All Disease Sites

  • A222004: Olanzapine versus Megestrol Acetate for the treatment of loss of appetite among cancer patients
    This trial compares the effects of olanzapine versus megestrol acetate in treating loss of appetite in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced).
    Trial Details
  • WF-1901: An Internet-based Program to Help Cancer Survivors Manage Pain
    This trial compares the effect of adding an internet-based pain program (painTRAINER) to enhanced usual care versus enhanced usual care alone in improving pain severity and pain interference in cancer survivors.
    Trial Details
  • S1912CD: A Randomized Trial Addressing Cancer-Related Financial Hardship Through Delivery of a Proactive Financial Navigation Intervention (CREDIT)
    This trial examines a financial navigation program in helping patients and their spouses understand and better manage the financial aspects of cancer care.
    Trial Details
  • URCC-21038: An Observational Research Study for Cancer Patients on Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors, DiRECT Study (Pending Activation)
    This study compares treatment outcomes between patients of African American/Black (AA) ancestry and European American/White (EA) ancestry currently receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment.
    Trial Details
  • A212102: Blinded Reference Set for Multicancer Early Detection Blood Tests (PENDING)
    This study collects blood and tissue samples from patients with cancer and without cancer to evaluate tests for early cancer detection.
    Trial Details

Breast

  • A221803: Mepitel Film for the Reduction of Radiation Dermatitis in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Post Mastectomy Radiation Therapy
    This randomized phase III trial studies how well Mepitel Film works in reducing radiation dermatitis (redness and peeling) in patients with breast cancer during radiation therapy after a mastectomy.
    Trial Details
  • A011202: Comparison of Axillary Lymph Node Dissection With Axillary Radiation for Patients With Node-Positive Breast Cancer Treated With Chemotherapy (Temporarily Suspended)
    This trial studies lymph node dissection and radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to radiation therapy alone in treating patients with breast cancer previously treated with chemotherapy and surgery.
    Trial Details
  • BR007: Testing the usual treatment of radiation therapy and hormonal therapy to hormonal therapy alone for low-risk, early stage breast cancer
    This trial compares the effect of radiation therapy combined with hormonal therapy versus hormonal therapy alone in treating patients with low risk, early stage breast cancer with Oncotype Dx Recurrence less than 18.
    Trial Details

Gastrointestinal

  • A221805: Duloxetine to prevent oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy
    This trial studies the best dose of duloxetine and how well it works in preventing pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness (peripheral neuropathy) caused by treatment with oxaliplatin in patients with stage II-III colorectal cancer.
    Trial Details
  • EA2186: Comparing Two Treatment Combinations, Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel with 5-Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Liposomal Irinotecan for Older Patients with Pancreatic Cancer that has Spread
    This trial compares two treatment combinations: gemcitabine hydrochloride and nab-paclitaxel, or fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and liposomal irinotecan in older patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic).
    Trial Details

Thoracic/Lung

  • A171901: Testing the effects of MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) with or without the usual chemotherapy treatment for patients 70 years of age and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer
    This trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has come back (recurrent) and has spread to other places in the body (advanced).
    Trial Details
  • EA5163: Testing the timing of immunotherapy alone or with chemotherapy as first line treatment and maintenance in non-small cell lung cancer
    This trial studies whether pembrolizumab alone as a first-line treatment, followed by pemetrexed and carboplatin with or without pembrolizumab after disease progression, is superior to induction with pembrolizumab, pemetrexed and carboplatin followed by pembrolizumab and pemetrexed maintenance in treating patients with stage IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
