This trial tests a combination of two drugs—pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) and enfortumab vedotin (a targeted therapy)—for people with collecting duct carcinoma or renal medullary carcinoma, two rare types of kidney cancer that have spread. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06302595Recruiting
MRI-guided prostate biopsy for cancer diagnosis
This trial uses MRI to guide a biopsy of the prostate, aiming to better detect cancer in men with abnormal PSA levels, a lump, or a suspicious MRI finding.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30 years+ - NCT06302634Recruiting
Heart rehab program for cancer patients at risk
This trial tests a rehabilitation program designed to help people at high risk of heart problems from cancer treatment. You would do exercises and have check-ups, either at the hospital or at home.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18–70 - NCT06302751Recruiting
Mobile app to improve recovery after colorectal cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a mobile app can help people recover better after colorectal cancer surgery. If you join, you'll use the app to track your recovery and get support, which may improve your overall outcome.
Rozzano, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06303622Recruiting
Comparing two MRI-guided biopsy methods for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways to guide a prostate biopsy using MRI images, to see which better detects clinically significant prostate cancer in men with suspicious MRI findings.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06304350RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (given before surgery) can help shrink stage II/III esophageal cancer. The goal is to make surgery more likely to remove all cancer and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06304441Recruiting
Pemetrexed plus lung cancer pill for brain metastasis
This trial tests if adding an injected chemotherapy drug (pemetrexed) to a targeted oral pill (like osimertinib) works better than the pill alone for patients with lung cancer that has spread to the brain and spinal cord lining.
Huizhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06304857RecruitingPhase 3
Protecting the heart with dapagliflozin during breast cancer treatment
This trial tests if the diabetes drug dapagliflozin can protect the heart in people with breast cancer receiving a type of chemotherapy called anthracyclines. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 80, have stage I-III breast cancer, and are about to start anthracycline treatment within the next 60 days.
Wroclaw, Lower Silesian VoivodeshipAges 18–80 - NCT06305299RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called CAR-T cells that target a protein called B7H3 found on cancer cells. It is for people with a specific type of ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has not responded well to platinum chemotherapy or has come back quickly.
