Chidamide to Prevent AML Return After Bone Marrow Transplant
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether chidamide can help prevent high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from coming back after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (allo-HSCT). Participants must already be in complete remission and have recovered blood counts after transplant.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–65 - NCT04095195Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer risk registry for high-risk families
This study builds a registry of people with a higher-than-average risk of pancreatic cancer, based on family history or inherited gene conditions. If you join the extra imaging follow-up, it helps your care team monitor risk earlier.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18–80 - NCT05686434RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib after surgery for early-stage EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests osimertinib (a targeted pill) given after surgery to help prevent early-stage lung cancer from coming back. It’s for people with fully removed, high-risk stage I non-small cell lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04486131Recruiting
Test for treatment of recurrent rectal cancer in side lymph nodes
This trial focuses on rectal cancer that has come back in the side lymph nodes near the pelvis. It tests how to treat that “lateral nodal recurrence” to improve outcomes by targeting these specific lymph nodes.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05692674RecruitingPhase 2
Proton radiation after breast surgery with implant reconstruction
This trial studies a type of radiation made with proton beams given after mastectomy and implant reconstruction to lower breast cancer coming back. It’s for people who need additional (adjuvant) radiation and have not had prior radiation to the chest or breast.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT03621904Recruiting
Predicting response to hormone treatment in endometrial cancer
This study looks at whether biopsy test results can help predict how well hormone therapy will work for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. It may help doctors choose the most effective hormonal treatment sooner.
NijmegenAges 18–110 - NCT05088187Recruiting
Study of thinking and quality of life after thyroid surgery
This study looks at how thyroid surgery affects thinking (cognition) and day-to-day quality of life. It may help patients and doctors understand what to expect and how to support people after surgery.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT05690802Recruiting
Test palonosetron to prevent nausea from chemotherapy
This trial studies whether palonosetron helps prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy that has a moderate risk of vomiting. It may help you feel more comfortable during chemo and avoid treatment interruptions from severe nausea.
