ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT05860465RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tested blood cancer medicine with hormone therapy for breast cancer
This trial studies SPH4336 given together with standard hormone (endocrine) therapy for breast cancer that has spread or cannot be treated with surgery. It aims to see whether the combination is safer and more effective than hormone therapy alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03573791Recruiting
Testing markers to predict chemo-radiation response in rectal cancer
This trial studies lab “biomarkers” (measurable cancer features) to predict whether rectal cancer will resist chemo-radiation before surgery. The goal is to help doctors better choose treatments and avoid ineffective therapy.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07002177RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy study for ER+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug called FWD1802 combined with other treatments for people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer (ER-positive, HER2-negative). It aims to find better options if standard treatments have stopped working or aren't suitable.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07371663RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TCC1727 combination therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, TCC1727, combined with other treatments for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapy. It aims to see if these combinations can help shrink or control the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06026943Recruiting
Alpha radiation therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses tiny alpha radiation sources placed directly into the tumor to destroy cancer cells. It is for people with pancreatic cancer that has not spread but cannot be removed surgically, and who have already tried at least one type of chemotherapy or cannot take more chemo.
VeronaAges 18–120 - NCT06463665RecruitingPhase 2
Virus therapy with chemo and immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to attack cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than a different chemotherapy drug alone.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07100600RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug with or without radiation for HER2-positive breast cancer brain tumors
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to a targeted cancer drug (trastuzumab rezetecan) is better than the drug alone for women with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the brain. If you have untreated brain tumors from this type of breast cancer, this study aims to find the best way to stop them from growing.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT02133196RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell treatment for lung cancer that has spread
This Phase 2 study tests a T-cell–based immunotherapy for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite prior treatment. It may help your immune system recognize and fight your cancer using cells made from your tumor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT05957068Recruiting
Exercise program for breast cancer after surgery
This study tests an exercise intervention for people with early-to-mid stage breast cancer soon after curative breast surgery (and after chemo and/or radiation if you had it). It may help improve recovery, physical strength, and overall wellbeing by making exercise safer and more structured during this period.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT04222413RecruitingPhase 1
Study of metarrestin for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called metarrestin for people with solid tumors that have spread or come back after standard treatment. It may help by targeting a protein involved in cancer cell growth.
