AI learning from MRI and tissue to improve prostate cancer care
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at your MRI scans, tissue samples, and medical records to learn more about prostate cancer and find better ways to treat it. You may join if you've had prostate removal surgery or have advanced prostate cancer.
NovaraAges 18–80 - NCT06468254RecruitingPhase 2
Testing statins with chemo for ovarian cancer
This study tests whether adding a statin (a common cholesterol-lowering drug) to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with ovarian cancer. It's for women who are about to receive chemotherapy as part of their treatment plan.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06468566Recruiting
New imaging test for breast lumps using sound and light
This study tests a new kind of imaging that uses sound waves and light to tell if a breast lump is benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). It could help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–85 - NCT06468696Recruiting
Scarless thyroid surgery study
This trial is testing a specific type of scarless thyroid surgery (through the chest) and seeing how well it works for people with thyroid tumors that haven't spread. It might be a good fit if you want to avoid a neck scar.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06468852Recruiting
Fluid management during head and neck cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a specific way of giving fluids during surgery (called goal-directed fluid therapy) can improve recovery after head and neck cancer surgery. It involves having a small tube in your artery to closely watch your blood pressure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06469281RecruitingPhase 1
A new immune cell therapy for recurring ovarian cancer
This early-phase trial tests a new immune cell therapy called 27T51, which targets a protein called MUC16 found on ovarian cancer cells. The study is for people with recurrent or treatment-resistant ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer to see if the therapy is safe and works when given alone or with other treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06469008RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-B16D1 for advanced head and neck cancer and other solid tumors
This study tests a new drug, BL-B16D1, for people with advanced head and neck cancer or other solid tumors that have not been helped by standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06470282RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combo plus radiation for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) plus radiation therapy for people with bladder cancer that has grown into the muscle layer. The goal is to see if this treatment can kill the cancer while avoiding the need for bladder removal surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06470243RecruitingPhase 3
Adding carboplatin to cabazitaxel for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug called carboplatin to another chemotherapy called cabazitaxel works better than cabazitaxel alone for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. All participants must have already had docetaxel chemotherapy.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06470607Recruiting
Lung tumor immune cell study for surgery patients
This study looks at immune cells inside lung tumors to better understand how they work. If you are having surgery for a thoracic tumor, your tissue could help researchers learn more.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06470711Recruiting
Mapping brain electrical properties with MRI
This study uses MRI scans to map the brain's electrical properties in healthy volunteers and in people who have had surgery for a brain tumor (glioma). It aims to better understand brain function and tumor effects.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06471452Recruiting
Living Better After Breast Cancer Treatment
This study is for people who have completed breast cancer treatment and want to improve their quality of life. It tests ways to help you feel better and live well after treatment.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06471465RecruitingPhase 3
Avastin for brain swelling after radiation
This trial tests a drug called Avastin (bevacizumab) for people with brain swelling (radionecrosis) after radiation. It's for those whose symptoms don't get better with steroids or come back when steroids are reduced.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06471673RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BRIA-OTS cellular immunotherapy for metastatic breast cancer
This study tests an investigational cellular immunotherapy called BRIA-OTS for people with metastatic breast cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to standard treatments. It aims to help the immune system fight cancer cells.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06472089Recruiting
Support program for caregivers of stem cell transplant patients
This study tests a program to help caregivers of patients receiving a stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) for blood cancer. It aims to reduce stress and provide support during this challenging time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06472063Recruiting
Surgery first vs chemo then surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial compares two approaches for stomach cancer that has spread a bit but can still be removed with surgery. One group has surgery first, the other gets chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see which sequence leads to better long-term outcomes.
Orbassano, PiedmontAges 18 years+ - NCT06472128Recruiting
New digital app for adults with acute myeloid leukemia
This study tests a digital application to help patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during their hospital stay. It may assist with tracking symptoms, education, or communication with care teams.

Testing two doses of everolimus for neuroendocrine tumors
This trial compares two daily doses (5 mg vs 10 mg) of everolimus, a targeted therapy, to see which works better and is safer for people with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). You may qualify if your cancer has grown despite previous treatment and you are in relatively good health.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 16 years+ - NCT06472505Recruiting
Using a special mesh to prevent fluid leaks after pituitary surgery
This trial tests if using a polyglycolic acid mesh during endoscopic nasal surgery for pituitary tumors can help prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage. This may reduce the risk of complications after surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06472570Recruiting
Targeted radiation for head and neck tumors
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiosurgery for people with head or neck tumors. It may be an option for those who need radiation or chemoradiation as their main treatment or after surgery.
Gliwice, GliwicwAges 18–80 - NCT06472583RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests giving immunotherapy combined with a precise, high-dose radiation boost before surgery for HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes, especially for cancers that are more advanced or have spread to a few other spots in the body.
