La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05498064Recruiting
Study of ensartinib for advanced ALK-positive lung cancer
This real-world study looks at how ensartinib works in people with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has continued or worsened after ALK-targeted therapy. It may help doctors understand how well the treatment works and who benefits most in everyday care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05498792RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Trial testing CBL0137 with two immunotherapy drugs for melanoma
This early trial tests CBL0137 along with ipilimumab and nivolumab (two immune-based cancer medicines) in people with stage III or possibly stage IV melanoma that can be biopsied. It may help shrink melanoma and improve immune control, while also learning how safe and effective this combination is.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05500118Recruiting
Decision help tool for symptom-free fibroids treated with HIFU

This study uses special MRI scans to measure oxygen levels in and around glioblastoma before and during radiation treatment. It may help researchers understand how oxygen affects treatment response and timing.
St Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05500391RecruitingPhase 2
Testing whether remote nurse monitoring works like in-person checks
This Phase 2 study compares two ways of checking your cancer follow-up: a doctor or nurse visits in person versus remote monitoring by phone and imaging. The goal is to see whether remote monitoring can safely replace or match in-person care for certain low-risk cancers and after surgery.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05501379Recruiting
Track activity in cancer patients during treatment
This study compares how physical activity answers on a questionnaire match what a motion tracker measures. It may help researchers understand activity levels in people with lymphoma, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer during treatment.
GreifswaldAges 18 years+ - NCT05502887Recruiting
Blood cancer registry study on blood vessel lining changes
This study enrolls adults with suspected or confirmed blood cancers to record information and look at changes in the blood vessel lining. Researchers hope this can help explain what happens over time and improve understanding of outcomes.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT05501353Recruiting
Study tumor biomarkers in recurrent metastatic colon cancer
This study looks for blood/tumor signals (“biomarkers”) that may help predict outcomes in people whose colorectal cancer returns and spreads after surgery. It mainly helps researchers understand who may do better or worse, which can guide future care.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–99 - NCT05501665RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adaptive radiation plus pembrolizumab for stage IV lung cancer
This trial tests a personalized (“adaptive”) radiation plan combined with pembrolizumab, and possibly chemotherapy, for advanced stage IV lung cancer. It aims to improve cancer control while carefully managing side effects, including in patients with certain brain metastases.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05501899RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Levocarnitine to protect the liver during ALL chemotherapy
This early-phase study tests whether levocarnitine can reduce liver injury from a chemotherapy medicine called asparaginase in people with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). If you’re eligible, you would take levocarnitine by mouth alongside your planned standard cancer treatment to see if the liver stays healthier.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 5–29 - NCT05502224Recruiting
Program for ongoing fatigue in young cancer survivors
This study tests a multidisciplinary program to help reduce ongoing fatigue after acute cancer treatment. It is for younger adults who still feel at least moderate fatigue about a month after finishing treatment.
BrusselsAges 18–39 - NCT05502198Recruiting
How muscle loss matters in advanced liver disease
This study looks at how loss of muscle strength or mass (sarcopenia) relates to advanced liver disease. It may help doctors understand which patients are at higher risk and could guide future care choices.
EksjöAges 18 years+ - NCT05502523Recruiting
Blood test DNA levels after lung surgery
This study looks at how different lung surgical techniques affect levels of tumor DNA in the blood before and after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It may help doctors choose surgical approaches and use a blood test to monitor cancer after surgery.
Abington, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05502900RecruitingPhase 3
Melatonin after eye melanoma to lower spread risk
This Phase 3 study tests whether taking melatonin after treatment for uveal melanoma can reduce the chance that the cancer returns or spreads to other parts of the body. It is aimed at people with higher-risk eye melanoma features.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05502913RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant plus cancer immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial studies whether giving a fecal microbiota transplant (a stool-based sample from a carefully screened donor) alongside immune checkpoint inhibitors can improve outcomes in people with lung cancer. It aims to change the gut bacteria to help the immune system work better against the cancer.
BeershebaAges 18 years+ - NCT05503134RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor immune cell treatment for relapsed or stubborn AML
This trial tests donated “natural killer (NK) cells,” a type of immune cell, in children and young adults with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It mainly looks at safety and also studies whether the treatment can help control the leukemia.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–24 - NCT05503667RecruitingPhase 2
Testing EGFR drugs before lung surgery in certain stage III cancers
This trial tests whether taking furmonertinib alone, or furmonertinib plus bevacizumab, before surgery can improve outcomes for people with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma that has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05504265RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pain control methods during minimally invasive esophagus surgery
This study compares different ways to control pain around the time of minimally invasive esophagus surgery. It may help find a method that controls pain better and improves recovery after surgery.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05504291RecruitingPhase 2
Treatment delivered inside the eye for retinoblastoma
This Phase 2 study tests a way to deliver cancer treatment directly inside the eye to treat retinoblastoma. It may help shrink the tumor while limiting treatment to the eye when possible.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05506332RecruitingPhase 1
Venetoclax plus leukemia drugs for AML after treatment failure
This Phase 1 trial studies whether a combination of venetoclax (ABT-199) and “purine analogues” can help adults with AML that has come back or didn’t respond to earlier treatment. It’s designed to test safety and early effectiveness in people who haven’t previously developed resistance to venetoclax.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05504707RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for early-stage, HER2-negative, low-risk hormone breast cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a new study drug called DC1 given before standard breast cancer treatments. It focuses on people with HER2-negative breast cancer that is “hormone negative” or “hormone low,” aiming to see if the treatment is safe and whether it may work before surgery or other local therapy.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05504772Recruiting
Personalized genetic testing for children with cancer
This trial studies how personalized (tailored) genetic testing can help guide care for children with cancer. It may help match treatment choices to each child’s genetic risk, and it includes optional return of germline (inherited) test results.
AdelaideAges birth–25 years - NCT05505188Recruiting
Predicting long-term pain after head and neck radiotherapy
This study looks for ways to predict and improve pain you may have months after radiotherapy for first head and neck cancer. It may help doctors better anticipate pain and support patients during recovery.
