BarcelonaAges 18–99 - NCT07095023Recruiting
Oral chemo and targeted therapy before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of an oral chemotherapy pill (paclitaxel) with two targeted antibodies (pertuzumab and trastuzumab) given before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06972940Recruiting
Study of a gel to improve temple hollowing in Chinese adults
This trial tests a gel made from polycaprolactone (a safe, dissolvable material) to see if it can safely and effectively fill in hollow temples. It may be an option if you have flat or sunken temples and want a non-surgical treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT03201861RecruitingPhase 3
Cisplatin added after surgery for high-risk breast cancer
This trial checks whether adding cisplatin to standard chemotherapy after surgery helps women with high-risk early-stage breast cancer lower the chance of the cancer coming back. You would be followed to see how well treatment works and whether it is tolerated.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05362760RecruitingPhase 4
Abemaciclib plus hormone therapy, with digital side-effect tracking
This trial tests whether adding abemaciclib to standard hormone (endocrine) therapy can improve outcomes for certain types of advanced breast cancer. It also uses a phone app to help you and the team track side effects so problems can be caught early.
AalenAges 18 years+ - NCT06974552Recruiting
Support surfaces during robotic pelvic surgery
This trial compares different support surfaces for patients having robotic surgery in the lower pelvic area while in a steep head-down position. It aims to see which surface helps prevent skin injuries.
Istanbul, AtaşehirAges Any age - NCT06974474RecruitingPhase 4
Guselkumab for pain in psoriatic arthritis
This study tests if guselkumab can reduce pain and inflammation in people with psoriatic arthritis. You may join if standard treatments have not worked well enough or caused side effects.
Rome, ItalyAges 18–80 - NCT07084558Recruiting
Testing treatment guided by tumor DNA for hormone positive breast cancer
This trial tests whether using a blood test (circulating tumor DNA) can help guide chemo and hormone therapy for early-stage, hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative breast cancer. The goal is to tailor treatment to your tumor's response, potentially reducing unnecessary side effects.
Vienna, AustriaAges 18–100 - NCT07085104RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ALLO-329 for lupus, myositis, or scleroderma
This trial tests a new one-time cell therapy (ALLO-329) made from donor cells to target and calm overactive immune cells in people with lupus, myositis, or scleroderma that hasn't improved with usual medications. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can help reduce disease activity.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–74 - NCT07080931RecruitingPhase 3
Minoxidil foam for female hair loss
This trial tests a 5% minoxidil foam to treat female pattern hair loss. It may help women who have been diagnosed with this condition and have mild to moderate hair thinning.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07079774Recruiting
Study of TrueLok Elevate for leg ulcers
This trial tests a device called TrueLok Elevate to help heal long-lasting leg ulcers that have not improved with other treatments. It may be a good option if you have a chronic lower leg wound that has been present for at least 3 months.
HalleAges 18 years+ - NCT07081555RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new radioactive drug for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, [177Lu]Lu-ABY-271, to see how safe it is and where it goes in the body. It is for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07078461Recruiting
Laser treatment for keratosis pilaris on arms
This study tests a special laser (1927-nm thulium) to see if it safely reduces the rough bumps of keratosis pilaris on both upper arms. If you have KP on your arms and haven't had laser or radiation there recently, you may be able to join.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07080463Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Testing mixed reality guidance for DIEP flap breast reconstruction
This study tests a new technology called VascuLens 2.0, which uses mixed reality (like a see-through headset) to help surgeons guide your DIEP flap breast reconstruction. It aims to make surgery more precise and potentially safer by overlaying your CT scan images onto your body during the operation.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT07080476Recruiting
Kinesio taping for chronic swelling after breast cancer
This trial tests whether Kinesio taping, a special type of elastic tape, can reduce long-term swelling in the breast or upper body (trunk) after breast cancer treatment. If you have had breast cancer and still have swelling lasting more than six months, this study may help find a new way to manage that swelling.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07081074Recruiting
Preventing radiation skin damage in head and neck cancer
This trial tests a special lipid that may protect the skin from radiation damage during treatment for head and neck cancer. If it works, it could help prevent or treat the painful skin irritation that often occurs with radiation therapy.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07075679Recruiting
AI vs double reading for breast cancer screening
This study compares a single radiologist reading your mammogram with help from artificial intelligence (AI) to the standard method of two radiologists reading it. The goal is to see if AI-assisted reading is just as good at finding cancer while saving time and resources.
OlomoucAges 45–69 - NCT07078669Enrolling by invitation
Dyed vs. undyed stitches in skin surgery
This trial compares two types of stitches (dyed vs. undyed) used during skin surgery. It aims to see if one type works better for healing or scarring.
Waynesburg, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07076147Recruiting
Breast cancer screening follow-up for moderate-risk women
This study looks at how well women with a moderate risk of breast cancer follow their screening recommendations (like yearly MRI or mammogram). It may help women who have certain genetic variants or a higher calculated risk stay on top of their breast health.
