Heart, lung, and brain function in Hodgkin lymphoma survivors
This study looks at how heart, lung, and brain blood flow are affected in adults who survived Hodgkin lymphoma as children. It compares survivors who had certain treatments to healthy volunteers.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06422403RecruitingPhase 2
Study on giving immunotherapy less often for advanced cancer
This trial tests whether giving certain immunotherapy drugs less often than usual is safe and still works well for people with advanced stomach, liver, or lung cancer. It might mean fewer hospital visits while still controlling the cancer.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06422455Recruiting
Genetic testing for underserved cancer patients
This study offers free genetic testing to cancer patients and their healthcare providers. It aims to help people who may not have easy access to genetic testing understand their cancer risk.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06422533Recruiting
Comparing Two Antibiotics for Blood Infection in Cancer Patients
This trial compares two antibiotics (ceftolozane/tazobactam vs. piperacillin/tazobactam) for treating a bloodstream infection in people with blood cancer who have a very low white blood cell count and a fever. The goal is to see which antibiotic works better.
Mexico City, TlalpanAges 18 years+ - NCT06423326RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a three-drug chemotherapy combination (gemcitabine, cisplatin, and nab-paclitaxel) given before surgery for people with pancreatic cancer that can be removed or is on the edge of being removable. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve surgery outcomes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06423235RecruitingPhase 4
Prunella oral liquid for thyroid nodules
This trial tests if an herbal liquid made from prunella can shrink benign thyroid nodules. It may be an option for people with solid, non-cancerous nodules who want to avoid surgery.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06423690Recruiting
Safety study of the EAS1 system for small lung tumors
This study tests a new system called EAS1 for people with early-stage lung cancer who are already scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works well, and it may offer a less invasive way to remove small lung tumors.
Kfar SabaAges 18–80 - NCT06424080Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs. robotic partial nephrectomy for kidney tumors
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery—laparoscopic and robotic-assisted—to remove kidney tumors while saving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes and recovery for patients with small, early-stage kidney cancers.
Shibīn al Kawm, Menoufia -Ages 18 years+ - NCT06423976Recruiting
Studying microbes in prostate cancer tumors
This trial collects tumor samples from men with prostate cancer to study the bacteria and other microbes inside the tumor. It aims to learn how these microbes might affect the cancer and treatment.
Sutton, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT06424067RecruitingPhase 2
Fingolimod for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if the drug fingolimod can help people with advanced non-small cell or small cell lung cancer that has worsened after at least two previous treatments. Fingolimod is a pill taken daily that may help the immune system fight the cancer.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06424301RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted gene therapy for hard-to-treat retinoblastoma
This trial tests an experimental drug that targets a specific gene (NUDT21) to treat retinoblastoma that has not responded to standard treatments. It is for children who have active tumor in only one eye and whose only other option is to remove the eye, but who want to try to save the eye instead.
ShanghaiAges 6 months+ - NCT06424340RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell therapy for relapsed or refractory AML with NPM1 mutation
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy, called MB-dNPM1-TCR.1, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has returned or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells, which are specially trained to find and attack leukemia cells that have a specific mutation in the NPM1 gene.
LeidenAges 18 years+ - NCT06424522Recruiting
Enema program for bowel problems after rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests a special enema program to help people with ongoing bowel problems (called LARS) after rectal cancer surgery. If standard treatments haven't worked, this program might offer a new way to manage symptoms like urgency and leakage.

Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06425133RecruitingPhase 2
Regorafenib plus low-dose chemo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of regorafenib (a targeted pill that cuts off blood supply to tumors) with a low-dose, continuous chemotherapy regimen for people whose colorectal cancer has spread and is no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this mix can slow or stop the cancer's growth.
