Tumor samples grown in dishes to predict immunotherapy response
This study takes small biopsy samples of your lung cancer and grows them in a dish to predict how well immunotherapy will work. If you qualify, you’ll receive standard immunotherapy (anti-PD-1/L1, with or without anti-CTLA-4), and the results from the dish-grown tumors will be compared to your real-world response.
Fairway, KansasAges 18–110 - NCT07860528Recruiting
High-dose brachytherapy for prostate cancer that has returned
This trial tests a type of radiation therapy called high-dose-rate brachytherapy, which is given to men whose prostate cancer has come back after their first treatment. It aims to control the cancer while keeping side effects low.
Benidorm, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT07855627Recruiting
Predicting lymphedema risk before surgery
This study looks at whether a simple measurement taken before surgery can help predict if you might develop lymphedema (arm swelling) after treatment. It is for women with newly diagnosed inflammatory breast cancer who are planning to have standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07856732RecruitingPhase 1
Silver dressing for head and neck cancer patients with tracheostomy
This study tests a special silver dressing called Silverlon for people with head and neck cancer who have a tracheostomy. The dressing may help prevent infections and improve healing around the tracheostomy site.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04810871Recruiting
Surgery for brain tumors that may come back
This study tests whether removing a brain tumor early, before it shows signs of growing back, can help prevent a recurrence. If you have had treatment before and there is still some tumor left, you may be able to join.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05062837RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Surgery plus two drugs for advanced liver cancer
This trial combines surgery to remove liver tumors with two drugs, camrelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and apatinib (a targeted therapy that may cut off the tumor's blood supply). It aims to see if this combination helps people with advanced liver cancer that has spread outside the liver (but not to the brain) and who have chosen not to have other standard treatments like TACE or radiation. Participating could potentially control the spreading cancer and improve outcomes.
NanningAges 18–75 - NCT06151262RecruitingPhase 2
Trilaciclib plus mFOLFIRINOX for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug, trilaciclib, combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have not yet had treatment. The goal is to see if adding trilaciclib can help reduce side effects and improve how well the treatment works.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06228963RecruitingPhase 2
Orelabrutinib for H. pylori-positive gastric MALT lymphoma
This trial tests a targeted drug called orelabrutinib for people with a specific type of stomach lymphoma that is linked to an active H. pylori infection. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink or control the lymphoma.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05495048Recruiting
Transvaginal surgery vs standard laparoscopy for right colon removal
This study compares two surgical approaches for removing the right side of the colon in certain women with colon cancer or a high-risk pre-cancer. It aims to see whether the less invasive transvaginal approach can be done safely and work as well as standard laparoscopic surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06270043Recruiting
Focal therapy study for early-stage prostate cancer
This study is tracking men who choose focal therapy (a targeted treatment) for their localized prostate cancer. It aims to learn how well this treatment works and how it affects quality of life.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06230445RecruitingPhase 3
Digital health app for lung cancer management
This trial tests a digital health app to help manage the entire treatment process for lung cancer. It may assist patients who are already undergoing or have completed treatments like surgery or chemotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06271421Recruiting
Nanoparticle heat therapy for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment for recurrent glioblastoma using tiny magnetic particles (nanoparticles) that are heated to kill cancer cells. The particles are injected into the tumor, and then a magnetic field device heats them up. It's for people who have already tried standard therapy and whose tumor has come back.
PoznanAges 18 years+ - NCT06278506Recruiting
Comparing surgery versus ablation for small kidney tumors
This trial compares two standard treatments for small kidney tumors: removing the tumor surgically (resection) or destroying it with heat or cold (ablation). The goal is to see which approach works better for tumors 3 cm or smaller.
