Tracking hormone side effects from immunotherapy in blood cancer
This study looks at people with certain types of blood cancer (lymphoma or leukemia) who are getting immunotherapy drugs called checkpoint inhibitors. Researchers want to learn how these drugs affect the body's hormone system, so doctors can better manage these side effects.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06851975Recruiting
Blood tests to learn about cancer and treatment
This study collects extra blood samples during your routine care to look for markers that might help predict how well cancer treatments work and how long people live. Participating involves no extra procedures beyond what you already need.

Nutritional supplement study for malnourished pancreatic cancer patients
This trial tests whether a special drink called Peptamen 1.6 can help improve nutrition and recovery in patients who are malnourished or at risk and have had surgery for pancreatic cancer. It aims to understand how the supplement affects the body right after surgery.
Málaga, MálagaAges 18 years+ - NCT06852287RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chemo, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy for bile duct and gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy directly to the liver, a targeted therapy pill, and an immunotherapy drug for people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can shrink or control the cancer.
