Better communication about cancer clinical trials
This study looks at how doctors and patients talk about clinical trials, with the goal of improving conversations for everyone involved. If you join, you'll fill out questionnaires about your experiences.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06985485RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for older or frail B-ALL patients
This trial tests a full course of immunotherapy (drugs that help your immune system fight cancer) instead of intensive chemotherapy for people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who are older or cannot tolerate strong chemo. It aims to offer an effective, less toxic option.

Reduced radiation with chemo for HPV-related throat cancer
This trial tests if giving less radiation along with chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with HPV-positive throat cancer. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06986083RecruitingPhase 3
Testing changes in prostate biopsy and ablation care
This study looks at two ways to improve prostate procedures: 1) whether adding local anesthesia during a biopsy (while you’re already sedated) makes a difference, and 2) whether a standard care plan before and after focal gland ablation helps recovery compared to usual care.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06990178Enrolling by invitation
Adaptive Neoadjuvant Therapy for Esophageal Cancer
This trial is testing a new treatment approach for esophageal cancer that includes chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06988774Recruiting
Checking fallopian tube openness during fibroid surgery
This study checks if blue dye can safely travel through your fallopian tubes during a fibroid-removal surgery. It helps doctors understand if the fallopian tubes are open (not blocked) while you are already having a procedure to remove fibroids.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06989086Recruiting
FearLess support for brain tumor patients and caregivers
This study tests a program to help people with brain tumors and their caregivers manage fear of recurrence. You would attend virtual sessions to learn coping skills.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06985784Recruiting
Virtual reality for head and neck cancer patients and caregivers
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help reduce depression, anxiety, and pain in people with head and neck cancer and their caregivers. You and your caregiver may be able to use VR headsets together as part of your treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06987734RecruitingPhase 2
Sugemalimab plus chemo before and after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if adding the immunotherapy drug sugemalimab to standard chemotherapy before and after surgery can help people with stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this combination reduces the chance of cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06988579Recruiting
AI-assisted lung cancer screening study
This trial tests whether using AI to help radiologists read lung CT scans can find cancer earlier and lower healthcare costs. You may qualify if you are at risk for lung cancer and have not been screened recently.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–74 - NCT06984146RecruitingPhase 2
Nivo40-AVD for advanced Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of nivolumab and chemotherapy (AVD) for people newly diagnosed with advanced classic Hodgkin lymphoma. The goal is to see if adding nivolumab improves treatment outcomes.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06986174RecruitingPhase 2
Pacritinib for relapsed or refractory Waldenström macroglobulinemia
This trial tests a pill called pacritinib for people with Waldenström macroglobulinemia that has come back or stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if pacritinib can help control the disease by blocking certain proteins that cancer cells need to grow.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06983899Recruiting
Exercise to boost immunity during lung cancer immunotherapy
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can help improve immune activity and treatment outcomes for people with non-small cell lung cancer who are already on immunotherapy. It is designed for people who are not currently very active.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05440227RecruitingPhase 2
PG2 shots to reduce moderate to severe breast cancer fatigue
This Phase 2 trial tests whether PG2 injections can safely reduce moderate to severe fatigue in people receiving chemotherapy for locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic breast cancer. If you qualify, you may be asked to complete questionnaires and follow study plans for about 8 weeks.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05870423RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PARP inhibitors with peptide radiation for NET
This early-phase study tests whether adding a medicine called a PARP inhibitor to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) can better control advanced or metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NET). It may help by targeting tumor DNA repair while PRRT delivers targeted radiation.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06746623Recruiting
Non-endoscopic screening for Barrett's in veterans without reflux
This trial tests a new, non-endoscopic screening method for Barrett's esophagus (a condition that can lead to cancer) in veterans who do not have chronic acid reflux. It aims to find early signs of the condition using a simple swallowable device, potentially avoiding the need for a traditional endoscopy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40–85 - NCT05034146Recruiting
Ga-FAPI PET/CT scan for people with cancer
This study tests how useful a special PET/CT scan (called 68Ga-FAPI) is for people who may have or have been diagnosed with cancer. The scan may help doctors see cancer activity more clearly.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–88 - NCT05577689Recruiting
New treatment target study for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial studies a new therapy target for people with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. You may be a candidate if you can provide a cancer tissue sample and are able to consent to the study.
