This trial tests a stress-reducing program for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if lowering stress can help with treatment outcomes and quality of life.
BratislavaAges 18 years+ - NCT06269809Recruiting
Temporary Artery Clipping for Robotic Myomectomy
This trial tests if temporarily clipping arteries during robotic surgery for uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths) reduces blood loss and makes the surgery safer. It may help women who need fibroid removal and are candidates for robotic surgery.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06270017RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zebrafish Avatars for Colon Cancer Treatment
This trial uses tiny zebrafish to grow a piece of your tumor and test which treatments might work best for you. It is for patients with colon cancer who are scheduled for surgery to remove their tumor.
Linköping, Östergötland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06270043Recruiting
Focal therapy study for early-stage prostate cancer
This study is tracking men who choose focal therapy (a targeted treatment) for their localized prostate cancer. It aims to learn how well this treatment works and how it affects quality of life.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06270602Recruiting
Cancer information collection study
This study is using the ROC platform to collect information about people with cancer. It may help researchers learn more about cancer care.
Avellino, AvellinoAges 18 years+ - NCT06270628Recruiting
Personalized exercise training for cancer survivors
This trial tests a live, remote exercise program designed for cancer survivors who have completed their main treatment. It aims to improve side effects like fatigue, low physical function, anxiety, or nerve pain. You participate from home using video calls.
UtrechtAges 18–100 - NCT06270888RecruitingPhase 1
Shorter radiation treatment for multiple myeloma
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy for up to 5 bone lesions that have come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if this approach is safe and helps control the disease.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06270667Recruiting
Exercise training for lymphoma survivors
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve heart health in people who finished treatment for Hodgkin or aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma 2–5 years ago. The goal is to see if regular exercise helps your heart recover better after chemotherapy or chest radiation.
OsloAges 20–70 - NCT06271252RecruitingPhase 1
Study of OriCAR-017 for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy called OriCAR-017 for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It is for patients who have already tried several treatments, including ones that target BCMA, and their last treatment stopped working.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT06271421Recruiting
Nanoparticle heat therapy for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment for recurrent glioblastoma using tiny magnetic particles (nanoparticles) that are heated to kill cancer cells. The particles are injected into the tumor, and then a magnetic field device heats them up. It's for people who have already tried standard therapy and whose tumor has come back.
PoznanAges 18 years+ - NCT06271941Recruiting
Reducing polyp return after large colon polyp removal
This trial is testing a standard way to remove large polyps from the colon and checking if it helps prevent them from coming back. It's for people who have a large non-cancerous polyp that needs to be taken out during a colonoscopy.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06272240Recruiting
Tumor environment study in advanced ovarian cancer
This study looks at the environment around ovarian cancer tumors to better understand the disease. It might help researchers find new ways to treat patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
Udine, UDAges 18–80 - NCT06272214RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant radiotherapy for esophageal cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests if adding radiation therapy after surgery improves outcomes for people with esophageal squamous cell cancer who received immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery but did not achieve a complete response. It aims to see if this approach can lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06272461Recruiting
Comparing lidocaine vs. ketamine for colorectal surgery pain
This trial compares two pain-relief medicines (lidocaine vs. ketamine) given through an IV during open colorectal surgery. It aims to find which one works better to reduce pain after surgery.
NabeulAges 18–90 - NCT06272799Recruiting
T-DM1 after incomplete response to initial breast cancer therapy
This trial is for people with HER2-positive breast cancer who still had cancer after initial chemotherapy. It tests the safety and effectiveness of a drug called T-DM1 (Kadcyla) given after surgery to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
Rome, RomeAges Any age - NCT06272864Recruiting
