Study drug for certain colon cancers with MSI-H or dMMR
This Phase 2 trial tests KN035 in people with advanced or spread-out tumors that have specific genetic markers (MSI-H or dMMR). If you qualify, the study team will look at how well the drug works and how it affects side effects in that group.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03671252RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for rectal cancer vs chemo with radiation
This Phase 3 trial compares two treatment plans given before rectal surgery. It tests whether stronger chemotherapy alone works better than chemotherapy pills plus long-term radiation to improve outcomes for locally advanced rectal cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03715933RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug INBRX-109 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests INBRX-109, a cancer-targeting drug, in people whose solid cancers are locally advanced or spread to other parts of the body. Because it’s Phase 1, the main goal is to see whether it’s safe and how well it can work for different tumor types that meet specific requirements.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 12–85 - NCT03736863RecruitingPhase 2
Testing combinations of medicines for advanced throat cancer
This trial tests a combination of medicines to treat advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (throat/esophagus cancer) that cannot be removed by surgery and has spread or come back. It is for people whose first treatment (chemotherapy or immunotherapy) did not work well or was not tolerated.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT03740256RecruitingPhase 1
HER2-targeted oncolytic virus plus custom immune cells for solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan that combines a virus designed to attack cancer with your own custom immune cells that target HER2. It aims to shrink advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (and make future options safer/more effective).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03742687Recruiting
Testing a shorter, stronger radiation schedule for lung cancer
This trial studies a different way to deliver radiation to people with locally advanced, non-operable non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by aiming to treat the tumor effectively with a different radiation timing and dose pattern.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT03748485Recruiting
Chemo after surgery for certain stage III colon cancer
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery helps people with colon cancer that was diagnosed before surgery as stage III and later found to be without certain high-risk features. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, but you must meet specific surgery and health criteria.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03755739RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Checkpoint cancer drug given into or near tumors
This trial studies whether giving immunotherapy “checkpoint inhibitor” medicine directly into the tumor area (and/or the artery feeding it), along with a chemotherapy-style drug, can work better for advanced solid tumors. It aims to boost the immune system’s ability to attack cancer while still being safe for people with measurable tumors.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT03769129Recruiting
Pembrolizumab plus lung ablation for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether combining pembrolizumab (an immune treatment) with a lung ablation procedure can be safer and more effective for advanced non-small cell lung cancer after standard first treatment fails or the cancer comes back. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT03767075RecruitingPhase 2
Basket trial matching cancer patients to targeted treatments
This trial tests whether matching your tumor’s DNA/RNA results to a specific cancer medicine can work better than standard options when cancer has spread or can’t be removed by surgery. You may be assigned to a “basket” (sub-study) based on the exact changes found in your tumor.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03825861RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery chemotherapy for locally advanced stomach cancer
This Phase 2 study tests chemotherapy given before surgery (called FOLFIRINOX) for people with locally advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes after the surgery plan is completed.
São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT03836196Recruiting
Improve treatment for advanced prostate cancer with careful planning
This study looks at how to best plan and deliver treatment for men with advanced local prostate cancer. It may help find the most effective approach while keeping side effects manageable.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 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+ - NCT03855800Recruiting
Test to detect risky changes in pancreatic cysts
This study looks for molecular (lab) signals that may show advanced or higher-risk changes in certain pancreatic cysts. It may help doctors better sort which cysts are more concerning and may need closer attention.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–120 - NCT03875781RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo before rectal surgery, without pelvic radiation
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving chemotherapy before rectal surgery can work as well as standard treatment that usually includes pelvic radiation. It aims to reduce the need for pelvic radiation while still keeping the cancer under control.
Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT03880422Recruiting
Exercise and nutrition for weight and frailty after prostate cancer treatment
