Lund, LundAges 18 years+ - NCT05699213Recruiting
MRI and blood tests for lung nodules found on screening
This study looks at whether MRI scans and blood-related biomarkers can help better understand lung nodules found during routine lung cancer screening. It may help doctors decide which nodules need closer follow-up versus less intensive monitoring.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT05700149Recruiting
Study tests tumor testing to predict nodal marginal zone lymphoma

Niraparib and dostarlimab for cancer with growing brain spots
This trial studies whether the medicines niraparib and dostarlimab can slow advanced cancers that have active, growing brain metastases. It is meant for people whose brain tumors can be measured on MRI and who have had at least one previous treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05701241RecruitingPhase 4
Test continuing somatostatin shots after tumor progression in GEP NET
This trial studies whether it’s helpful to keep taking somatostatin “analog” injections even after your neuroendocrine tumor has started growing despite the usual dose. It also looks at how the next treatment choice (targeted pills or PRRT) fits in for people with non-functional, well-differentiated GEP NET.
Brasschaat, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05701787Recruiting
Study of lung cancer with rare gene changes
This trial looks at the “molecular landscape,” meaning the specific gene changes driving your lung cancer, for people whose non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has rare mutations. The goal is to better understand what those rare changes mean and how they could guide treatment decisions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05702398RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vitamin A and niacinamide for high-risk skin cancer
This early trial tests whether adding vitamin A and niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3) can help people with a history of certain skin cancers reduce new disease. It is designed for adults with specific prior skin cancer or skin lesion treatment patterns.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05702229RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combined medicines for advanced stomach cancer with Claudin18.2
This Phase 2 study tests new combination treatments for advanced stomach or stomach-esophagus junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help people whose tumors are positive for a marker called Claudin18.2, which the study uses to choose who can receive the treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05702749Recruiting
Vestibular physical therapy before treatment for acoustic tumors
This trial tests whether physical therapy focused on balance and dizziness before surgery or targeted radiation (SRS) can improve how people with vestibular schwannoma (an acoustic tumor) feel and function. It aims to help prepare your balance system before treatment begins.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05702502Recruiting
Testing a DNA marker in lymphoma-related HLH
This trial looks for a DNA marker in people with HLH caused by lymphoma. It may help doctors better confirm the cause of HLH and guide treatment decisions.
Nottingham, NottinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05702853RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell therapy after CD34 selection for CD19 lymphoma or CLL
This Phase 1/2 study tests a customized type of immune cell treatment (CD19 CAR T-cells) for people with certain relapsed or hard-to-treat lymphomas or CLL/SLL. It aims to improve control of disease by targeting the CD19 marker on cancer cells.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05702944RecruitingPhase 4
Skipping pre-surgery blood pressure medicine for certain adrenal tumors
This trial studies whether it is safe to skip a specific pre-surgery blood pressure medicine (alpha-blocker) for people with normal blood pressure who have a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma in one adrenal gland. It aims to see if fewer pre-op meds can still prevent risky blood pressure surges during surgery.
SeoulAges 19–70 - NCT05703126Recruiting
Blood vessel and heart strength tests in AML patients
This study looks at how well your blood vessels and heart pumping ability work in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving certain chemotherapy. It may help doctors better understand heart risk during treatment and tailor monitoring to you.
Samara, Samara OblastAges 18–65 - NCT05703542RecruitingPhase 1
Testing BXCL701 for relapsed or resistant AML or MDS
This Phase 1 study tests BXCL701 in adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-blast myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS-EB-2) has come back or not responded to prior treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see how the treatment affects cancer cells.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05703516Recruiting
Study of Tabrecta for NSCLC with exon 14 skipping
This study follows people in South Korea who have a specific lung cancer genetic change called “exon 14 skipping” and are going to take Tabrecta (capmatinib). It helps collect real-world safety and results for using this medicine under routine care.

Biobank study using gut tissue in bowel disease
This study collects and stores digestive (bowel) tissue to better understand how gut bacteria may affect diseases like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. It may help researchers find future ways to improve care for people with these conditions.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05704062Recruiting
Breast MRI during chemotherapy to measure treatment response

Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT05704010Recruiting
Video pill camera test for Lynch syndrome
This trial studies whether a swallowable camera (video capsule endoscopy) can help look inside the small intestine for people with Lynch syndrome. It may help doctors detect problems earlier or more clearly by improving how the small bowel is checked.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05704166RecruitingPhase 2
Pirfenidone to prevent lung injury after breast radiation
This trial tests whether pirfenidone, a medication, can prevent acute lung injury caused by radiation therapy in people with breast cancer. You may be randomly assigned to pirfenidone or a placebo (inactive pill) to see which better protects the lungs during and after radiation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05704530Recruiting
Liquid blood tests for early esophageal cancer

Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05704621RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery after PARP inhibitor failure in returning ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether doing additional (“secondary”) tumor-removal surgery can help people with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has returned after PARP inhibitor maintenance. It focuses on people whose cancer can likely be fully removed and who are considered good candidates for surgery and follow-up treatment.
