Study for leftover cancer DNA in HER2-positive early breast cancer
This study looks for tiny traces of cancer after treatment by testing blood for “ctDNA,” which is leftover cancer DNA. It includes people with HER2-positive early breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery to see if this blood test can detect signs of remaining disease.
Chuo-ku, TokyoAges 20 years+ - NCT05627674Enrolling by invitation
Help improve lung cancer screening and quitting support uptake
This study tests a “precision” approach to help people who are newly eligible for lung cancer screening actually get screened and start smoking-cessation treatment. If it works, it could make screening and quitting help easier to access and more engaging.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05426668Recruiting
Testing a blood-monitor device during lung cancer immunotherapy
This trial checks whether a device called TheraSure CNI-Monitor can be used while people with advanced lung cancer receive immunotherapy. It aims to improve monitoring during palliative (comfort-focused) treatment.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT05482568RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug SHR-A1811 with two lung cancer medicines
This early-phase trial tests an injectable cancer drug (SHR-A1811) given with either pyrotinib or another targeted drug (SHR-1316) in people with advanced lung cancer. The goal is to see how safe the combination is and how well it can control the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05441566Enrolling by invitation
Checking MRD after surgery in early lung cancer
This study looks at a test called MRD (tiny remaining cancer after treatment) after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to understand who is more likely to have the cancer return, which could help guide follow-up care.
ShenzhenAges 18–100 - NCT05515315RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo then chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding tislelizumab (an immunotherapy drug) to chemotherapy before a combined course of chemotherapy and radiation can better treat locally advanced, non-surgable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It’s for adults who cannot have surgery and may help shrink the cancer and improve control of the disease.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT05528341RecruitingPhase 1
CAR NK cell treatment trial for solid tumor cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (CAR-NK92 cells) for people with solid tumors that have not responded to earlier treatments. The goal is to see how safe it is and whether it can shrink tumors or help control cancer.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05314114Recruiting
Skipping underarm surgery for some breast cancers after chemotherapy
This trial studies whether it’s safe to skip removing underarm lymph nodes (axillary surgery) for people with certain breast cancers after they respond to “NACT,” a type of chemotherapy. It also uses planned breast-conserving surgery and whole-breast radiation to see if outcomes stay similar while reducing surgery-related side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05334004RecruitingPhase 1
Lopinavir/ritonavir for high-grade anal disease in adults
This early-phase study (Phase 1) tests how safe and tolerable the medicine lopinavir/ritonavir is for adults with HIV and biopsy-confirmed high-grade anal dysplasia. It may help find a possible treatment option for people at higher risk, while also checking for side effects and whether the study plan can be followed.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05513716Recruiting
Study of colorectal cancer spread in the belly lining
This study looks at colorectal cancer that has spread to the peritoneum (the lining around the belly) using existing tumor tissue samples. It may help researchers better understand the cancer’s biology and improve future treatments.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT05608148RecruitingPhase 1
GAIA-102 for relapsed or hard-to-treat childhood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests GAIA-102 in children and young adults whose cancer has returned or not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and whether it may shrink tumors in certain pediatric solid cancers.
Fukuoka, FukuokaAges 1–24 - NCT05586256Recruiting
Shorter radiation for early breast cancer after breast surgery
This trial studies giving whole-breast radiation in a shorter, more concentrated way after breast-conserving surgery. It aims to see if this “ultra-short” schedule is effective and safe for people with early breast cancer.
PerugiaAges 18–99 - NCT05314803Recruiting
Yoga program for young adults affected by cancer
This study tests whether yoga can help young adults living with cancer feel better and function more comfortably. You may join even if you’re currently getting treatment or have finished treatment, as long as it’s safe for you to do yoga.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05471856RecruitingPhase 1
Test different doses of cancer drugs with ezabenlimab
This Phase 1 trial tests how different doses of a study drug (BI 1703880) work and how safe they are when given with ezabenlimab for advanced solid tumors. It’s for people whose cancer can’t be removed with surgery and who have tried standard treatments or can’t get them.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05376553Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Test cemiplimab plus chemo before treatment for head and neck cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests cemiplimab (an immune system medicine) given with “induction” chemotherapy before the main treatment for locally advanced squamous cell head and neck cancer. It’s designed to see how well this treatment is tolerated and to learn about immune responses that may help future patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05402033Recruiting
Get financial help when you join a cancer clinical trial
This program helps cover certain costs for people who are enrolled in a cancer treatment clinical trial. It may reduce financial stress while you focus on your care.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT05585710Recruiting
Study pulsed rinse during breast implant reconstruction
This trial tests whether a special “pulsed rinse” technique during implant-based breast reconstruction improves care during surgery. If you’re having immediate expander placement at the time of mastectomy, you may be eligible to try this approach under research oversight.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT05464810RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Letrozole with or without a cholesterol drug for early breast cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding simvastatin to letrozole can improve outcomes in people with stage I–III breast cancer that grows with hormone signals (hormone receptor positive) and does not have HER2. It looks mainly at whether the approach is safe and useful for this specific breast cancer type.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05473624RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug HRS-1167 for advanced cancers that need new options
This early study (Phase 1) tests whether HRS-1167 can be given safely to people with advanced solid tumors. It also looks for early signs of activity, especially in cancers with HRR gene mutations (like ovarian, breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05457699RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation to control prostate cancer spread
This Phase 2 study tests whether a focused form of radiation given after your cancer responds to medicine can help keep metastatic prostate cancer under control. It may help by “consolidating” your current good response, potentially delaying progression.
Montreal, QuebecAges Any age - NCT05298605Recruiting
Church-based program to help Korean women get breast screenings
This trial tests a faith-based (church-based) navigation program meant to help Korean women who have not had recent breast cancer screening get a mammogram. It may help by offering support and guidance through church and study staff.
