PET/CT scan study to track heart damage from cancer radiation
This study uses a special scan (PET/CT) to look for early heart (cardiac) injury caused by radiation treatment for lung or esophageal cancer. If you may be at higher heart risk from your planned radiation dose, the scan may help researchers better measure that damage over time.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05776524RecruitingPhase 2
Radiofrequency heat treatment for pancreas cancer spread to other organs
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a device that delivers carefully timed “radiofrequency heat” through the body can slow or control metastatic (spread) pancreatic cancer. You may qualify if you have newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer and can meet safety and blood-test requirements.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05776680Recruiting
1-year training for oncology nurses in psycho-oncology care
This study tests whether a year-long psycho-oncology training course for oncology nurses improves how they provide psychological support to patients. It compares nurses who take this specific course with nurses who take other advanced training from the society.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05776979RecruitingPhase 2
Isatuximab plus lenalidomide after transplant for high-risk myeloma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding isatuximab and lenalidomide as long-term treatment after stem cell transplant can help keep high-risk multiple myeloma under control. It may help some people reduce the chance of the disease coming back after transplant.
Houston, TexasAges 18–72 - NCT05777824RecruitingPhase 2
Testing treatment after head and neck cancer response to chemo-immunotherapy
This Phase 2 study looks at what treatment is best after you first receive chemotherapy plus immunotherapy, then have surgery for head and neck squamous cell cancer. It tries to use how your tumor responds (shown in lab tissue after treatment) to guide the next steps, which may improve outcomes.
Beijin, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05777278RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Savolitinib plus docetaxel for advanced lung cancer with high MET
This trial studies savolitinib (an oral MET-targeted medicine) combined with docetaxel (an IV chemotherapy) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumor has high MET activity. It’s designed to see if this combination can shrink tumors or control the cancer after the first standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05779423RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing tumor plus two immunotherapies for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether combining a local treatment that freezes a tumor (cryoablation) with two immune “checkpoint” medicines (ipilimumab and nivolumab) can better control unresectable melanoma. It may help when melanoma has grown after prior immune therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05779670Recruiting
Check if home exercises work after leg bone tumor surgery
This trial looks at whether a personalized home exercise plan helps people recover after surgery to rebuild a lower leg for a bone tumor. It may help by improving exercise adherence using support for at-home care during treatment.
BolognaAges 12–90 - NCT05779605Recruiting
Online rehab for lymphoma survivors after chemotherapy
This trial tests a telerehabilitation (remote exercise/rehab) program for people with recent lymphoma or other blood cancers after chemotherapy. It aims to improve recovery and fitness while monitoring safety through an exercise test and check-ins.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT05779631Recruiting
MRI test to better stage suspected bladder cancer
This study uses a special MRI scan (mpMRI) to figure out how far suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer has spread, using a new local staging approach. If the results are accurate, it may help doctors plan the most appropriate curative treatment sooner.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT05779917RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cells for cancers that have specific target proteins
This Phase 1 trial tests a customized immune therapy (CAR-T cells) for advanced cancers that have the proteins mesothelin, GPC3, and/or GUCY2C. It may help your body better recognize and kill cancer cells, but early-phase trials mainly focus on safety and learning how well the treatment works.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05780034RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug AC676 for certain relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests AC676, a study medicine, for adults with certain B-cell blood cancers that have come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help people who have tried standard therapies and need new options.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05780814Recruiting
Treating insomnia to improve weight loss after breast cancer
This study looks at whether improving insomnia (trouble falling asleep or staying asleep) can help survivors of breast cancer lose weight more successfully through a structured behavioral weight loss program. It may help if sleep problems are making it harder to change eating and activity habits.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05780684Recruiting
Personalized 5-FU dosing for advanced gastrointestinal cancer
This study tests whether doctors can safely find the best dose of 5-FU, a chemotherapy medicine, for people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers. The goal is to reduce side effects while still treating the cancer effectively.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05780957Recruiting
Blood and urine screening study for firefighters
This study tests an early-detection cancer screening approach using blood and urine samples in firefighters. If it works well, it could help find certain cancers earlier than usual.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05781217RecruitingPhase 3
Short vs longer hormone therapy after salvage prostate radiation
This trial compares two lengths of hormone treatment (androgen deprivation therapy) given around “salvage” radiation after prostate surgery for rising PSA. It aims to see which schedule works best to control prostate cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05781555Recruiting
DaRT radiation device study for treating tumors
This study tests a radiation-emitting device (called DaRT) for treating cancer tumors. It may help shrink or control malignant tumors and researchers will check safety and response to the treatment.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT05781295Recruiting
Taurolidine vs saline lock for kids’ central line
This trial studies whether a medicine lock called taurolidine is safer or works better than a standard saline (salt water) lock for pediatric cancer patients with central venous lines. It’s meant to help prevent central-line infections.
ParisAges Up to 21 years - NCT05783908Recruiting
Self-guided breathing help during MRI-guided radiotherapy for moving tumors
This study tests whether a self-guidance approach for breathing can improve radiotherapy sessions when the tumor moves during breathing and is treated with an MRI-guided machine. It may help make treatments more accurate and easier to follow during each session.
Dijon, Côte d'OrAges 1.5 years+ - NCT05783323RecruitingPhase 2
Larotrectinib plus radiation for thyroid cancer with NTRK fusion
This Phase 2 trial tests larotrectinib (a targeted medicine) to help radioactive iodine (RAI) work better in people with differentiated thyroid cancer that has an NTRK gene fusion. It may improve how much thyroid cancer the RAI can reach and shrink.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–99 - NCT05783271Recruiting
MRI test accuracy for suspected bladder cancer
This study checks how accurate a specific MRI measurement method is for people who may have bladder cancer. It may help doctors choose the best way to confirm or rule out cancer using MRI.
Asyut, AssuitAges Any age - NCT05783609RecruitingPhase 2
Epcoritamab and rituximab for untreated follicular lymphoma
This phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of epcoritamab plus rituximab can work as a first treatment for follicular lymphoma. It may help people whose lymphoma is causing symptoms or affecting organs, or who have bulky disease, by targeting the lymphoma cells.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05784311RecruitingPhase 4
Longer vs shorter antibiotic prevention after pancreatoduodenectomy
This trial compares a standard length of preventive antibiotics versus a longer course after Whipple surgery to see if it lowers infection risk without causing extra side effects. It targets people considered higher risk for contamination of bile during surgery.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18–90 - NCT05784688RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TU2218 with Keytruda for advanced solid tumors
This trial studies TU2218 taken with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) in adults with advanced solid cancers that have limited treatment options. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors and is safe enough to keep using.
