Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, susceptibility to, 1

This phase 2 trial tests a drug called VK-2019 in 13 patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread and has no standard treatment. VK-2019 works by blocking a key viral protein, EBNA1, which the virus needs to survive. The main g…

This early-phase study tests whether a personalized immune cell therapy (dendritic cells) is safe and can help control advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells and donor cell secretions to boost the body's cancer fight. The study involves …

This early-phase trial is testing a new type of cell therapy called P-MUC1C-ALLO1 for people with advanced solid tumors (like breast, ovarian, lung, or pancreatic cancer) that have not responded to other treatments. The therapy uses donor immune cells engineered to recognize and …

This study tests a two-year follow-up program for 200 adults with hereditary cancer syndromes like BRCA or Lynch syndrome. Participants get personalized care plans and regular check-ins with a genetics doctor to help them follow cancer prevention and screening guidelines. The goa…

This study tests a treatment plan for people with stage IVA nasopharyngeal cancer (a type of nose and throat cancer). Participants receive a combination of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab and chemotherapy before and during radiation, followed by maintenance pembrolizumab for…

This study is developing a blood test to find early-stage tumors in people with hereditary cancer syndromes (high genetic risk for cancer). Researchers will collect blood samples and medical data from about 1,400 participants across Canada. They will also interview patients and d…

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset during PICC line placement can reduce anxiety and pain in cancer patients. About 120 adults will be randomly assigned to either receive VR plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is to see if this non-drug appro…

This study is creating a web-based program to help people with hereditary cancer mutations share their genetic test results with family members. The goal is to increase awareness among at-risk relatives so they can take steps to prevent cancer. The program is designed for patient…

This study looks at whether short educational videos can help people with inherited cancer gene mutations learn more about their condition. About 43 adults who carry mutations in genes like BRCA1 or BRCA2 will watch the videos and then take a quiz. The goal is to see if this simp…

This study tests two simple, scalable methods to help people with inherited cancer risk follow through on recommended screenings. Researchers will provide online educational resources and personalized phone outreach to 900 participants. The goal is to see if these approaches impr…

This study is testing a chatbot and online portal called AYA-RISE to help adolescents and young adults (ages 12-24) who have genetic conditions that raise their cancer risk. The goal is to see if the tool helps them communicate with family and doctors and make informed decisions …

This study looks at the complete DNA and RNA of 10 people and their families who are at high risk for hereditary cancer but have no known genetic cause. Researchers will use whole genome sequencing and tumor analysis to discover new genetic changes that may lead to cancer. The go…

The IMPACT Study is testing two online tools—GeneSHARE and LivingLabReport—to help people with inherited cancer gene variants share their results with family members and follow cancer screening guidelines. The study involves 720 adults who have a genetic variant linked to cancers…

This study aimed to see if a rapid whole genome sequencing test on amniotic fluid could give faster genetic diagnoses for fetuses with suspected genetic diseases. Researchers planned to compare results from amniotic fluid and blood samples from up to 90 families. However, the stu…
