Radiation after mastectomy for certain node-negative breast cancers
This trial studies whether giving radiotherapy after a mastectomy helps prevent breast cancer coming back in women whose lymph nodes are not involved (or only very tiny spread). It may help reduce recurrence risk, especially for patients with higher-risk features despite node-negative early cancer.

Study drug for CLL or SLL after prior treatment failure
This Phase 1 trial studies APG-2575 (alone or with other medicines) in adults with CLL/SLL whose disease came back or did not respond to earlier treatment. The goal is to learn the safest dose and whether it can shrink the leukemia and improve symptoms.

Using photos and a computer to assess breast appearance after treatment
This study uses a computer (deep neural network) to judge how the breast looks after breast-conserving surgery or full breast reconstruction and radiation therapy. It may help doctors measure cosmetic results more consistently using photographs.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 19–80 - NCT05528341RecruitingPhase 1
CAR NK cell treatment trial for solid tumor cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (CAR-NK92 cells) for people with solid tumors that have not responded to earlier treatments. The goal is to see how safe it is and whether it can shrink tumors or help control cancer.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06258304RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug, GIGA-564, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to or have returned after standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective, and to find the best dose.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05723471Recruiting
Physical activity program for newly diagnosed cancer patients
This trial studies whether a structured exercise (physical activity) program started soon after a new cancer diagnosis is safe and helpful. You may benefit if you can safely do activity and meet key health measures.
Nancy, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06251297Recruiting
Reflexology to prevent nerve damage from chemotherapy
This study tests if foot reflexology can help prevent nerve damage caused by a chemotherapy drug called oxaliplatin in people with colorectal cancer. If it works, it could reduce pain, tingling, or numbness in the hands and feet.
Toulouse, CHU de ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06064695Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation exercise for myasthenia gravis
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise can help adults with generalized myasthenia gravis. It also enrolls healthy controls for comparison. If you have MG and can stand for about 15 minutes, this may be an option.
Fairway, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06431243RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Purinostat Mesylate for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called Purinostat Mesylate, either alone or combined with other drugs, in people with advanced solid tumors (including breast cancer) that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Guanzhou, GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT05945524Recruiting
Study of how teclistamab works in multiple myeloma patients
This study looks closely at patients’ immune cells to understand why teclistamab helps in multiple myeloma. Your participation could help doctors better predict who benefits and how the treatment works.
Amiens, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06294652Recruiting
Austrian Lymphoma Patient Registry Study
This registry collects information from adults with lymphoma to better understand the disease and improve future treatments. It is open to all patients 18 or older with lymphoma.
Salzburg, State of SalzburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06369389Recruiting
Real-world care for blood cancer patients receiving CAR-T therapy
This study looks at how patients with blood cancers are managed in real life when they receive CAR-T cell therapy. It helps doctors learn more about how well these treatments work outside of clinical trials.
Toulouse, CHU de ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06678919Recruiting
A registry for metastatic colorectal cancer beyond second line
This study tracks people with metastatic colorectal cancer who have already tried at least two standard treatments. It aims to collect real-world data on how well newer treatments work in later lines of therapy.
LinzAges 18 years+ - NCT06537726Recruiting
Breath test for fungal infections in leukemia patients
This trial tests if a simple breath analysis can detect invasive fungal infections early in people with acute leukemia who are undergoing chemotherapy and have a low white blood cell count. Early detection could help start treatment sooner.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06718543RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation with AK112 for rectal cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether combining short-course radiation with an immune therapy drug (AK112) plus chemotherapy before surgery is better than radiation alone for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes without needing stronger treatments later.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06705075RecruitingPhase 2
Contrast ultrasound for uterine fibroids before and after UAE
This trial uses special contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS and SHAPE) to take detailed images of uterine fibroids before and after a procedure called uterine artery embolization (UAE). It aims to help doctors better understand how fibroids respond to treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06752239RecruitingPhase 3
Optimizing radiation to protect thyroid in nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a way to adjust radiation therapy to better protect the thyroid gland during treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It aims to reduce thyroid damage while still effectively treating the cancer.
