MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05713994Recruiting
Liver cancer treatments together for unresectable liver tumors
This trial tests a combined treatment plan—chemo delivered to the liver, targeted therapy, anti-VEGF therapy, and immunotherapy—to control unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help shrink tumors or slow progression when surgery isn’t possible.
Quanzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT05714124Recruiting
Testing liver procedures to treat tumors when surgery isn’t possible
This trial studies different ways to place treatments inside the liver to control liver tumors when they can’t be removed with surgery or ablation. It may help certain people by improving how well the tumor is treated while keeping liver function safer.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05714995Recruiting
Aromatherapy plus hypnosis for comfort during cancer care
This trial tests whether aromatherapy (smelling essential oils) combined with hypnosis can improve comfort and well-being for people receiving cancer treatment. It focuses on patients at the start of chemotherapy, along with supportive cancer or palliative care needs.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT05714774Recruiting
Ultrasound analysis methods during HIFU prostate cancer treatment
This study compares different ways to analyze ultrasound images in real time while treating localized prostate cancer with HIFU (a focused ultrasound treatment). It aims to improve how safely and accurately the treatment is monitored.
LyonAges 50 years+ - NCT05715229RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test–guided treatment choice for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests how results from blood cancer DNA tests (ctDNA) can help choose the best immune therapy approach for newly diagnosed, advanced lung cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by matching treatment decisions to a patient’s immune and blood test “profile.”
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05715502Recruiting
Targeted radiation for prostate cancer that came back
This study tests a focused (“salvage”) brachytherapy—radiation placed directly near the prostate—to treat prostate cancer that has returned after earlier radiation. It may help control the tumor while limiting radiation exposure to surrounding tissues, based on how well people fit the study’s safety and cancer details.
Poznan, Greater Poland VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT05715684Recruiting
Pre-surgery preparation program for people having bladder removal
This study tests a patient-centered coaching and preparation program before bladder surgery (cystectomy) to help you get ready for surgery and recovery. It may be especially helpful for people having urinary diversion using an ileal conduit or ileal neobladder.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT05716516RecruitingPhase 2
Estradiol pill for ER-positive advanced breast cancer
This trial studies whether an estradiol (a form of estrogen) treatment can help people with ER-positive advanced breast cancer. It is mainly for post-menopausal women whose cancer is not curable and has already been treated with endocrine (hormone) therapies.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05717153RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Test drugs through the tumor to study brain tumor metabolism
This early-phase study tests two drugs (DFMO and AMXT 1501) given directly into the tumor to see how they affect tumor biology and metabolism. Researchers may learn whether this approach could be safer and helpful for people with diffuse or high-grade glioma.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05717166RecruitingPhase 3
Stereotactic radiation for limited metastases with a main tumor
This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation can control cancer that has spread to a limited number of sites (1–10) while you also have the main tumor. It aims to improve outcomes by treating all visible cancer spots with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy.
Prince George, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05717712RecruitingPhase 1
Study virus treatment for newly diagnosed DIPG in children
This Phase 1 trial tests a type of cancer-fighting virus given directly into the tumor for children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). The goal is to see if it can be delivered safely and to learn how the body responds to it.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–18 - NCT05717699RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of a virus treatment for DIPG in children
This Phase 1 trial tests a lab-made cancer virus (Ad-TD-nsIL12) in children with DIPG whose tumor keeps growing after standard treatment. It mainly focuses on safety and how the treatment works, and it may help shrink or control the tumor by stimulating the immune system.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–18 - NCT05717738Recruiting
Immunotherapy plus targeted drugs after TACE for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of blood-vessel–targeting medicine and immunotherapy after a liver-directed treatment called TACE for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It aims to control tumor growth when surgery or ablation isn’t suitable, and to see if this “conversion therapy” helps patients do better than standard pathways.
Quanzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT05717790Recruiting
Nimotuzumab with chemo and radiation for advanced nose cancer
This trial tests whether adding nimotuzumab (an anti-EGFR antibody) to standard chemotherapy and radiation can improve outcomes for people with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It may help the cancer respond better and control it more effectively after treatment.
Baise City, GuangxiAges 18–70 - NCT05717803RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery choice for certain early lung cancers with glasslike nodules
This study compares a lung surgery approach (segmentectomy) for people with early, invasive lung cancer that shows “ground-glass” on scans. It aims to see if this less extensive surgery can treat the cancer effectively when the tumor is in a specific size and scan pattern range.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05718128RecruitingPhase 4
Study of taking heart muscle samples from the inside
This trial studies patients who need an endocardial myocardial biopsy, meaning a small heart muscle sample taken from inside the heart. It’s meant for people with heart problems whose cause is not clearly known and may help doctors learn more about what’s going on.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05718492Recruiting
Tested HAIC for liver cancer after prior immunotherapy
This trial studies HAIC, a type of targeted treatment delivered into the liver, for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that has already been treated with immune and anti-blood-vessel therapies. It aims to see whether HAIC can help control the cancer safely after those earlier treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05719779Recruiting
Oral device trial for snoring and sleep apnea in throat cancer
This trial tests whether a custom mouth (mandibular advanced) device can reduce snoring and breathing pauses during sleep in people with oropharyngeal (throat) cancer. It also looks at how well you tolerate the device and whether it helps with sleep symptoms.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–65 - NCT05720260RecruitingPhase 2
Test immunotherapy plus hormone therapy and an AKT blocker
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy, hormone therapy, and an AKT-blocking drug can control ER-positive advanced breast cancer in women whose cancer is resistant to hormone treatment. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease by targeting several pathways at once.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05720130RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced prostate cancer found on PSMA scans
This trial tests [212Pb]Pb-ADVC001, a radiotherapy-like cancer treatment, in people with advanced prostate cancer that shows up on a special PSMA scan. It aims to find the safest dose and see whether it helps shrink or control metastatic cancer.
Brisbane, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05720338RecruitingPhase 3
Does everyone need a drain after distal pancreas surgery?
This study compares whether patients need an internal abdominal drain after removing part of the pancreas (a distal pancreatectomy). It aims to see if skipping the drain is as safe and may reduce drain-related problems.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05720546Recruiting
Survey about young adult infusion experience
This study asks young adults (ages 18–39) receiving cancer care in an infusion clinic to share their experience through a satisfaction survey. It’s meant to understand what helps patients during infusion visits so care can be improved.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–39 - NCT05721976Recruiting
Grandmother–daughter lifestyle program for certain cancer survivors
This pilot study tests a supportive program for grandmothers who finished breast, endometrial, or ovarian cancer treatment and their adult daughters. It aims to encourage healthier habits, including physical activity, using phone-based support and Spanish/English materials.
