Acolbifene vs low-dose tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares acolbifene and low-dose tamoxifen to see which better lowers breast cancer risk in premenopausal women at high risk. You would be followed with health visits, blood tests, and a breast tissue sampling procedure.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 35 years+ - NCT07687147Recruiting
Daily adjusted radiation dose for abdominal and pelvic tumors
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy for tumors in the belly or pelvis. Doctors will use daily MRI scans to adjust the radiation dose, aiming to better protect nearby organs while still treating the cancer.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07686016Recruiting
Radiation therapy for prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots
This trial studies the use of radiation to the prostate and to all visible spots where cancer has spread, in men who have up to 10 small areas of spread when first diagnosed. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer.
Zamość, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT04968964Recruiting
Monitoring test for CDK4/6 drugs in metastatic breast cancer
This study follows people with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who are taking CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment (with or without an added blood test called DiviTum®). The goal is to see how well the standard treatment is working and whether DiviTum® (a serum TK1 activity test) can help guide monitoring.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06819228RecruitingPhase 1
Lighted antibody imaging in head and neck cancer surgery
This trial tests a special fluorescent dye attached to panitumumab, a cancer-targeting antibody, to help surgeons see tumor tissue more clearly during head and neck cancer surgery. The goal is to improve removal of all cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07587086Recruiting
PET/MR scan for breast cancer using fluorocholine
This study uses a special imaging scan (PET/MR) with a tracer called fluorocholine to see if it can help evaluate breast cancer before treatment or before surgery. It is for women who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer and will either have chemotherapy before surgery or go straight to surgery.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 25–75 - NCT06699979Recruiting
Early lung cancer study with multiple tumors or cysts
This study looks at the genes and molecules of early-stage lung cancer in two groups: people with more than one lung tumor at the same time, and people whose lung cancer is tied to air-filled spaces (cysts) seen on a CT scan. The goal is to better understand these types of lung cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07406087Recruiting
Navigation support for young adults after cancer
This study tests a navigation program to help cancer survivors ages 21-45 get the follow-up care they need. It may be a good fit if you were diagnosed with certain cancers as a teen or young adult.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 21–45 - NCT05139017RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test drug Zilovertamab vedotin with standard care for lymphoma
This trial studies zilovertamab vedotin added to standard chemotherapy for people with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It may help by targeting lymphoma cells and improving how well standard treatment works after prior treatments have failed.
Glendale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07464951RecruitingPhase 1
CART123 cells with or without ruxolitinib for AML
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CART123) alone or with a drug called ruxolitinib for children and young adults with AML that has come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help destroy leukemia cells.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–29 years - NCT07384715RecruitingPhase 1
GEN3018 for AML or high-risk MDS
This trial tests a new drug called GEN3018 for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
