This phase 3 trial compares a four-drug combination (daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) against a three-drug regimen (daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) in 1,450 people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not candidates for early stem c…

This study compares two treatments after surgery for stage III-IVA head and neck cancer: radiation alone versus radiation plus the chemotherapy drug cisplatin. The goal is to see which approach better prevents the cancer from returning, especially in patients with certain TP53 ge…

This study tests a system called CONCURxP that uses a smart pill dispenser (WiseBag) and text message reminders to help people with metastatic breast cancer take their CDK4/6 inhibitor pills as prescribed. About 410 patients will be split into two groups: one gets the full system…

This phase 3 trial is testing whether adding a chemotherapy pump that delivers drugs directly to the liver (hepatic arterial infusion, or HAI) can help people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and cannot be removed by surgery. About 408 participants will receive…

This Phase III trial is testing whether using PET scans to guide treatment can help men whose prostate cancer has returned after surgery. For those without signs of spread outside the pelvis, researchers are adding a drug called apalutamide (plus other hormones) to standard radia…

This study tests whether adding daratumumab to standard lenalidomide and dexamethasone can improve survival in people with high-risk smoldering myeloma, a condition that often progresses to active cancer. About 288 participants will receive either the standard two-drug regimen or…

This phase III trial is for people with a specific type of thyroid cancer (BRAF V600E-mutated) that doesn't respond to radioactive iodine. It compares two treatment options: a combination of dabrafenib and trametinib versus cabozantinib alone. The goal is to see which is safer an…

This study tests whether giving the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdominal cavity, along with standard intravenous chemo, can help people with stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. About 148 adults with this condition will be randomly assi…

This study tests whether giving chemotherapy before surgery and radiation can help preserve the eye and skull base in people with advanced nasal and sinus cancer. About 82 participants will either get chemo first or go straight to surgery and radiation. The goal is to see if the …

This study tests a program called CostCOM that helps cancer patients with the high costs of treatment. Many patients skip or delay care because of money worries. The program provides financial advice and connects patients to resources. Researchers want to see if it helps patients…

This phase II trial is testing whether advanced imaging techniques like DSC-MRI and PET scans can better distinguish actual tumor growth from treatment-related changes in people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The study will enroll 100 adults who are receiving standard treatme…

This study compares two ways of monitoring pancreatic cysts—more frequent versus less frequent scans—and looks for biomarkers in the blood that might help predict cancer risk. About 770 adults aged 50 to 75 with at least one cyst will take part. The goal is to find out which moni…

This study examines how social and genetic factors influence long-term health in 2000 adolescent and young adult survivors of Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Researchers will collect blood samples and health information to identify risks for disease recurrence, other illnesses, …
