Two-step ATG to prevent GVHD after stem cell transplant
This trial tests a two-step use of ATG (a drug that calms immune cells) to help prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor. It may be an option for people with certain blood cancers or disorders who are getting a strong, marrow-clearing transplant.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–60 - NCT06315595Recruiting
Better MRI scans for blood vessels and blood flow
This study tests a new MRI technique to get clearer images of blood vessels and blood flow using a contrast dye, and also explores MRI methods that don't need contrast at all. The goal is to improve how doctors see and assess blood flow issues without added risk.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06315868Recruiting
Breast cancer organoid study for tumor analysis
This study is testing a new way to understand your breast cancer by growing tiny tumor samples (called organoids) in the lab. It will help researchers learn more about your cancer type and could lead to better treatments.
RomaAges 18–70 - NCT06315855Recruiting
Oral Health Program for Cancer Survivors
This study tests a program to help cancer survivors improve their oral health using a smartphone app. It's for survivors who are at least 6 months past treatment and have not had head, neck, or mouth cancer.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 25–75 - NCT06316427RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CD7 CAR-T therapy for T-cell cancers that returned
This trial tests a new kind of immunotherapy called CD7 CAR-T therapy for people with T-cell cancers (like leukemia or lymphoma) that have come back or not responded to treatment. The CAR-T cells are made from your own immune cells or a donor's, and they are designed to find and destroy cancer cells that carry the CD7 marker.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–70 - NCT06316895Recruiting
Thermal ablation for small, low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is studying a treatment called thermal ablation (using heat to destroy cancer cells) for people with small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It aims to see how well it works and to predict outcomes.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06316960RecruitingPhase 2
Avapritinib for children with relapsed or resistant CBF-AML and KIT mutation
This trial tests a targeted drug called avapritinib in children and teens with a specific type of leukemia (CBF-AML) that has a KIT gene change and has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if avapritinib is safe and effective for these patients.
Hefei, AnhuiAges Up to 18 years - NCT06316856RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted immune cell therapy for resistant T-cell cancers
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR T-cells) that targets CD5 found on certain T-cell cancers. It may be an option for people whose cancer has not responded to other treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–70 - NCT06317389Recruiting
Study of cancer patients taking oral anticancer drugs
This study follows patients who take oral anticancer drugs and take part in a special monitoring program at Lyon-Sud hospital. It aims to understand what affects treatment safety and outcomes.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18 years+ - NCT06317714Recruiting
Long-term follow-up and quality of life after cancer treatment
This study follows patients over time to see how anticancer treatments affect their quality of life. It's for adults who receive special cancer drugs and also get other support at the Rafael Institute.
