Study on how essential thrombocythemia evolves into polycythemia vera
This study watches how a blood condition called essential thrombocythemia (ET) changes into another condition called polycythemia vera (PV) in people with a specific JAK2 mutation. It aims to learn more about these changes and what happens to patients over time.

BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT07178847Recruiting
Cancer DNA after chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This study looks for cancer DNA left in the body after standard chemoradiation for advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer. It aims to understand if this residual DNA means the disease is more likely to come back.

This study looks at how pelvic floor function and emotional well-being are affected at least one year after prostate removal surgery for prostate cancer. It aims to understand long-term outcomes to help improve care.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06825078Recruiting
Lung MRI with synthetic CT for monitoring lung nodules
This study tests whether using an MRI combined with a special type of CT scan can effectively monitor lung nodules over time. It may help people at high risk for lung cancer avoid repeated radiation from regular CT scans.

Eflornithine (DFMO) for Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma
This trial tests a drug called eflornithine (DFMO) for people with Ewing sarcoma or osteosarcoma that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if DFMO can help control the cancer after standard treatment.
Tampa, FloridaAges birth–50 years - NCT07567027Recruiting
Testing a spacing gel to improve prostate cancer freezing treatment
This trial tests whether a special gel placed between the prostate and rectum improves the safety and effectiveness of cryoablation—a freezing treatment for prostate cancer. The gel aims to protect the rectum from cold damage during the procedure.
New York, New YorkAges 40–95 - NCT07041606Recruiting
A study on advanced endometrial cancer in Russia
This study looks at genetic profiles and first treatments for advanced or aggressive endometrial cancer in women in Russia. It aims to understand how genetic information might guide better treatment choices.
ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT06906471RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a PSMA dye to improve prostate biopsy
This trial tests a new dye (AS1986NS) that sticks to prostate cancer cells during a biopsy. It aims to help doctors see cancer more clearly. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for a standard prostate biopsy and have no major health issues.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT06769087Enrolling by invitation
Removing urinary catheter right after colorectal cancer surgery
This study compares taking out the urinary catheter immediately after colorectal cancer surgery versus leaving it in for one day. It aims to see which approach leads to fewer complications and faster recovery.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06486142RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing targeted pills for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This study tests three different targeted pills (osimertinib, afatinib, dacomitinib) in people with advanced EGFR-mutated lung cancer who haven't had targeted therapy before. The goal is to find which pill works best and has the fewest side effects.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT06486350Recruiting
IL-6 as a marker for AML chemotherapy sensitivity
This trial looks at whether a protein called IL-6 can help predict how well chemotherapy will work in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who haven't been treated before. It aims to find better ways to personalize treatment.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06486506Recruiting
Results of thigh bone replacement after bone tumor surgery
This study looks back at patients who had surgery to replace the top part of the thigh bone after a bone sarcoma. Researchers want to understand how well these surgeries worked over time.
Bologna, BOAges 18–90 - NCT06487429RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation followed by combo therapy for HER2+ stomach cancer
This trial tests a new approach for stomach cancer that has spread to nearby tissues but not to other organs. You would get a short course of radiation, followed by a combination of targeted therapy (Disitamab Vedotin), chemotherapy (S-1), and immunotherapy (Sintilimab) before surgery to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06487247Recruiting
Home transfusion program for blood cancer patients
This trial offers red blood cell or platelet transfusions at home for people with blood cancer who are no longer responding to treatment. It aims to improve comfort and quality of life by avoiding hospital visits.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06487221RecruitingPhase 2
Avutometinib and Defactinib for diffuse stomach cancer
This trial tests two oral drugs, avutometinib and defactinib, for people with a specific type of stomach cancer called diffuse gastric cancer. The goal is to see if these drugs can help shrink or slow the cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06487403Recruiting
Delaying radiation for head and neck cancer: MRI and immune markers study
This study tests whether delaying radiation therapy can help doctors learn more from MRI scans and immune system changes in patients with head and neck cancer. This could lead to better treatment decisions.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06487507Recruiting
Mediterranean diets for men before prostate surgery
This study tests whether a medically designed Mediterranean diet can help men before prostate cancer surgery. You would eat special foods and be monitored closely to see how the diet affects your health and recovery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06487624RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HCB301 for advanced solid tumors and Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests a new drug called HCB301, which targets proteins that help cancer hide from the immune system. It is for people with advanced solid tumors or classical Hodgkin lymphoma who have tried other treatments without success.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06487663Recruiting
TACE plus immunotherapy for untreated liver cancer

TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06488222RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy for low-grade bladder cancer that comes back
This trial tests whether putting two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) directly into the bladder can treat low-grade bladder cancer that is at intermediate risk. The goal is to see if this approach can help people avoid more invasive treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06488365Recruiting
Melanoma blood test using a new device (Cytophone)
