Dundee, DD2 1SGAges 18 years+ - NCT05539677Recruiting
Research biobank and patient registry for aggressive solid tumors
This study builds a biobank and patient registry using tumor samples and blood. It helps researchers better understand aggressive cancers and may improve future treatments by testing immune (defense) responses.
Saint PetersburgAges 1 year+ - NCT05539794Recruiting
Exercise program for teens newly diagnosed with cancer
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program is safe and helpful for teenagers who are newly diagnosed with cancer (outside the brain) and have not started treatment yet. It may help improve fitness and daily functioning while cancer care is getting underway.
Villaviciosa de Odón, SpainAges 12–19 - NCT05541016RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized lower-dose radiation for HPV-related throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving a less intense (de-escalated) radiation plan can work for certain people with HPV-related oropharyngeal throat cancer. It uses HPV blood testing and scans to help guide treatment, aiming to keep cancer control while reducing treatment side effects.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05541341Recruiting
Tisagenlecleucel outcomes study in relapsed B-cell blood cancers
This study looks at how safe and effective tisagenlecleucel is for people in Brazil who have certain B-cell blood cancers that came back or did not respond to treatment. You may be included if you already received tisagenlecleucel outside a research study and can consent to share your medical data.
Minas Gerais, Belo HorizonteAges birth–100 years - NCT05541367Recruiting
ER PET/CT scan test for breast cancer
This trial studies how well an ER PET/CT scan can image breast cancer. It may help doctors see whether a cancer has estrogen receptor (ER) activity, which can guide treatment planning.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05541744Recruiting
Using tumor gene data to help guide care for lung cancer
This study looks at gene-related information from a lung tumor sample and pairs it with special imaging to better understand non-small cell lung cancer. If you have a confirmed diagnosis and the right samples/tests, this may help researchers match patients to the most useful information for planning treatment.
Hualien CityAges 20 years+ - NCT05541601Recruiting
Study to detect liver cancer early in people with cirrhosis
This study follows people with cirrhosis to see how best to detect liver cancer early. If you qualify, you may receive regular monitoring that could help find liver cancer sooner, when treatment is more likely to work.
Oxford, OxfordshireAges 18–100 - NCT05542407RecruitingPhase 1
ONC201 plus atezolizumab for endometrial cancer and obesity
This Phase 1 study tests ONC201 together with atezolizumab in people with metastatic or returning endometrial cancer, especially when obesity may be driving the cancer. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can slow the cancer’s growth.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05542706Recruiting
