Cancer treatment response study for metastatic prostate cancer
This study uses special scans to see how well the drug Pluvicto is working in men with metastatic prostate cancer. You would have two PET scans, one before starting treatment and one after 12 weeks, to check your cancer's response.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06815406Recruiting
Removing large colon polyps: one piece vs. multiple pieces
This trial compares two ways to remove large, flat polyps (granular type) from the colon or rectum: one that removes the polyp in one piece (endoscopic submucosal dissection) and one that removes it in pieces (endoscopic mucosal resection). The goal is to see which method has a lower chance of the polyp coming back.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06815432RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells for recurrent glioblastoma that makes GPC3
This trial tests a treatment made from your own immune cells, called CAR T cells, which are engineered to find and attack brain tumor cells that have a marker called GPC3. It is for patients whose glioblastoma has come back and who are already scheduled to have another surgery to remove the tumor.
Houston, TexasAges 21–70 - NCT06815497RecruitingPhase 2
Telmisartan plus chemo for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests adding telmisartan (a blood pressure medicine) to standard chemotherapy for people with ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum-based drugs. The goal is to see if the combination can help control the cancer better.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06815666RecruitingPhase 2
Lung fluid study for sarcoma patients having surgery
This study looks at fluid from the lungs of people with soft tissue sarcoma who are having surgery to remove a lung tumor. Researchers hope these samples can help understand the disease better.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06815939Recruiting
A Simple, Lab-Free Test for Cervical Cancer
This trial is testing a new, low-cost, lab-free screening test for cervical cancer. The goal is to see if it can detect early signs of cancer without needing a doctor's visit or a lab — making it easier for women to get screened.
San SalvadorAges 30–59 - NCT06816134RecruitingPhase 2
TmBU chemo before stem cell transplant for high-risk leukemia
This clinical trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy drugs (called TmBU) before a stem cell transplant for people with high-risk or relapsed acute leukemia. The goal is to see if this conditioning regimen works better and is safe for patients who need a transplant.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 15–65 - NCT06816121Recruiting
Blood test for early lung cancer in high-risk smokers
This study is evaluating a blood-based test that might detect lung cancer early, before symptoms appear. Researchers are looking for heavy smokers who have no signs of cancer, as well as those with suspicious lung nodules or confirmed lung cancer, to see if a simple blood draw could help identify cancer sooner.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 30–80 - NCT06816160Recruiting
Using a needle biopsy to study abdominal or pelvic tumors
This trial uses a special needle (TRU-Cut biopsy) to take a small tissue sample from a tumor in your abdomen or pelvis. The goal is to better understand the type of cancer and help guide your treatment.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06816771RecruitingPhase 2
Pazopanib plus TGI/CIV for recurrent/refractory rhabdomyosarcoma in children
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (pazopanib and TGI/CIV) for children and teens whose rhabdomyosarcoma has come back or hasn't responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Jinan, ShandongAges 2–18 - NCT06816823RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK Cells for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR-NK cells (CL-NK-001) for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific marker (eGR1). The goal is to see if these specially grown natural killer cells can attack the cancer after standard treatments have stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT06817161RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve stimulation for quality of life during ovarian cancer treatment
This trial tests if a gentle nerve stimulation device on the ear can improve quality of life for people with ovarian cancer who are starting their first chemotherapy. It may help manage symptoms like fatigue or feeling sick.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT06817174Recruiting
