Nanocrystalline megestrol acetate with chemoradiation for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a newer form of megestrol acetate (a medication that can help with appetite and weight) given alongside standard chemotherapy and radiation for locally advanced cervical cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The study aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06998758RecruitingPhase 3
Megestrol Acetate for weight loss during chemo in advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests if taking megestrol acetate (a medicine used to stimulate appetite and help gain weight) can reduce weight loss caused by chemotherapy in people with locally advanced colorectal cancer. It may help you maintain strength and energy during treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07243379RecruitingPhase 4
Studying nanocrystalline megestrol acetate for weight loss in cancer
This study tests a special form of the drug megestrol acetate (Megace) in cancer patients who have lost weight and appetite (cachexia). It aims to see if this medication can help improve weight gain and quality of life.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–85 - NCT07408505Recruiting
New appetite drug for weight loss in advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new form of a drug (nano-megestrol acetate) to help people with advanced pancreatic cancer who are losing weight and have poor appetite. It aims to see if it can improve cachexia, a condition of severe weight loss and muscle wasting.
JinanAges 18–75 - NCT07543536RecruitingPhase 3
Megestrol Acetate for Fatigue in HER2+ Breast Cancer
This study tests whether a medication called megestrol acetate can help reduce severe tiredness and fatigue in people with advanced breast cancer who are receiving a targeted therapy called T-DXd (trastuzumab deruxtecan). Fatigue is a common side effect that can really impact quality of life.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07150663RecruitingPhase 3
Megestrol acetate with chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This study tests whether a special form of megestrol acetate (a medicine used to help with weight and appetite) can improve outcomes when given alongside standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer. It is for patients who are not overweight and who are not already using other appetite-boosting medications.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–85 - NCT06940102Recruiting
A study on megestrol acetate for weight loss in advanced digestive cancer
This study tests a special form of megestrol acetate (a medicine that can help with appetite and weight gain) in people with advanced digestive system cancers who are about to start or are already taking a type of targeted therapy called a TKI. The goal is to see if it helps with cancer-related weight loss and wasting (cachexia).

Personalized after-surgery treatment for endometrial cancer by tumor type
This trial studies which after-surgery (adjuvant) treatment works best when endometrial cancer is classified by specific tumor DNA/molecular features. You may be offered treatment based on the tumor results, aiming to improve outcomes and lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
TorontoAges 18 years+ - NCT06549855Recruiting
PD-1 inhibitor plus progesterone for fertility preservation in MMRd endometrial cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) and progesterone hormone therapy to treat early-stage, MMR-deficient endometrial cancer while preserving fertility. It may help young women who want to keep the option to have children in the future.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT07319429RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Fertility-sparing treatment for endometrial cancer based on molecular type
This trial tests a tailored approach to preserve fertility in women with early-stage endometrial cancer, using medications like hormones and immunotherapy based on the tumor's molecular subtype. It aims to avoid hysterectomy and keep the uterus intact.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT06979596RecruitingPhase 2
A study of MK-5684 for certain solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug called MK-5684 for people with specific types of breast, ovarian, or endometrial cancer. It aims to see if this treatment can help shrink or control the cancer when standard treatments have stopped working or are no longer effective.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT05247268RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy to shrink early uterine cancer in young women

Weight-loss and progesterone treatments for early uterine lining disease
This trial studies a weight-management approach plus a progesterone-releasing IUD (LNG-IUS) and megestrol to treat endometrial atypical hyperplasia, a high-risk precancer of the uterine lining. It may help shrink or control the abnormal cells while supporting fertility or keeping the uterus.
ShanghaiAges 18–45 - NCT05913427RecruitingPhase 2
Progesterone added to chemo for adrenal cancer that spread
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding progesterone to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) that is locally advanced or has spread and cannot be removed with surgery. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and tolerable.
BresciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06417736Recruiting
Study on Endometrial Cancer and Precancer in Young Women
This study tests whether certain treatments can help women aged 18-45 with early-stage endometrial cancer or precancerous changes keep their ability to have children. It uses imaging scans to make sure the cancer hasn't spread.
