Indian Wells, CaliforniaAges 45–90 - NCT05427240Recruiting
Check if an online approach works for cancer gene testing
This study tests an e-health (online) way to help people get genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk. It is meant for people who have never had germline genetic testing before and may qualify for standard genetic testing based on cancer risk guidelines.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05424016Recruiting
Propranolol for brain blood-vessel tumors in VHL

Le Kremlin-BicêtreAges 18 years+ - NCT05424692Recruiting
Test tumor drug sensitivity to guide after-surgery colon cancer care
This study looks at whether testing a small tumor sample can identify which medicines are more likely to work for colorectal cancer after surgery. The results are used to help choose the best “after-surgery” treatment plan, when you have not had chemotherapy before surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05425004RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib for recurrent or worsening meningioma tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies cabozantinib, a targeted pill medicine, for meningioma that has come back or is getting worse after standard treatment like surgery or radiation. It aims to shrink tumors and slow progression when other options may have limited benefit.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05425992Recruiting
Spanish-speaking families with leukemia or lymphoma
This study aims to improve communication and strengthen a child’s “medical home” (the main care team and coordination) for Spanish-speaking families. It focuses on families receiving cancer care at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (CCBD).
Aurora, ColoradoAges Up to 22 years - NCT05426135Recruiting
AI tool to assess cancer risk and guide care
This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) system that uses your health information and medical images to better judge cancer risk and support diagnosis and treatment decisions. It may help doctors make more consistent assessments by combining clinical records, imaging, and other lab-style data.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05427058Recruiting
Nerve blocks to treat hard-to-control cancer pelvic pain
This trial tests two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks for people with severe cancer pain in the pelvis or perineum that has not improved enough with standard stepwise pain medicines. It may help reduce pain and lessen bothersome side effects from pain pills.
Malang, East JavaAges 18 years+ - NCT05427071Recruiting
Tracking a breast cancer marker to guide lymph node surgery
This study tests a special “marker” technique to help surgeons find affected lymph nodes in the armpit after chemotherapy. It may support more targeted surgery and help avoid unnecessary removal of healthy lymph nodes.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05427136Recruiting
Study early lung problems after childhood cancer treatment
This study looks for early lung (breathing) problems in children after certain cancer treatments, using lung tests and sometimes MRI scans. It may help doctors spot breathing complications earlier and guide better care.
BaselAges 4–22 - NCT05427383RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
KN026 plus chemo for HER2-positive stomach cancer after first treatment failure
This trial tests KN026 together with chemotherapy in people with HER2-positive advanced stomach (or gastro-esophageal junction) cancer that has already grown despite first-line treatment with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. It may help by targeting HER2 while also using chemotherapy to control the cancer.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05427487RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a medicine injected into tumors for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests IVX037, a medicine given directly into a solid tumor, to see if it is safe and may shrink tumors. It is for people with certain advanced colorectal, stomach/gastroesophageal, or ovarian cancers that have limited treatment options.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–85 - NCT05428007RecruitingPhase 2
Sarilumab with three immunotherapy drugs for advanced melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding sarilumab (an immune-blocking medicine) to three immunotherapy medicines can shrink unresectable, advanced melanoma that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to improve how well the immune system controls the cancer, especially in Stage III or Stage IV disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT05428358Recruiting
MRI helps choose which pancreatic cancer patients can have surgery
This trial studies whether adding an MRI scan improves the selection of people with pancreatic cancer who may benefit from surgery. It focuses on patients without liver spread and with tumors that are borderline or likely removable.
AalborgAges 18–99 - NCT05429099Recruiting
Planning study for jaw reconstruction surgery
This study helps teams plan surgery for people who need part of the lower jaw removed and rebuilt using special tissue flaps. It mainly looks at whether having specific pre-surgery CT images is possible and useful for reconstruction planning.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05430009RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation to liver plus immunotherapy for metastatic lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether targeted radiation to liver tumors combined with immunotherapy can control metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to find a safe and effective treatment approach for people whose cancer has spread to the liver.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05429138Recruiting
Tracking egg and sperm changes during melanoma treatment
This study measures how anti-cancer treatment affects a person’s egg reserve (for women) or semen quality (for men) over time. It may help doctors better understand fertility-related side effects of melanoma therapy and how they evolve during routine treatment.
BordeauxAges 18–45 - NCT05430399RecruitingPhase 3
Utidelone vs docetaxel for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial compares utidelone with docetaxel in people with HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It aims to see which treatment works better and is safer for controlling the cancer and helping patients live longer.
Guangzhou, GangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05430698RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 antibody after surgery for bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding a PD-1 antibody plus gemcitabine/oxaliplatin (GEMOX) after surgery can lower the chance of the cancer coming back in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. It’s for people who have had surgery with no tumor left at the cut edges, but lymph nodes showed cancer under the microscope.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05430971Recruiting
BPDCN international registry for patients to be followed over time

Miami, FloridaAges Any age - NCT05431257RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine plus venetoclax for older or unfit AML
This Phase 2 study tests whether the combination of azacitidine and venetoclax can help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who can’t handle standard intensive chemotherapy, including some relapsed or refractory cases. It also involves extra optional-style lab testing on your leukemia (bio-banking and “-omics” profiling) to learn which drug sensitivities may matter.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05431270RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug that targets CD73, alone or with immunotherapy
This early-stage study tests mavrostobart (an anti-CD73 antibody) to see what dose is safe and whether it can help shrink tumors. It’s studied by itself and also with a PD-1 immune therapy or chemotherapy, depending on your cancer type and prior treatments.
