This study tests a new radiation approach for people with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, who are too frail for standard surgery. The method uses a special PET scan (FDOPA) to find the most dangerous parts of the tumor and delivers a higher radiation dose only to those …

This study is for adults with advanced head and neck cancer that has returned or spread and no longer responds to standard first-line immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) with or without chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if a combination of three drugs—carboplatin, paclitaxel, and c…

This study is looking for ways to prevent gallbladder cancer, a rare but aggressive disease. Researchers will follow 15,000 people with gallstones or early gallbladder cancer to find genetic and environmental risk factors. The goal is to develop better prevention and early detect…

This study looks at whether a 15-week cycling program can help women with early-stage breast cancer maintain their physical fitness while undergoing chemotherapy. About 156 participants will either do weekly cycling sessions or receive standard care. The goal is to see if the cyc…

This study looks at whether spending time with horses can improve quality of life and reduce anxiety in children and teens (ages 8 to 17) who are receiving radiation therapy for cancer. About 22 participants will take part in horse-assisted therapy sessions. Researchers will meas…

This study looks at whether an early, coordinated care program can help people aged 75 and older with digestive cancer finish their planned chemotherapy or targeted therapy. About 144 participants will be randomly assigned to either the special program or standard care. The main …

This study is testing whether a newer type of scan, called PET/MRI, is better than the standard PET/CT scan at finding cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in people with cervical cancer. About 50 adults with stage IB2 to IVA cervical cancer will get both scans before treatment.…

This study tests whether using a special PET scan (FDOPA-PET) to guide radiation therapy can help people with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. About 54 adults whose tumor has returned after prior radiation will receive targeted radiation based on the PET images…

This study looks at whether a protein called SGLT2 can help predict heart damage in people receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. Researchers will measure SGLT2 levels in blood and cells before and after treatment. The goal is to find better ways to identify who is at risk and…

This study is testing a new MRI technique called CEST that can measure the acidity (pH) inside brain tumors like gliomas and metastases. Researchers will scan 800 patients to see if pH levels can help predict where tumors might come back and how long patients survive. The goal is…

This study looks at how chemotherapy changes the way the body controls blood pressure and exercise in breast cancer patients. Researchers will compare 24 women who finished chemo with healthy women of similar age and fitness. The goal is to understand why exercise becomes harder …
