Preventing lung inflammation during chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether two medicines, pentoxifylline and vitamin E, can help prevent a type of lung inflammation called pneumonitis in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who are getting chemoradiation and a checkpoint inhibitor. These medicines are already used for other conditions and may lower the risk of this side effect.

Immune response after chemoradiation and immunotherapy for stage III lung cancer
This study looks at how the body’s immune system responds in people with stage III lung cancer (not removable by surgery) who first get chemotherapy and radiation and then receive the immunotherapy drug durvalumab for one year. It aims to learn more about the immune response and why the treatment works better for some people.

CAR T cell therapy for children with relapsed B-cell leukemia
This trial tests a new CAR T cell treatment for children whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia has come back or not responded to standard therapy. The goal is to see if this therapy is safe and can help control the cancer so a stem cell transplant may be possible.
Tehran, Tehran ProvinceAges 2–18 - NCT06635681RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus intensive chemo for AML subtypes
This trial tests whether adding the targeted drug venetoclax to intensive chemotherapy works better for different types of AML. It is for people aged 14 to 60 who are newly diagnosed and have not received prior treatment.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 14–60 - NCT06635837Recruiting
MRI for ovarian masses during pregnancy
This study looks at whether MRI can help doctors better understand ovarian masses found during pregnancy. It aims to improve diagnosis and care for you and your baby.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06635954Recruiting
Blood test to predict response to immunotherapy
This study is testing a blood test (Episwitch CiRT®) that looks at your DNA to see if it can predict whether you will respond to a type of immunotherapy called PD-(L)-1 checkpoint inhibitors. The goal is to see if this test is accurate across many different types of cancer.
Norwich, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06635980RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before or after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation for breast cancer that has not spread: before or after surgery. It aims to see if giving radiation first might work as well or better.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06636175RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New imaging test for blood cancers
This study tests a new imaging agent called 64Cu-LLP2A to see if it can better detect certain blood cancers like multiple myeloma and low-grade lymphomas. It aims to find tumors more clearly than standard scans, which could help your doctor plan the best care for you.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06636162RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing DSP-0390 before surgery for gliomas
This trial tests a drug called DSP-0390 in people with gliomas (a type of brain tumor). You take the drug for a short time before your scheduled surgery to see how it affects the tumor. It might help doctors find new ways to treat these tumors.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06636188Recruiting
AI Nurse Assistant to Reduce Distress During Cancer Radiation
This trial is testing a new AI-powered nurse assistant to help reduce distress during radiation therapy. It is for people with head and neck or laryngeal cancer who are about to start treatment and feel significant distress.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06636370Recruiting
Extra screening for women with dense breast tissue
This trial offers extra screening (MRI or contrast-enhanced mammogram) for women with extremely dense breast tissue who have had a normal mammogram. The goal is to see if these extra tests can find cancers that might be missed by standard mammography.
UtrechtAges 49–72 - NCT06636435RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBA-1205 for advanced cancers including liver, melanoma, and pediatric cancer
This trial tests a new drug called CBA-1205 for people with advanced solid tumors, liver cancer, melanoma, or certain childhood cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug targets a protein called DLK1 found on some cancer cells.
