Finding lymph nodes with a tiny dose of magnetic tracer in breast cancer
This trial is testing whether a very small amount of a magnetic tracer called Magtrace can help find lymph nodes that need to be checked for cancer spread during breast cancer surgery.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06169163Recruiting
Breath test for esophageal squamous cell cancer
This study looks at chemicals in your breath to see if they can help detect a type of esophageal cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) early. You may join if you have untreated squamous cell esophageal cancer, or if you are having a routine endoscopy for stomach issues and your results are normal or show a benign condition.
London, Greater LondonAges 18–90 - NCT06169644Recruiting
Emotional effects of chemo for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
This study looks at the emotional and psychological well-being of women after finishing chemotherapy for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). It asks women about their feelings and experiences to better understand and support others going through similar treatment.
Sheffield, South YorkshireAges 16–55 - NCT06170021Recruiting
Radiation ear problems in throat cancer patients
This study looks at how often radiation therapy for throat cancer causes middle ear infections or fluid buildup. It aims to understand and track these ear problems in patients getting a precise type of radiation called IMRT.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06170177Recruiting
Life after bladder removal surgery study
This study looks at how people feel and their health after having their bladder removed. It aims to understand quality of life after this surgery.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06170489RecruitingPhase 3
Study of JS004 plus toripalimab for Hodgkin lymphoma
This study tests a new combination of two drugs (JS004 plus toripalimab) versus standard chemotherapy for people with Hodgkin lymphoma that no longer responds to PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the new combination works better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06170710RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy after chemoradiation for high-risk head and neck cancer
This trial tests if adding immunotherapy after standard chemoradiation helps prevent cancer from returning in people with high-risk head and neck cancer. It is for those who have completed surgery and have certain high-risk features.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06171269Recruiting
MRI-guided radiation dose reduction for prostate cancer
This trial tests whether using MRI scans to guide radiation can allow lower doses to the healthy parts of the prostate, potentially reducing side effects. It is for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer that can be seen on MRI and has not spread.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06170788RecruitingPhase 3
New Two-Drug Immunotherapy Combo vs. Standard Immunotherapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study compares a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab) versus pembrolizumab alone for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a high PD-L1 level (≥50%) and has not been treated yet. The goal is to see if the combination works better than the standard single immunotherapy.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06171139Recruiting
Genetic counseling tool for Black men with prostate cancer
