Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT04495088RecruitingPhase 3
Before vs after chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 3 study compares giving chemotherapy before rectal surgery versus giving it after surgery, using a tailored plan based on your risk. The goal is to see which timing helps more people with locally advanced rectal cancer stay cancer-free and live longer.
MannheimAges 18 years+ - NCT06711068Recruiting
Chemotherapy plus targeted therapy for HER2+ early breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted therapy to chemotherapy after surgery can help prevent HER2-positive early breast cancer from coming back. It is for patients whose cancer has not spread to lymph nodes and who have certain tumor sizes and features.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06056336RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative tislelizumab plus chemo for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving tislelizumab (an immunotherapy) along with chemotherapy before and after surgery can help people with a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes for patients whose cancer is in the chest and can be removed with surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06534489Recruiting
Surgery for lung cancer after chemo or targeted therapy
This trial tests whether combining chemo or targeted therapy before surgery can help people with non-small cell lung cancer that may require removing a whole lung. We want to see if this approach makes the surgery safer and more effective.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07263386RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo for PD-L1-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug sintilimab to standard chemotherapy (SOX) after surgery helps prevent stomach cancer from returning. It’s for people whose tumors have a protein called PD-L1 and who had cancer in at least 7 lymph nodes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06341621RecruitingPhase 3
Skipping chemo for ER+/HER2- breast cancer with 1–3 positive nodes
This trial tests whether skipping chemotherapy is safe for women with a specific type of early-stage breast cancer (ER-positive, HER2-negative) that has spread to 1–3 lymph nodes. Instead of chemo, you would receive a targeted pill called abemaciclib after standard hormone therapy.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07562503RecruitingPhase 2
Blood Test to Guide Colorectal Cancer Follow-Up Treatment
This trial tests whether a special blood test that detects cancer DNA can help doctors decide if you need additional chemotherapy after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to personalize treatment based on your individual risk rather than giving chemotherapy to everyone.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT04453826RecruitingPhase 3
Test PD-1 plus chemo-radiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding a PD-1 immunotherapy (given with chemotherapy and radiation, and also after) can improve outcomes for people with high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help by strengthening the immune system’s attack on the cancer alongside standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05255653RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Personalized after-surgery treatment for endometrial cancer by tumor type
This trial studies which after-surgery (adjuvant) treatment works best when endometrial cancer is classified by specific tumor DNA/molecular features. You may be offered treatment based on the tumor results, aiming to improve outcomes and lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
TorontoAges 18 years+ - NCT06228079RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo-immunotherapy after surgery for early reoccurring nasopharyngeal cancer
This study looks at whether adding chemo-immunotherapy after surgery is better than surgery alone for patients whose nasopharyngeal cancer has returned but is still in early stages. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back again.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06271421Recruiting
Nanoparticle heat therapy for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment for recurrent glioblastoma using tiny magnetic particles (nanoparticles) that are heated to kill cancer cells. The particles are injected into the tumor, and then a magnetic field device heats them up. It's for people who have already tried standard therapy and whose tumor has come back.
PoznanAges 18 years+ - NCT06949098RecruitingPhase 2
Local tumor removal plus chemo-radiation for early low rectal cancer
This trial tests whether removing just the tumor locally, followed by chemotherapy and radiation, is effective for early-stage (T1-2 N0) rectal cancers located low or very low in the rectum. It may help you keep your anal opening and avoid major surgery that requires a permanent colostomy bag.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT04268121RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery for certain digestive neuroendocrine cancers
This study looks at whether chemotherapy given before surgery improves how long patients live without the cancer coming back. It’s aimed at people with localized, poorly differentiated digestive neuroendocrine carcinoma with a higher growth rate marker.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05272696RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before treatment for advanced head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy medicine) together with induction chemotherapy before the main cancer treatment for stage III/IVA head and neck squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve how well the tumor responds and how long people can stay controlled.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05877872RecruitingPhase 3
Smaller surgery after chemotherapy for recurring nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether doing a smaller surgery (after chemotherapy works well) can control recurring nasopharyngeal cancer while reducing treatment burden. It is for people whose cancer can be removed by surgery and who respond to an initial course of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy (or another targeted regimen).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06494943RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of IBI110 and Sintilimab with Chemo for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (IBI110 and sintilimab) with chemotherapy before surgery for people with advanced head and neck cancer that can be removed surgically. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06931717RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after lung cancer surgery for those not getting chemo
This trial tests if the drug cemiplimab can prevent non-small cell lung cancer from coming back after surgery. It's for people whose tumors have PD-L1 levels of at least 1% and who are not receiving standard chemotherapy after surgery.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06737822RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery first vs chemo then surgery for oral cancer
This trial compares two approaches for treating oral cancer: having surgery right away or having chemotherapy first followed by surgery. It aims to find which sequence leads to better outcomes for patients.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–75 - NCT07181499RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with befotertinib for resistance to targeted lung cancer drugs
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and a targeted drug (befotertinib) for people with non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has stopped responding to a common type of targeted therapy. It aims to see if this new sequence can help overcome resistance.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06284317RecruitingPhase 3
Durvalumab after chemo and surgery for early lung cancer
This trial tests adding durvalumab (an immunotherapy) after chemotherapy, surgery, and more durvalumab for people with early-stage, operable non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this extra treatment helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07474324RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy plus chemo vs chemo alone for stage 3 stomach cancer
This trial tests adding disitamab vedotin (a drug that targets HER2) to standard chemotherapy (SOX) after surgery for stage 3 stomach cancer. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemo alone to prevent cancer from coming back.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05593458RecruitingPhase 3
Stomach cancer surgery before chemo: artery-based or drip chemo
This trial compares two ways of giving chemotherapy before surgery for locally advanced stomach or stomach–esophagus cancer: chemo sent through an artery versus chemo given through an IV line. It also studies adding PD-1 immunotherapy to see which approach works better and is safer.
