AI tool for diagnosing colon polyps
This trial uses artificial intelligence to help better identify polyps during a colonoscopy, which could improve diagnosis and treatment decisions.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06447376RecruitingPhase 1
Testing siltuximab before epcoritamab to prevent cytokine release syndrome
This trial tests whether giving siltuximab before epcoritamab can help prevent or reduce cytokine release syndrome (a possible side effect where the immune system overreacts). It is for people with certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that have not responded well to at least two prior treatments.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT06447961Recruiting
Psychological impacts of living with inherited colorectal cancer risk
This study explores how people feel emotionally and mentally when they have a genetic condition that raises their risk of colorectal cancer. It aims to understand the psychological effects, which could help improve support for others in the future.
LondonAges 18–99 - NCT06448026RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab and cetuximab before surgery for mouth or throat cancer
This trial tests whether combining two targeted drugs (cemiplimab and cetuximab) before surgery can help people with recurrent mouth or throat cancer that has come back after initial treatment. It aims to see if this approach makes surgery more effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06448013RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with chemo for pediatric AML
This trial tests a new drug, ziftomenib, combined with two standard chemotherapies (venetoclax and gemtuzumab) for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It looks for specific genetic changes in the leukemia cells.
Houston, TexasAges 3–21 - NCT06448455Recruiting
Frailty in lung cancer patients
This study uses a simple questionnaire to understand how frailty affects people living with lung cancer. It helps doctors learn more about your overall health and how to better support you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06448572RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EXL01 and nivolumab for immunotherapy-resistant lung cancer
This trial tests an investigational microbiome therapy (EXL01) combined with nivolumab (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer continued to grow after standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding EXL01 can help the immune system fight the cancer again.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06448897Recruiting
AI model to predict lymph node spread in cervical cancer
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze your preoperative MRI and pathology results to better predict if cervical cancer has spread to pelvic lymph nodes. The goal is to improve future treatment decisions for patients with cervical cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06449664Recruiting
