Buenos AiresAges 1 day–1 year - NCT05558644Recruiting
Study immune and tumor features in thymus tumors
This study looks at what immune cells and tumor biology are like in localized thymic epithelial tumors. It may help doctors better understand the disease using samples taken during planned thymus surgery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05181826Recruiting
Blood collection study for cancer and benign diseases
This study collects blood samples from people with different health conditions (cancer, diabetes, liver disease, etc.) and from healthy volunteers. The goal is to find markers in the blood that could help detect or monitor diseases.

Blood test study for people at risk for or with liver cancer
This trial tests a new blood test to help detect liver cancer (HCC) or confirm it’s not present in people with cirrhosis who are being monitored. It may help improve how doctors screen for liver cancer and decide who needs further imaging or treatment.
Escondido, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07452224RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, ILKN421H, combined with pembrolizumab (a type of immunotherapy) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has not responded to standard treatments or has not been treated before. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07696637Recruiting
Mobile app for breast cancer surgery recovery
This study tests a mobile app to help people with breast cancer or a BRCA mutation who are having breast surgery with reconstruction. The app gives you information and support before and after surgery.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT05985330Recruiting
Study of FeNO as a marker for immunotherapy response in lung cancer
This trial is testing whether a simple breath test (FeNO) can predict how well immunotherapy works in people with advanced lung cancer who haven't had treatment before. It's for patients whose tumors have high PD-L1 levels and who will receive immunotherapy alone.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05856773RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs shorter radiation to lymph nodes for breast cancer
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to the breast/chest wall and nearby lymph nodes after breast surgery: a standard schedule versus a shorter “hypofractionated” schedule. It uses proton therapy and may help reduce treatment time while still controlling the cancer.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 19 years+ - NCT05442216RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax for secondary AML
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (tagraxofusp, azacitidine, and venetoclax) for people newly diagnosed with a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has developed after treatment with certain prior drugs (hypomethylating agents). The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06558604RecruitingPhase 2
Study of glofitamab with venetoclax for high-risk mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (glofitamab plus venetoclax, with or without zanubrutinib) for people with mantle cell lymphoma that is either newly diagnosed with high risk features, or has come back or not responded to earlier treatments. The goal is to see if these targeted therapies can improve outcomes.
BrugesAges 18–79 - NCT07694986RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine therapy for breast cancer that has spread to the brain and spinal cord
This trial tests a new type of vaccine (dendritic cells) injected directly into the spinal fluid, combined with either trastuzumab (if your breast cancer is HER2-positive) or nivolumab (if your breast cancer is HER2-negative). The goal is to see if this combination can better control breast cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07695012RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This trial tests a personalized cell therapy (CAR-T) for people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back after treatment or is hard to treat. The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified to find and kill leukemia cells.
RawalpindiAges 5–50 - NCT07694479Recruiting
Reducing sitting time in cancer survivors

This study tests a combination of two antibody drugs (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) plus a targeted pill (olaparib) given before surgery to treat elderly women with HER2-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors or eliminate them entirely before surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 60 years+ - NCT07696832Recruiting
Ivonescimab as first treatment for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies ivonescimab alone as a first treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that tests positive for PD-L1 and doesn't have certain gene changes. The goal is to see if it works and is safe in everyday medical practice.
