TRIAL NAME: Pacific 8

Brief title/summary

This trial is looking at durvalumab and domvanalimab for non small cell lung cancer that has grown into surrounding tissues. It is for people with non small cell lung cancer that is locally advanced, can’t be removed by surgery and hasn’t got worse following chemoradiotherapy.

TRIAL NAME: Stablemates

Brief title/summary

This study is comparing a method of surgery (JoLT-Ca Sublobar Resection) against a modern form of radiotherapy (Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy) as a treatment for lung cancer.

Urological cancers

TRIAL NAME: PEARLS

Brief title/summary

A trial of intensity modulated radiotherapy to treat prostate cancer. This trial is looking at radiotherapy to nearby lymph nodes in addition to radiotherapy to the prostate. It is open to men having radiotherapy for the first time.

TRIAL NAME: Pointer-PC

Brief title/summary

Pelvis Or Involved Node Treatment: Eradicating Recurrence in Prostate Cancer (POINTER-PC). This trial will explore how radiotherapy can be made more effective for men whose cancer has come back following an initial course of treatment intended to cure it.  

Where is the trial open

TRIAL NAME: STAMPEDE-2

Brief title/summary

STAMPEDE2 is a clinical trial testing new treatments in men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic prostate cancer). It tests these treatments when the cancer is hormone-sensitive, which means that it is at a stage where it is responsive to treatment with hormone therapy.

Other/Multiple tumour sites

TRIAL NAME: FaR-RMS

Brief title/summary

 This trial is looking at new ways of treating rhabdomyosarcoma in children and adults. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of soft tissue sarcoma. The main aims of the trial are to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life. 

Where is the trial open

TRIAL NAME: iPREDICT

Brief title/summary

 The purpose of this study is to learn more about personalised cancer therapy including response to treatment and side effects. Information from the patient's medical record regarding the tests and treatments they have received, or will receive, for their cancer will be collected. Genomic testing on tissue from the primary tumour or metastases will be used to match therapy recommendations.

TRIAL NAME: PROTIS

Brief title/summary

 The purpose of this study is to assess whether PBT (proton beam therapy) improves disease-free survival rate compared with standard-of-care IMRT (intensity modulated radiotherapy) for nose and sinus cancer which has not spread.  This trial will compare the cure rates and side effects of the two treatments. 

Participants have a 50:50 chance of receiving IMRT at a local hospital, or PBT at one of the UK proton centres (Manchester or London). 

Delivery of radiotherapy will happen over 6-7 weeks.  

Where is the trial open
