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 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 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 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 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 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 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…

Researchers are testing whether sulforaphane, a substance found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, can prevent melanoma in people who have multiple atypical moles and a prior history of melanoma. Participants take sulforaphane or a placebo by mouth. The trial measures …

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 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…
