BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05806580RecruitingPhase 4
Second relma-cel infusion for returning B-cell lymphoma
This trial looks at giving a second dose of relma-cel (a type of CAR-T therapy) for B-cell lymphoma that came back or did not fully respond after the first treatment. It may help shrink tumors again, but it requires that side effects from the first treatment and pre-chemo are mostly gone and that you meet infection and blood-test safety checks.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05806515RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin before surgery for high-risk BRCA prostate cancer
This trial tests giving the chemotherapy drug carboplatin before surgery to treat people with high-risk prostate cancer and an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene change. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer before an operation and improve outcomes.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT05806931RecruitingPhase 2
Alternating two pills plus bevacizumab for advanced colon cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment plan that alternates two cancer pills and adds bevacizumab (a blood-vessel drug) for metastatic colon cancer that has come back or worsened after standard treatment. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth after later-line therapy options.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05807035RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized vaccine made from your tumor tissue
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized (autologous) vaccine made from your own tumor tissue. It’s designed for people with advanced cancers who have already had at least one treatment and may still have options for getting tumor tissue for the vaccine.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges Any age - NCT05807789Recruiting
Genetic testing during CAR-T treatment for adults
This study looks at a patient’s genetic (molecular) information while they receive CAR-T cell therapy. The goal is to better understand how different biological factors may affect CAR-T treatment.
Bologna, ItalyAges 18–70 - NCT05809180Recruiting
Tested chemo regimen for newly diagnosed older adults with DLBCL
This study tests a “mini-CHOP-like” chemotherapy plan for newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in people age 70 and older. It may help you learn whether this gentler regimen works well and is safe in older adults who are newly starting treatment.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 70 years+ - NCT05808933Recruiting
MRI test before surgery for early cervical cancer spread risk
This trial studies whether a special MRI scan can better predict whether early cervical cancer has spread into tiny lymph and blood vessels (lymphovascular space invasion) before surgery. If it works, it may help doctors plan the best treatment after surgery.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT05808634RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an investigational drug for advanced lung or gut cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests BA3182, an investigational medicine, in people with advanced adenocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see how the treatment works and whether it’s tolerated, and it may offer an option when standard options have been limited.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05808712Recruiting
Study how cancer care feels when surgery is stopped
This study looks at the quality of cancer care and patient experience in people over 18 who have gastrointestinal cancer diagnoses. It especially focuses on situations where cancer surgery is aborted or stopped and asks patients to complete a Swedish questionnaire.
LinköpingAges 18 years+ - NCT05808920Recruiting
Salvage surgery study for recurrent head and neck skin-cell cancer
This study looks at how well people do after “salvage” surgery (planned surgery after prior treatment) for recurrent or residual squamous cell cancer in the head and neck. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most, including how this surgery affects survival and day-to-day function.
DerbyAges 18 years+ - NCT05810571Recruiting
Pain-control injections compared after open kidney surgery
This study compares two types of pain-control injections placed near the back to see which works better after open kidney (nephrectomy) surgery. If you’re having elective open nephrectomy, it may help doctors choose the safest and most effective way to reduce postoperative pain.
İzmitAges 18–85 - NCT05809869RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus liver radiation for metastatic liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining an immunotherapy drug with a special type of liver radiation (yttrium-90) can control metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer that has spread). It may help by boosting your immune system and shrinking liver tumors at the same time.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05810402Recruiting
Testing immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer using blood tests
