Early cancer detection test for colorectal cancer
This trial uses two blood tests (Signatera and Haystack) to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after surgery, to find out if the cancer comes back as early as possible. People with stage II, III, or IV colorectal cancer who have had or will have surgery to remove their tumor may join.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07035691Recruiting
New markers to better diagnose colorectal cancer referrals
This study looks for new markers in the blood or stool to help diagnose colorectal cancer earlier. It is for people who have been referred urgently because their doctor suspects lower bowel cancer.

Safety Study of KUP-101A in Advanced Solid Tumors
This is an early-stage study testing a new drug called KUP-101A in patients with advanced solid cancers (like lung, colon, or breast cancer) that haven't responded to standard treatments. The drug works by activating the immune system to fight cancer.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT02300766Recruiting
Study of cerebellar mutism in children with brain tumors
This study looks at how children with certain brain tumors develop “cerebellar mutism” after surgery or an open biopsy. The goal is to better understand the syndrome and what might help support recovery.
ViennaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05875168RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of DS-3939a for Advanced Solid Tumors
This trial is testing a new drug called DS-3939a for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The study has two parts to find the right dose and see how well it works.
Sarasota, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05552846Recruiting
Radiation to the chest after chemo-immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer
This trial looks at whether giving additional targeted radiation to the chest can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after they finish standard chemo-immunotherapy. It may help control the cancer in the lung area and prevent it from coming back there.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07490860Recruiting
Supporting Black adults to decide about lung cancer screening
This study tests a program called RESTORE that helps Black adults who smoke make informed decisions about lung cancer screening. The program uses restorative justice principles to support you in talking with your doctor.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 50–77 - NCT06787612RecruitingPhase 2
New combination for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This study tests a new combination treatment (ubamatamab plus another drug) for people with ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemotherapy. It could be an option if your cancer has kept growing despite prior treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07490925Recruiting
Breathing Machine Strategy to Protect the Heart in ARDS
This trial tests a special breathing machine strategy that uses pressure measurements from a small tube in your esophagus (food pipe) to protect your heart's right side while treating ARDS caused by pneumonia. It may help if you have severe lung failure and need a ventilator.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04307576RecruitingPhase 3
Study for newly diagnosed ALL children and young adults
