Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06016452RecruitingPhase 2
Chlorophyllin for brain radiation damage in glioma patients
This trial tests if chlorophyllin can help manage brain damage caused by radiation therapy in people with diffuse glioma. It may reduce symptoms or prevent them from getting worse.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–70 - NCT06685887RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, Immunotherapy, and Heated Belly Chemo for Stomach Cancer Spread
This trial tests combining standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy (tirelizumab) with heated chemotherapy given directly into the belly. It aims to treat stomach cancer that has spread to the abdominal lining, and may help shrink or control the cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06406530Recruiting
Applying PRF gel before radiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether applying a special gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF) to the tooth sockets after extraction can help the gums heal better before radiation therapy starts. It's for people with head and neck cancer who need to have teeth removed on both sides of the jaw.
Giessen, HesseAges 18–99 - NCT06214572RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Radiation Therapy for Advanced Gallbladder Cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation therapy for people with advanced gallbladder cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It is for those whose cancer has not spread to other parts of the body and has stayed stable or improved after initial chemotherapy.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18 years+ - NCT06381531Recruiting
Tracing brain tumors through imaging over time
This study looks at CT or MRI scans of people with primary brain tumors to understand how these tumors change over time. It may help you if you have imaging before and after surgery or before radiation.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges Any age - NCT06355427RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New PET scan for bile duct cancer before surgery
This trial tests a new type of PET-CT scan (called FAPI) to see if it helps doctors better decide treatment for people with bile duct cancer that can be surgically removed. It may help avoid unnecessary surgery if the scan shows the cancer has spread.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06779487Recruiting
Predicting memory changes from brain radiation
This study looks for biomarkers in your blood that might predict how radiation treatment affects brain function. The goal is to understand and possibly reduce cognitive side effects.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 5–39 - NCT06924099Recruiting
Study of Optune in newly diagnosed GBM patients
This study follows patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who are receiving maintenance chemotherapy and starting treatment with the Optune device. It aims to see how well the device works in routine care.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06923150Recruiting
MiniGo vs. standard care for bowel symptoms after rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests a small, portable device called MiniGo that uses a gentle water rinse to help control bowel symptoms after rectal cancer surgery. It may be an option for people who still have bothersome bowel problems despite trying other treatments.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06924463Recruiting
Protein Study of Rhabdomyosarcoma in Young People
This study uses a special machine to find unique protein patterns in rhabdomyosarcoma tumor samples from children and young adults. By analyzing leftover tissue from past biopsies or surgeries, researchers hope to better understand the disease and improve future treatments.
Lille, NordAges birth–25 years - NCT06923449Recruiting
Gastric cancer surgery and tumor board performance study

Rome, ITAges 18 years+ - NCT03592472RecruitingPhase 3
Testing pazopanib with or without abexinostat for kidney cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies how well pazopanib works, and whether adding abexinostat can improve outcomes, for advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. You may qualify if you have clear cell renal cell carcinoma and have not already had certain targeted kidney-cancer medicines.
