Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT05734300Recruiting
Surgery study for older adults with early colon cancer
This study looks at how well a planned surgery approach works for people age 75 and older with early-stage colon cancer. It may help improve outcomes by selecting the right patients for a specific colon operation plan.
Copenhagen, HerlevAges 65 years+ - NCT05734287Recruiting
Study of causes of high male-hormone signs in young women
This study looks at how common polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is among young women who have “high male-hormone” symptoms. It may help doctors better understand what condition is most likely behind those symptoms in your age group.
DohaAges 15–35 - NCT05734430Recruiting
Study of genetics in appendix cancer families
This study looks at genetic (inherited) and other biological factors in people with appendix cancer and, in some cases, their biological parents. The goal is to learn what may contribute to appendix cancer and help researchers better understand risk.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05734560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug via brain catheter for newly diagnosed GBM
This Phase 1/2 trial tests two experimental treatments delivered through a thin catheter placed in the brain for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM). The goal is to see whether the treatment can be given safely and whether it may shrink or control the tumor after standard chemotherapy and radiation.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05734963Recruiting
Cancer organoid testing using patient samples
This study collects samples from your cancer (like during surgery or a biopsy) to grow tiny lab “organoids” for testing. It may help researchers learn which treatments could work better for different cancers.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05735080RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
INX-315 for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial studies an experimental medicine (INX-315) given in an “open-label” way to people with advanced cancer that has not responded to prior treatment. It mainly looks at safety and side effects first, and also checks how well it works in cancers with a specific gene amplification.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05735145RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus radiation, then extra chemo for advanced cervical cancer
This Phase 3 study looks at whether adding chemotherapy after standard chemo-radiation can improve outcomes for advanced cervical cancer. You might be eligible if your cancer responded fully to initial treatment and you meet safety and health requirements.
Liuzhou, GuangxiAges 18–75 - NCT05735184RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with AML medicines for NPM1- or KMT2A-mutated leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and tolerable ziftomenib is when combined with standard AML medicines (like venetoclax and azacitidine, and other chemo options) in people with AML. It’s for AML patients who have specific genetic changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) and helps doctors find the best, safest dose plan.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05736029Recruiting
Using blood and tumor data to predict cancer treatment response
This study looks at “multiomics” information (many types of biological data, like blood and lab markers) to predict how well cancer treatments may work for you. It may help doctors choose better treatments in the future based on what your body is doing during therapy.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05736367Recruiting
Study tumor metabolism in certain types of breast cancer surgery
This study looks at how breast cancer cells use energy and nutrients in hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative tumors during planned surgery. It may help researchers understand the cancer better by comparing tumor tissue with nearby normal tissue.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05736965RecruitingPhase 2
Selinexor with azacitidine and venetoclax for new AML
This trial studies whether selinexor combined with azacitidine and venetoclax can treat newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in people who may not be able to tolerate intensive chemotherapy. It’s aimed at improving leukemia control with a treatment approach designed for patients with higher risk from other health problems.
ChangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT05737303RecruitingPhase 3
First-line chemotherapy comparison for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two chemotherapy drug approaches (nab-paclitaxel vs another taxane drug) as the first treatment for advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. It aims to find which option works better and is tolerated better in people with stage III–IV disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05737953Recruiting
Testing a lab test to identify pancreatic cyst tumor type
This study builds a “molecular marker” lab model using pancreatic cyst fluid taken during planned pancreatic surgery. It aims to help tell which pancreatic cystic tumors are which, based on fluid analysis.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05737732Recruiting
Testing ambient light for multiple myeloma patients
This study looks at whether using a special kind of everyday light (called ambient light) can help people with multiple myeloma as they prepare for their first stem cell transplant. It may be aiming to improve comfort or recovery by affecting sleep and the body’s natural signals from light.
New York, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT05738252Recruiting
Frailty tests to assess surgical risk in gynecologic cancers
This trial studies simple “frailty” assessments (tests of strength, memory, and daily functioning) to better predict risk in people with gynecologic cancers who are planning or having surgery. If you qualify, the results may help doctors identify who needs extra support before and after surgery.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 55–110 - NCT05738187Recruiting
Cryotherapy for repeat head and neck cancer after prior radiation
This pilot study tests whether cooling treatment on the tumor area (cryotherapy) can control a repeat head/neck cancer that can’t be removed and has already been treated with radiation. It also checks safety, especially in areas that have received radiation before.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT05738603Recruiting
Predicting low blood pressure during head and neck flap surgery
This study looks at a way to predict low blood pressure during head and neck free flap surgery (when tissue is moved from one place to another). If successful, it may help the surgical team prevent complications by preparing earlier.
Poznan, PoznańAges 18 years+ - NCT05739123Recruiting
Pregnancy safety registry for relugolix-containing medicines
This is an observational study that collects real-world information about pregnancy outcomes when relugolix-containing therapy is taken during pregnancy. It aims to better understand safety for both the parent during pregnancy and the child after birth.
Wilmington, North CarolinaAges birth+ - NCT05738694RecruitingPhase 3
Test axitinib plus immunotherapy before kidney cancer surgery
This study tests whether taking axitinib plus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1) before surgery can help people with kidney cancer live longer without the cancer coming back. It’s focused on people who have a higher-risk kidney tumor based on scans and pathology findings.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05738980Recruiting
Reduce liver cancer return after surgery using anti–TIM-3
This trial studies whether blocking TIM-3 (an immune “brake”) can help stop hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) from coming back after a curative surgery. It may help by improving your immune system’s ability to find and control remaining cancer cells.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05739045RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus SOX before and around stomach cancer surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding nivolumab to standard chemotherapy (SOX) given before and around surgery can improve outcomes for people with certain stomach or stomach–esophagus junction cancers. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and make surgery more effective.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05739331Recruiting
AI-assisted breathing test to check swollen chest lymph nodes
This trial uses an AI-supported breathing procedure to help doctors examine enlarged lymph nodes in the chest when the cause is still unknown. It may help improve how accurately and efficiently doctors assess these lymph nodes so you can get answers sooner.
LevangerAges 18 years+ - NCT05739565Recruiting
Peer-supported exercise program for men with prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a structured physical activity plan, supported by peers (other participants), can help men with prostate cancer who are currently not very active. It aims to improve motivation and make it easier to exercise safely.
