Surgery vs chemo before surgery for low-risk rectal cancer
This trial compares two approaches for low-risk locally advanced rectal cancer: going straight to surgery (TME) versus receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if upfront surgery works just as well, sparing patients from chemotherapy side effects.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05984875Recruiting
Immune system study for ovarian cancer
This study looks at how the immune system works in people with epithelial ovarian cancer. It aims to understand the immune landscape around the tumor, which could lead to better treatments in the future.

Palliative rehab for incurable solid tumors
This trial tests a short-term program that combines palliative care and rehabilitation to help people with incurable solid cancers stay active and manage symptoms. It's for those who have some trouble with daily activities but still want to improve their quality of life.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT05984888Recruiting
MIND diet study for women with breast cancer
This study is testing whether a special diet called the MIND diet can help women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who are getting treatment. The diet focuses on foods that are good for the brain, like leafy greens and berries.
Columbus, OhioAges 45–75 - NCT05985161RecruitingPhase 2
Selinexor for wilms tumor and other solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called selinexor for children and young adults with certain types of solid tumors (like Wilms tumor, rhabdoid tumors, MPNST, or others with specific genetic changes) that have come back or not responded to standard treatment. Participants take selinexor pills to see if it can shrink or control their cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1 year+ - NCT05985109RecruitingPhase 2
KN 046 plus regorafenib for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, KN 046 and regorafenib, in people with a type of advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the tumor.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05985954RecruitingPhase 1
Ulixertinib with cetuximab for colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether the drug ulixertinib, combined with cetuximab (and sometimes encorafenib), can help people with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer who have already tried EGFR or BRAF-targeted therapy. It aims to find new treatment options for these patients.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05986240RecruitingPhase 1
Danvatirsen with or without venetoclax for advanced MDS or AML
This trial tests a new drug called danvatirsen, first alone and then combined with venetoclax, for people with advanced myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if this approach can help when other options have stopped working.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05988060Recruiting
Exercise support during radiation for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether a structured exercise program during radiation therapy helps people with head and neck cancer feel better and stay stronger. You will do supervised exercises while you receive your usual cancer treatment.
Tilburg, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT05987644RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Timing of brain radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer with brain mets
This trial tests whether it is better to delay brain radiation or give it right away in people with ALK-positive lung cancer that has spread to the brain and is causing few or no symptoms. If you are starting alectinib, you may be able to join and help find the best timing for radiation.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05988645Recruiting
