Study blood vessel function in CML patients on bosutinib
This study looks at how well your blood vessels work (“vasoregulation”) in people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) while taking bosutinib. The goal is to understand vascular changes and how they relate to treatment in CML.
MoscowAges 40–60 - NCT05683808RecruitingPhase 2
Apixaban to prevent blood clots in outpatient brain tumor patients
This trial tests whether apixaban, a blood thinner, can prevent dangerous blood clots in people with a certain type of malignant brain tumor who are getting radiation and chemotherapy. It may help lower the risk of clots like leg clots or lung clots.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT05683418RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for PIK3CA-mutated HR+ HER2- breast cancer
This early-stage study tests the safety and tolerability of TOS-358 in women with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has a specific gene change (PIK3CA). It may help learn whether this targeted treatment is safe enough to move forward.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05683886RecruitingPhase 2
Study KC1036 for advanced thymus tumors after chemotherapy
This trial tests KC1036 in people with advanced thymoma or thymic carcinoma whose cancer came back or spread after their first standard chemotherapy. It may offer a new treatment option when earlier treatment no longer worked.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05684731RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug KM1 for repeat or resistant ovarian cancer
This early-phase study tests whether KM1 is safe and can shrink or control ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back or not responded to standard treatment. It may help people who have limited options, but eligibility is strict to keep participants safe.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05684367Recruiting
Exercise program to rebuild stamina and energy after breast cancer
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help older adults with breast cancer regain stamina and reduce fatigue. It focuses on people who are still dealing with moderate fatigue after finishing certain breast cancer treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 60–105 - 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+ - NCT05686447Recruiting
Testing blood samples to study multiple myeloma
This study looks at stored blood (serum) samples to see whether a lab test called MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry can help analyze multiple myeloma proteins. If you have multiple myeloma (or are a healthy matched control), your existing lab samples may be used for testing.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT05686226RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests immune cells targeting HPV-16 cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests an immune-cell treatment (E7 TCR T cells) designed to attack cancers caused by HPV type 16. It may help people whose HPV-16+ cancer has come back or not responded to standard treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05686499Recruiting
Colonoscopy training for early colorectal cancer detection
This trial supports training for healthcare professionals to improve screening and early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. It may help by building skills in safely performing colonoscopies and spotting cancer earlier.
Ile-Ife, Osun StateAges 18 years+ - NCT05686798RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy plus radiation for recurring brain tumor
This early-phase study tests a “suicide gene” therapy delivered by a virus along with radiation for adults whose high-grade brain tumor has come back or grown again. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help control the tumor.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05687357RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab plus chemoradiation before surgery for stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies giving tislelizumab (an immune therapy) together with pre-surgery chemoradiation for locally advanced stomach or GEJ (esophagus-stomach junction) adenocarcinoma. It compares this approach to the standard treatment (chemoradiation plus surgery) to see if it improves outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05687084Recruiting
Uterine manipulator vs no manipulator in endometrial cancer surgery
This trial compares using a surgical “uterine manipulator” device versus not using it during endometrial cancer surgery. It may help clarify which approach is safer and works better during planned hysterectomy.
Cuneo, ItalyAges 18–100 - NCT05687188Recruiting
Study obesity links to pancreatic cancer in specific groups
This study looks at how weight and related body changes may lead to pancreatic tumors, focusing on people who are African American or Non-Hispanic White. It may help researchers better understand why pancreatic cancer risk differs between groups.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05687123RecruitingPhase 1
Adding sunitinib to Lutathera for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This early-phase study tests whether adding sunitinib (a targeted pill) to Lutathera (a radioactive treatment) works better for people with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It also checks safety, since this combination has not been widely studied yet.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05687747RecruitingPhase 1
68Ga-FAPI PET/MRI scan for liver cancer diagnosis
This trial studies how well a special imaging test (68Ga-FAPI PET/MRI) can detect and evaluate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. It may help doctors confirm diagnosis and plan next steps by seeing how the cancer takes up the tracer.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05688176Recruiting
Testing blood RNA markers for esophagus cancer and Barrett’s
This study looks for helpful “RNA markers” found in blood to improve diagnosis in people with Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal cancer. It may help doctors spot disease more reliably, but it requires specific health and treatment conditions and a planned biopsy blood sample process.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT05688904RecruitingPhase 1
Topical imipramine with light treatment for skin pain relief
This Phase 1 study tests whether applying imipramine cream to the skin affects pain and effectiveness when combined with a light-based skin treatment (photodynamic therapy). It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs of benefit for people with certain sun-damaged skin areas.
Fairborn, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05689619Recruiting
Silibinin after one brain metastasis surgery for lung or breast cancer
This trial studies silibinin, a natural substance, to help prevent brain metastasis from coming back after surgery. It is for people with lung (NSCLC) or breast cancer who have exactly one small brain metastasis that is fully removed and has a specific lab marker in the brain tissue.
GenovaAges 18–70 - NCT05689775Recruiting
Robot-assisted reconstruction using tummy muscle flap after surgery
This trial studies a specific way to rebuild the pelvic floor (and sometimes the vagina) after major rectal or anal cancer surgery. It uses robotic surgery and a flap taken from your tummy muscle to help close and reconstruct the area.
