Study of Elovie for advanced colorectal cancer
This study looks at how well a biosimilar version of bevacizumab (Elovie) works in people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread and cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if Elovie is safe and effective when used as the first treatment for this cancer.
Vitória, Espírito SantoAges 18 years+ - NCT06809101Recruiting
Home blood test monitoring for cancer patients on chemotherapy
This study tests whether cancer patients can do their own blood counts at home using a finger-prick test. It will help see if home monitoring is a good option for people receiving chemotherapy.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT06809517RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new antibody plus chemotherapy for leptomeningeal metastasis
This trial tests a combination treatment for cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). It uses an antibody given directly into the spinal fluid along with a chemotherapy drug, with the goal of targeting the cancer more effectively.
Huizhou, GuangdongAges 21–75 - NCT06809660Recruiting
Gut bacteria and cancer risk from everyday chemicals
This study looks at how chemicals in the environment (called endocrine disruptors) might affect the natural bacteria in your gut and whether that could play a role in colorectal cancer. If you are having a colonoscopy (endoscopy), you may be able to participate.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT06810336RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Pain control after brain surgery: methadone vs remifentanil
This trial compares two medicines, methadone and remifentanil, to see which one works better for pain after brain surgery. It may help improve your recovery and comfort.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT06810375RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve Blocks for Pain After Video-Assisted Lung Surgery
This trial tests two different numbing shots (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. One block is placed near the spine, and the other is between the ribs. The goal is to find the best way to keep you comfortable after surgery.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–90 - NCT06810544RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of TNG456 for tumors with MTAP loss
This trial tests a new drug called TNG456, alone or with another drug (abemaciclib), for people whose tumors have lost the MTAP gene. It aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06810609RecruitingPhase 2
Immunochemotherapy, surgery, and durvalumab for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and either surgery or radiation for people with stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding the drug durvalumab after standard treatment helps control the cancer better.
