This trial tests whether prednisone (an anti-inflammatory steroid) can help protect the liver in people with hepatocellular carcinoma who are getting stereotactic body radiation therapy. It may reduce liver stress from radiation and help you tolerate treatment safely.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05901545RecruitingPhase 1
Test an iodine-labeled drug to map neck lymph nodes
This Phase 1 study tests a labelling of panitumumab with iodine (111In) to see how well it can identify lymph nodes in head and neck cancer before surgery. The goal is to improve lymph node staging (which can help guide treatment), with the main focus on safety and early performance.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT05901974RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus azacitidine for newly diagnosed ALAL
This Phase 2 study tests whether venetoclax combined with azacitidine can help people with ALAL (an “ambiguous” type of acute leukemia). It also checks whether the combination is safe for newly diagnosed patients with adequate heart, liver, and kidney health.
SuzhouAges 15 years+ - NCT05902559Recruiting

LondonAges 55–74 - NCT05902507Recruiting
MRI guidance during breast cancer radiation treatment
This trial studies using MRI images to help plan and guide radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery. It may help doctors target the right area more accurately while keeping treatment standard and safe.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05903092RecruitingPhase 2
Monalizumab plus durvalumab for small cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding monalizumab to durvalumab (two immune-targeting medicines) can improve outcomes in people with small cell lung cancer. You may be able to join if you have certain stage of small cell lung cancer and have not had the specific prior treatments the study allows.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05902988RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of VLS-1488 for advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests VLS-1488, a new cancer medicine, in people with advanced cancers that have limited treatment options. It may help by finding a safe dose and whether it can shrink or control tumors.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05903131RecruitingPhase 2
Lifestyle program to help keep the uterus in early cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a lifestyle transformation can help treat complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia or early (grade 1) endometrial cancer without removing the uterus. It may help support uterine preservation for people who want to keep fertility or avoid hysterectomy.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05903430Recruiting
MRI-guided focused radiation for limited spread cancer
This feasibility study tests whether MRI-guided, highly focused radiation can be safely delivered to tumors in the abdomen or central lung. It may help patients with a small number of metastases by aiming treatment more precisely and gathering detailed outcomes for future care.
Manchester, United KingdomAges 18 years+ - NCT05903196Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment for non-cancer thyroid lumps in LatinX adults
This study looks at radiofrequency ablation, a heat-based procedure, to shrink a benign (non-cancer) thyroid nodule in adults who identify as LatinX. It may help reduce symptoms from the lump while tracking safety and results.
New York, New YorkAges 18–90 - NCT05903885Recruiting
Colorectal cancer screening help for Black adults in Nebraska
This study looks at how to improve colorectal cancer prevention and health equity for Black or African American adults. You may be invited because you may be due for colorectal cancer screening based on age and screening history.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 45–75 - NCT05903833RecruitingPhase 2
Study pembrolizumab and lenvatinib for advanced vulvar cancer
This trial tests whether combining pembrolizumab with lenvatinib can shrink and control advanced vulvar squamous cell cancer that can’t be fully treated with surgery or strong radiation. It may help some people live longer and better control symptoms, but it also requires close monitoring and specific health criteria.
AugsburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05904119RecruitingPhase 3
Lomustine with or without re-irradiation for recurring glioblastoma
This trial studies whether adding repeat radiation (called re-irradiation) to the chemotherapy medicine lomustine can slow or control glioblastoma that has returned or progressed after standard treatment. It’s designed for people whose tumor comes back at least 6 months after their last radiation.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT05904340Recruiting
Acupuncture-like electrical stimulation for nerve pain after chemo
This trial studies whether a skin-applied, acupuncture-like electrical treatment can reduce ongoing nerve pain (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy) after breast cancer chemotherapy. It may help if your nerve symptoms have not improved after finishing chemo.
Changhua, ChanghuaAges 18–80 - NCT05904782Recruiting
Brief positive-activity coaching for caregivers of advanced cancer
This trial tests a short program meant to support caregivers’ positive feelings while they care for someone with stage IV cancer. If you’re eligible, you may be asked to complete study activities by phone or internet for a set period of time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05904964RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted drug for hormone-positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests disitamab vedotin (a targeted drug) in people with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer that can’t be cured with surgery or radiation. It aims to see whether the drug can control the cancer better than current standard care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05905887RecruitingPhase 2
Rivoceranib and paclitaxel for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining rivoceranib with paclitaxel can shrink or control advanced metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) after standard medicines have stopped working. It may help people whose GIST has progressed despite prior treatments like imatinib, sunitinib, and regorafenib.
Seoul, SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT05906407Recruiting
Genetic-guided treatment planning for high-risk early breast cancer
This study uses tumor genetic testing to help plan more precise treatment for people with early high-risk breast cancer. You may be asked to give a recent tumor sample so researchers can match your cancer features with the best available options.
AugsburgAges 18–80 - NCT05907057RecruitingPhase 3
Ivosidenib plus azacitidine for newly diagnosed AML
