This trial studies whether blood markers can help predict which pancreatic IPMNs are likely to become cancerous. If successful, it could help doctors decide when surgery is needed.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06706713RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BEBT-109 for advanced EGFR exon 20 lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental pill called BEBT-109 for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation) that has gotten worse after chemotherapy. The study aims to see if this targeted therapy can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.

Predicting treatment success with PET scans in prostate cancer
This study looks at whether a special PET scan can help predict how well a targeted radiation therapy (LuPSMA) works in men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread. You would get several PET scans before and after treatment to see if the scan results can forecast your outcome.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06706973Recruiting
Epigenetic study for new head and neck cancer treatments
This trial studies the role of epigenetic marks in head and neck cancer to improve diagnosis and treatment. If you have been newly diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and have not yet received treatment, you may be eligible to participate.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06707233RecruitingPhase 2
Y-90 radioembolization for large liver cancer (over 7 cm)
This trial tests a treatment called Y-90 radioembolization (SIRT) for people with liver cancer that is too large to be removed surgically. The treatment delivers tiny radioactive beads directly to the tumor through the liver's blood supply, which may shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06707259RecruitingPhase 1
Cord blood CAR NK cells for B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new treatment using immune cells from cord blood, called CAR NK cells, to fight certain types of B-cell lymphoma that have come back or not responded to other treatments. It is designed for people who have tried at least two prior therapies.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06707493RecruitingPhase 2
Ivosidenib after stem cell transplant for IDH1-mutated AML
This study tests whether a daily pill called ivosidenib can help prevent AML from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It is for people whose AML has a specific IDH1 gene change and who are planning to have a transplant.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT06707519Recruiting
Lung cancer breath and blood test study
This study is testing new breath and blood tests to detect lung cancer. It may help find better ways to diagnose and monitor non-small cell lung cancer.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07689019Recruiting
Heat and electrical stimulation for head and neck cancer recovery
This study tests whether applying far infrared rays (a type of heat) or mild electrical pulses to the skin can help improve short-term recovery in people with head and neck cancer who are receiving chemotherapy and radiation together. It aims to see if these treatments can reduce side effects or improve quality of life.
Hualien City, Hualien CountyAges 30–85 - NCT04765150Recruiting
AI helps classify prostate cancer using MRI images
This trial studies whether a computer (AI) can better sort MRI results to improve prostate cancer diagnosis or classification. You may benefit by getting your multi-part MRI looked at in a new, more precise way, while helping researchers refine decision-making.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07345676Recruiting
Helping patients complete colorectal cancer screening
This trial is testing a simple program to help people who are due for colorectal cancer screening to complete their test. It's for patients at Cornell Scott Hill Health who either haven't finished a screening order or had an abnormal stool test without follow-up.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 45–75 - NCT07276529Recruiting
Magnet procedure safety trial for colon surgery patients
This trial tests a new magnet device to connect sections of the colon after surgery. It may be an option for people who need part of their colon removed and are otherwise in good health.
Orlando, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT06342440Recruiting
Early detection of colon cancer and advanced polyps
This study aims to find colorectal cancer and advanced polyps (adenomas) earlier by looking at blood samples. Researchers hope a simple blood test might one day help detect colon cancer before it spreads.
Monrovia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05160584Recruiting
Real-world treatment study for relapsed or refractory myeloma
This study follows people with multiple myeloma that has come back or stopped responding to treatment, and looks at how current care is used in real life. It may include people starting talquetamab, and aims to understand outcomes and treatment patterns outside of strict experimental settings.
LeobenAges 18 years+ - NCT06566742RecruitingPhase 2
Olutasidenib for IDH1-mutated blood disorders
This trial tests an oral drug called olutasidenib in people with certain low-risk blood cancers or a pre-cancer condition. It may help by targeting a specific genetic change (IDH1 mutation) found in your blood cells.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06342401Recruiting
Early onset colorectal cancer detection study
This study aims to improve detection of colorectal cancer in people diagnosed before age 50. It compares samples from patients with cancer to those without to find new early detection methods.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT07324577Recruiting
Virtual reality for anxiety during radiation therapy
This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset during radiation therapy can reduce anxiety. It is for people with prostate, breast, lung, or head and neck cancer who will have at least 15 radiation sessions.
High Point, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07685405Recruiting
Biomarker study for Ewing sarcoma
This study looks for special markers called 'biomarkers' in the blood of people with Ewing sarcoma and compares them to people without cancer. It aims to find new ways to understand and potentially monitor this tumor using tiny particles in the blood.
Bologna, BOAges Any age - NCT05127824RecruitingPhase 2

This Phase 2 study tests a personalized kidney cancer vaccine made from your own immune cells. It aims to help your immune system recognize and attack clear cell kidney cancer after surgery, potentially lowering the chance of the cancer coming back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06342414Recruiting
Blood test to tell apart two types of liver cancer
This study uses a blood test (called a liquid biopsy) to help doctors tell the difference between two common types of liver cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). If you have been diagnosed with one of these cancers and have a blood sample taken before starting curative treatment, this study may help improve diagnosis and care.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04184973Recruiting
Testing a colon bypass device during colorectal cancer surgery
This trial studies a device (CG-100) placed inside the bowel to see if it can improve safety and outcomes during surgery for colorectal cancer. You would be asked to follow extra study check-ins after your operation, and the team would monitor whether the device works as intended.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 22–70 - NCT07688356RecruitingPhase 2
Belvarafenib for BRAF-altered brain tumors
This trial tests a drug called Belvarafenib for people with brain tumors that have a BRAF gene change (mutation). The drug targets this specific change to try to shrink or control the tumor. It is for patients whose brain tumor has come back or hasn't responded to other treatments.
