Exercise to reduce symptoms in melanoma patients
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program can help reduce symptoms like fatigue and improve well-being in people with advanced melanoma who are already on immunotherapy or targeted therapy. You would visit the study hospital for training sessions and check-ups.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT06985485RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for older or frail B-ALL patients
This trial tests a full course of immunotherapy (drugs that help your immune system fight cancer) instead of intensive chemotherapy for people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who are older or cannot tolerate strong chemo. It aims to offer an effective, less toxic option.

Study of MRI for prostate cancer screening
This study tests a new MRI platform to better identify prostate issues before a biopsy. It is for people with elevated PSA whose doctor is considering a biopsy.
Rochester, New YorkAges 40–90 - NCT06986083RecruitingPhase 3
Testing changes in prostate biopsy and ablation care
This study looks at two ways to improve prostate procedures: 1) whether adding local anesthesia during a biopsy (while you’re already sedated) makes a difference, and 2) whether a standard care plan before and after focal gland ablation helps recovery compared to usual care.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06986174RecruitingPhase 2
Pacritinib for relapsed or refractory Waldenström macroglobulinemia
This trial tests a pill called pacritinib for people with Waldenström macroglobulinemia that has come back or stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if pacritinib can help control the disease by blocking certain proteins that cancer cells need to grow.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06986304Recruiting
Super-Resolution Ultrasound for Bladder Cancer
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to take detailed pictures of the tiny blood vessels around bladder cancer. The goal is to help doctors better understand the cancer before surgery to remove the bladder.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06986486Recruiting
Liver transplant for perihilar bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether a liver transplant can help people with a specific type of bile duct cancer (perihilar) that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to offer a potential cure for those whose tumor is small and hasn't spread.
Milan, MichiganAges 18–70 - NCT06987045Recruiting
PSA levels in trans and non-binary people with a prostate
This study aims to find normal PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels for trans and non-binary people who have a prostate and are on hormone therapy or have had certain surgeries. Your participation could help improve future cancer screening guidelines for your community.
LondonAges 40–100 - NCT06987500RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an experimental drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called XNW29016 for people with advanced cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06987734RecruitingPhase 2
Sugemalimab plus chemo before and after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if adding the immunotherapy drug sugemalimab to standard chemotherapy before and after surgery can help people with stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this combination reduces the chance of cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06987916RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing new immune cell therapy for B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new immune cell treatment (called U01 or ssCART-19) for people with B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the therapy is safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 2–75 - NCT06988020Recruiting
Using MRI to find bone lesions in multiple myeloma
This study tests a new way to make MRI scans look like CT scans to find bone damage from multiple myeloma. You may join if you have just been diagnosed or if your disease came back after strong treatments, and you need bone imaging for staging.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06988059RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Car T-cell therapy for plasma cell leukemia
This trial tests a new Car T-cell treatment called CT0596 for patients with plasma cell leukemia, a rare and aggressive blood cancer. It aims to see if this therapy can help control the disease in patients who have already tried other treatments.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06988280Recruiting
Draining pelvic cysts through the vagina with ultrasound
This trial drains fluid-filled cysts in the pelvis (like ovarian cysts or abscesses) through the vagina using an ultrasound to guide the needle. It aims to relieve pain and symptoms, especially when surgery or cure isn't an option.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06988488RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of mezigdomide plus elranatamab for relapsed multiple myeloma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, mezigdomide (a pill) and elranatamab (an injection), for people whose multiple myeloma has returned or stopped responding to prior treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if the combination is safe and effective.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06988475RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Capmatinib for cancers with MET gene changes
This study tests an oral drug called capmatinib for people whose cancers have specific changes in the MET gene (except for one type of lung cancer). It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
BelfastAges 18 years+ - NCT06988579Recruiting
AI-assisted lung cancer screening study
This trial tests whether using AI to help radiologists read lung CT scans can find cancer earlier and lower healthcare costs. You may qualify if you are at risk for lung cancer and have not been screened recently.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–74 - NCT06988774Recruiting
Checking fallopian tube openness during fibroid surgery
This study checks if blue dye can safely travel through your fallopian tubes during a fibroid-removal surgery. It helps doctors understand if the fallopian tubes are open (not blocked) while you are already having a procedure to remove fibroids.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06988696Recruiting
Heated socks during bladder tumor surgery to prevent hypothermia
This study tests whether wearing heated socks during bladder tumor surgery helps keep your body temperature stable and your vital signs normal. Patients who are comfortable with heated socks and meet other health criteria may join.
