Total vs. partial Whipple for high-risk pancreatic cancer
This trial compares removing the entire pancreas (total pancreatectomy) versus removing only the head (standard Whipple) for certain cancers of the pancreas, bile duct, or ampulla. It is for people whose surgeon thinks the pancreas connection after surgery is likely to leak, which can cause serious complications.

Study of posaconazole with immunotherapy and chemo for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests if adding posaconazole (an antifungal drug) to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy before breast cancer surgery works better than just the standard treatment. It is for people with newly diagnosed, early-stage triple-negative breast cancer.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–70 - NCT06802835RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EGFR antibody plus immunotherapy and chemo for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of an EGFR antibody, a PD-1 inhibitor, and chemotherapy for people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this new mix can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06802991Recruiting
Optimized post-discharge care for older colon cancer patients
This trial tests better nutrition and follow-up care for older patients after colon cancer surgery. It focuses on people who are somewhat frail and at risk for poor nutrition, to see if extra support at home can improve recovery.
HerlevAges 65 years+ - NCT06803147Recruiting
Stopping Surveillance for Low-Risk Barrett's Esophagus
This study is testing whether it's safe to stop regular surveillance endoscopies for people with low-risk Barrett's esophagus. If you have a short Barrett's segment without any dysplasia, you may be able to avoid future procedures.
AmsterdamAges Any age - NCT06803251Recruiting
Vascular surgeon role in removing abdominal or pelvic masses
This study looks at how a vascular surgeon (a blood vessel specialist) can help when removing masses in the back of the abdomen or pelvis. If you have a mass that touches blood vessels and you need surgery, this trial may be a good fit for you.
Bologna, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06803693RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for untreated large B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests if adding another drug (X) to a standard chemotherapy mix (Pola-RCHP) works better for people with untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It is for those whose cancer DNA levels did not drop enough after the first round of treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06803875RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cells for relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial is testing a new type of immunotherapy called hALK.CAR T cells for children and young adults with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if these specially engineered cells can find and destroy the cancer cells.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–29 - NCT06803927Recruiting
Detecting Barrett's esophagus with a non-endoscopic device
This trial tests a device that collects cells from the esophagus using a swallowed capsule, which may detect Barrett's esophagus without a standard endoscopy. It is for people who are already scheduled for an endoscopy.
Cordova, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06804135Recruiting
Immune response study during pelvic radiation for cervical cancer
This trial studies how the immune system responds to pelvic radiation therapy (with or without chemotherapy) in patients with cervical or other gynecologic cancers. It may help explain why some treatments work better and could lead to better treatments in the future.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18 years+ - NCT06805019Recruiting
Using CT scans to tell apart uterine sarcoma from fibroids
This study uses AI to look at CT scans from women with uterine sarcomas or fibroids to see if it can tell the difference between the two. The goal is to help doctors make a faster, more accurate diagnosis without needing surgery.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18–80 - NCT06805045Recruiting
Image-guided surgery for rectal cancer
This trial uses special imaging to guide surgery for rectal cancer. It studies whether detailed scans taken before surgery can help doctors remove the cancer more precisely.
BolognaAges 18–80 - NCT06805552Recruiting
Sarcopenia and targeted therapy in liver cancer
This study looks at muscle loss in people with liver cancer who are receiving targeted therapy (TKIs). It aims to understand how muscle health affects treatment outcomes. You may qualify if you have intermediate or advanced liver cancer or earlier stage that hasn't responded to prior treatments.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06805617RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab for advanced salivary gland cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Ivonescimab for people with advanced salivary gland cancer that has spread or cannot be removed surgically. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06805669Recruiting
Early palliative care for advanced soft tissue sarcoma
This study tests whether adding palliative care early on to standard cancer treatment improves quality of life for people newly diagnosed with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06805734Recruiting
Tracking health in children with PTEN gene changes
This study follows children and their affected relatives who have a harmful change in the PTEN gene. The goal is to understand the health risks, especially the chance of developing cancer, over time.
MilanAges Up to 17 years - NCT06805773Recruiting
Educational videos for newly diagnosed sarcoma patients
This study tests whether watching short educational videos helps patients or caregivers of someone with advanced sarcoma that has spread. The trial focuses on people who haven't had any prior treatment for their sarcoma and are comfortable filling out questionnaires in English.

Predicting outcomes of CDK4/6 inhibitors plus hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This study looks at how well a type of targeted therapy (called CDK4/6 inhibitors) combined with hormone therapy works as the first treatment for advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative. Researchers want to find patterns that could help predict which patients benefit most.

Study of NN3201 for advanced cancers with c-Kit
This trial tests a new drug, NN3201, that targets a protein called c-Kit found on some cancer cells. It may be an option for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including GIST, small cell lung cancer, or other c-Kit-positive cancers, who have already tried standard treatments or cannot take them.
