AberdeenAges 18 years+ - NCT04595929Recruiting
Tested aerosol chemotherapy inside the abdomen for stomach cancer
This trial looks at a way to give chemotherapy into the abdomen (through a small tube during laparoscopy) for certain stomach cancers. It aims to see whether this approach improves cancer control and surgical outcomes for people whose tumors can potentially be removed.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–65 - NCT03961776Recruiting
MRI to monitor treatment response in rectal cancer
This trial tests whether an MRI scan done during chemoradiation can help doctors track how rectal cancer treatment is working. It may improve how they measure response early so treatment planning can be better tailored.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04997837RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant chemo with or without PD-1 for stomach cancer after surgery
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding an immune medicine called PD-1 (given as an “inhibitor”) to standard chemotherapy and chemoradiation after stomach/GEJ cancer surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back. You may qualify if you’ve had surgery removing the tumor and lymph nodes showed higher-risk disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03784651Recruiting
How breast cancer treatment changes metabolism and bone
This study looks at how standard breast cancer treatments affect your body’s metabolism and bones in postmenopausal people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better predict and prevent bone and metabolic side effects from treatment.
Copenhagen, DanmarkAges 50–70 - NCT04109755RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus radiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy medicine) together with short-course radiation before surgery helps people with localized rectal cancer. It is mainly for tumors that are microsatellite stable (MSS).
GenevaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05086614RecruitingPhase 3
Thymosin-alpha 1 after surgery for high-risk colon cancer
This trial looks at whether thymosin-alpha 1, an immune-support treatment, can help prevent colon cancer from coming back after surgery. It targets people with high-risk stage II or III colon cancer who have had the tumor removed.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04595864RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy into the liver before transplant for liver cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy directly into the liver blood supply before a liver transplant can help people with liver cancer that is beyond standard transplant criteria. It may help lower cancer risk around the time of transplant while keeping people healthy enough to receive the transplant.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05194878RecruitingPhase 3
Before-surgery chemotherapy vs immediate surgery for colon cancer
This trial compares giving chemotherapy before surgery versus going straight to surgery for certain stage II/III colon cancers. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by testing which approach works best for high-risk cases.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04787354RecruitingPhase 3
Choosing the best length of oxaliplatin after stomach surgery
This trial tests whether giving oxaliplatin for a shorter or longer time works best after curative surgery for stage II–III stomach (or stomach–esophagus junction) cancer. It aims to improve outcomes while balancing side effects from chemotherapy.
Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT02102477Recruiting
Surgery or radiation for prostate cancer in the pelvis
This trial compares surgery versus radiation for men with locally advanced prostate cancer that has not spread to distant sites. It aims to see which treatment works better and is easier to manage for people like you.
AalborgAges 18–75 - NCT05342792RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo tablets with or without an immune therapy after cancer treatment
This trial tests whether taking the chemo tablet capecitabine after standard chemoradiation can help prevent cancer from coming back, and whether adding an immune therapy (a PD-1 antibody) improves results. It is for people with high-risk nasopharyngeal (throat) cancer whose main treatment has already finished.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05345860Recruiting
Using MRD results to guide extra treatment after breast surgery
This trial checks “MRD” (tiny leftover cancer signals after surgery) to help decide the best additional treatment for early-stage breast cancer. It may help tailor therapy so you get the most useful medicines while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05420467RecruitingPhase 4
Trial of add-on breast cancer treatment after surgery
