PET scan using an integrin marker to find cancer
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan that targets a protein on some cancer cells to help detect and evaluate malignant tumors. It may help doctors better map tumors before any cancer treatment starts.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–85 - NCT05835739Recruiting
Study of breast cancer prevention in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers
This is an observational study that looks at how different cancer prevention approaches affect women with harmful (deleterious) BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. It may help improve future prevention and follow-up plans for women at higher inherited risk.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT05836688Recruiting
Biobehavioral program to help young testicular cancer survivors
This study tests a counseling-style (biobehavioral) program to help reduce upsetting outcomes in young adult testicular cancer survivors. It focuses on people who feel high distress after treatment and aims to improve well-being and coping.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18–39 - NCT05836896RecruitingPhase 1
Safety check of BCMA CAR T-cells made from your own immune cells
This early-phase trial tests whether a personalized BCMA-targeting CAR T-cell treatment is safe and what dose is tolerable in people whose lymphoma or myeloma has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. If you qualify, the team will monitor you closely for side effects to find the safest maximum tolerated dose.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT05837221Recruiting
Study of the mouth microbiome in oral cancer
This study looks at the types of bacteria in the mouth (the microbiome) in people with oral squamous cell cancer and compares them to people without this cancer. It may help researchers understand what’s different in oral cancer and what could be useful for diagnosis or treatment planning.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT05837260Recruiting
Tracking tumor DNA changes in advanced thyroid cancers
This study looks at a small blood test (called ctDNA) and tumor tissue to understand how advanced thyroid cancers change over time. It may help doctors better monitor cancer growth and guide treatment choices.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05837429Recruiting
Exercise training for early lung cancer survivors after surgery
This trial studies a low-time, high-intensity interval exercise program in people with non-small cell lung cancer who are stable and in remission after surgery. It may help improve fitness and recovery without requiring long exercise sessions.
Ankara, SıhhiyeAges 18–80 - NCT05837455RecruitingPhase 2
Biomarker-guided treatment for early breast cancer before surgery
This trial looks at whether using tumor test results (biomarkers) can help guide the best hormone treatment and chemotherapy before surgery. It focuses on people with stage II or III, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, with the goal of improving how well the tumor responds before it is removed.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05838053Recruiting
Segmentectomy versus lobectomy for small lung cancer
This trial compares two types of lung surgery—removing a small lung segment versus removing an entire lung lobe—for small lung adenocarcinoma (≤ 2 cm). It may help you choose the safest approach that still controls the cancer.
Yangpu, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–79 - NCT05838066RecruitingPhase 3
KN026 plus HB1801 for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether taking KN026 with HB1801 as first treatment works better and is safe for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has come back or spread. It may help by improving tumor response and delaying progression compared with the study’s treatment plan.
Beijing, chaoyangAges 18 years+ - NCT05838001Recruiting
Testing two ways to locate non-tumor-feel breast cancer
This trial compares two techniques for finding breast tumors that cannot be felt by hand after initial (neoadjuvant) treatment. If successful, it may make breast-conserving surgery more accurate when the tumor has become “non-palpable.”
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05838391Recruiting
Targeted radiation approach for anal cancer
This trial tests an adaptive, image-guided radiation plan for anal canal squamous-type cancers. It may help deliver effective treatment while adjusting the radiation based on how your body and tumor respond.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05838638Recruiting
Serious game tool to reduce chemo nausea and vomiting
This study tests a “serious game” (a game designed for health) to help people feel less nauseated and vomit less during chemotherapy. It focuses on adults who are newly diagnosed and starting chemotherapy on a short, repeating schedule.
Miami, FloridaAges 60 years+ - NCT05838599RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Imiquimod cream plus local radiation for skin lymphoma lesions
This early-stage study tests whether a cancer-killing cream (imiquimod) combined with targeted local radiation can shrink and control mycosis fungoides skin lesions. It may help people whose skin lymphoma has not responded to at least one prior standard treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT05838716RecruitingPhase 3
Vitamin D During Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer
This trial studies whether taking vitamin D while you are on prostate hormone therapy (ADT) affects your health outcomes. It may help by keeping vitamin D levels in a safe range during treatment.
Newark, DelawareAges 50 years+ - NCT05838729RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RiMO-301 plus radiation with PD-1 therapy for head-neck cancer
This trial studies RiMO-301 injection combined with palliative radiation and a PD-1 immune therapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) for head and neck cancer that cannot be fully removed. It aims to see whether this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes safely.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05839210Recruiting
Diet and exercise coaching for lymphoma survivors
This study tests whether a Mediterranean-style diet and home exercise plan can improve health and recovery in people who have been treated for non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin lymphoma with chemotherapy. You may also be placed on a waitlist/control group to compare outcomes.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05839392Recruiting
Targeting MECOM/EVI1 in AML
This trial studies new ways to target a specific genetic change in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), called MECOM or atypical 3q26 rearrangements. If your leukemia test shows one of these changes, the study may offer a treatment approach aimed at that target.
PiacenzaAges 18 years+ - NCT05839678Recruiting
Diagnosing and treating cysts in the front chest
This study focuses on how to tell different types of cysts in the front part of the chest (the anterior mediastinum) apart, and how to manage them. It may help by using results to improve diagnosis and treatment decisions for people with thymic, bronchogenic, pericardial, or similar cysts.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05839834Recruiting
Blood test to detect cancer using RNA
This study checks whether a blood-based test that looks at “RNA signals” can detect cancer. If you qualify, you may have extra blood taken to help test how accurate the method is.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–90 - NCT05839912Recruiting
Surgery study for melanoma in one lymph node basin
This trial tests whether removing a clinically involved lymph node basin (via a specific lymph node excision surgery) after certain melanoma findings is helpful. It mainly aims to see effects on outcomes and on arm/leg swelling (lymphedema) after surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05840484Recruiting
Monitoring study for men on active surveillance
This trial follows men with prostate cancer who choose “active surveillance” instead of immediate treatment. It tests whether careful tracking (including patient reports) can help manage cancer over time and guide decision-making.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05840575Recruiting
Study of thinking changes in young people during cancer treatment
This study looks at how thinking and memory may change in children and young adults after a new cancer diagnosis, especially around chemotherapy. It may help doctors better understand and track brain-related side effects early.
CopenhagenAges 7–29 - NCT05841186Recruiting
Timing Pegfilgrastim Dose in Breast Cancer Patients
This study looks at whether changing the timing of pegfilgrastim (a medicine used to help prevent low white blood cell counts during chemotherapy) affects outcomes in people with primary breast cancer. It may help your care team choose the best dosing schedule for you during treatment.
