Comparing two ways to reconnect the stomach after Whipple surgery
This trial compares two common surgical techniques for reconnecting the stomach and small intestine during a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) to see if one leads to fewer complications. It may help surgeons choose the best approach for you.
LarissaAges 18–80 - NCT06982300RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET scan for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a special PET scan that can detect a receptor (SSTR2) on cancer cells to see if it can help guide treatment for people with nasopharyngeal cancer (a type of head and neck cancer). It may help doctors choose the best therapy for you.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06977698Recruiting
Detecting cancer margins during breast surgery
This study tests a new method to check for leftover cancer cells and lymph node spread during breast surgery. It may help doctors make sure all cancer is removed the first time.
NottinghamAges Any age - NCT06981156Recruiting
Study of pediatric brain and spine tumor exams
This study tests a shorter way to check the brain and nervous system in children with brain or spine tumors. It aims to see if the new exam is as good as the standard one.
Madison, WisconsinAges 1–17 - NCT06980103Recruiting
Decision aid for RAI in thyroid cancer
This trial offers a decision aid to help you choose whether to have radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment after thyroid cancer surgery. You may qualify if you have intermediate-risk thyroid cancer and haven't yet made a decision about RAI.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06979843Recruiting
Support program for teens and young adults with new cancer diagnosis
This study tests a support model called Team Young, designed to help adolescents and young adults (ages 16-30) who have just been diagnosed with cancer. The goal is to provide emotional and practical support during this challenging time.
GothenburgAges 16 years+ - NCT06978088RecruitingPhase 2
A study of LP-168 and obinutuzumab for CLL/SLL
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, LP-168 and obinutuzumab, for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) whose disease has come back or not responded to previous treatments. It may be an option if you have already tried certain therapies, including a BTK inhibitor or a BCL2 inhibitor.
