This study tests a drug called azenosertib in 25 women with a rare and aggressive type of uterine cancer that has come back or not gone away. The goal is to see how the drug affects cancer cells and whether it can shrink tumors or slow the disease. Participants take the drug and …

This study tests whether using MRI scans to guide brachytherapy (a type of internal radiation) can better target tumors in gynecologic cancers like cervical, uterine, vaginal, vulvar, and bladder cancers. The goal is to see if MRI guidance reduces radiation exposure to nearby hea…

This early-phase study tests a new drug called zanzalintinib combined with standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel) in people with recurrent high-grade uterine or endometrial cancer. The main goal is to find the safest and most effective dose of the combination. About 36 participants w…

This study tests a drug called belzutifan in people with a rare, hard-to-treat type of gynecologic cancer called clear cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. About 32 participants will receive the drug, and researchers will mon…

This study is working on a new, non-invasive test to help rule out uterine cancer in women aged 45 and older who have abnormal bleeding. Researchers will collect samples from 4,500 women to see how well the test detects cancer and identifies benign cases. If successful, it could …

This study looks at whether the things people buy at stores—like pain relievers or digestive aids—could be early warning signs of cancer. Researchers will compare the shopping habits of 2900 people, some diagnosed with cancer and some not, to see if certain purchases happen more …

This study is testing a precise type of radiation (proton beam) given to the pelvis after surgery for cervical, uterine, or endometrial cancer. The goal is to see if it causes fewer bowel side effects than standard radiation. About 25 adults who need pelvic radiation after surger…

This study tests a personalized physical activity program for women over 60 with gynecologic cancers who are receiving chemotherapy or other systemic treatments. The program includes a wearable activity tracker and a smartphone app, plus optional features like an exercise partner…

This study tests whether a high-protein nutrition plan combined with resistance exercises, started weeks before surgery and continued for 24 weeks after, can help older adults with cancer preserve their physical function. The trial enrolls Veterans aged 55 and older with certain …

This study looks at whether alternate day fasting (eating very little every other day) before chemotherapy can help reduce side effects and improve quality of life for women with ovarian, endometrial, or uterine cancer. About 30 women who have had surgery and are about to start c…

This study looks at whether adding pelvic floor physical therapy before standard radiation treatment can help reduce pain and sexual problems in women with cervical, vaginal, vulvar, uterine, or anal cancer. About 20 participants will receive education on using a vaginal dilator …

This study explores whether acupuncture can reduce nerve pain and numbness caused by chemotherapy in people with gynecologic, urologic, or rectal cancers. About 75 participants will be randomly assigned to receive real acupuncture, sham acupuncture, or usual care for 6 weeks. The…

This study tests whether a mobile cognitive training app can reduce 'chemobrain'—memory and thinking problems caused by chemotherapy—in people with gynecologic cancers. Sixty-four participants will use the app on their own phones while undergoing chemotherapy and complete thinkin…

This study investigates clonal hematopoiesis (CH) — small mutations in blood cells that can arise naturally or after cancer treatment — in adults receiving chemotherapy or radiation for solid tumors like breast, lung, or colorectal cancer. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, …

This study is observing 300 women with female sexual organs who are receiving radiotherapy for certain cancers. Researchers want to understand why some patients have more sexual side effects than others. They will track sexual quality of life and look at radiation doses to find p…

This study is testing a special PET scan (FES PET/CT) to see how active estrogen receptors are in uterine cancer that has spread or returned. About 30 women with this type of cancer will get the scan before starting a new treatment. The results won't change their treatment plan b…

This study tests a new tool called TRTRM that predicts which older cancer patients are at high risk for severe side effects from treatment. Researchers will use the tool to adjust drug doses and monitoring for patients aged 65 and older with solid tumors. The goal is to see if th…

This early study at Duke University is testing whether combining transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images with MRI scans can help doctors guide needles more accurately during brachytherapy for uterine cancer. The researchers will enroll 17 adults with uterine or cervical cancer who a…

This study collects blood and leftover tissue samples from 9,600 people with various cancers, including breast, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Researchers will use these samples to improve tests that look for cancer DNA in the blood. The goal is to better detect if cancer returns o…

This study compares two common risk assessment tools—the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and the POSSUM score—to see which better predicts complications in women undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancers. Researchers will track complications, hospital stay length, and 30-day de…
