Imatinib to change triple-negative breast cancer to ER-positive
This trial studies whether imatinib (a pill medicine) can “convert” triple-negative breast cancer into an ER-positive type, which may change how the cancer behaves. If the conversion happens, it could open the door to more treatment options in the future.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05723718Recruiting
Testing body-water measurements in people with stomach cancer
This trial uses a painless machine to measure your body composition (mainly fluid and muscle) using bioelectrical impedance. It’s looking at people with stage II–III stomach cancer who are receiving standard “multi-treatment” care, to see whether these measurements are useful during treatment.
LublinAges 18–100 - NCT05723107RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an endoscopic treatment for pancreatic cancer that can't be removed
This early-phase trial is testing a new endoscopic (from inside the stomach) approach for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that is locally advanced and cannot be removed with surgery. It may help some people who have already tried first chemotherapy and still have a tumor confined to the pancreas area (no spread).
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05723471Recruiting
Physical activity program for newly diagnosed cancer patients
This trial studies whether a structured exercise (physical activity) program started soon after a new cancer diagnosis is safe and helpful. You may benefit if you can safely do activity and meet key health measures.
Nancy, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05723250Recruiting
Rural early cancer care coaching and education program
This study tests an educational “care coordination” program to help people living in rural Vermont manage care during the early stages of breast, lung, or colon cancer treatment. It may help you feel more supported and organized while starting or preparing for chemotherapy.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT05724264Recruiting
Lung cancer screening using CT and blood marker tests
This study tests whether combining low-dose chest CT scans with blood “biomarker” tests can help find lung cancer earlier in people at higher risk. You may be asked to have scans and blood tests and then attend follow-up visits over time.
SingaporeAges 50–80 - NCT05724121Recruiting
Study heart rhythm changes during BTK or venetoclax treatment
This observational study tracks how your heart rhythm (heartbeat pattern) changes while you take a BTK inhibitor or venetoclax. It may help doctors better understand heart rhythm risks in people receiving these cancer-related medicines.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT05724004Recruiting
Alectinib then targeted radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests giving alectinib first, then adding targeted radiation to remaining spots of cancer in people with ALK-rearranged advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to control the cancer after an initial response and help keep disease from progressing.
StockholmAges 20 years+ - NCT05724992Recruiting
Study genetic testing in families at pancreatic cancer risk
This program invites people whose families are followed in a pancreatic cancer registry to do a saliva swab genetic test. It helps researchers learn how to identify genetic risk in families and may guide future care.
VeronaAges 18–80 - NCT05725200RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment plan for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests an individualized treatment chosen from your tumor’s lab testing (genetic and RNA profile plus a drug-sensitivity test from your tumor cells). It may help by matching you to targeted anti-cancer drugs that are most likely to work for your specific cancer.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05725265Recruiting
Low-level laser treatment for arm swelling after breast cancer
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can safely reduce swelling in one arm caused by breast-cancer treatment. It compares the laser to a look-alike inactive (placebo) treatment and checks changes over time.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05726110RecruitingPhase 3
Selinexor for relapsed or refractory AML in combination treatments
This Phase 3 trial studies selinexor (a medicine that changes signals inside cancer cells) used together with other leukemia treatment regimens for adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or did not respond to standard therapy. It may help people reach remission or control the disease better than the current approach.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18–60 - NCT05726136RecruitingPhase 4
Test fluid dosing during laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This trial tests a “fluid challenge” approach during surgery to better control your body’s fluid level. It may help guide how much fluid is safely given during longer laparoscopic abdominal operations.
Norrköping, Östergötland CountyAges 18–85 - NCT05726370RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before surgery for recurrent head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus chemotherapy before curative surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable, recurrent head and neck squamous cell cancer. It also studies how these treatments affect the tumor and immune response using required tissue and blood samples.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05726383RecruitingPhase 2
Mistletoe shots for lung-spread osteosarcoma after surgery
This trial tests Iscador P, a mistletoe-based immunotherapy given as skin injections, to help stop or control recurrent, resected osteosarcoma that has spread to the lungs. It’s for people who already had all visible lung metastases removed and are now trying to stay in remission.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 8–30 - NCT05726786RecruitingPhase 3
