Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06397222RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments: an immunotherapy drug (Sintilimab), a targeted therapy (Bevacizumab), and a type of internal radiation (SIRT) for people with intermediate or advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06397235RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for large liver cancer tumors
This trial tests whether a combination of two treatments—chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) plus chemotherapy given through the liver artery (RALOX-HAIC)—works better than chemoembolization alone for people with large liver cancer tumors (over 7 cm). The goal is to see if the combination shrinks tumors more effectively.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06397287Recruiting
Urology patient feedback study
This study gathers information from urology patients using digital tools like email or apps. Your feedback could help improve care for others with urology conditions.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06397560Recruiting
Proton radiation for returning brain tumors
This trial tests a new type of proton radiation therapy given at a lower dose rate to treat brain tumors that have come back after previous radiation. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06397755Recruiting
Study of patients with prostate biopsy or prostate removal surgery
This study looks at patients who have had a prostate biopsy or surgery to remove the prostate (radical prostatectomy). It aims to learn more about these procedures and how patients are doing.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06397703RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone Blockers and Radiation for Prostate Cancer
This trial tests whether adding hormone therapy (ADT) to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) works better than SBRT alone for men with a specific type of prostate cancer called 'unfavorable intermediate risk.' The goal is to see if the combination helps control the cancer better.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06398028RecruitingPhase 4
ICG dye before minimally invasive liver surgery
This study tests whether giving a special dye (ICG) before minimally invasive liver surgery helps surgeons see tumors more clearly compared to using ultrasound alone. It’s for people who are already scheduled for keyhole liver surgery.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06398067Recruiting
Stress management for breast and gynecologic cancer patients
This trial tests a stress management program for women in Vietnam recently diagnosed with breast or gynecologic cancer. It aims to help you cope with treatment and recovery.
Can ThoAges 18 years+ - NCT06398314Recruiting
Palliative radiation for pelvic tumor symptoms
This trial tests a type of radiation to help relieve symptoms like pain, bleeding, or other discomfort from tumors in the pelvic area. It is for people whose cancer has spread or cannot be cured, and who are not able to have stronger treatments.
ÅlesundAges 18 years+ - NCT06398795Recruiting
Dual-port thyroid surgery through the armpit
This trial tests a new type of minimally invasive thyroid surgery that uses two small openings under your collarbone to remove thyroid growths. It may be a good option if you want less visible scarring from your thyroid operation.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–90 - NCT06398639Recruiting
Using genetic risk and MRI to find dangerous prostate cancer
This study uses a genetic risk score and a special MRI scan to find prostate cancers that are more likely to be dangerous. It aims to see if combining these tests can better identify which men need a biopsy.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 40–69 - NCT06398613Recruiting
Using PSMA PET scan before prostate cancer surgery
