Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05705570RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T for CD19-positive relapsed or resistant blood cancers
This trial tests a type of immune treatment (CAR-T cells) for blood cancers that have come back or did not respond after standard treatments. It is for tumors that have CD19 on their cells, aiming to reduce the cancer and improve remission chances.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 2–70 - NCT05706779RecruitingPhase 2
Encorafenib plus cetuximab before surgery for BRAF-mutated colon cancer
This trial tests whether giving encorafenib and cetuximab before surgery can shrink or control BRAF-mutated colon or upper rectal cancer and make surgery more effective. It also checks whether this approach is safe and helps patients do better overall.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05706558Recruiting
Study of esophageal cancer surgery records
This study looks back at past patients’ medical and pathology records from esophageal cancer surgeries. It may help improve how doctors understand which advanced tumors should be treated, by reviewing outcomes in specific tumor stages.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05706766Recruiting
Exercise coaching before stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program before an autologous (your own cells) stem cell transplant can improve health and fitness in people with multiple myeloma. The goal is to safely prepare your body for transplant, and the study includes fitness testing and ongoing exercise training.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05707325RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a lab-made red blood cell treatment for advanced cancers
This early trial studies whether an engineered (lab-made) red blood cell treatment is safe and tolerable, and whether it may show early anti-cancer activity. It may help people with advanced cancers whose disease has not responded well to standard options.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05706922Recruiting
Study gut and vaginal bacteria in PCOS women
This study looks at differences in gut and vaginal bacteria in people with PCOS (a hormone-related condition). You may help researchers understand what bacterial patterns are linked to PCOS and why that might matter for symptoms.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18–45 - NCT05707078Recruiting
PET/CT follow-up for head and neck cancer
This study uses a PET/CT scan (a special scan that can look for signs of cancer activity) after curative treatment for head and neck squamous cell cancer. It aims to help check how well prior treatment is working and whether cancer may come back.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05707819Recruiting
Sintilimab plus chemoradiotherapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding sintilimab (an immune treatment) to standard chemoradiotherapy can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, locally advanced nasopharyngeal (throat) cancer. It may help your immune system work better against the cancer alongside radiation and chemotherapy.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18–70 - NCT05708716Recruiting
Diet and brain training for people after blood cancer
This study tests whether a combined diet plan and structured brain (cognitive) training can improve thinking and memory in people who have had blood cancer. It may help survivors who already have mild-to-moderate thinking problems.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21 years+ - NCT05708352RecruitingPhase 2
Ketogenic diet vs usual diet guidance for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests whether a very low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet helps people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma when combined with standard cancer treatment. You would compare this special diet guidance to the usual anti-cancer diet guidance while receiving the same standard-of-care treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05709249RecruitingPhase 3
Chinese herbal medicine to help prevent colon cancer return
This Phase 3 study tests whether a Chinese herbal “decoction” (called XLJDOD) given after surgery and chemo can lower the chance that colon cancer comes back. It may help people with higher-risk colon cancer (Stage IIIB or IIIC) stay cancer-free longer.
NanjingAges 20–80 - NCT05709769Recruiting
Radiation-related nutrition therapy guided by scan features
This study looks at whether using scan “patterns” (radiomics) to detect malnutrition risk can guide nutrition therapy for people treated for cervical cancer. It may help improve tolerance of treatment and outcomes by targeting nutrition early.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05710861Recruiting
Focal HIFU versus prostate surgery: cost and quality of life
This trial compares focal HIFU (a targeted heating treatment inside the prostate) with prostate surgery, looking at overall cost and quality of life. It may help people with certain early, limited prostate cancers understand which option fits best for them.
BesançonAges 50–75 - NCT05710809Recruiting
Exercise and health check study for older colorectal cancer patients
This trial looks at sarcopenia (loss of muscle strength/size) and vertigo (feeling dizzy or off-balance) in older adults with colorectal cancer. It tests whether a structured, exercise-based approach can help these issues alongside cancer care.
CopenhagenAges 65 years+ - NCT05710848RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for repeat bladder tumor surgery patients
This trial tests STM-416, given around the time you have surgery to remove recurring bladder tumors, to see if it can reduce the chance the cancer comes back. It is for people with high-risk early bladder cancer (non–muscle-invasive) who have already had standard treatment and now need another TURBT.
Mesa, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05711615RecruitingPhase 1
Low-dose doxorubicin plus peposertib for advanced sarcoma
This Phase 1 trial tests a low dose of a common chemotherapy (liposomal doxorubicin) together with an anti-cancer drug called peposertib. It’s for people with advanced sarcoma that can’t be cured, aiming to find a safe dosing plan and see how well the treatment might work.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05711667RecruitingPhase 3
Letermovir to prevent CMV after stem cell transplant in kids
This trial tests whether the medicine letermovir can prevent a common virus (CMV) from coming back after an allogeneic stem cell transplant in children. It may help lower the risk of CMV infection during the vulnerable period right after transplant.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2–18 - NCT05711992Recruiting
Registry for rare brain embryonal tumors in children and teens
This study is an international registry (a way to collect medical information) for people with certain rare brain tumors, diagnosed since 2010. It helps researchers understand these tumors better, which can guide future treatments.
