Gene therapy and valacyclovir for recurrent brain tumors in young people

Comparing shorter vs. longer radiation after chemo-immunotherapy for esophageal cancer
This trial tests if a shorter course of radiation is as effective as the standard longer course after initial chemotherapy plus immunotherapy in people with advanced esophageal cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06914245Recruiting
Personalized help for bowel symptoms after rectal cancer treatment
This trial studies how to improve bowel symptoms in people treated for rectal cancer. It tests personalized care plans and looks at different factors that may contribute to bowel problems after surgery or a watch-and-wait approach.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06912763RecruitingPhase 2
Reversing radiation side effects in head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combined treatment (a statin and a drug that helps blood flow) to reverse long-term swelling and tissue hardening caused by head and neck radiation. It may help people who have had these side effects for more than 6 months.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT06914297RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TQB2450 plus progestin for uterine cancer patients wanting to keep fertility
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (TQB2450) with a hormone treatment (progestin) for patients with a specific type of early-stage uterine cancer who wish to preserve their ability to have children. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT06911970Recruiting
Exercise and immune response in cancer treatment
This trial tests whether aerobic exercise can help your immune system fight cancer better during chemotherapy or immunotherapy. It is for people with breast or colon cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 40–70 - NCT06922318RecruitingPhase 2
Combined suppression of MYC for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (ZEN-3694 and enzalutamide) for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormonal treatments. It aims to see if this combination can help slow or stop the cancer from growing.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06914440RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial is testing a new treatment approach for patients with a certain type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). It combines radiation therapy with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug before the patient's main surgery, to see if it can shrink or eliminate the tumor more effectively.
Xi'an, Shannxi ProvinceAges 18–75 - NCT06917963Recruiting
Preventing high stoma output with omeprazole
This trial tests if a stronger dose of omeprazole can help prevent high fluid output from a new ileostomy (a surgically created opening in the belly that passes waste). If you are scheduled for surgery to create an ileostomy, you may be able to join.
Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06917794Enrolling by invitation
Genetic risk study for colon cancer patients
This study looks at how your genetic background and ancestry affect your risk for colon cancer. If you have been diagnosed with colon cancer and have a tumor sample available, you may be able to help researchers develop better risk scores.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18 years+ - NCT06920680Recruiting
A registry for colonoscopy reports and videos
This study is a registry that collects information and videos from colonoscopy procedures. It helps doctors learn more about these tests and improve care for patients like you.
Stuttgart, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06915038Recruiting
Measuring tumor DNA in blood for HPV-positive throat cancer
This study looks at a blood test that finds DNA from HPV-related throat tumors. It may help doctors decide on surgery and check if the cancer is completely removed.
Carmel, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06918431RecruitingPhase 2
Erwinia asparaginase with chemo for new ALL or LBL
This trial tests adding an asparaginase drug to standard chemotherapy for adults with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL). The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–54 - NCT06919042Recruiting
Shockwave therapy for breast reconstruction scar tissue
This trial tests if a special shockwave treatment can soften firm scar tissue that sometimes forms after breast reconstruction surgery. If you've had plastic surgery and have firm, tight areas under your skin, this study might be able to help.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06914661Enrolling by invitation
DS8201 for metastatic breast cancer: a real-world study

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06918951Recruiting
Stereotactic radiation vs standard radiation for limited cancer spread
This trial compares two types of radiation for people whose cancer has spread to a few new spots while on or after treatment. It tests whether a precise, high-dose radiation approach (stereotactic) works better than the usual palliative radiation for controlling these growing spots.
Surrey, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06916637Recruiting
PET Imaging Study for HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
This study tests a new imaging method (18F-HER2 Affibody PET) to find HER2 protein in breast cancer cells. It may help doctors see which patients might benefit from HER2-targeted treatments.

Combination therapy before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation, two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab), a targeted therapy (regorafenib), and chemotherapy (CAPOX) given before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for people whose tumors have normal mismatch repair proteins (pMMR/MSS).
