Columbia, South CarolinaAges 9–55 - NCT06116903Recruiting
Detecting tumor signals in blood for glioblastoma
This study looks for genetic markers from tumor cells in your blood to see if they can help track glioblastoma progression. If you have glioblastoma and standard treatment has stopped working, this test might give your doctor more information about your cancer.
LimogesAges 18 years+ - NCT06117059Recruiting
Precision study: 3 session prostate radiation with special guidance
This trial tests a new way to give prostate radiation using just 3 sessions with a special guidance system (RayPilot HypoCath) to target the tumor more accurately and safely.
EdinburghAges Any age - NCT06117384Recruiting
Personalized ovarian cancer treatment study
This study aims to use your tumor and blood samples to find the best treatment for your ovarian cancer. It may help tailor your care based on your unique cancer biology.
HelsinkiAges Any age - NCT06117930Recruiting
Brain tumor and gut bacteria study
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might be linked to brain tumors. Researchers want to collect samples (like stool and tissue) during brain surgery to better understand this connection.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06118710RecruitingPhase 4
Can we skip dexamethasone before paclitaxel?
This study tests whether it is safe to skip the steroid (dexamethasone) that is normally given before paclitaxel chemotherapy. If you are about to start paclitaxel for a solid tumor, this trial may help reduce side effects from premedication.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06118086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of REM-422 for advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma
This trial tests an experimental drug called REM-422 for people with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) that has spread, come back, or cannot be removed by surgery. The study has two parts: an early part for people with advanced ACC and a later part for those with a specific genetic change (MYB biomarker) in their tumor. The goal is to see if REM-422 can slow or stop cancer growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06118229Recruiting
Wearable devices for recovery after lung cancer surgery
This study tests if wearing a smart watch or fitness tracker can help doctors monitor your recovery after lung cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for lung cancer, participating may give your care team more information to track your health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06118307Recruiting
Ovarian cancer and family care study
This study aims to improve care for ovarian cancer by including people at different stages: those being checked for it, those with known risk factors, and those who are generally healthy. It could help researchers better understand and support patients and their families.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06118762RecruitingPhase 4
Study of fruquintinib plus raltitrexed for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests two drugs, fruquintinib and raltitrexed, for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to or is no longer tolerable after standard treatments like fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06118788RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BG1805 for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new treatment, BG1805, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to standard therapy. It targets a specific marker on leukemia cells called CLL-1.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06118723Recruiting
Supramaximal vs maximal surgery for brain tumors
This trial compares removing as much tumor as safely possible (supramaximal resection) with standard maximal resection in people with high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain tumor). The goal is to see if more extensive removal improves survival and quality of life.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06119685RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IDP-023 alone or with other antibodies for blood cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug, IDP-023, given alone or with antibody therapies for people with advanced blood cancers like multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that have not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
