Brain effects of ALK/ROS1 lung cancer drugs and quality of life
This study looks at how certain targeted therapy drugs for ALK/ROS1-positive lung cancer may affect thinking, memory, mood, and mental health. It aims to build a special care and research path where patients and researchers work together to understand and manage these side effects.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06781879RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing bladder medication vs surgery for returning low-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests whether a chemotherapy drug placed directly into the bladder (chemoablation) works as well as surgery followed by chemotherapy for people whose low-grade bladder tumors have come back. It aims to find a less invasive option that still controls the cancer.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06781970Recruiting
Vitamin C for eye cell protection during cataract surgery
This trial tests whether taking vitamin C before and after cataract surgery can help protect the inner layer of the eye. It is for people aged 60 or older with hard, age-related cataracts who are having phacoemulsification surgery.
Jakarta, DKI JakartaAges 60 years+ - NCT06781996RecruitingPhase 3
Digital tool to help manage hormone therapy side effects
This trial tests a digital tool (a smartphone app) to help women and men with early breast cancer manage side effects from hormone therapy. The goal is to improve quality of life during treatment.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT06782412RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New imaging test for different cancers using FAPI-PET
This trial is testing a new imaging method called FAPI-PET to see if it can help find and understand tumors better than standard scans. It is for people with newly diagnosed stomach/esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, or those with unclear symptoms or scan results.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT06782451Recruiting
Testing tumor samples to find new treatments based on DNA changes
This trial takes a sample of your tumor during a standard procedure to grow it in a lab and test different drugs. The goal is to find which drugs might work best for people with your specific tumor DNA change.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT06782542RecruitingPhase 2
A new drug combo for newly diagnosed AML with IDH1 mutation
This trial tests a combination of olutasidenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine for people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has an IDH1 mutation. It is for patients who are healthy enough for intensive chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this drug combination works better than standard treatment.
