FAPI PET scan for aggressive colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial uses a special PET scan (FAPI) to detect a specific, more aggressive type of colorectal cancer (CMS4) in people who have liver tumors that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the scan can help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06864572Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
New imaging tracer for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a new radioactive tracer that may help doctors see and treat prostate cancer that has spread. The tracer attaches to cancer cells so they show up on scans, and may also help guide treatment.
BeijingAges 18–85 - NCT06756334RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing Two PET/CT Scans for Prostate Cancer
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which one is better at finding prostate cancer, detecting if it has come back, or spotting spread to other parts of the body. You will get both scans so doctors can compare them directly.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–90 - NCT04466059Recruiting
AI tool for leukemia diagnosis using blood or marrow samples
This study tests whether an AI (computer system) can help improve leukemia and related blood cancer diagnoses. You may be able to help if your doctor is already evaluating you for a possible blood disorder and your sample is high enough quality for testing.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06446882Recruiting
HER2DX test to guide treatment for early HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests whether a new test (HER2DX) can help doctors choose the best treatment combination for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. It's for people whose cancer hasn't spread and who haven't started therapy yet.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT07076979Recruiting
Metabolic biomarkers for stomach cancer detection and monitoring
This study looks for metabolic markers in your blood and tumor tissue to help find stomach cancer early, predict your prognosis, and watch for recurrence. If you qualify, you would give blood and tumor samples for testing.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07068529Recruiting
Metabolic biomarkers for early diagnosis and recurrence of colorectal cancer
This study looks at metabolic biomarkers in blood and tumor tissue to help detect colorectal cancer earlier, predict outcomes, and monitor for recurrence. It includes both people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer and healthy volunteers for comparison.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07026110Recruiting
PET/CT for distinguishing non-small cell lung cancer
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to better tell if a lung nodule is non-small cell lung cancer. If you have a solid nodule in your lung that's at least 8 mm and might be cancer, this scan could help get a clearer diagnosis.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06584279Recruiting
MRI-targeted biopsy for first-time prostate cancer screening
This trial is testing a new way to do prostate biopsies by combining MRI findings with a targeted biopsy on the same side as the suspicious area. It is for men who have not had a biopsy before and have a moderately high PSA level.
