Denver, ColoradoAges 18–70 - NCT06940947RecruitingPhase 3
Endoscopy or surgery for early colon cancer
This trial compares a newer, less invasive endoscopic procedure with standard surgery for people who have a small, early-stage colon cancer. The goal is to see if the endoscopic treatment is as effective as surgery while being gentler on the body.
GdanskAges Any age - NCT06940960Recruiting
JY231 cell therapy for relapsed B-cell lymphoma or leukemia
This trial tests a new cell therapy (JY231) for people whose B-cell lymphoma or leukemia (B-ALL) has returned or not responded to earlier treatments. The therapy uses your own T cells, modified to target the CD19 marker on cancer cells.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 12–75 - NCT06941194Recruiting
Preventing wound problems after sarcoma surgery with a special bandage
This trial tests a special negative pressure bandage used after surgery to prevent wound complications in people with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma of the limbs who have had radiation therapy before their operation.
Padova, Italy/PadovaAges 18–99 - NCT06941857RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (NC410 plus chemotherapy and nivolumab, with or without ipilimumab) for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if adding these immunotherapy agents can help shrink or control the tumor.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06941363Recruiting
Salvage radiotherapy for prostate cancer recurrence after surgery
This study tests a very short course of radiation given after prostate surgery, specifically for men whose PSA is rising again. The goal is to see if this approach can safely control the cancer.
Monza, ItalyAges 18–90 - NCT06941584Recruiting
AIRE gene's role in autoimmune nerve diseases
This study looks at how the AIRE gene affects people with autoimmune nerve diseases like NMOSD, myasthenia gravis, and autoimmune encephalitis when they also have other autoimmune conditions. It may help researchers understand why some people get multiple autoimmune problems.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06941727Recruiting
Mouth Opening and Jaw Muscle Elasticity in Oral Cancer
This study looks at how oral cancer treatment affects your ability to open your mouth and the elasticity of your jaw muscles. It may help researchers understand and prevent long-term jaw stiffness.

Study of two drugs for young children with aggressive brain tumors
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (topotecan given into the spine plus maintenance chemo) for children under 6 with high-risk embryonal brain tumors. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes after initial treatment.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Up to 6 years - NCT06942143RecruitingPhase 1
Super1 TCR-T for NY-ESO-1 positive advanced solid tumors
