Metronomic chemotherapy with gemcitabine, mitomycin C, and thalidomide for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—gemcitabine, mitomycin C, and thalidomide—given in a low, frequent 'metronomic' schedule to treat advanced solid tumors that have already been treated. The goal is to see if this approach can slow or stop tumor growth with fewer side effects.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06234137Recruiting
Chemo plus targeted therapy for advanced HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (docetaxel and carboplatin) plus two targeted drugs (Inetetamab and Pyrotinib) for people with locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to see if this powerful combo can shrink the tumor before surgery or other treatments.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07644403Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T Cell Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors
This trial tests IMC001, a new type of immune cell therapy designed to fight advanced solid cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells engineered to recognize and attack cancer cells.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06543069RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for unresectable peritoneal mesothelioma
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (sintilimab, bevacizumab, pemetrexed, and cisplatin) to see if they can shrink or control peritoneal mesothelioma that cannot be surgically removed. It may be an option if you have this rare cancer and are in fairly good health.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06627634Recruiting
Surgery for stomach cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests if removing the stomach tumor and liver spots together can help people with stomach cancer that has spread only to the liver. It is for those who are healthy enough for surgery and chemotherapy.
Aarhus, JyllandAges 18 years+ - NCT06610799RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IBI363 for first-line advanced gastric cancer
This trial tests a new drug called IBI363 in patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer who have not yet received any treatment. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07467629RecruitingPhase 1
Study of QLS5212 for people with advanced solid tumors
