radiation can better control intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It includes men whose cancer has spread nowhere else and who are newly diagnosed with “unfavorable intermediate risk” or progress to that risk group.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT05346796Recruiting
Online care plan program for colon or rectal cancer survivors
This trial tests whether a survivorship (after-treatment) health plan delivered through an online health record helps people after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It may help you organize follow-up care and stay on track with recommendations.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–99 - NCT05347524Recruiting
Blood test study to detect stomach cancer spread in the belly
This study checks whether a blood liquid biopsy test can detect when stomach cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal metastasis). It compares people with confirmed belly spread to people whose belly lining tests were negative, using blood samples before/around treatment decisions.
