Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06133374Recruiting
Genetic testing accuracy: needle biopsy vs. surgery
This study compares genetic testing results from a small needle biopsy to those from the surgically removed thyroid tissue. It aims to see if the biopsy alone can accurately predict the cancer's genetics, which could help guide treatment decisions.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06133426Recruiting
Connected scales for blood cancer patients at home
This trial tests if using a connected scale to monitor your weight at home can help your doctors manage your treatment for aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or multiple myeloma. It may also apply if you need a stem cell transplant (autograft) for these conditions.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06133543Recruiting
Robotic sentinel node biopsy for testicular cancer
This trial uses a robot and a special dye (ICG) to find and remove the first lymph node that might contain cancer cells in men with testicular cancer. It aims to reduce unnecessary lymph node removal while still detecting spread.
DüsseldorfAges 18–99 - NCT06134388RecruitingPhase 3
Sulfasalazine for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug sulfasalazine to standard chemotherapy can help people with metastatic colorectal cancer live longer. It is for patients whose cancer has spread and who are healthy enough for chemotherapy.
Tanta, El-Gharbia GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT06134375RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TM plus capecitabine for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a drug called tetrathiomolybdate (TM) combined with capecitabine for people with triple-negative breast cancer who still have cancer cells after standard chemotherapy and surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT06134284RecruitingPhase 4
Ibrutinib plus rituximab for refractory MZL
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (ibrutinib and rituximab) for people with marginal zone lymphoma that has not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink the lymphoma and improve outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT06134687Recruiting
New stiffening tube for colon lesion removal
This trial tests a new flexible tube that becomes stiff to help doctors remove large or complex colon lesions during an endoscopic procedure. It may help people with certain types of flat or scarred growths that are harder to remove safely.
Houston, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT06135714RecruitingPhase 3
Targeting limited breast cancer spread with focused therapy
This trial tests whether treating just the few spots where breast cancer has spread (called oligometastases) with radiation or surgery can help control the disease. It is for people whose cancer has spread to 3 or fewer places, each small in size, and who are healthy enough for local treatments.
Tokyo, TokyoAges 18–80 - NCT06135571Recruiting
Lymph node patterns in left colon and rectal cancer
This study looks at how colon and rectal cancer on the left side spreads to nearby lymph nodes (No.253). It is for people who have had laparoscopic surgery and whose cancer is still only in the colon or rectum. The goal is to better understand these patterns to help guide future treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06135870Recruiting
Study of senescent cells in uterine fibroids
This study looks at how aging cells in the uterus may cause fibroids. Researchers will collect tissue and blood samples to understand fibroid growth better.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–55 - NCT06136364RecruitingPhase 1
CD7 CAR-T therapy for relapsed T-cell leukemia/lymphoma
This trial tests a new treatment called CD7 CAR-T, which uses your own immune cells modified to find and attack cancer cells that have a protein called CD7 on their surface. It's for people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma that has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06136351RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib with chemo for mantle cell lymphoma
