This phase III trial is testing whether a precise, high-dose radiation technique called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is better at preserving memory and thinking than the current standard of whole brain radiation that avoids the hippocampus (the brain's memory center) plus a dr…

This phase II trial is testing whether newer targeted drugs (trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab deruxtecan) work better than standard chemotherapy plus trastuzumab for people with HER2-positive or HER2-low salivary gland cancer that has come back, spread, or cannot be removed.…

This phase III trial compares radiation therapy to simple observation in patients who have had a grade II meningioma completely removed by surgery. The goal is to see if radiation helps keep the tumor from coming back. About 163 participants will be randomly assigned to either re…

This phase III trial tests whether proton craniospinal irradiation (pCSI) can improve survival compared to standard involved-field radiation therapy (IFRT) for patients with breast or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeni…

This phase III trial tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation can help people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer live longer. Participants must have already had 4-6 months of chemotherapy. The study compares higher-dose radiation to standard care (more chemo, observat…

This study compares a new, shorter radiation treatment (5 sessions over 2 weeks) to the standard longer course (20-45 sessions over 4-9 weeks) for men with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if the shorter approach works just as well at preventing the cancer from sprea…

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding a precise, high-dose radiation treatment (SBRT) to standard chemoradiation and immunotherapy improves survival for people with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. About 474 participants will be ran…

This Phase III trial tests whether giving radiation in three smaller doses (FSRS) works better than a single large dose (SRS) for cancer that has spread to the brain. About 269 adults with lung, breast, melanoma, kidney, or gastrointestinal cancers will be randomly assigned to on…

This phase II trial tests whether adding precise, high-dose radiation (SABR) to the main kidney tumor improves outcomes for people with metastatic kidney cancer that cannot be surgically removed. Participants receive standard immunotherapy drugs (avelumab, axitinib, or cabozantin…

This study compares two radiation techniques for people with stage I to IVA esophageal cancer: proton beam therapy (which uses protons) and intensity modulated photon radiotherapy (which uses X-rays). The goal is to see which one works better at helping people live longer and cau…

This study tests whether a less invasive surgery called sentinel lymph node biopsy can replace standard neck dissection for early-stage oral cavity cancer. About 686 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal is to see if the gentler approach mainta…

This phase 3 trial is for people with advanced liver cancer that has spread to nearby blood vessels. It compares standard immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) alone versus the same drugs plus targeted radiation (SBRT). The goal is to see if adding radiation helps pa…

This study is for people with stage III colon cancer who have had surgery. It uses a blood test called Signatera to look for leftover cancer DNA. Depending on the results, patients get either immediate or delayed chemotherapy, and the type and length of chemo are tailored to thei…

This study looks at whether adding chemotherapy to standard hormone therapy (which suppresses ovarian function) can better prevent breast cancer from coming back in premenopausal women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. About 3,960 participants will be randomly as…

This study compares two radiation schedules for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who also receive chemotherapy. One group gets the usual number of radiation treatments, while the other gets fewer, higher-dose sessions. The goal is to see if the shorter course works just…

This phase III trial is testing whether women with stage I, hormone-sensitive, HER2-negative breast cancer can safely skip radiation after lumpectomy and just take hormone therapy for at least 5 years. The study will enroll 1,670 participants and compare cancer recurrence rates b…

This phase 3 trial tests whether taking the drug olaparib for one year works as well as taking it for two years to keep ovarian cancer from coming back. The study includes 880 people with advanced ovarian cancer (stage III or IV) who have a BRCA mutation or similar DNA repair pro…

This study looks at whether people who have had 1 or 2 small, non-cancerous polyps removed can safely wait 10 years for their next colonoscopy instead of the usual 5 years. About 9,500 adults aged 45-69 will be randomly assigned to one of two schedules: a colonoscopy at 5 and 10 …

This study looks at two surgeries to reduce ovarian cancer risk in women with BRCA1 gene changes. One surgery removes only the fallopian tubes, while the other removes both tubes and ovaries. Researchers want to see if removing just the tubes works nearly as well at preventing ca…

This study tests whether regular phone check-ins and counseling can help people on oral cancer drugs feel better and avoid hospital visits. 600 patients will be assigned to symptom monitoring alone, or monitoring plus a self-help handbook and phone counseling for anxiety or sadne…

This phase II trial tests whether adding BMX-001 to standard symptom management can reduce severe mouth sores in head and neck cancer patients receiving chemoradiation. About 98 participants will receive either BMX-001 or a placebo alongside usual care. The goal is to see if BMX-…

This study tests two digital mindfulness programs—one live over Zoom and one self-paced app—to see if they can reduce depression in younger breast cancer survivors. It includes 402 women diagnosed at or before age 50 who finished cancer treatment at least 6 months ago and have el…

This study tests whether computer-based brain-training games can improve memory, focus, and thinking in breast cancer survivors who report cognitive problems (often called 'chemo brain'). About 386 survivors will be randomly assigned to play either specially designed neuroplastic…

This study tests whether a less invasive lymph node procedure (sentinel mapping) can lower the risk of long-term leg swelling compared to standard lymph node removal. About 428 women with stage I endometrial cancer will be followed for 18 months after hysterectomy. The goal is to…
