Testing how added radiation may work by immune and tumor markers
This study looks at people with non-metastatic invasive breast cancer who are getting curative breast surgery followed by planned radiation (sometimes with other anti-cancer medicines). Researchers want to understand whether a patient’s age and certain immune/tumor blood features can predict how well radiation helps.
JenaAges 18 years+ - NCT04280822RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo versus chemo alone before surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy before surgery works better than chemotherapy alone for resectable esophageal cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes after tumor shrinkage before the operation.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06389552Recruiting
Long-term study of FOLFIRINOX after pancreatic cancer surgery
This study follows people with pancreatic cancer who are receiving a chemotherapy combination called FOLFIRINOX after surgery. The goal is to see how well the treatment works over time and how it affects long-term survival and cancer recurrence.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06484491Recruiting
Higher-dose proton therapy for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving a higher dose of a special, precise form of radiation (proton therapy) to the main tumor can improve outcomes for people with stage III lung cancer who are already scheduled for chemoradiation and immunotherapy. It may help by targeting the tumor more effectively while protecting nearby organs.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06197425RecruitingPhase 3
Extra chemotherapy after surgery for colorectal cancer with positive ctDNA
This trial tests whether giving more chemotherapy can help people who still have cancer DNA in their blood after surgery and standard chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. The goal is to prevent the cancer from coming back.
DijonAges 18–80 - NCT04278469Recruiting
Study for early breast cancer patients with low-risk genes
This trial studies early, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and looks at a group with “high clinical risk” but “low genetic (tumor) risk.” It may help researchers understand which patients may benefit most from treatment decisions guided by genetic tumor testing.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT03351842RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery alone or plus chemotherapy for early lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery helps people with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma that has a micropapillary pattern. It’s testing whether chemotherapy given after complete tumor removal can improve outcomes compared with surgery alone.
ShanghaiAges 19–70 - NCT06864533Recruiting
Chemotherapy after surgery for aggressive prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding chemotherapy after standard treatment helps people with a very aggressive type of prostate cancer (Gleason score 9-10). It is designed for those who have not had their cancer spread to distant parts of the body and are healthy enough to handle chemotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05080010RecruitingPhase 3
Extra chemo after eye removal for high-risk retinoblastoma
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving chemotherapy after the eye has been removed can lower the chance of retinoblastoma coming back for children with high-risk disease. You may be screened if your child had one eye affected and meet the staging and treatment history requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT05825443RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy after lung surgery
This Phase 2 study looks at whether adding an immunotherapy medicine (camrelizumab) to standard chemotherapy after lung surgery can help prevent lung cancer from coming back. It is for people with stage IIA–IIIA non-small cell lung cancer who cannot use targeted (mutation-based) adjuvant therapy.
Guandong, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06402708RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy after surgery for thymic cancer
This trial tests whether additional chemotherapy after surgery can help prevent thymic cancer from coming back. It is for people who have had their thymus tumor completely removed and are in good health.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07562711RecruitingPhase 2
Blood Test to Guide Chemotherapy After Colon Cancer Surgery
This study uses a simple blood test to detect cancer DNA after surgery for early-stage colon cancer. The goal is to help doctors decide whether chemotherapy is truly needed based on the blood test results, rather than giving it to everyone.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06344156RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized vaccine combined with immunotherapy and chemo after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests a personalized neoantigen vaccine given along with an anti-PD1 drug (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy after surgery for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07044453RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Extra chemo tailored to tumor stage for operated pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether giving different types of extra chemo (after surgery) based on the stage of your cancer can help prevent it from coming back. It's for people with pancreatic cancer who already had chemo and surgery.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT04437160RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo after surgery for triple-negative breast cancer with leftover tumor
This Phase 2 study tests chemotherapy given after surgery for people with triple-negative breast cancer who still have cancer left after initial (neoadjuvant) chemo. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back in people at higher risk based on leftover tumor and lymph node findings.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05815082RecruitingPhase 3
ctDNA-guided chemo after liver surgery for colon cancer
This trial checks whether giving chemotherapy after surgery only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows no remaining cancer can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver who had the tumor fully removed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05872724RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized add-on treatment after cervical cancer surgery
This study tests whether a tailored “extra” treatment after surgery—guided by a lab test called minimal residual disease (MRD)—can reduce the risk of cervical cancer coming back. It focuses on people with certain stages of cervical cancer who can follow the treatment plan and study follow-up.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06966440Recruiting
MRD-Guided Chemotherapy After Pancreatic Cancer Surgery
This trial tests whether using a special blood test (MRD) to guide chemotherapy after pancreatic cancer surgery can improve outcomes. It is for people who have had their cancer completely removed and are ready for standard follow-up therapy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT04688801Recruiting
Chemo plus immunotherapy after surgery for esophageal cancer
This study looks at adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy after surgery for certain esophageal or EG-junction cancers. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, for people whose cancer can be fully removed.
Jinan, ShandongAges 25–80 - NCT05797467RecruitingPhase 3
After-surgery chemo plus targeted therapy for colon cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding targeted therapy to standard chemotherapy after surgery helps people with stage T3-4, N2 colon cancer live longer or have fewer cancer returns. You would be assigned to receive chemotherapy with targeted therapy or chemotherapy alone, based on the study plan.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04009265RecruitingPhase 3
Compare chemotherapy, chemoradiation, or surgery alone after esophageal surgery
This Phase 3 trial looks at the best next step after surgery for thoracic esophageal squamous cell cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It compares adding chemotherapy, adding chemoradiation (chemotherapy plus radiation), or not adding additional treatment right away, to see which approach works best and is safest.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07366528RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two chemo combos for stage III stomach cancer after surgery
This trial compares two chemotherapy combinations (oxaliplatin plus S-1 vs docetaxel plus S-1) for people with stage III stomach cancer who have had complete surgical removal of the tumor. The goal is to see which combination works better to prevent cancer from returning.
Shaoguan, GuandongAges 18–80 - NCT07562490RecruitingPhase 2
Blood Test to Guide Chemotherapy After Colorectal Cancer Surgery
This study tests whether a special blood test (looking for cancer DNA) can help doctors decide if you need chemotherapy after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to avoid unnecessary chemotherapy while making sure patients who need it get treated.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT04174079Recruiting
Chemotherapy after esophagus surgery for lymph node spread
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery for esophageal squamous cell cancer can reduce the chance the cancer returns. It focuses on people whose surgery removed cancerous lymph nodes and who are healthy enough to tolerate chemotherapy.
