Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06120387Recruiting
Radiation after kidney-sparing surgery for high-risk ureteral cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy after surgery that removes only part of the ureter or the entire kidney and ureter helps prevent cancer from coming back in patients who have high-risk features like aggressive cell type or deep tumor invasion.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04073706RecruitingPhase 3
Checking lymph nodes with a tracer during endometrial cancer surgery
This trial tests a “sentinel node” biopsy, using a special dye/tracer, during surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer. It may help doctors find whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes while possibly avoiding more extensive lymph node removal.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06938399Recruiting
Motiva Breast Implants Safety Study
This study follows women who receive Motiva silicone breast implants for either a first-time augmentation or a replacement of previous implants. It will track safety and outcomes over time to confirm the implants work well.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT03872661RecruitingPhase 2
New lung cancer medicines before surgery for unresectable stage III
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of IBI308 plus bevacizumab and pemetrexed/carboplatin given before surgery, aiming to shrink or control unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. It may help some people become eligible for surgery and improve outcomes, while also testing safety and effectiveness.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06652009Recruiting
Radiation vs surgery for kidney and ureter cancer
This study compares two treatments for cancer of the kidney pelvis or ureter: radiation therapy (using high-energy beams) versus surgery. It is for people who cannot have surgery for medical reasons and want to see if radiation could be a good alternative.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT04460352RecruitingPhase 3
Esophageal cancer treatment with chemoradiation plus planned surgery
This trial tests the best way to treat locally advanced squamous cell esophageal cancer: either chemoradiation followed by planned surgery, or monitoring with surgery only if needed. It may help you choose a strategy that controls the cancer while aiming to reduce unnecessary procedures.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–80 - NCT07182682RecruitingPhase 3
Sunvozertinib after surgery for early-stage NSCLC with certain EGFR mutations
This trial tests the drug sunvozertinib given after surgery to see if it prevents lung cancer from coming back. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that has specific changes in the EGFR gene (exon20 insertion or PACC mutations).
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT03125980RecruitingPhase 3
