Focused radiation boost for prostate cancer
This trial tests a newer, more precise radiation treatment that gives a higher dose to the main tumor while keeping radiation to the rest of the prostate the same. It is for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer who haven't had prior prostate radiation or removal.

Testing anlotinib plus trastuzumab deruxtecan for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs — anlotinib (which cuts off a tumor's blood supply) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (which attacks HER2-low cancer cells) — for advanced breast cancer that has stopped responding to previous treatments.

Radiation, immunotherapy, and surgery for chest wall lung cancer
This trial tests combining radiation, immunotherapy (durvalumab), and surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the chest wall or top of the lung. It aims to see if this approach can help remove the cancer completely.
TorontoAges 18–99 - NCT06331988Recruiting
Study of colon cancer, bacteria, and the immune system
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut, your immune system, and colon cancer interact. It aims to understand these connections to improve future treatments.
MilanAges 18–75 - NCT06332274RecruitingPhase 3
Tislelizumab for cancer patients with minimal residual disease
This trial is for people who have completed standard cancer treatments (like surgery, chemo or radiation) and have no visible cancer on scans, but may still have very small amounts of cancer DNA in their blood. The study tests whether the drug tislelizumab can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT06332430RecruitingPhase 1
Injecting CAN2109 into tumors for solid cancers
This trial tests CAN2109, a drug injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06332755RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LB-LR1109 alone and with atezolizumab for cancer
This trial tests a new drug called LB-LR1109, alone or with atezolizumab, for adults with certain advanced solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people whose cancer has worsened after standard treatments or who cannot have those treatments.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06332573Recruiting
Onco-sexology support for newly diagnosed cancer patients
This trial tests whether talking with a specialist about sexual well-being can improve your quality of life after a new cancer diagnosis. It's for anyone aged 18 or older, including those receiving palliative care.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06333262RecruitingPhase 2
Fixed-duration pirtobrutinib and obinutuzumab for untreated CLL
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, pirtobrutinib (a pill) and obinutuzumab (an infusion), given for a set period of time in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have not had any previous treatment for their disease. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer effectively.
Scarborough, MaineAges 18 years+ - NCT06333314RecruitingPhase 2
Dostarlimab for advanced dMMR/MSI cancers (not colorectal or endometrial)
This trial tests a drug called dostarlimab for people with certain advanced cancers that have a specific genetic feature (dMMR/MSI-H). The goal is to see if it helps shrink or control the cancer in people who haven't had other treatments yet.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06333561Recruiting
Combination therapy for infiltrative liver cancer
This trial tests a three-drug combination for a specific type of liver cancer called infiltrative hepatocellular carcinoma. It combines a liver-directed chemotherapy infusion (HAIC) with two oral and intravenous drugs (lenvatinib and a PD-1 inhibitor) to see if it works better than lenvatinib alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06333392Recruiting
Underwater colonoscopy for better cancer screening
This trial tests if a new type of colonoscopy called total underwater colonoscopy (TUC) is better at finding polyps and cancer during routine screening. If you had a positive FIT stool test and are scheduled for a follow-up colonoscopy, you may be able to join.
DrammenAges 55–60 - NCT06333899RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Lorlatinib for newly diagnosed brain tumors with ROS or ALK fusion
This trial tests if lorlatinib, a targeted pill, can shrink or slow the growth of high-grade brain tumors that have a specific ROS or ALK genetic change. It is for children and young adults who have not yet had treatment for their tumor.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1–21 - NCT06334471Recruiting
Whole genome sequencing for breast cancer
This trial uses whole genome sequencing, a test that reads the complete set of your DNA, to study breast cancer tissue. This may help doctors learn more about the disease and find better treatments.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06335251Recruiting
Radiation therapy for limb cancers
This study looks at how radiation therapy works for cancers in the arms or legs, including primary tumors and cancers that have spread there. It aims to understand the best ways to use radiation for treatment or pain relief.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06334809Recruiting
Genetic test for men with prostate cancer and DNA repair changes
This trial looks for specific DNA repair changes in men with prostate cancer. It tests if these genetic features can help guide treatment decisions. You may join if you have high-risk localized, newly metastatic, or advanced prostate cancer and have tissue available for testing.
Candiolo, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT06334965Recruiting
Studying liver cancer response to targeted radiation therapy
This trial is for people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) who are about to receive a type of internal radiation therapy called TARE (also known as radioembolization). Researchers want to learn more about how the cancer responds to this treatment using scans and biopsies. You might be a good fit if you have not had any prior treatment for your liver cancer.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT06335069RecruitingPhase 2

Short-course radiation after prostate surgery
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy (hypofractionated radiotherapy) for men who have already had their prostate removed and still have signs of cancer (like rising PSA). The goal is to see if this can help prevent the cancer from coming back.

Valencia, ValenciaAges 35–75 - NCT06336187Recruiting
Active monitoring for small kidney tumors
This study tests whether closely monitoring small kidney tumors (less than 4 cm) with regular imaging is a safe and effective option for people who cannot or choose not to have immediate treatment. It involves a biopsy at the start to confirm the tumor type.
