Study of QN-302 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called QN-302 in people with advanced solid tumors that have grown despite standard treatments or for which no standard therapy exists. The goal is to see if it is safe and how the body processes it.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05987475Recruiting
10-year study of breast implants for reconstruction or cosmetic surgery
This study follows women who receive Euromi Biosciences silicone gel breast implants during either breast reconstruction after mastectomy or cosmetic breast surgery. It aims to see how the implants perform over 10 years.
NancyAges 18–60 - NCT05888571Recruiting
Testing pre-chest breast reconstruction with or without mesh
This study looks at whether adding mesh (a supportive material) improves results in breast reconstruction placed in front of the chest. It may help some people heal better and get a more comfortable shape, but it depends on your surgery plan and health factors.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT05864274Recruiting
Cognitive training for people on chemotherapy
This trial studies a phone or tablet brain-training program to help with “cancer-related cognitive impairment,” or thinking and memory problems that can happen during chemotherapy. If you’re newly diagnosed with certain gynecologic cancers and are receiving chemotherapy, this may help you see whether the training improves cognitive symptoms.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–90 - NCT05817370Recruiting
Training to improve anal cancer screening and care in Nigeria
This trial focuses on implementing anal cancer screening and treatment in Nigeria by working with trained medical professionals. If you meet the professional and community-experience requirements, it may help improve access to screening and care for people at higher risk, including sexual and gender minority communities.
AbujaAges Any age - NCT05690802Recruiting
Test palonosetron to prevent nausea from chemotherapy
This trial studies whether palonosetron helps prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy that has a moderate risk of vomiting. It may help you feel more comfortable during chemo and avoid treatment interruptions from severe nausea.
Xi'an, Shaan'xiAges 18–75 - NCT05600686RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment plan for high-risk aggressive lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment sequence for people with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that includes loncastuximab plus rituximab, then DA-EPOCH-R. It aims to improve responses in patients whose lymphoma has specific high-risk features.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05440760Recruiting
Virtual reality during brachytherapy to improve patient care
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during a type of internal radiation treatment for certain gynecologic cancers can improve your experience and quality of care. You may wear a VR headset while receiving brachytherapy, and your comfort and ability to follow the treatment plan will be checked.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05424159Recruiting
Carbon ion radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation that uses carbon ions to treat pancreatic cancer that can’t be removed with surgery but has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink or control the tumor while limiting radiation side effects to nearby organs.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT05306041RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery hormone therapy with or without PI3K inhibitor
This trial tests whether giving hormone-blocking treatment before surgery works better when combined with an added targeted drug for certain breast cancers. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for people whose tumors have specific hormone and genetic features.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05303714RecruitingPhase 3
PIPAC plus chemo for limited peritoneal stomach cancer
This trial tests a treatment called PIPAC (medicine delivered into the abdomen through a small scope) along with “multimodal” therapy, including chemotherapy, for stomach cancer that has spread only in the lining of the abdomen in limited amounts. It may help control the cancer and prevent progression after surgery.
VeronaAges 18–75 - NCT05280353Recruiting
Glubran 2 glue during breast lymph node surgery
This study looks at using a special medical glue (Glubran 2) to help during axillary lymph node surgery in people having breast cancer surgery. It may reduce how much fluid leaks after surgery and improve healing, but you would be checked carefully to see if you’re a good match for the trial.
