This trial tests a specialized way of planning radiation (“dose painting”) for people with cancer of the sinuses after they’ve had endoscopic surgery. It may help deliver the right radiation dose to different tumor areas while sparing nearby normal tissues.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT05943262Recruiting
Microscope study using tumor samples during brain tumor surgery
This study tests a special imaging microscope on tumor tissue taken during brain tumor removal surgery. The goal is to better understand brain connections and how tumor cells signal, which may improve future diagnosis or treatments.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05943444Recruiting
Compares two ways to preserve bowel function after rectal surgery
This trial compares two surgical techniques to see which one better preserves anal function after surgery for low rectal cancer. If you may be eligible for anal-preserving surgery, it may help your care team choose the approach that best protects bowel control.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05943496RecruitingPhase 1
Tafasitamab plus acalabrutinib and obinutuzumab for untreated CLL/SLL
This Phase 1 study tests a new combination of medicines to treat people whose chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) has not been treated before and needs therapy. It aims to shrink the disease and control it safely in this early testing stage.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT05943522Recruiting
Study of asciminib in adults with Ph+ CML on Scemblix
This trial looks at using asciminib in people with Philadelphia chromosome–positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) who are taking Scemblix. If you already use Scemblix, the study may test whether switching or adding asciminib is safe and helpful for managing your leukemia.
Wŏnju, Gangwon-doAges 18–100 - NCT05944237RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early trial for advanced cancers using HTL0039732
This is a Phase 1/2 study testing how well HTL0039732 works and is tolerated in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It may help by offering a new treatment option and learning which cancer types and body markers respond best.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT05944913Recruiting
Testing a special wound dressing after sarcoma tumor removal
This trial compares two types of wound dressings after surgery for soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) that has had radiation therapy. It aims to see whether one dressing helps your wound heal better after tumor removal.
Nantes, Pays de LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT05945524Recruiting
Study of how teclistamab works in multiple myeloma patients
This study looks closely at patients’ immune cells to understand why teclistamab helps in multiple myeloma. Your participation could help doctors better predict who benefits and how the treatment works.
Amiens, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05945407Recruiting
Fertility-sparing treatment for early endometrial cancer
This trial looks at a fertility-preserving treatment plan for people with early-stage endometrial cancer who want to keep the ability to have children. It may help you avoid surgery that removes fertility, if you meet the trial’s safety and eligibility rules.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT05945745Recruiting
Molecular testing and treatment options for small cell lung cancer
This trial is for adults with small cell lung cancer where your diagnosis is confirmed by a tissue test. The study looks at molecular (tumor-level) features to help guide treatment choices that may fit you better.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05945875RecruitingPhase 1
Dual scans to find head and neck cancer spread
This early-stage study tests two different imaging (scanning) methods to better detect head and neck cancer. Your results from the scans may help doctors see where disease is before standard surgery to remove lymph nodes in the neck.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT05946213RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation works as well as the usual longer course for people with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and inconvenience.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05946824RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for prostate cancer that returned after surgery
This trial tests a new way of delivering radiation for prostate cancer that has come back after prostate surgery. It may help control the cancer by targeting the “prostate bed” area or nearby lymph nodes where it returned.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05947045Recruiting
Virtual reality cognitive training during brain tumor radiotherapy
This trial tests whether a computer-based cognitive training program in a virtual reality setting can help children think and learn while they are getting radiation for a brain tumor. You and a parent will decide together if it’s a good fit, and the child must be able to complete the study tasks.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 8–22 - NCT05947487RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T treatment for CD70-positive advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a lab-made immune therapy (CAR-T) designed to attack cancers that have a protein called CD70. It may help people whose solid tumor has not responded to standard treatment, but it also requires specific lab confirmation and careful health screening.
