Screening brain MRI in advanced lung cancer patients
This trial looks at whether doing an MRI scan of the brain for people with stage IV lung cancer helps in their care. The goal is to find brain issues early (if present) so treatment decisions can be made sooner.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT05865002RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and drug test for AUR107 in advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests whether AUR107 is safe and may help shrink or control advanced solid tumors that have come back or progressed. You may be considered if standard treatments no longer work and you meet specific blood, organ, and health requirements.
Vijayawada, Andhra PradeshAges 18 years+ - NCT05864976Recruiting
MRI planning help for people with suspected brain tumor
This trial uses a special MRI approach and computer analysis to help plan neurosurgery for adults with a brain lesion that looks like glioblastoma. It may improve how surgeons find and navigate the target area before an operation.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05865301Recruiting
Outcomes after approved immunotherapy for young blood cancer patients
This study looks at the real-world results of treating certain B-cell blood cancers in children and young adults with commercially available immunotherapy. It may help doctors better understand how these treatments work for patients after relapse or when they need additional therapy.
Tucson, ArizonaAges Up to 26 years - NCT05865730RecruitingPhase 2
Oncobax immune treatment for advanced lung and kidney cancers
This trial tests Oncobax®-AK, an immune-based treatment, in people with advanced (stage IV) non-squamous lung cancer or clear cell kidney cancer. It seeks to see if the treatment can help cancer respond better and whether it is safe for patients who meet specific immune and health requirements.
MonsAges 18 years+ - NCT05865743RecruitingPhase 3
Antibiotic cloth before surgery to prevent esophagus infection
This Phase 3 trial tests whether using an antibiotic decolonization treatment around the time of esophagus surgery can reduce serious infections afterward. It may help you lower the risk of postoperative infectious complications after curative esophagectomy or esophagus reconstruction.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05867004Recruiting
Block TNF to boost immune response in melanoma
This study looks at using a drug that blocks TNF to help the immune system “wake up” better when using cancer immunotherapy for melanoma. You may be eligible only if you are already enrolled in two specific related trials.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT05866432RecruitingPhase 2
Dato-DXd for triple-negative breast cancer brain metastases
This trial studies Dato-DXd (an antibody-drug medicine) in people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to see how well it controls brain tumors when they are newly found or growing after other treatments.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–100 - NCT05866757Recruiting
Stopping maintenance treatment in multiple myeloma patients
This study looks at whether it is safe to stop “maintenance” treatment for people with multiple myeloma who have been in remission for a long time, including those who stopped early because of side effects. It tests whether stopping therapy affects disease control and helps reduce ongoing treatment burden.
Cork, IrelandAges 18 years+ - NCT05866783Recruiting
Blood test to predict cancer coming back after liver transplant
This study uses a blood test (looking at sugars in the blood) to help predict whether liver cancer will come back after a liver transplant. It may help doctors monitor you more accurately and earlier if cancer returns.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT05867186Recruiting
Get fit during childhood cancer treatment and aftercare
This trial tests a “fit to fight” program to help children and teens stay active during and after cancer treatment. It aims to support physical and possibly emotional well-being while treatment is happening, based on whether your care team thinks it’s safe and helpful for you.
Mainz, Rhineland-PalatinateAges 3–21 - NCT05867251RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AVZO-021 for advanced breast and ovarian cancers
This early-stage study tests AVZO-021, a new anti-cancer medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors like specific types of breast and ovarian (or related) cancers. It’s meant to find the safest dose and look for signs the medicine can shrink tumors, especially in cancers with certain gene changes.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05867706Recruiting
Study of caregiver stress after a loved one is near end of life
This study looks at how stress and grief affect caregivers of people with a terminal illness. It may help researchers understand what support or changes could help caregivers cope during the last months of life.
