Test drug RMC-6236 for certain RAS mutations in advanced cancers
This trial tests whether RMC-6236 can treat advanced solid tumors that have specific RAS-related gene changes (especially certain KRAS G12 mutations). You may be able to join if your tumor’s DNA test shows the right mutation and your overall health is good enough for study visits.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05380414Recruiting
Study of advanced pancreatic cancer using tumor tissue profiles
This study looks at advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer patients and uses stored tumor tissue to learn what may predict treatment outcomes. You may be able to join if you have had limited prior chemotherapy and can provide an archived tissue sample.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05381103RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
PSMA scan to plan prostate surgery and help protect erections
This trial tests whether using a PSMA-PET scan before prostatectomy can guide surgery in a way that helps preserve sexual function. It may be most helpful if you have certain kinds of prostate cancer and want to keep erections after surgery.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 40–80 - NCT05381038RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized azacitidine combinations for breast or stomach cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests different combinations that include azacitidine, chosen based on your tumor’s lab “response markers” and past drug-sensitivity screening. It aims to find safer dosing and see whether these personalized combinations can shrink solid tumors such as breast or stomach cancer.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05381792Recruiting
Test of gut bacteria changes after colon tumor removal
This study looks at how the gut’s bacteria and bacterial gene signals change after doctors remove certain advanced growths in the colon using endoscopy. If you need an endoscopic procedure for an advanced adenoma or early colon cancer, your stool/bacteria samples may help researchers understand what changes after treatment.
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18–90 - NCT05382585Recruiting
Study of new treatment targets for head and neck cancers
This study looks at new ways to target head and neck cancers. It may help researchers learn which treatment ideas could work better for people with these cancers.
Varanasi, Uttar PradeshAges 18–100 - NCT05383092Recruiting
Exercise program for kids with cancer and healthy insulin
This trial studies an adapted exercise (physical activity) program for children starting treatment for cancer to see if it can improve insulin sensitivity. It may help kids feel better and support healthy body metabolism during treatment.
ToulouseAges 5–18 - NCT05384288Recruiting
How kids with blood cancers respond to the flu vaccine
This study looks at how children with blood cancers respond to the seasonal flu shot. It may help doctors understand what protection the vaccine provides for pediatric oncology patients.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 18 years - NCT05384509Recruiting
Tracking antibody levels in cancer patients during COVID vaccines
This study measures COVID “neutralizing” antibodies over time in people with cancer who are on different kinds of cancer treatments. It aims to understand how vaccination and treatment type affect immune protection in cancer patients.
New Taipei CityAges 20 years+ - NCT05384535Recruiting
Test a special MRI to screen high-risk prostate cancer
This study checks whether a detailed MRI method can help find prostate cancer earlier in people considered high risk. You may be asked to get an MRI and help the team see if it works well as a screening test.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 40–55 - NCT05384873Recruiting
Immunonutrition to improve immunotherapy in metastatic lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding special nutrition (oral immunonutrition supplements) can help immunotherapy work better in people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Participants receive immunotherapy, with or without chemotherapy, and must be able to take oral supplements.
PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT05384626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an ALK-targeted drug for ALK-positive lung cancer
This early-stage study tests neladalkib (NVL-655), a medicine designed to attack ALK-positive cancer. It may help people with advanced ALK-mutated or ALK-rearranged solid tumors, especially ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05384769Recruiting
Blood test for early lung cancer screening in high-risk people
This study checks whether a blood test (a liquid biopsy) can be used along with standard lung cancer screening to find lung cancer early in people at higher risk. It may help see if the blood test is practical and useful for screening—without needing symptoms.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 50–80 - NCT05384821RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral low-dose chemotherapy for relapsed Wilms tumor
This Phase 1/2 trial studies metronomic (very low, steady) chemotherapy taken by mouth or through a feeding tube for children with Wilms tumor that has come back or not responded to earlier treatment. It aims to shrink measurable tumors with better long-term tolerability than standard chemotherapy.
AmiensAges 1.5 years–17 years - NCT05385549RecruitingPhase 2
5-Year imatinib after GIST surgery for high-risk patients
This study looks at taking imatinib (a targeted anti-cancer pill) for 5 years after your GIST tumor has been fully removed. It is meant to lower the chance that GIST comes back in people considered “high risk.”
Seoul, SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT05385406Recruiting
HPV screening with different ways to check for cervical problems
This trial tests two cervical screening approaches to find early signs of HPV-related changes. It may help by improving how results are sorted into “needs follow-up” versus “routine care,” especially for women with different HPV patterns.
Dschang, MenouaAges 25–49 - NCT05386108RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test abemaciclib plus elacestrant for breast cancer brain spread
This trial studies whether the combination of abemaciclib and elacestrant can slow or shrink ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It is designed for people whose cancer has progressed despite prior hormone (endocrine) treatment.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05386043Recruiting
Study brain tumor testing with MRI and extra tissue samples
This study looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05386615Recruiting
Pregnancy follow-up registry after Exablate for fibroids
This study keeps track of people’s pregnancy and birth outcomes after having Exablate treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. It may help doctors understand how safe and effective the treatment can be for future pregnancy plans.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT05387863Recruiting
Decision aid for people with small kidney tumors
This trial tests a decision aid—a simple guide—to help kidney cancer patients understand options and make choices with their urology team. It may help you feel more informed and confident before or after your kidney procedure.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05387603RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted radiation for certain advanced neuroendocrine tumors
This Phase 3 study tests whether a targeted radiation treatment approach (using a special “PRRT” scan-guided method) works better to control advanced neuroendocrine tumors. It’s designed for tumors that show strong targeting on a specific PET scan and that are growing despite prior treatment (with some limits).
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05388006RecruitingPhase 2
Testing three medicines for Richter transformation in CLL/SLL
This Phase 2 trial studies acalabrutinib, venetoclax, and durvalumab together for Richter transformation (a more aggressive lymphoma) that developed from CLL or SLL. The goal is to improve how well treatment works and how long people can respond.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05388149RecruitingPhase 2
Neratinib plus Kadcyla to treat leftover HER2 breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding neratinib to Kadcyla (T-DM1) can help eliminate “molecular residual disease,” meaning tiny traces of cancer left after surgery and standard HER2 treatment. It’s for adults with HER2-positive breast cancer who still test positive after a short course of Kadcyla, with no signs of cancer returning or spreading on scans.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05388214Recruiting
Exercise and memory rehab for older cancer survivors
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise and brain-training program can improve memory and thinking skills in older people after cancer treatment. It may help if you’re noticing thinking or memory problems since finishing curative cancer care.
