Maywood, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05730036RecruitingPhase 3
Linvoseltamab vs standard treatment for relapsed myeloma
This trial compares linvoseltamab against a standard combination (elotuzumab + pomalidomide + dexamethasone) in adults with multiple myeloma that has returned or not responded. It aims to find out whether linvoseltamab works better and is safe for people who have already had some myeloma treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05730816RecruitingPhase 2
Magnesium to help protect kidneys during high-risk chest surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving magnesium by IV can help prevent sudden kidney injury around the time of certain major chest (thoracic) cancer surgeries. If you qualify, you may receive magnesium or a comparison treatment to see if kidney protection improves after surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05731258Recruiting
Watch how liposomal doxorubicin is used after breast cancer
This is an observational study that follows people receiving add-on (adjuvant) chemotherapy after primary breast cancer. It aims to understand treatment patterns and outcomes for patients healthy enough to receive liposomal doxorubicin and who have no major complications.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05731726RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests whether giving serplulimab (an immune medicine) plus CAPEOX chemotherapy and celecoxib before surgery can shrink locally advanced rectal cancer and improve outcomes. It may help by increasing immune attack on the tumor while chemotherapy helps reduce the cancer before the operation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05732103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing CTX-712 for AML or high-risk MDS after prior treatment
This early-phase study tests CTX-712, a new cancer treatment, in people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or certain high-risk blood cancers came back or did not respond to prior therapy. It may help shrink the cancer and control the disease by targeting it differently than standard treatments.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05732051RecruitingPhase 2
Nicotinamide riboside to protect the heart during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether nicotinamide riboside can help prevent heart problems caused by a common breast-cancer chemotherapy (anthracyclines). If you’re eligible, you’ll be followed to see how your heart is doing during treatment.
Lørenskog, AkershusAges 18 years+ - NCT05732389RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for early rectal cancer with dMMR or MSI
This trial studies whether immunotherapy (nivolumab plus ipilimumab) can help people with early-stage rectal cancer that has dMMR or MSI changes. It’s meant for patients who have not yet had chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy for colorectal cancer.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05732623Recruiting
Study of early colorectal cancer risk factors in younger adults
This study looks at factors that may contribute to early-onset colorectal cancer (cancer in the colon or rectum diagnosed at a young age). It compares people with early-onset colorectal cancer to people without cancer to better understand possible causes and risks.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–49 - NCT05733091Recruiting
Study of symptoms and function after certain head and neck cancers
This study looks at how symptoms and everyday functioning change for people with cancers of the nose/sinuses, the throat behind the nose (nasopharynx), or nearby skull-base areas. It may help doctors understand what survivors experience and improve long-term care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05732974Recruiting
Using a computer tool to find lung cancer relapse risk
This study uses a machine-learning computer method to identify people with early-stage lung cancer who have a higher risk of the cancer coming back after surgery. If you qualify, your information may help researchers improve how doctors predict relapse and plan follow-up care.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT05733000RecruitingPhase 2
CPI-613 plus hydroxychloroquine with chemo for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called CPI-613 (devimistat) combined with hydroxychloroquine along with either 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine chemo. It’s for people with advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments, aiming to shrink tumors and slow cancer growth.

Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05733156Recruiting
Low-dose radiation to trigger whole-body cancer effects
This trial tests whether giving a low dose of radiation to one spot can help shrink cancer in other, untreated areas (the “abscopal effect”) in people with multiple metastases. It may help by boosting the body’s response to stereotactic body radiotherapy (focused high-dose radiation) for tumors outside the brain.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05733598RecruitingPhase 2
RP2 plus standard treatment for advanced liver or bile cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether RP2, added to standard second-line treatment, can improve outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer or bile duct/gallbladder cancer. It may help by training the immune system to better attack the cancer after the cancer has already grown despite prior treatment.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05733728Recruiting
