Focal Micro-boost Radiotherapy for Localized Prostate Cancer
This study tests whether adding a small, targeted boost to MRI-visible prostate lesions during moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy can improve cancer control in men with localized intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer.
-
Liquid biopsy at diagnosis for advanced NSCLC
We’re testing whether a blood test (liquid biopsy) done early can speed up getting usable molecular information for adults with suspected advanced NSCLC.
-
Immune Metabolism in NSCLC and Response to PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors
This observational study will look at metabolic patterns in tumor and immune cells from NSCLC patients to see if they correlate with response or resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 therapies.
-
Standardizing patient-derived models to test microencapsulated nutraceuticals with immunotherapy in NSCLC
Doctors will test microencapsulated nutraceuticals derived from resveratrol and artichoke extract in preclinical NSCLC models made from patients’ tumor tissue to see if they boost immunotherapy.
-
Creating organoids from endometrial cancer tissue
We will try to grow miniature tumor models (organoids) from surgical tissue of adults with endometrial cancer to see if transport and handling affect whether they can be grown.
-
Vitamin K, d‑chiro‑inositol and α‑lactalbumin for protecting bones during breast cancer hormone therapy
This will test whether adding vitamin K, d‑chiro‑inositol and α‑lactalbumin to calcium and vitamin D better protects bone health in women on hormone therapy for breast cancer.
-
Growing cervical cancer organoids from diagnostic biopsy samples
We will try to grow tiny, patient-specific tumor organoids from biopsy tissue collected during diagnostic biopsy in adults with suspected stage IB2–IIIA cervical cancer so labs can test treatments on them.
-
Tracking TTV viral load during first-line immunotherapy for renal cell carcinoma
This project will test whether changes in torquetenovirus (TTV) levels in blood and stool can help predict how people with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma respond to first-line immunotherapy.
-
Investigating urinary microbiome differences in bladder cancer and healthy men
This study looks at the differences in bacteria found in the urine of men with bladder cancer, those with other urinary issues, and healthy men to see if these differences are linked to bladder cancer.
-
Combining fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery with surgery for brain metastases
This study is testing whether giving radiation therapy before surgery can help people with brain tumors from cancers like lung, breast, and melanoma have better outcomes and fewer complications.
-
Evaluating genomic testing and radiotherapy for prostate cancer recurrence
This study is testing if a genomic test can help guide radiation treatment for men whose prostate cancer comes back after surgery.
-
Examining miRNA Signatures in Glioma for Clinical Use
This study is testing how certain tiny molecules in the body affect glioma tumors and their response to treatments like radiation and a common chemotherapy drug, to help improve care for glioma patients.
-
Improving blood management for breast cancer patients undergoing surgery
This study tests whether giving iron treatment before surgery can help breast cancer patients with low hemoglobin levels need fewer blood transfusions during their operations.
-
Analyzing urine methylation patterns for early bladder cancer diagnosis
This study is testing if checking for specific changes in urine can help doctors find bladder cancer earlier and more accurately.
-
Exploring how couples cope with breast cancer
This study looks at how couples handle the challenges of breast cancer over two years to see what helps them cope and stay strong together.
-
Using AI to predict risks in endometrial cancer management
This study is testing if using artificial intelligence can help doctors better predict risks and improve treatment for women with endometrial cancer, especially to help preserve fertility in those with low-risk profiles.
-
Exploring biomarkers in patients with HPV-related head and neck cancer
This study looks at patients with HPV-related throat cancer to see how their body responds to treatment by checking their blood and tissue samples for HPV and immune markers.
-
Molecular diagnosis of lung cancer response to immunotherapy
This study is trying to see how the genes in lung cancer tumors affect how well patients respond to immunotherapy, with the hope of improving personalized treatment options.
-
Understanding how mutant p53/YAP proteins affect treatment resistance in head and neck cancer
This study looks at how changes in certain proteins in head and neck cancer cells might make them resistant to treatment, helping doctors find better ways to fight the disease.
-
Creating organoids from colorectal tumors and liver metastases
This study is trying to create mini versions of colorectal tumors and their liver spread to see how certain genes work and find new ways to treat cancer.
-
Creating organoid cultures from male breast tumors
This study is trying to grow mini versions of male breast tumors from patients to see how well they match the original tumors and how they respond to treatments.
-
Combining radiotherapy with immunotherapy for extensive small cell lung cancer
This study is testing if combining radiation therapy with a type of immunotherapy can help people with extensive small cell lung cancer live longer after their initial treatment.
-
Treatment for indeterminate thyroid nodules using myo-inositol and selenium
This study is testing if a six-month treatment with a supplement of myo-inositol and selenium can help reduce the size and improve the elasticity of certain thyroid nodules in patients.
-
Using shockwave therapy to improve erectile function after prostate cancer surgery
This study is testing whether using shockwave therapy along with a common erectile dysfunction medication can help men regain erectile function better after prostate cancer surgery.
-
Evaluating flap use in laryngectomy after failed cancer treatment
This study is testing if using a special flap during surgery for throat cancer helps reduce the risk of complications and improves recovery for patients who have already had treatment that didn't work.
-
Evaluating the effectiveness of sacituzumab govitecan for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This study is testing how well a new treatment called sacituzumab govitecan works for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and whether it is safe to use.
-
New method for detecting melanoma biomarkers in blood samples
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for specific markers of melanoma to see if it works better than current methods.
-
Observing viral biomarkers and microRNAs in oropharyngeal tumors and occult cancers related to HPV
This study is testing if certain viral markers and microRNAs in oropharyngeal tumors can help doctors better diagnose and monitor HPV-related cancers and find new treatments.
-
Combining SBRT with short-term androgen deprivation for high-risk prostate cancer
This study is testing whether adding a short-term hormone treatment to a type of targeted radiation can help men with high-risk prostate cancer do better than just using radiation alone.
Quick answers
How many clinical trials run by Regina Elena Cancer Institute are recruiting right now?
29, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
All of them have sites in Italy. Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 2: 2, Phase 3: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
