Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05652673Recruiting
Stopping immunotherapy after a good melanoma response
This trial studies whether it’s safe to stop nivolumab (an immunotherapy) after your melanoma has responded well to initial treatment with ipilimumab plus nivolumab. It may help some people avoid ongoing treatment side effects while still keeping the cancer controlled.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05652920RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for liver cancer that has GPC3
This early-phase study tests modified immune T cells (CAR T cells) to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer, when the tumor shows a marker called GPC3. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, especially after other treatments have stopped working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05653388Recruiting
Study biomarker testing in metastatic leiomyosarcoma
This trial looks at lab markers (biomarkers) in tumor samples from people with leiomyosarcoma that has spread or can’t be fully removed. It also enrolls people who are receiving certain first-line chemotherapy, and your results may help guide future treatment decisions.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05653622RecruitingPhase 2
FDOPA PET–guided radiation planning for glioblastoma patients
This Phase 2 trial tests a radiation “planning” approach guided by an FDOPA PET scan. It aims to better target glioblastoma tissue in people who can’t follow the standard STUPP treatment plan.
Nancy, DeAges 18 years+ - NCT05653635RecruitingPhase 2
PET-DOPA to guide repeat radiation for glioblastoma recurrence
This Phase 2 study tests whether a special brain scan called PET-DOPA can help guide repeat radiation for glioblastoma that has come back. It aims to improve treatment planning while keeping tumors within safe radiation limits near important brain structures.
Nancy, DeAges 18 years+ - NCT05654246Recruiting
ShareForCures breast cancer support and research program
This trial is for adults with breast cancer (or suspected breast cancer) who can take part in an English-language program in the United States. It aims to understand and improve outcomes for people affected by breast cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05654454RecruitingPhase 3
Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy vs Avastin for advanced lung cancer
This trial compares a combination of anti-angiogenics (bevacizumab) plus chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) against Avastin-based treatment in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to find out whether the study treatment is safer and works better for shrinking tumors and improving outcomes.
ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT05654675Recruiting
Scan method study for measuring tumor sugar use on PET
This study checks whether a specific analysis method (called FUR) can better measure how much “sugar” from PET scans is used by tumors. It uses regular PET/CT scans you may already get as part of standard care, and compares how the measurements work.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05655078Recruiting
Proton radiation for one-sided malignant pleural mesothelioma
This study tests proton beam radiation aimed at one side of the chest in people with malignant pleural mesothelioma who are not yet having chemotherapy. The goal is to control the cancer while preserving breathing and quality of life for the right patients.
Eastbourne, East SussexAges 18 years+ - NCT05655260Recruiting
Personalized treatment for high-risk endometrial cancer
This study tests a treatment plan tailored to your specific type of high-risk endometrial (uterine) cancer. It may help by matching therapy to your cancer features and overall health.
HelsinkiAges 18–100 - NCT05655312RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation melanoma treatment with or without nivolumab
This early-stage study tests whether a targeted radioactive drug can shrink advanced melanoma, either alone or along with nivolumab (an immune-activating medicine). You may be eligible if your melanoma shows a specific target on scan imaging and has progressed despite prior melanoma treatments.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05655494Recruiting
