AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05841914Recruiting
Testing a lab test to diagnose eye lymphoma from fluid
This trial checks how well a molecular (DNA/RNA) lab test can diagnose vitreo-retinal lymphoma, using eye fluid collected during a medically needed procedure. If you have signs doctors suspect this condition, the test may help confirm the diagnosis more accurately.
Lübeck, Schleswig-HolsteinAges 18 years+ - NCT05842044RecruitingPhase 2
NSAID pain medicine after robotic kidney-sparing surgery
This Phase 2 study looks at whether taking an anti-inflammatory pain medicine (an NSAID) after robotic partial nephrectomy is safe and helpful. It may reduce pain while checking for stomach, bleeding, and heart-related side effects after kidney-sparing surgery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT05842174RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Checking a new treatment approach for liver cancer needing TACE
This early-stage trial studies a new strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer) in people who are planned to receive TACE, a procedure that delivers treatment through the liver’s blood supply. It aims to test whether targeting a specific cell survival process can improve how well the treatment works and is tolerated.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05842603Recruiting
Lifestyle program to help people with MPN move more
This pilot study tests a lifestyle and movement program for adults with certain myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), aiming to improve well-being through safe exercise habits. You may be considered if you have an MPN and at least one heart-related risk factor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05842707RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cord blood CAR cells for hard-to-treat B-cell lymphoma
This Phase 1/2 study tests cord blood–derived CAR NK cells that are designed to attack lymphoma cells marked with CD19 and/or CD70. It is for people whose B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or did not respond to prior treatment, including CAR-T when applicable.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05842629Recruiting
Better ways to diagnose ovarian cancer
This study focuses on improving diagnosis of ovarian cancer. If you have an abnormal mass seen on ultrasound near the ovaries, the researchers may evaluate how best to identify whether it could be ovarian cancer.
AarhusAges Any age - NCT05842785RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for hard-to-treat advanced solid cancers or lymphomas
This early-phase study tests TSN222 in people with advanced, hard-to-treat solid tumors or lymphomas. It aims to see whether the drug can shrink tumors or improve outcomes, including in specific cancer types like head and neck cancer and melanoma.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05843253RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus everolimus or temozolomide for certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests ribociclib with either everolimus or temozolomide, depending on the specific brain tumor type. It may help slow tumor growth in children and young adults whose tumor has specific genetic changes and who have had recent standard radiation therapy.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1–39 - NCT05844046RecruitingPhase 2
Triple drug treatment for advanced liver cancer that can’t be removed
This Phase 2 trial tests three medicines together (durvalumab, tremelimumab, and bevacizumab) to treat non-surgical (non-resectable) liver cancer. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease progression by boosting the immune system and blocking tumor blood supply.
MunichAges 18 years+ - NCT05844514Recruiting
Breath test study for colorectal cancer detection and risk
This study tests a breath analysis (a sample you give by breathing into a device) to help detect or better understand colorectal cancer. It may help researchers see whether breath results can identify cancer sooner and in people who haven’t started treatment yet.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05844865Recruiting
GI cancer study using a lab tumor model from your surgery
This study uses a special lab model made from tumor tissue taken during a planned standard cancer surgery. It tests how well the lab model can represent your cancer, which may help researchers improve future treatments.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05846763Recruiting
Obinutuzumab plus lenalidomide for returning follicular lymphoma
This study looks at giving obinutuzumab together with lenalidomide to adults whose follicular lymphoma has come back or did not respond well to prior treatment. It may help control the cancer after relapse or resistance to standard therapies.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT05846750RecruitingPhase 2
Obinutuzumab plus lenalidomide for relapsed marginal zone lymphoma
This trial studies whether obinutuzumab combined with lenalidomide can control marginal zone lymphoma that has come back or not responded to prior treatment. If you qualify, you may receive these medicines together to help shrink tumors and improve symptoms.
Tianjin, TianAges 18 years+ - NCT05846880RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vitamin D3 supplement for people with multiple myeloma
This early-phase study tests whether taking a Vitamin D3 supplement can be safe and helpful for people with symptomatic multiple myeloma. It may help researchers understand how Vitamin D affects the disease and how patients tolerate treatment.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05847855Recruiting
Blood test to help detect certain early pancreatic tumors
This study looks at a special analysis of your blood (called cfDNA fragmentomics) to help find and tell apart certain early pancreatic tumors. If you’re having surgery for one of the listed solid pancreatic tumors, this trial may use your blood samples to improve diagnosis.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05847166Recruiting
Testing a PSMA-targeted treatment for prostate cancer
This trial studies a treatment that targets a protein called PSMA in people with prostate cancer. It may help shrink or control the cancer and is being tested in different risk groups and stages of disease.
Bydgoszcz, PolandAges 18 years+ - NCT05847348RecruitingPhase 3
PET scan for rising PSA after prostate cancer treatment
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a special PET scan using 68Ga-PSMA-11 can detect prostate cancer that has returned after surgery or radiation, measured by rising PSA. If the scan works well, it may help doctors find where the cancer is coming back.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05847569RecruitingPhase 2
Testing alternating doses of belantamab for hard-to-treat myeloma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether alternating doses and schedules of belantamab mafodotin can help people with multiple myeloma that has returned or kept progressing after several prior treatments.

Newborns with CD19 leukemia may try a combined infant therapy
This early-phase study is testing a “total therapy” treatment plan for very young babies (diagnosed within the first year of life) with certain types of leukemia that carry the CD19 marker. It may help find safer and more effective treatment for infants with this disease, especially soon after diagnosis.

Study of CD40 treatment with CAPOX and Keytruda for bile duct cancer
This trial studies a new immune “switch” treatment called CDX-1140 combined with standard chemo (CAPOX) and Keytruda, for biliary tract cancer that can’t be cured with surgery or transplant. It’s designed for people whose cancer has progressed after first-line treatment, with the goal of improving cancer control and outcomes.
