Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06912711RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo before and after surgery for recurrent nasal cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy before and after surgery for people whose nasal cancer has come back. The goal is to see if this approach helps remove the cancer more effectively and prevents it from returning again.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06913244Recruiting
Long-term physical therapy for breast cancer survivors
This trial tests whether a long-term physical therapy program can help women who have finished breast cancer treatment but still have pain, arm problems, or fatigue. It aims to improve your quality of life during survivorship.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06913296Recruiting
Testing PTeye for parathyroid adenoma surgery
This study tests a device called PTeye, which helps doctors find parathyroid adenomas during surgery more precisely. It may reduce the need for more tests or repeat surgeries.
ThessalonikiAges 18 years+ - NCT06913335Recruiting
Comparing heat vs. sealant for bleeding during ovarian cyst removal
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to remove benign ovarian cysts: one uses heat (electrosurgery) and the other uses a special sealant. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective, which could help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–50 - NCT06914037RecruitingPhase 1
CHT101 for CD70-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug, CHT101, for people with certain blood cancers that have not responded to prior treatments. It is specifically for cancers that test positive for a protein called CD70.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06914245Recruiting
Personalized help for bowel symptoms after rectal cancer treatment
This trial studies how to improve bowel symptoms in people treated for rectal cancer. It tests personalized care plans and looks at different factors that may contribute to bowel problems after surgery or a watch-and-wait approach.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06914297RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TQB2450 plus progestin for uterine cancer patients wanting to keep fertility
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (TQB2450) with a hormone treatment (progestin) for patients with a specific type of early-stage uterine cancer who wish to preserve their ability to have children. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT06914349Recruiting
Comparing two ways to reconnect the stomach after Whipple surgery
This trial compares two common surgical techniques for reconnecting the stomach and small intestine during a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) to see if one leads to fewer complications. It may help surgeons choose the best approach for you.
LarissaAges 18–80 - NCT06914479RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy and valacyclovir for recurrent brain tumors in young people
This trial tests a new gene therapy that uses two special viruses and an oral antiviral drug (valacyclovir) to treat brain tumors that have come back in children and young adults. The therapy is given right after surgery to remove the tumor, with the goal of helping your immune system fight the cancer.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 3–39 - NCT06914544Recruiting
Hypofractionated radiosurgery for localized prostate cancer
This trial tests a short course of high-dose radiation therapy (radiosurgery) for prostate cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to treat the cancer with fewer sessions while keeping side effects low.
Frankfurt am Main, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT06914635Recruiting
Immunotherapy hub study for liver tumor patients
This trial is checking how the immune system works in people with primary liver cancer, looking at ways to prevent infections and manage the tumor. It is an observational study—meaning no new treatments are given—so it helps doctors learn more without adding extra medications.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18–90 - NCT06914648Recruiting
Liver preparation before surgery study for certain liver cancers
This study tests a procedure called portal vein embolization (PVE) to help grow the healthy part of the liver before surgery. It may be an option for people with certain liver cancers who need more healthy liver tissue before their operation.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06914674RecruitingPhase 2
Tamoxifen for advanced pancreatic SPTP
This trial tests whether tamoxifen, a hormone therapy drug, can shrink or slow down advanced solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPTP) that have estrogen and progesterone receptors. It may be an option for people whose tumors cannot be removed by surgery or have come back after other treatments.
ShanghaiAges 14–80 - NCT06914999RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing a new scan to standard scan during head and neck cancer radiation
This trial is testing whether a newer type of PET/CT scan (F-18 NaF) can better detect blood vessel problems caused by radiation therapy than the standard scan (F-18 FDG) in people with head and neck cancer. If successful, it could lead to better ways to prevent and manage these complications.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06915168Recruiting
Nerve symptom decision aid for breast cancer patients
This study tests a decision aid tool that helps people with breast cancer and nerve-related side effects from chemotherapy (like numbness or tingling) make better choices about their treatment.

You may be eligible if you have Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, have responded well to treatment, and are healthy enough for a transplant.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06915454Recruiting

Gastric cancer: predicting immune therapy side effects
This trial studies whether blood tests before treatment can predict side effects from immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) in people with gastric cancer. If you are about to start this type of treatment, your participation could help doctors manage side effects better.
Xining, QinghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06915649Recruiting
Understanding a specific brain surgery's results
This trial looks at the results of a specific type of brain surgery (amygdalo-hippocampectomy) done by Professor Coubes. It helps doctors better understand how the surgery works and how it affects patients.
