Memphis, TennesseeAges 12 years+ - NCT06999798RecruitingPhase 1
A better ultrasound marker for lymph nodes in breast cancer
This trial tests a new ultrasound marker to help surgeons find and remove cancer-positive lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery. The marker makes the node easier to see on ultrasound so it can be taken out accurately.

BNCT for High-Grade Malignant Brain Tumors
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy called boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for people with high-grade malignant brain tumors. It aims to see if BNCT is safe and effective for tumors that have not been treated or have come back after standard treatments.
HsinchuAges 18 years+ - NCT07003022RecruitingPhase 2
Two-drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (cadonilimab and an anti-angiogenic agent) for advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic feature (dMMR or MSI-H). It aims to find a new treatment option that might work better than current therapies.
Shanghai, ChinaAges 18–80 - NCT07000084RecruitingPhase 3
Testing gemcitabine with BCG for returning bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug called gemcitabine to the usual BCG therapy can help prevent bladder cancer from coming back again. If you have had BCG before and your cancer returned, this study might offer a more effective treatment option.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06999174Recruiting
Using MRI to Study Liver Cancer Treatment
This trial uses special MRI scans to learn more about liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) before and during treatment with TACE or SIRT. It may help doctors better understand how the tumor responds to therapy.
MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT06998069RecruitingPhase 3
Head and neck cancer study for older adults
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy followed by radiation for older adults with head and neck cancer. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people aged 65 and older.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 65 years+ - NCT06993402Enrolling by invitation
Düsseldorf ESD Study
This study is testing the use of ESD, a procedure to remove abnormal tissue from your digestive tract using a thin, flexible scope. It may be an option if you need this procedure in your esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon, or rectum.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07002216RecruitingPhase 2
BrECADD therapy for stage 2B to stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests a combination drug treatment called BrECADD for people with Hodgkin lymphoma that has certain risk factors or is in a more advanced stage (stage 2B, 3, or 4). It aims to see if this treatment works well and is safe.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–60 - NCT06999148Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing sonodynamic therapy with radiation and chemo for brainstem glioma
This trial tests whether adding sonodynamic therapy (a treatment that uses sound waves to activate a drug) before standard radiation and chemotherapy can help people with a type of brainstem glioma called DIPG. The goal is to see if this combination improves survival.
Zhengzhou, UndefinedAges Up to 75 years - NCT07001085Recruiting
Blood test to monitor liver cancer after surgery
This study uses a simple blood test to monitor tiny pieces of tumor DNA (ctDNA) in people with colorectal cancer that spread to the liver or with liver cancer (HCC), before and after liver surgery or transplant. It aims to help doctors detect cancer return earlier and guide treatment.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–75 - NCT06997081RecruitingPhase 2
ERd combination for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (elranatamab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The goal is to see if this treatment can lead to a very deep response (no detectable cancer cells) in the bone marrow.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06998758RecruitingPhase 3
Megestrol Acetate for weight loss during chemo in advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests if taking megestrol acetate (a medicine used to stimulate appetite and help gain weight) can reduce weight loss caused by chemotherapy in people with locally advanced colorectal cancer. It may help you maintain strength and energy during treatment.

Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06995118Recruiting
New technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction
