Nemtabrutinib plus rituximab for first-line mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, nemtabrutinib (a targeted pill) and rituximab (an antibody infusion), for people with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who haven't had prior treatment. The goal is to see how well these drugs work together to control the lymphoma.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06572813RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding bortezomib and an immunotherapy drug to standard chemotherapy can help people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs. It is for patients who have not had treatment or whose cancer has worsened after gemcitabine-based chemotherapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06572501Recruiting
Robotic kidney tumor surgery: lying on stomach versus side
This study compares two ways of positioning patients during robotic kidney surgery to remove a tumor. The goal is to see which position leads to better outcomes, like less pain or faster recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06572540Recruiting
Cryoablation for early-stage lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to freeze and destroy small lung tumors: through the chest wall or through the airways. It’s for people with early-stage lung cancer who are not able or willing to have surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06572735Recruiting
PARP Inhibitor Dosing in Older Ovarian Cancer Patients
This trial studies how well older adults (70+) with advanced ovarian cancer tolerate PARP inhibitors in real-world care. It aims to see if the standard dose works for this age group.
AmiensAges 70 years+ - NCT06573073Recruiting
Lung cancer test for EGFR T790M mutation
This trial tests a new blood test that can detect a specific genetic change (EGFR T790M) in advanced lung cancer. It aims to see if the test works well for guiding treatment decisions.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06573723Recruiting
Rare disease registry at Hospital Italiano
This study collects information from patients with certain rare diseases to better understand them. If you have one of these conditions and receive care at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, you may be able to join.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges Any age - NCT06574022RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two pain blocks for mastectomy recovery
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (PECS-II and pectoral blocks) to see which works better after mastectomy. The goal is to improve pain control and recovery for patients with breast cancer or high risk.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06574087Recruiting
