Measuring brain shift during surgery using navigation
This study tests whether a special brain-navigation method can better measure how the brain moves during surgery for certain brain conditions. If it works, it may help surgeons avoid mistakes caused by brain shifting while you are under anesthesia.
MoscowAges 18–100 - NCT05477979Recruiting
Study how stress affects lung cancer treatment outcomes

This study looks at how well a targeted procedure (“focal ablation,” which destroys only the cancer area) works for certain men with prostate cancer that is limited to the prostate. It may help doctors understand which people benefit most and what outcomes to expect.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT05479409RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before surgery for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy before surgery helps people with locally advanced breast cancer that hasn't been removed with chemotherapy. It may offer a new option for those who cannot have surgery right away.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05480449RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized CAR-T for children with high-risk B-ALL
This trial studies a personalized type of immune therapy (CAR-T) made from your own cells to treat pediatric B-ALL that has returned or not responded to prior treatment. It aims to see how well this manufactured CAR-T works and how safely it can be given.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–29 years - NCT05480644Recruiting
Blood biomarker study for brain tumor patients
This study collects blood (and looks at samples) from adults who have a confirmed brain tumor, either one that started in the brain or one that spread to the brain. The goal is to understand biomarkers—signals in the body—that may help improve diagnosis or tracking over time.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05481437Recruiting
Surveying brentuximab for children with Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial is a survey study that looks at how brentuximab vedotin is used in children with Hodgkin lymphoma. It focuses on people whose tumor is CD30-positive and who have not had prior treatment, to see how the drug fits with a standard chemotherapy plan (AVD).
Tokyo, TokyoAges Up to 18 years - NCT05481502Recruiting
Study looks at immune markers after cell therapy
This study collects immune and tumor-related samples to learn what predicts response to adoptive cell therapy (a treatment using immune cells). If you (or your child) are eligible, you may help researchers understand who benefits and why.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges 2 years+ - NCT05482516RecruitingPhase 3
Testing blood test–guided treatment for GI cancers in remission
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving treatment based on a positive blood test for “minimal cancer signals” (ctDNA) can help people with certain GI cancers stay cancer-free longer. It focuses on people who have finished curative-intent therapy and currently have no visible disease on scans, but their blood test is still positive.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05483283Recruiting
Latina women study to help access breast cancer care
This trial supports Latina women who have higher breast cancer risk and face added barriers (like cost, transportation, safety, or isolation) to get recommended breast screening and genetic risk information. It aims to help you understand your risk and access care when it’s due.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 30 years+ - NCT05483166Recruiting
Parent coaching to support memory and behavior after childhood cancer
This pilot study tests a program that works with parents to support a child’s thinking, memory, and behavior after childhood cancer treatment. It may help by teaching parents strategies to support school and day-to-day functioning.
AarhusAges 10–17 - NCT05483400RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab and tiragolumab study for several solid tumors
This Phase 2 trial tests the cancer medicines atezolizumab and tiragolumab in people with different solid tumors. It aims to see how well these drugs work and what side effects they cause in specific patient groups.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT05483374Recruiting
Head and neck cancer registry for adult patients
This study builds a European database (registry) of adults with certain head and neck cancers to better understand how these cancers are diagnosed and treated over time. It may help future care by collecting real-world information, rather than testing a new medicine.
Brno, BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT05483452Recruiting
Tests a precise seed implant method for abdominal and pelvic tumors
This trial tests whether a new planning method (using a “template” to guide the needle) can improve the accuracy of radiation seed placement for tumors in the abdomen or pelvis. It may help reduce placement error and improve safety for people who need seed implantation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT05484245Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided surgery for certain brain mass lesions
This trial looks at using real-time ultrasound to help surgeons remove or treat certain brain growths and bleeding areas. It may help by making the procedure more precise for newly diagnosed cases in the upper part of the brain.
MoscowAges 18–100 - NCT05484570Recruiting
Study of how rare DNA repair disorders affect the body over time
This natural history study follows people with specific DNA repair disorders to better understand symptoms and how they change over time. It may help researchers plan future treatments by mapping what complications to expect and when.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 6 months+ - NCT05484908Recruiting
Tested treatment for hepatitis B-related liver cancer after immunotherapy
This trial studies whether the ALSS treatment is safe and effective for people with hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma who recently received immune checkpoint inhibitors. It may help improve outcomes for certain liver-related complications after immunotherapy, based on how their liver tests look.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05484973Recruiting
Portable scalp cooling to help prevent chemotherapy hair loss
This study tests whether a portable cooling cap system can reduce hair loss for women with breast cancer who are planning certain chemotherapy treatments. It may help you keep more of your hair while you receive chemotherapy.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT05485077Recruiting
Study of colorectal cancer screening in adults 40+

Pembrolizumab with cancer medicines for BRCA-mutated triple negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a treatment plan given before surgery (neoadjuvant) and after surgery (adjuvant) for people with BRCA1/2-mutated triple negative breast cancer that has not spread. It aims to improve how well the cancer responds and how long people stay cancer-free.
Gifu, GifuAges 18 years+ - NCT05486572Recruiting
Ultrasound or MRI to help prevent liver cancer deaths
This study compares ultrasound scans versus MRI scans to see which one better helps prevent deaths from liver cancer in people with cirrhosis. You may be assigned to one of the two imaging tests and follow-up visits to track whether liver cancer develops or is caught early.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT05486650Recruiting
Study of focused radiation after PD-1 treatment helped non-lung cancer
This observational study looks at how stereotactic (high-precision) radiation works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that is stable after PD-1 antibody treatment (sometimes with chemotherapy). It may help doctors better understand which patients benefit from this next treatment step and what side effects to expect.
