Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06994377Recruiting
Emotional distress study for newly treated metastatic breast cancer
This trial studies emotional distress in people with metastatic breast cancer who have not yet received treatment for their advanced disease. It explores how different standard first-line therapies affect emotional well-being.
AnconaAges 18 years+ - NCT06997458Enrolling by invitation
Liquid biopsy study for advanced lung or colon cancer
This study is testing a simple blood draw (liquid biopsy) to track advanced lung or colon cancer. It may help doctors understand the cancer better without needing repeated tissue biopsies.
Granada, AndalusiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06993714RecruitingPhase 2
3D-printed absorbable breast implants for reconstruction
This trial tests a new type of breast implant made from a special material that your body can safely absorb over time. It is designed for women who need breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery, aiming to restore shape without leaving a permanent implant.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–70 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT06494995RecruitingPhase 2
AK104 and low-dose radiation for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called AK104 (cadonilimab) combined with low-dose radiation for people with head and neck or nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back or spread and no longer responds to first treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05198570Recruiting
Measuring how acyclovir moves in children with cancer
This study checks how acyclovir behaves in the body when it’s given by mouth or through an IV to children receiving cancer care. It may help doctors better choose doses and monitor the medicine in kids who need prevention or treatment of certain viral infections.
