DVRd treatment for newly diagnosed double-hit myeloma
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) for people newly diagnosed with a high-risk form of multiple myeloma called double-hit myeloma. It aims to see if this drug combo can improve outcomes for those with two or more high-risk genetic changes.

Donate your blood, urine, or tissue for cancer research
This study collects samples like blood, urine, and possibly tissue to support cancer research. You may help researchers learn more about cancer and how to better detect or treat it.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05424159Recruiting
Carbon ion radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation that uses carbon ions to treat pancreatic cancer that can’t be removed with surgery but has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink or control the tumor while limiting radiation side effects to nearby organs.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06160596Recruiting
Understanding long-term cancer survival in hard-to-treat tumors
This study looks at why some people with hard-to-treat cancers live much longer than expected. It collects tumor samples to search for clues that might help future patients.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT04792892Recruiting
Study of quality of life after new anal cancer diagnosis
This study looks at how people’s day-to-day functioning and quality of life change after an anal cancer diagnosis. It mainly enrolls adults recently diagnosed to understand outcomes early on.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT02139020Recruiting
Plasma sample collection for head and neck squamous cancer
This study collects blood plasma samples from people with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Researchers want to better understand how treatments work, based on your prior cancer therapy, which may help future care.
Ottignies, Brabant WallonAges 18 years+ - NCT06161779Recruiting
Reconstructing the hypopharynx after cancer removal
This trial tests a surgical technique using a flap from under your chin to rebuild the hypopharynx after removing cancer. It may help people with hypopharyngeal cancer that has not spread far and who have not had radiation before.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT00437879Recruiting
Ultrasound and MRI scans to track breast cancer response early
This study uses ultrasound and/or MRI scans to see how breast cancer responds early while you start “neoadjuvant” treatment (chemotherapy, with or without radiation before surgery). It may help doctors spot response sooner and better understand which imaging changes match treatment benefit.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT05681650RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
HER2-targeted CAR-T for HER2-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immune-cell therapy (CAR-T) that targets a protein called HER2 in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers. It may help shrink tumors and control the disease after standard treatments have failed or when there is no clear standard option.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05154305Recruiting
Rehab program for children after acute cancer treatment
This trial studies a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program to help children and teens recover and improve their physical fitness after acute cancer treatment. It may be useful if you’re not currently on cancer medicines and are in the follow-up period.
GhentAges 8–21 - NCT06168032Recruiting
COVID-19 vaccine for lung cancer patients
This trial is testing how well the COVID-19 vaccine works for people with lung cancer to prevent another infection. It also looks at certain biomarkers in your blood that might help predict your body's immune response.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05360277RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance immunotherapy and chemo after surgery for metastatic colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies tislelizumab plus capecitabine given after surgery to help prevent metastatic colorectal cancer from coming back. It may be an option if you recently had surgery that removed visible disease and you have good overall health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06167356Recruiting
Bladder cancer relapse and quality of life study after TURBT
This study tracks patients with early-stage bladder cancer after surgery (TURBT) to see how often the cancer returns and how it affects your daily life.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06167109Recruiting
NBI and MRI to guide radiation planning for one-sided nose cancer
This trial tests whether combining a special scope (NBI) with MRI scans can help doctors better target radiation therapy for a specific type of nose/throat cancer that affects only one side. It aims to make treatment more precise and reduce side effects.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04242017RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Longer hormone treatment plus salvage radiation versus shorter
This trial compares two schedules of hormone treatment (ADT) along with salvage radiation after prostate cancer surgery, to see which one controls cancer better over the long term. It may help people who have a rising PSA level after surgery but no spread found yet.
GhentAges Any age - NCT04428528Recruiting
Ultrasound-like pictures that track breast tumors during chemotherapy
This study uses a special light-based imaging scan to learn more about breast masses and how tumors may respond to chemotherapy before surgery. The scan is meant to help doctors better characterize tumors and potentially track treatment response.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT03908684Recruiting
Ultrasound tests to predict early response to prostate and head/neck radiation
This study uses special ultrasound imaging to look for early signs of how well radiation treatment is working in prostate, rectum, and head/neck cancers. It may help doctors spot response sooner and adjust care earlier if needed.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT04428515Recruiting
Photoacoustic scans for untreated head and neck cancer
This study tests a special imaging scan (photoacoustic imaging) to help doctors look at head and neck cancer before treatment. It’s for people who have not had first-line therapy yet and will be starting radiotherapy.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT05424016Recruiting
Propranolol for brain blood-vessel tumors in VHL
This trial studies whether propranolol, a beta-blocker medicine, can help people with VHL who have non-urgent hemangioblastomas in the brain/spinal cord. It aims to see if the medication is safe and beneficial without needing immediate surgery.
Le Kremlin-BicêtreAges 18 years+ - NCT04134780Recruiting
Ultrasound tests to spot early breast cancer treatment response
This study uses special ultrasound imaging (and may use MRI results) to look for early signs of how locally advanced breast cancer responds to chemotherapy, with or without radiation. If the imaging changes early, it could help doctors adjust treatment sooner.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06169436Recruiting
Study of People with Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Having Surgery
This study watches people with upper tract urothelial cancer who are having surgery to remove the kidney and ureter. It aims to collect information to better understand the disease and improve future care.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06031181RecruitingPhase 3
Sublobar resection for early lung cancer found during surgery
This trial tests if a smaller surgery (sublobar resection) works well for patients with very early-stage lung cancer (adenocarcinoma in situ or minimally invasive adenocarcinoma) that is found during the operation. It may help avoid removing more lung tissue than necessary.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06161428Recruiting
Dye-guided lymph node biopsy for vulvar cancer
This trial tests a new way to find and remove the first lymph node that might contain cancer cells in women with large or recurrent vulvar cancer. It uses a special dye to guide the surgeon, which may help improve staging and reduce side effects.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06159478RecruitingPhase 2
Testing binimetinib for BRAF fusion brain tumors and pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a targeted drug, binimetinib, for people with low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) or pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change called a BRAF fusion. The drug aims to block signals that help these tumors grow.
