Electrical sensing for real-time cancer margin check during prostate surgery
This study tests a new device that uses tiny electrical sensors to help surgeons check if all the cancer has been removed during prostate cancer surgery. It could give real-time feedback so the surgeon can remove leftover cancer right away.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06038578RecruitingPhase 2
TRK-950 with standard chemo for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new drug, TRK-950, added to standard chemotherapy (ramucirumab and paclitaxel) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has worsened after previous treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06039111Recruiting
Comparing two dyes for lymph node mapping in vulvar cancer
This study compares two methods for finding the first lymph node (sentinel node) that may contain cancer in people with vulvar cancer. It uses a dye called indocyanine green alone or with a radioactive tracer (technetium) to see which approach works better for staging the disease.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06039631RecruitingPhase 2
Immuno-chemo before surgery and organ-sparing treatment for throat cancer
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy before surgery, followed by either radiation or organ-preserving surgery, can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. It may help avoid complete removal of the voice box.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06039644Recruiting
Probiotics for breast cancer patients on chemotherapy
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement can help breast cancer patients going through chemotherapy. If you are between 20 and 80 years old, have stage I-III breast cancer, and are receiving certain chemo drugs, this study may be for you.
