Pamplona, NavarreAges 18–74 - NCT05122806Recruiting
Study of cancer biology in ALK-positive advanced lung cancer
This study looks at biological changes in advanced lung cancer that has an ALK rearrangement, using regular blood samples (and sometimes tumor tissue if available). It may help researchers better understand how this cancer behaves and how it responds to first-line ALK-targeted treatment.
Saint-Denis, La RéunionAges 18 years+ - NCT05136326RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemo-radiation for rectal cancer without MGMT
This trial studies whether adding two chemotherapy medicines (capecitabine and temozolomide) to standard pre-surgery chemo-radiation can work better for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has a specific tumor marker pattern (MGMT “silenced”) and is mismatch-repair proficient (MSS). It aims to shrink the tumor before surgery and improve cancer control.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05140746Recruiting
Predicting how well chemotherapy works before stomach surgery
This study looks for ways to predict whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy (chemo given before surgery) will work well in people with locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan sooner based on your test results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05141474RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized immune cell treatment for advanced cancers after failed therapy
This trial tests a personalized therapy made from your own immune cells (TIL) picked to match your tumor’s “neoantigens,” plus standard immune-boosting medicine (including IL-2). It’s for people with advanced epithelial or immune “resistant” solid tumors whose cancer has continued growing despite available treatments.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05142982Recruiting
Radiation or watchful waiting after chemo for seminoma
This study compares giving radiation versus observation (no immediate radiation) for men with advanced seminoma whose PET-CT scan shows a leftover mass after first-line chemotherapy. It aims to see which approach controls the disease better while protecting quality of life.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–80 - NCT05147519Recruiting
Observes HIV and other infections to learn who gets them
This is an observational study that follows people to better understand how HIV and other infections (like sexually transmitted infections) happen and change over time. It may help researchers improve prevention and care, but it is mainly for monitoring rather than testing a new treatment.
Kericho, Kericho CountyAges 14–55 - NCT05148767RecruitingPhase 4
UGT1A1-guided irinotecan for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adjusting irinotecan treatment based on a person’s UGT1A1 gene test can improve outcomes for locally advanced rectal cancer. It focuses on people who are about to start (or continue) chemoradiation and do not have cancer spread to distant organs.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05155033RecruitingPhase 2
A trial of PD-1 plus aldesleukin for melanoma or kidney cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining anti–PD-1 treatment with aldesleukin can shrink or control metastatic melanoma or metastatic kidney (renal cell) cancer. It is mainly for people who have either not had anti–PD-1 before, or whose cancer did not respond to prior anti–PD-1 treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05155189RecruitingPhase 1
Armored CAR-T treatment for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early signs of effectiveness of an “armored” CAR-T cell therapy (C-CAR031) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). It may help by teaching the body’s immune cells to better recognize and attack the cancer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05159245RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug access for adults with advanced cancer
This trial helps match people with advanced, hard-to-treat cancers to targeted cancer drugs based on lab testing of their tumor. It may help if standard treatment isn’t working or isn’t available, and if your tumor has a “targetable” genetic change.
