Testing tumor genetics in young people with bone sarcomas
This study looks at the genetic (DNA) features of tumors in children, teens, and young adults with osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, or synovial sarcoma. It may help researchers better understand these cancers by analyzing a fresh tumor sample and a blood sample.
Torino, TurinAges Up to 24 years - NCT05718128RecruitingPhase 4
Study of taking heart muscle samples from the inside
This trial studies patients who need an endocardial myocardial biopsy, meaning a small heart muscle sample taken from inside the heart. It’s meant for people with heart problems whose cause is not clearly known and may help doctors learn more about what’s going on.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05034991Recruiting
Study blood flow in the uterus in endometrial cancer
This study looks at how blood flow in the uterus may relate to endometrial cancer. It may help researchers understand the disease better and guide future care.
Banqiao District, New TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT03385720Recruiting
Saving the submandibular gland during neck surgery
This study looks at whether a specific way of doing neck surgery can help preserve the salivary gland under your jaw in people with early-stage mouth cancer. It may reduce side effects related to saliva, while treating the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 90 years - NCT05054296RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise and Fitbit monitoring to lower heart risk in prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a structured exercise and lifestyle program, tracked with a Fitbit, can reduce cardiovascular (heart) risk in men with prostate cancer on hormone therapy. It also checks whether this is safe and feasible while monitoring symptoms and fitness changes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04998552Recruiting
CyberKnife radiation for certain pancreatic cancer patients after chemotherapy
This trial studies how safe CyberKnife is when used to treat some borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancers after chemotherapy. It may help patients by targeting the tumor with precise radiation, while researchers closely watch for side effects.
Pennington, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05763706Recruiting
Laser treatment for nerve pain after chemotherapy
This trial looks at whether light (photobiomodulation) and laser-like therapy can reduce nerve pain in people who developed neuropathy after chemotherapy. If you match the chemotherapy and language requirements, you may be screened to see if this treatment is safe and helpful for your symptoms.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05243082Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided heating treatment for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a procedure that uses an endoscope and ultrasound to heat (radiofrequency ablate) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It may help shrink tumors while aiming to be a less invasive option.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05580796RecruitingEarly Phase 1
TCR-T cell therapy for HLA-A*02 positive solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment made from your own blood to target certain solid tumors. You may be eligible if your tumor has a specific protein pattern and you have tried standard treatments without success.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05539833RecruitingEarly Phase 1
TCR-T cell therapy for HLA-A2 positive solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (TCR-T cells) made from your own immune cells. You may qualify if you have a solid tumor that shows a specific target on tumor cells and your body type (HLA-A2) matches what the therapy needs.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18–70 - NCT05204862RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TU2218 drug with PD-1 therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests TU2218 by itself and with PD-1–type immunotherapy (anti–PD-(L)1) in people with advanced solid cancers. It’s designed to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can shrink tumors when standard options have not worked.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05797077RecruitingPhase 3
After-surgery blood test–guided therapy for colon cancer liver spread
This Phase 3 trial tests whether an added “maintenance” treatment after liver surgery can help prevent colorectal cancer from coming back. It is only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) still shows signs of cancer after their operation.

Test blood and immune markers in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This study looks at immune-related blood/tissue markers to understand disease activity in people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after standard upfront treatment. If your cancer fits the pattern they’re studying, it may help researchers improve how future treatments are matched to patients.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT04047953Recruiting
Chemo for stomach cancer to make tumors easier to remove
This trial tests a combination chemotherapy plan—paclitaxel (albumin-bound), oxaliplatin, and S-1 given before surgery—to try to shrink stomach cancer and improve the chance of successful tumor removal. It is for people whose cancer is locally advanced or has spread, but might still be resectable (removable) in certain cases.
