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 - NCT04472845Recruiting
Shorter or longer breast radiation after surgery for high-risk cancer
This trial compares two schedules of radiation after breast surgery in people with high-risk, node-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see whether giving radiation in 1 week or 2 weeks works well and is safe after standard treatments.
ChandigarhAges 18 years+ - NCT05717790Recruiting
Nimotuzumab with chemo and radiation for advanced nose cancer
This trial tests whether adding nimotuzumab (an anti-EGFR antibody) to standard chemotherapy and radiation can improve outcomes for people with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It may help the cancer respond better and control it more effectively after treatment.
Baise City, GuangxiAges 18–70 - NCT03466424Recruiting
Short radiation then chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation given before chemotherapy for people with locally advanced rectal cancer (cancer that has grown into nearby tissue and/or nearby lymph nodes but can still be removed). It may help shrink the tumor and make treatment more effective while assessing how well this approach works.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT04803539RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
ctDNA-guided booster treatment after chemo for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial uses a blood test called ctDNA to see who is at higher risk after surgery and standard chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. If your ctDNA test is positive, you may receive an extra “boost” treatment to help reduce the chance the cancer returns.
Guandong, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04842006Recruiting
Personalized treatment plan for rectal cancer before and after surgery
This trial looks at a personalized treatment approach for rectal cancer. It aims to guide the best chemotherapy and (if needed) radiotherapy before and after surgery, based on scans and specific test results.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–100 - NCT05762900RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter breast radiation after surgery for low-risk breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a shorter, focused radiation treatment after breast surgery, either alone or with an extra targeted boost. It’s for people with low-risk breast cancer and no spread to distant organs, aiming to keep results while reducing treatment time and side effects.
BeijingAges 35 years+ - NCT05768464RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery aftercare for non-clear kidney cancer at high risk
This Phase 2 trial studies an after-surgery treatment for people with non-clear types of kidney cancer who are at high risk of coming back. It aims to lower the chance of recurrence by giving extra therapy after your tumor is completely removed.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05595603RecruitingPhase 2
Zoledronic acid in bone cement after tumor scraping
This trial tests whether adding zoledronic acid (a bone-strengthening medicine) into bone cement at the surgical site can help prevent giant cell bone tumor from coming back after surgeons scrape it out from inside the bone. It is for people whose tumor can be treated with a specific “scrape-and-reconstruct” surgery and who have not had related medicines before.
HangzhouAges Any age - NCT04409860Recruiting
Adjuvant chemo after chemoradiation for advanced cervical cancer
This trial looks at whether adding chemotherapy after standard chemoradiation helps people with locally advanced cervical cancer. You may be eligible if your MRI after treatment still shows leftover tumor areas and your health and blood tests are within required limits.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05212454RecruitingPhase 3
Capecitabine added after surgery for high-risk ER-positive breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding capecitabine (a chemotherapy pill) after breast cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It targets people with hormone-receptor–positive and HER2-negative breast cancer who are considered “high risk.”
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT05857800Recruiting
Studying how lung tumor treatment affects the tumor environment
This trial studies how “before-surgery” (neoadjuvant) lung cancer treatments change the tumor environment by monitoring patients during care. It may help doctors better choose therapies and predict who benefits from treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05984342RecruitingPhase 1
Tislelizumab plus chemo after surgery for lymph node-positive esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab to standard chemotherapy after surgery can help prevent esophageal cancer from coming back. It is for people whose cancer had spread to lymph nodes at the time of surgery.
Shantou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06026774RecruitingPhase 1

This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine designed to train your immune system to fight your specific cancer. It's for people who have just had surgery to remove a digestive system cancer (like pancreatic or colorectal) and will also receive standard chemotherapy after surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05264896RecruitingPhase 3
Stomach cancer surgery plus two chemo plans
This trial compares two chemotherapy schedules around stomach cancer surgery: giving chemo before and after surgery (FLOT) versus giving chemo after surgery (XELOX). It’s meant to see which plan works better and is easier to tolerate for locally advanced disease that has not spread.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06035016Recruiting
Pyrotinib and capecitabine after surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This study tests whether taking pyrotinib (a daily pill) with capecitabine (another pill) after breast cancer surgery can help prevent HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer from coming back. It is for women who have already had their cancer removed and meet certain risk criteria.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06043999Recruiting
Chemotherapy vs. surgery for high-risk rectal cancer after local removal
This trial compares standard chemotherapy to more extensive surgery (total mesorectal excision) for patients whose initial local surgery showed high-risk features like poor differentiation, lymphovascular invasion, or larger tumor size. It aims to find the best treatment to prevent cancer from coming back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06068023Recruiting
