SHINE: Using a special dye to find lymph nodes after breast cancer chemo
This study tests whether a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help find sentinel lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery after chemotherapy. It may offer a safer and more effective way to check if cancer has spread.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT06085404Recruiting
Growing lab-mini-tumors for ovarian cancer treatment choices
This trial uses a small piece of your cancer tissue (taken during surgery) to grow 'mini-tumors' in the lab. These help doctors find which treatments might work best for you. It is for people with advanced serous ovarian cancer.
RomaAges 18–80 - NCT06085729RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ADI-PEG20 with chemo for aggressive prostate cancer
This study tests a combination of three drugs—ADI-PEG20, carboplatin, and cabazitaxel—in men with aggressive variant prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or slow the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06085742RecruitingPhase 2
CMC chemotherapy for early stage breast cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (CMC) for people with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who have a high risk of recurrence. It aims to understand if this oral regimen is effective and tolerable.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06085781Recruiting
MRI and tumor study for head and neck cancer patients
This trial uses special MRI scans to look at your head, neck, and tumor environment before treatment. It aims to find better ways to understand your cancer and guide care.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06085755RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination drug therapy for HER2-low stomach cancer
This trial tests two targeted drugs, trastuzumab deruxtecan and afatinib, together for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has low levels of the HER2 protein. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks tumors or slows cancer growth.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06085833Recruiting
Using ARTIDIS to measure early breast lesions
This trial tests a new device called ARTIDIS that measures the stiffness of breast tissue to help identify early breast lesions. It may provide a noninvasive way to assess breast health.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06087068RecruitingPhase 2
Thyroid hormone therapy after lobectomy for low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is testing whether thyroid hormone replacement after surgery is safe for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It may help maintain normal hormone levels after part of the thyroid is removed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1.5 years–70 years - NCT06086457RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo with or without radiation for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to a standard treatment (immunotherapy plus chemotherapy) can help people with advanced esophageal cancer that has spread to up to two organs. The goal is to see if the combination improves outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06087614RecruitingPhase 2
Higher-dose radiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a higher dose of radiation therapy that is adjusted based on oxygen levels in the tumor. It may help people with certain head and neck cancers that have not been treated before.
DelhiAges 18–70 - NCT06087120Recruiting
Can a blood test predict breast cancer treatment response?
This study looks at whether a blood test (ctDNA) can help predict how well breast cancer responds to chemotherapy before surgery. It focuses on people with HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer that has not spread far.
JakartaAges 18 years+ - NCT06087393Recruiting
