Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06710665Recruiting
Predicting adjuvant therapy success after esophageal cancer surgery
This trial looks at how well the tumor responded to chemotherapy or radiation before surgery, to see if that can help doctors decide next steps like additional treatment. It may help people with esophageal squamous cell cancer who had the tumor removed completely after initial therapy.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06711211Recruiting
Digestive cancer registry study
This study collects information from patients with different types of digestive cancers to better understand these diseases and improve future care. It does not test a new treatment, but helps doctors learn more about digestive cancers over time.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06711185RecruitingPhase 3
Can dapagliflozin protect breast cancer patients' hearts during chemo?
This trial tests if a diabetes medicine called dapagliflozin (also known as Farxiga) can protect the hearts of women with breast cancer while they receive anthracycline chemotherapy. You would take the medicine and have heart MRI scans to see if it helps prevent heart damage.
Campinas, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06711432Recruiting
Blood Pressure Management During Tumor Surgery and Brain Function
This trial compares different blood pressure management strategies during abdominal tumor surgery to see which one better protects cognitive function (thinking, memory, and clarity). It is for patients who have multiple stroke risk factors and are undergoing a lengthy surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40–85 - NCT06711705RecruitingPhase 2
Elranatamab for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
This study tests a new drug called elranatamab for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to previous treatments. Elranatamab is a type of immunotherapy that targets a protein on myeloma cells to help your immune system fight the cancer.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06712095Recruiting
Video Capsule for Lynch Syndrome Screening
This study tests whether a video capsule (a pill-sized camera you swallow) can help find polyps in people with Lynch syndrome, without needing a colonoscopy. It may be an easier way to screen for colon cancer.
London, (Select)Ages 18 years+ - NCT06712121RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus decitabine for relapsed or refractory T-ALL
This trial tests the combination of two drugs, venetoclax and decitabine, for people whose T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia has come back or hasn't responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combo can help when other treatments haven't worked.
Seongnam-siAges 19–80 - NCT06712420RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for advanced gallbladder cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy before surgery helps people with locally advanced gallbladder cancer that can still be removed. It may improve outcomes by shrinking the tumor beforehand.
Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–70 - NCT06712472RecruitingPhase 3
Testing maintenance olaparib versus observation after chemoradiation for p53 abnormal endometrial cancer
This trial tests whether taking a daily pill called olaparib after standard chemoradiation can help prevent endometrial cancer with a p53 mutation from coming back. Half of participants will receive olaparib, and the other half will just be watched closely.
AlbiAges 18 years+ - NCT06712745RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized lung cancer radiation therapy study
This trial tests a new approach to radiation therapy for central lung cancers, giving high doses in very short bursts to see if it's safe and effective. It may be an option for people whose tumors are not too large and are in a specific central location.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06712810RecruitingPhase 1
Q702 for blood cancers and histiocytic disorders
This study tests an experimental pill called Q702 for people with certain blood cancers and related disorders (like histiocytoses, myelofibrosis, and lymphomas) that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if Q702 is safe and effective.

Pronase to improve stomach cleanliness during endoscopy
This study tests whether a medicine called pronase, taken before an upper endoscopy (a scope test to look at your stomach), helps keep the stomach lining cleaner so the doctor can see better. If you are having a routine upper endoscopy, this might help make the exam more accurate.
