Better medication safety when leaving the hospital for palliative care
This trial studies how to improve medication management when patients with advanced illnesses move from hospital care to home care in Muenster. It aims to make the switch smoother and safer for people who need palliative (comfort-focused) treatment.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06649058RecruitingPhase 2
Study on combining drugs and radiation for brain metastases
This trial is for people with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). It tests a new approach where you start a systemic therapy (drugs that travel through your body) and later add focused radiation to the brain tumors, instead of treating them right away. The goal is to see if this sequence works well and avoids unnecessary side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06649123Recruiting
Rectal mucus test for colorectal cancer diagnosis
This trial is testing a new way to check for colorectal cancer by looking at a sample of rectal mucus. It's for people who have been referred for urgent cancer evaluation and may help find cancer earlier.

CD19 CAR-T cells for hard-to-treat AML
This study tests a new type of immunotherapy (CAR-T cells that target CD19) for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has not responded to treatment or has come back. It aims to see if these CAR-T cells are safe and can help control the leukemia.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06649474Recruiting
Oxaliplatin side effects linked to HMGB1 blood levels
This study checks if a substance called HMGB1 in your blood is linked to nerve damage and liver side effects from the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin. It is for people with a specific type of stomach or pancreas cancer that can be surgically removed.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06649565Recruiting
AI model to predict breast cancer treatment response
This trial uses an artificial intelligence model to predict how well breast cancer responds to neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery). It aims to improve treatment planning by analyzing MRI scans taken before and after therapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06649851RecruitingPhase 2
G-CSF to reduce side effects during glioblastoma treatment
This trial is testing whether a drug called G-CSF (which helps boost white blood cells) can help people with glioblastoma who are already receiving standard treatment with radiation and chemotherapy (temozolomide). It aims to see if G-CSF can reduce side effects and improve outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06650033Recruiting
Pelvic adaptive radiotherapy study
This trial tests a special type of radiation called adaptive radiotherapy for people with certain pelvic cancers. Adaptive radiotherapy adjusts the treatment plan each day based on changes in your body, which may help target the cancer more precisely and reduce side effects.
St Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06650163RecruitingPhase 1
New imaging test for brain tumor surgery planning
This trial tests a new kind of PET scan that uses a special tracer (Zr-89 crefmirlimab berdoxam) to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. If you are scheduled to have your brain tumor removed, this scan may give your surgeon extra information to guide the operation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06650423Recruiting
Staying on hormone therapy for early breast cancer
This study looks at how well patients take their hormone-lowering pills (aromatase inhibitors, with or without abemaciclib) for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to understand adherence patterns and help improve support for patients.
LjubljanaAges 18–99 - NCT06650514RecruitingPhase 2
OMO-103 for advanced osteosarcoma
This trial tests a new drug called OMO-103, which targets a protein called Myc that helps cancer cells grow. It is for people with advanced osteosarcoma (bone cancer) that has worsened after standard chemotherapy. The drug is given intravenously (through a vein), and the study will check if it is safe and shrinks tumors.
BarcelonaAges 12 years+ - NCT06650579RecruitingPhase 3
Heart safety study of relugolix vs leuprolide for prostate cancer
This trial compares two hormone therapy combinations for men with prostate cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if a newer oral medication (Relugolix) plus abiraterone works better than the standard injectable therapy (Lupron) plus abiraterone, while also checking heart safety.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06650566RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of LM-299 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called LM-299 for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if LM-299 is safe and effective.
Perth, Western AustraliaAges 18–80 - NCT06651151RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant LTX-315 plus pembrolizumab for resectable melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (LTX-315 and pembrolizumab) given before surgery to shrink melanoma that is stage III or IV (M1a) and can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach works better than surgery alone.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06651229RecruitingPhase 1
Study of JNJ-90189892 for blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug, JNJ-90189892, for people with certain types of blood cancers (acute myeloid leukemia or higher-risk myelodysplastic neoplasms) that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
