Study drug for advanced bladder and other solid cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests BL-B01D1 to treat people with advanced or metastatic urothelial (urinary tract) cancer and other solid tumors. You may be eligible if standard treatments are no longer working or are not available, and you can meet safety and cancer-measurement requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05785052Recruiting
Study kidney cancer clues in blood or tissue markers
This study looks for “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs (often from blood or tissue), to better understand kidney cancer. It may help doctors identify who has kidney cancer and how it behaves.
FlorenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05785741RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
DB-1310 for advanced solid tumors after standard treatment fails
This early-phase study tests DB-1310 in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have come back or worsened after standard treatments. It aims to find the safest dose and whether it can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05786742Recruiting
Radiation plan test for early prostate cancer with a boost
This trial tests a more concentrated radiation schedule for early-stage prostate cancer, using an extra high-dose “boost” delivered from inside the body. It may help by treating the prostate more precisely while aiming to keep side effects manageable.
QuébecAges 18–95 - NCT05786716RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Trastuzumab plus pertuzumab for HER2-mutated cancers
This trial tests whether combining trastuzumab and pertuzumab can treat cancers that have HER2 amplification or an activating HER2 mutation. It looks at people ages 12 and older, and may include both children/teens and adults, using the study drug based on their HER2 test results.
BelfastAges 12 years+ - NCT05787197Recruiting
Blood test to guide treatment after colon cancer liver surgery
This trial studies a blood test (called ctDNA) in people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver and is being removed with curative surgery. The goal is to see how the blood test can help with planning and improving treatment after surgery.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05789303RecruitingPhase 2
Belantamab plus other medicines for relapsed multiple myeloma
This Phase 2 study tests whether belantamab mafodotin combined with carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone can better treat multiple myeloma that has come back. It may help people who have already tried other myeloma treatments but whose cancer has progressed again.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05789082RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Divarasib for untreated lung cancer with KRAS G12C
This trial studies divarasib to see if it is safe and can shrink or control advanced lung cancer. Participants must have a KRAS G12C mutation and have not had prior treatment for their advanced disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05790213RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy plus targeted prostate treatment for intermediate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining hormone treatment (androgen deprivation therapy) with focal ablation (targeted destruction of prostate tissue) controls intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It may help some men avoid or reduce more aggressive treatment, while still aiming for cancer control.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05789433Recruiting
Aerobic exercise study after colon or rectal cancer surgery
This trial studies whether a supervised aerobic exercise program helps muscles “remodel” (change/strengthen) after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It may help people improve physical function during recovery, but you can only join if it’s safe for you and you can follow the study plan.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05789394RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell treatment for recurrent brain tumor surgery
This Phase 1 study tests an “allogenic” stem cell product made from donated fat tissue to treat recurrent glioblastoma or certain recurrent astrocytoma. It gives the treatment around the time of a repeat brain surgery, and focuses on safety while also studying why it might help.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05789485RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise program to reduce treatment side effects in GI cancer
This trial studies whether a structured exercise plan can lessen side effects from chemotherapy in people with colorectal or stomach/esophagus solid tumors. If you’re about to start chemotherapy, the study will check whether exercising helps you feel and function better during treatment.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05789901Recruiting
Using a Facebook chatbot to share health information
This study tests whether a Facebook Messenger chatbot can provide helpful health information for different conditions. You may help researchers check if people can use the chatbot and understand the information.
Montreal, QuebecAges 14 years+ - NCT05790850Recruiting
Mindfulness and exercise plan before bladder surgery
This study tests whether a structured mindfulness and high-intensity exercise program before radical bladder surgery can help patients improve health and recovery. You may be asked to use monitoring devices and complete questionnaires during the study.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–90 - NCT05791149Recruiting
Saliva test to help diagnose oral cavity cancer
This study looks for changes in saliva (epigenetic biomarkers) that may help doctors diagnose squamous cell carcinoma in the mouth. You may be asked for saliva samples and usual clinical checks to see whether the test can help with diagnosis, especially before surgery.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT05792007Recruiting
Study of bone marrow environment in childhood leukemia
This study looks at what the bone marrow “microenvironment” is like in children newly diagnosed with acute leukemia, to better understand the disease. It also compares leukemia samples to samples from children having certain orthopedic surgery.
ToursAges 1–15 - NCT05793333Recruiting
Study looks at what predicts lymph node spread in uterine cancer
This study uses tumor tissue and genetic test results to understand which features predict whether lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) are cancer-positive in endometrial (uterine) cancer. It mainly helps doctors improve how they predict spread and tailor care.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05792722Recruiting
Testing a prostate-sparing bladder surgery for bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a “prostate-sparing” radical cystectomy is safe and effective for bladder cancer patients who are having surgery. It aims to see if this approach can treat bladder cancer while reducing prostate-related side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05793034Recruiting
Study factors that predict survival after aggressive meningioma surgery
This study looks at people who had surgery for more aggressive meningiomas (grade 2 or 3) and tries to learn what factors relate to survival. The results may help doctors better predict outcomes for future patients.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT05793151Recruiting
Guided care to start cancer treatment on time after surgery
This trial tests a navigation program (help from a care coordinator) versus usual care to help people start the recommended “next-step” treatments (like radiation, sometimes with chemo) on time after surgery. It’s for certain stages of squamous cell cancer in the head and neck area where late treatment could matter.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05793554Recruiting
AI checks cancer type during rectal surgery in real time
This study tests an AI system that helps identify cancer or polyp findings during rectal surgery or assessment, using real-time information. It may help surgeons classify tissue more accurately while you are already getting treatment.
Dublin, IrelandAges 18 years+ - NCT05793801Recruiting
Changing PICC dressing frequency in acute leukemia care
This trial studies how often PICC line dressings are changed in people with acute myeloid leukemia who are getting intensive chemotherapy and are at high risk for serious infection. The goal is to see whether changing dressings more or less often affects infection risk or other outcomes.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT05793749Recruiting
Prevent leg swelling after gynecologic cancer treatment
This study tests an early approach to help prevent lower-limb lymphedema (chronic leg swelling) after lymph node surgery and radiotherapy for gynecologic cancer. If you’re at risk, it may help your legs stay less swollen and reduce complications.
