Intensive chemo before stem cell transplant for myeloid cancers with spread outside marrow
This trial tests a stronger chemotherapy combination before a donor stem cell transplant for people with certain blood cancers (like AML, MDS, or CMML) that have spread to other parts of the body, such as the skin, testicles, or central nervous system. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients whose disease is in remission.

This study compares different blood tests to find the best way to detect tiny bits of cancer DNA after surgery for stage III colorectal cancer. It aims to help doctors decide if additional chemotherapy is needed to prevent the cancer from coming back.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06111313RecruitingPhase 2
Prostate cancer trial testing targeted radiation with hormone therapy
This trial tests a new radiation approach for prostate cancer that has not spread. It combines different types of radiation with or without hormone therapy to see if this approach works better with fewer side effects.
Miami, FloridaAges 35–85 - NCT06111625RecruitingPhase 2
Short blinatumomab before stem cell transplant for low B-ALL
This trial tests a short course of blinatumomab (a targeted immunotherapy) given before a stem cell transplant in people with low amounts of B-ALL leukemia. The goal is to prepare the body for transplant and improve outcomes.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 16–65 - NCT06111417Recruiting
Rapid BRCA1/2 test for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients
This study tests a new ultra-rapid genetic test for BRCA1/2 mutations in people recently diagnosed with breast cancer. It aims to see if the faster result helps doctors and patients make treatment decisions sooner.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06111807Recruiting
Validating blood tests for stage III lung cancer
This trial is testing whether new blood tests can reliably detect and monitor stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It hopes to improve how doctors track your cancer and decide on treatment.
Nice, NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT06112704RecruitingPhase 2
HS-20093 for advanced esophageal and other solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug called HS-20093 for people with advanced esophageal cancer or other solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatment. The drug targets a protein on cancer cells called B7-H3, and the study aims to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06112509Recruiting
Balance changes after gamma-knife for ear tumor
This study looks at how your balance might change after gamma-knife radiosurgery for a vestibular schwannoma. You will have follow-up balance tests to see if the treatment affects your balance over time.
BesançonAges 18–90 - NCT06112639Recruiting
Dance-based rehab for chronic brain conditions
This trial tests a dance exercise program for people with multiple sclerosis or early memory loss. It aims to see if dancing can help physical and mental function safely at home.
BresciaAges 18–85 - NCT06112964Recruiting
Brain and behavior changes in cancer-related weight loss
This study looks at changes in thinking, behavior, and brain structure that can happen when people with cancer lose weight and appetite (called cachexia). Researchers will use questionnaires and brain scans to understand these changes, which may help improve care for people with cancer.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT06112990RecruitingPhase 3
Creatine and exercise to keep muscles strong in prostate cancer
This trial tests if taking creatine plus doing resistance exercises at home can help men with prostate cancer maintain muscle mass and slow cancer growth. You would take creatine or a placebo for 52 weeks and do simple strength exercises twice a week.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06113809RecruitingPhase 1
Palbociclib and pembrolizumab for advanced sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, palbociclib and pembrolizumab, in people with certain types of advanced sarcoma (cancer of the soft tissues) that have continued to grow despite prior treatment. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow down the cancer.
Iowa City, IowaAges 12 years+ - NCT06113705Recruiting
Better MRI and blood tests for glioblastoma treatment response
This study is testing whether special MRI scans and blood tests can help tell the difference between true tumor growth (progression) and a treatment-related reaction called 'pseudoprogression' in people with glioblastoma. The goal is to make treatment decisions more accurate.
RozzanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06114004RecruitingPhase 2
Selinexor plus gemcitabine for advanced soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, selinexor and gemcitabine, for people with a type of soft-tissue sarcoma (leiomyosarcoma or malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor) that has spread or cannot be surgically removed and has gotten worse despite at least one prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary IslandsAges 18–80 - NCT06114108Recruiting
Adding local treatment to drug therapy for stage IV lung cancer
This trial compares continuing drug therapy alone versus adding local treatments (surgery or radiation) for people with stage IV lung cancer that has responded to initial treatment but still has a few remaining spots (oligometastatic). The goal is to see if targeting those spots with local therapy helps control the cancer longer.
