This study tests a six-week online program to help women with breast cancer return to work after completing their cancer treatments (except hormone therapy). The program focuses on rebuilding work skills and confidence.
GalwayAges 18–70 - NCT06724159Recruiting
Study of funded drugs for genitourinary cancers
This study looks at how well newer funded cancer drugs work for people with cancers of the urinary or reproductive systems, such as bladder, prostate, or kidney cancer. Researchers want to learn about real-world outcomes based on routine care in hospitals across Spain.
Albacete, AlbaceteAges 18 years+ - NCT06724536Recruiting
Study of gut bacteria and TKIs in chronic myeloid leukemia
This trial looks at how gut bacteria affect the way chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients respond to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) medications. It may help doctors understand why some people have better outcomes than others.
TorinoAges 18 years+ - NCT06725082RecruitingPhase 1
Collagen treatment for breast tumor surgery recovery
This trial tests if a lab-made human collagen, applied during breast tumor surgery, can improve healing and long-term outcomes. It may be an option for women who are having a needle biopsy and surgery, and have not had prior cancer treatment.
Beijing, ChinaAges 18–80 - NCT06725121RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer before transplant
This trial tests combining radiation therapy with immunotherapy (AtezoBev) before a liver transplant for advanced liver cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and make transplant possible for more people.
London, OntarioAges 18–70 - NCT06725173Recruiting
Retinoblastoma genetics and tumor spread study
This study looks at gene changes in retinoblastoma to understand why some tumors spread outside the eye. It may help find better ways to predict and treat the disease.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Any age - NCT06725368RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus cetuximab after pembrolizumab for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) plus a targeted therapy (cetuximab) for people with advanced head and neck cancer that has gotten worse after treatment with pembrolizumab (with or without initial chemotherapy). The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Ars-LaquenexyAges 18 years+ - NCT06725498RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy directly into an artery, radiation, and immunotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer. It may offer a new treatment option for people whose cancer hasn't spread to other parts of the body.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06725524RecruitingPhase 1
New drug for B-cell lymphoma that returned after treatment
This trial tests a new drug called JMT601 for people with a type of B-cell lymphoma that came back or didn't respond to at least two previous treatments. The drug targets a protein on the cancer cells to help your immune system fight the disease.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT06725576Recruiting
Comparing microwave ablation vs. surgery for low-risk thyroid cancer
This study compares a less invasive procedure (microwave ablation) with traditional surgery for treating a small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. If you have a single, small tumor with certain low-risk gene changes, you might be able to avoid surgery and have a quicker recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06725940Recruiting
PET scan to check treatment response in breast cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how well your breast cancer is responding to neoadjuvant therapy (treatment given before surgery). The goal is to help doctors personalize your care by checking if the cancer is shrinking.
ShanghaiAges 18–65 - NCT06726161RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new way to find and treat liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. First, a special dye (RYZ811) is used to see if your cancer cells have a marker called GPC3. If they do, you may receive a targeted radiation treatment (RYZ801) that seeks out those cells. This trial is for people whose liver cancer has grown despite receiving at least one prior therapy.
