PSMA PET scan for high-risk prostate cancer before surgery
This trial tests if a special PET scan using PSMA-1007 can find prostate cancer spread in men who have just been diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer and plan to have surgery. The scan may help doctors better understand the cancer before removing the prostate and lymph nodes.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06122896RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Screening for pancreatic cancer in high-risk people
This trial uses MRI and endoscopic ultrasound to look for early signs of pancreatic cancer in people who have a high risk due to their genes or family history. Finding it early may lead to better treatment options.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06123117Recruiting
Nerve block vs local painkiller for gallbladder surgery recovery
This study compares two ways of giving pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery. It tests if a nerve block (STALL) works better than injecting numbing medicine directly into the surgery site. The goal is to find which method reduces pain and the need for painkillers.
Espoo, UusimaaAges 18 years+ - NCT06123286RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tart cherry and omega-3s for joint pain from hormone therapy
This study tests whether taking tart cherry and omega-3 supplements can help reduce joint pain and stiffness caused by aromatase inhibitors (a common breast cancer treatment). If you have bothersome joint pain while on this hormone therapy, you may be able to join.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06123156RecruitingPhase 3
Early erectile rehabilitation after rectal cancer treatment
This trial tests if sildenafil (Viagra) given soon after surgery and radiation for rectal cancer can help preserve erectile function. It is for men with normal erectile function before treatment who have a regular partner.
AmiensAges 18–70 - NCT06123754RecruitingPhase 3
Envafolimab plus chemo for stage III NSCLC before surgery
This trial tests a new immunotherapy (Envafolimab) combined with standard chemotherapy before and after surgery for stage III non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if adding Envafolimab helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06123338RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo and trastuzumab for HER2+ stomach cancer
This trial tests adding pembrolizumab to standard trastuzumab and chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive stomach or esophageal cancer that can be fully removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes before and after surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06123676Recruiting
New PET scan after liver Y-90 treatment
This study tests a new way to scan the liver after Y-90 microsphere treatment. You will have an extra PET/CT scan right after your regular scan to see if it gives better images. The goal is to improve how doctors track the treatment's effect on your liver tumors.
ManchesterAges 18–80 - NCT06123884RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
BAT1308 plus chemotherapy for PD-L1-positive cervical cancer
This clinical trial tests a new combination therapy (BAT1308 plus chemotherapy, with or without Avastin) for women with advanced cervical cancer that is PD-L1-positive and has not been previously treated with systemic therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.

Lung cancer screening awareness for Hispanic head and neck cancer survivors
This study aims to increase awareness and use of lung cancer screening among Hispanic/Latinx individuals who have survived head and neck cancer. You may be able to join if you are a long-term survivor, have a significant smoking history, and haven't had a lung scan recently.
