This trial tests whether a different starting dose (and adjustments) of niraparib can help people with advanced ovarian (or related) cancer stay on treatment without as many dose interruptions. It’s designed for people who have already finished first-line chemotherapy and whose cancer responded.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05961111RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Oncolytic virus injection for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests an injection of a virus designed to attack cancer cells in people with advanced solid tumors. It is meant for situations where standard treatments have not worked (or you can’t/won’t take them) and when doctors can directly deliver the treatment to a tumor spot.
Linyi, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT05961410RecruitingPhase 2
Eltrombopag to help collect stem cells for lymphoma treatment
This Phase 2 study tests eltrombopag to improve collection of peripheral blood stem cells in adults with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. If you’re getting a planned chemotherapy mobilization (like ESHAP, with or without an antibody), this trial may see whether eltrombopag can help your body collect the needed stem cells for transplant or further treatment.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05961761RecruitingPhase 2
Testing propranolol plus pembrolizumab for advanced sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining propranolol (a blood-pressure/heart medicine) with pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) can help people with advanced angiosarcoma or undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma that has progressed after first-line chemotherapy. It aims to slow tumor growth and improve outcomes while also studying tumor markers from your biopsy tissue.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05961969Recruiting
Robotic rectal surgery for early-to-mid rectal cancer
This trial tests a robotic, top-down approach to remove certain rectal tumors using an intersphincteric resection (a surgery that preserves bowel control as much as possible). It may help some people with stage I–III rectal cancer avoid a bigger operation and improve outcomes compared with standard surgical methods.
TaipeiAges 20–75 - NCT05961982Recruiting
EUS-guided heat treatment for pancreatic cysts
This study tests whether an endoscopy-based “radiofrequency ablation” (controlled heating) can manage certain pancreatic cysts that look high-risk. It’s designed for people who are not good candidates for surgery, aiming to shrink or control the cyst safely.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05962242RecruitingPhase 2
HPV-tested de-escalated radiation for HPV-related throat cancer
This Phase 2 study uses HPV test results from your tumor to safely lower (de-intensify) the strength of radiation for some HPV-positive oropharyngeal throat cancers. It aims to reduce side effects while keeping cancer control effective.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05962541RecruitingPhase 4
Using bladder scans to plan repeat surgery for bladder cancer
This trial checks whether a bladder scan and score (VI-RADS from MRI) can help doctors choose the right way to do a second look surgery for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to reduce the chance of needing extra (“secondary”) resections while still catching important disease early.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT05962502RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab plus irinotecan for left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding cetuximab to irinotecan can control metastatic colorectal cancer that has returned or worsened after standard treatments. It targets people whose tumor is left-sided and shows “wild-type” RAS and BRAF genes on blood testing after prior therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05962892Recruiting
Study of thyroid cancer return risk after heat ablation
This study looks at what makes papillary thyroid cancer come back after a heat-based treatment called thermal ablation. It may help doctors better predict recurrence risk and guide follow-up after treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05963217RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a patient’s own CAR T cells for CD19 cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized form of CAR T cell treatment made from your own immune cells to fight certain CD19-positive blood cancers that have returned or not responded to prior treatment. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment can work.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05963061Recruiting
CML real-world patient data for people with chronic CML
This trial is a real-life study that collects information from people living with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It may help doctors understand how CML treatments are used in practice and how well they work over time.
AnnecyAges Any age - NCT05963191Recruiting
Test camera bowel scan for early Lynch syndrome lesions
This study tests a special CAD-EYE system to help detect abnormal (potentially cancer-related) growths during colonoscopy in people with Lynch syndrome. It may improve how reliably clinicians find lesions early, when treatment can be easier.
ParisAges 18–90 - NCT05963347RecruitingPhase 2
Go-CHOP for untreated peripheral T-cell lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests how well Go-CHOP works as the first treatment for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) subtypes. It aims to see whether adding golidocitinib to standard chemotherapy can control the lymphoma and improve outcomes.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT05963464Recruiting
Marker-assisted breast surgery for hard-to-feel tumors
This study tests a small implantable “marker” system (used to help doctors find the tumor or lymph node during breast surgery) for people with breast or lymph node areas that can’t be felt. It may help surgery planning and accuracy when the cancer can’t be easily located by touch.
MilanAges 18–90 - NCT05963971Recruiting
Bilingual online program to prevent weight gain in childhood leukemia
This trial tests a bilingual, online program to help children and teens who have ALL (a type of leukemia) stay at a healthy weight during the maintenance phase of treatment. It may help lower the chance of gaining too much weight while on chemotherapy.
New York, New YorkAges 5–21 - NCT05964504Recruiting
Registry study for metastatic lobular breast cancer
This study collects health information from adults with invasive lobular breast cancer that has spread (metastatic) to help researchers understand factors linked to survival. Joining may help build better knowledge for future treatments and care planning.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05964530Recruiting
Testing local removal versus radical surgery for rectal cancer
This trial looks at whether removing the rectal tumor locally (through the anus) can work as well as a more extensive operation after scans show no remaining cancer. It may help some people avoid bigger surgery if the cancer truly appears gone after treatment.
TaipeiAges 18–75 - NCT05965024Recruiting
Using ctDNA blood tests to predict lung cancer return after surgery
This study checks whether a special blood test (ctDNA) taken before and after surgery can predict whether non-small cell lung cancer will come back. If it works, it may help doctors spot recurrence earlier and guide follow-up care after tumor removal.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05965115Recruiting
Screening study for family members of multiple myeloma patients
This trial screens first-degree relatives of people with multiple myeloma to check for early signs of the disease before symptoms. It may help doctors understand risk in families and find problems sooner if they occur.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05965180Recruiting
Fine-needle scan during prostate biopsy
This study tests a special fine-needle “photoacoustic” scan used during a planned prostate biopsy. It aims to better assess prostate cancer tissue patterns, which may improve how doctors evaluate biopsies.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 40–80 - NCT05965479RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test to guide extra stomach or esophagus cancer treatment
This trial checks whether a blood test after surgery (ctDNA) can help decide if you should receive additional “adjuvant” treatment for stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or lower esophagus cancer that has HER2-positive tumors. It may help reduce the chance of cancer coming back by tailoring therapy to your risk based on the ctDNA result.
Guildford, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT05965531RecruitingPhase 2
TAS-102 plus radiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding TAS-102 (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation given before treatment improves outcomes for certain locally advanced rectal cancers. It may help by trying to shrink the tumor before the next steps of care.
