Combined therapy before surgery for lymph node-positive esophageal cancer
This trial is testing a combination of chemotherapy and radiation (called total neoadjuvant therapy) before surgery for a type of esophageal cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
Eindhoven, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06161974RecruitingPhase 2
Olutasidenib and temozolomide for IDH1-mutant high-grade glioma
This trial tests a combination of two oral medications, olutasidenib and temozolomide, for people with a specific type of aggressive brain tumor (high-grade glioma) that has an IDH1 mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the tumor after standard treatment like radiation.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–39 - NCT06162377RecruitingPhase 4
Methylnaltrexone before surgery for mouth cancer
This trial tests if taking methylnaltrexone for two weeks before surgery can help people with mouth cancer. It is a small, early study to see how the drug affects the tumor and the body.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06162650RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemo-radiation therapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy before surgery for people with mid or low rectal cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach works better than current treatments.
TainanAges 20 years+ - NCT06162559RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted therapy before surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of three targeted drugs (trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and tucatinib) without chemotherapy before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors effectively while avoiding chemotherapy side effects.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06163391RecruitingPhase 1
SOT201 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called SOT201 for people with advanced solid cancers that have stopped responding to other treatments. It helps the immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06163430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new pill for CML after other treatments
This study tests a new targeted pill called TERN-701 for people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) that has not responded well to or caused side effects from other targeted therapies. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06163924Recruiting
Heart risk reduction in prostate cancer patients on hormone therapy
This study tests whether a team of doctors, nurses, and other specialists can help reduce the risk of heart problems in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy (ADT). It focuses on providing extra support for heart health.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT06164769Recruiting
Laparoscopic tumor removal for benign pancreatic tumors
This trial tests a surgical technique to remove benign or low-risk pancreatic tumors from the head or neck of the pancreas while temporarily blocking blood flow to reduce bleeding. It may help patients avoid more extensive surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 14–70 - NCT06165302Recruiting
Exercise study for men with advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help men with metastatic prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. It looks at changes in cancer cells and overall well-being.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06165653Recruiting
Guided meditation during radiation for brain tumors
This trial tests whether guided meditation can help people with brain tumors feel better during radiation therapy. You'll be randomly assigned to either meditation sessions or standard care, and researchers will see how it affects your well-being.
