Adaptive therapy for early stage lung cancer with no MRD detected
This study tests a new approach for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had their tumor completely removed. It uses regular blood tests (MRD monitoring) to watch for any cancer cells left behind, so treatment can be given only if needed.

Chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery for bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) before and after surgery can improve outcomes compared to having surgery right away. It is for people with bile duct cancer that can be removed or is borderline removable.

Gene therapy vs standard care for bladder cancer after BCG fails
This trial compares a gene therapy (nadofaragene firadenovec) against standard care for people with an early-stage bladder cancer that has not responded to BCG. The goal is to see if this treatment is more effective and possibly helps avoid bladder removal.

Epcoritamab with lenalidomide and rituximab for CNS lymphoma
This trial tests a new combination of drugs—epcoritamab, lenalidomide, and rituximab—for people with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this three-drug therapy can help control the cancer.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06926751RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing low white blood cell counts in kids with solid tumors
This trial compares two drugs (Telpegfilgrastim and Filgrastim) to help prevent dangerously low white blood cell counts after chemotherapy in children and young adults with solid tumors. It's for patients who have already had this problem in a previous chemo round.
BeijingAges 6–24 - NCT06927050Recruiting
Visual tool to help understand cancer treatment choices
This study tests a digital tool that uses pictures and simple visuals to help you understand your cancer treatment options. The goal is to make the experience better for you, your family, and your doctors.
New York, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT06930521Recruiting
Monitoring heart health during HER2 therapy for breast cancer
This study tracks how well the heart handles HER2-targeted therapy (like Herceptin) during the first year of treatment for early-stage breast cancer. It helps keep you safe by checking heart function closely.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–79 - NCT06927947Recruiting
Helping families learn about inherited cancer risk
This study tests different ways to help family members of people with inherited cancer syndromes get genetic testing. It aims to improve cancer prevention and early detection.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06923501Recruiting
Mobile app study for coping with cancer
This study tests a mobile app designed to help people with cancer cope with their diagnosis and treatment. It may be a good fit if you have had cancer in the last two years and are comfortable using a smartphone app.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06927635RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT vs standard care for prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots
This trial tests whether targeted radiation (SBRT) to a few sites of cancer spread can help men whose prostate cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy but has not spread to many places. You may benefit if you have a limited number of growing spots outside the brain or spine.
