Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT04811703RecruitingPhase 1
Testing aerosol chemotherapy through the belly for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy inside the abdomen (belly) using a pressurized aerosol during a procedure, along with standard blood (IV) chemotherapy. It may help people with advanced ovarian cancer whose tumors have not progressed but are not removable with surgery yet.
LilleAges 18–75 - NCT07542262Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Low-dose immunotherapy for advanced colorectal and stomach cancer
This study tests a lower dose of immunotherapy in patients with colorectal or stomach cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. The cancer must have a specific genetic feature (MSI/dMMR). The goal is to see if this approach works well with fewer side effects.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT03853733Recruiting
Shorter radiation plan for non-surgery rectal cancer
This trial looks at a shorter radiation schedule for people with advanced rectal (or nearby sigmoid) cancer who cannot have surgery. The goal is to control the cancer while keeping treatment simpler, especially for those who cannot safely undergo an operation.
Terrassa, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03941756Recruiting
Lymph bypass before underarm node surgery to prevent swelling
This study looks at whether adding a lymph “bypass” procedure before underarm lymph node surgery can lower the chance of arm or chest swelling (lymphedema) after cancer treatment. It compares people having lymph node surgery for breast cancer with plans for radiation, and a melanoma comparison group.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07330544RecruitingPhase 2
Study of entinostat with anlotinib or fulvestrant for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests adding entinostat (a drug that may help hormone therapy work better) to anlotinib or fulvestrant for people with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer that has worsened after prior hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor. It aims to find a new treatment option for those who cannot use chemotherapy yet.
Zhejiang, HangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT07025174RecruitingPhase 2
Sequential anti-angiogenic therapy after immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether giving a drug that blocks blood vessel growth (anti-angiogenic therapy) after immunotherapy can help people with advanced bile duct, gallbladder, or cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this sequence improves outcomes for patients who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT04005690RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted drug treatment for pancreatic cancer using pathway changes
This early-phase trial tests how well targeted medicines (and possibly an immunotherapy drug) work for people with pancreatic cancer that can’t be fully removed with surgery or has spread. It also looks at whether the treatment is safe and can shrink or control tumors by blocking specific cancer pathways.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06179303RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging to predict response to abemaciclib for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests if a special PET scan can predict how well the drug abemaciclib works for people with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. If you qualify, you would receive abemaciclib and have imaging scans to see if your cancer responds.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07744698RecruitingPhase 4
Maintenance therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a pill form of chemotherapy (oral paclitaxel) combined with an immunotherapy drug to keep advanced lung cancer from growing after initial treatment. It may help patients whose cancer was controlled with first-line therapy.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05504278RecruitingPhase 1
Testing IBI351 with chemotherapy for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether IBI351, a targeted medicine, can be safely given with standard chemotherapy to treat advanced lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation. It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs of effectiveness, and may offer a new option if your cancer matches these features.
Jilin City, ChangchunAges 18–75 - NCT07143045Recruiting
Zorifertinib for lung cancer that has spread to the brain
This trial tracks how well zorifertinib works as a first treatment for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer that has spread to the brain or spinal cord lining. Participants may receive zorifertinib or another standard treatment, and researchers will monitor their response over time.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07426094RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Boosting radiation for prostate cancer in lymph nodes
This trial tests whether giving higher radiation doses to the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes is more effective than treating only the prostate. You may benefit if your prostate cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes but not to bones or other organs, and you are getting hormone therapy.
Zamość, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06950086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TYK-00540 tablets for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new tablet, TYK-00540, alone or with another drug, for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05965531RecruitingPhase 2
TAS-102 plus radiation before surgery for rectal cancer
