Two types of targeted radiation for favorable prostate cancer
This trial tests whether two “ablative” (high-dose, focused) radiation treatments can work well for men with favorable-risk prostate cancer. It looks at whether the treatments are practical and safe, especially for urinary side effects.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT05913089RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new lung cancer drug with chemotherapy or an anti-angiogenesis pill
This Phase 2 trial tests TQB2450 (a new cancer medicine) added to chemotherapy, or along with an oral medicine called anlotinib, for stage II–IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people who are getting curative surgery and have not had prior cancer drug treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05926284Recruiting
Study of precision testing to guide treatment in advanced cancer
This study looks at how “precision medicine” testing on your tumor (or planning to do it) can help guide possible targeted treatments for advanced cancer. It is observational, meaning researchers mainly watch and record what happens as testing results become available.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05928429Recruiting
Cold treatment to prevent nerve pain from weekly paclitaxel
This trial tests whether cryotherapy (cooling the hands/feet during chemo) can prevent or lessen nerve pain caused by paclitaxel in people with early breast cancer. It may help you stay more comfortable and function better during treatment.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05430399RecruitingPhase 3
Utidelone vs docetaxel for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial compares utidelone with docetaxel in people with HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It aims to see which treatment works better and is safer for controlling the cancer and helping patients live longer.
Guangzhou, GangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05939661RecruitingPhase 2
Total treatment before surgery for early rectal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a “total neoadjuvant” approach, meaning you receive cancer treatment before surgery, to improve safety and effectiveness for rectal cancer. It may help by shrinking the tumor and planning a more effective operation, while researchers carefully track side effects.
OsakaAges 18 years+ - NCT05950087Recruiting
Blood tests after chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer prognosis
This study looks at blood markers—tiny DNA from the blood (cfDNA) and minimal residual disease (MRD)—to better predict outcomes after standard chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may help doctors identify who is more likely to do well and who may need closer follow-up or additional treatment planning.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–75 - NCT05709769Recruiting
Radiation-related nutrition therapy guided by scan features
This study looks at whether using scan “patterns” (radiomics) to detect malnutrition risk can guide nutrition therapy for people treated for cervical cancer. It may help improve tolerance of treatment and outcomes by targeting nutrition early.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05076942RecruitingPhase 2
Study of sentinel lymph nodes in vulvar cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at how vulvar squamous cell cancer (SCC) spreads to the sentinel lymph node, and how findings may guide treatment. It focuses on specific early-stage tumor features and requires that cancer is found in the sentinel lymph node.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04722692RecruitingPhase 3
Delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy for ductal cancer in situ
This trial tests whether doing a sentinel lymph node biopsy later (after breast surgery) is a safe, accurate way to check if cancer has spread. It uses a special tracking shot that helps find the lymph nodes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05976412Recruiting
Radiation to lymph nodes after surgery for higher-risk breast cancer
This trial looks at whether adding targeted radiation to lymph nodes after breast surgery can lower the chance of breast cancer coming back in people with higher-risk, node-negative disease. If you qualify, you may get a planned radiation approach designed for prevention, not treatment of spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05984485RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery vs chemo before surgery for low-risk rectal cancer
This trial compares two approaches for low-risk locally advanced rectal cancer: going straight to surgery (TME) versus receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if upfront surgery works just as well, sparing patients from chemotherapy side effects.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05983783RecruitingPhase 3
Testing two drug combinations for advanced prostate cancer
This trial compares two combinations of drugs for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that has a high tumor burden. One group gets rezvilutamide plus hormone therapy and chemotherapy, while the other gets rezvilutamide plus hormone therapy alone. The goal is to see which is more effective and safe.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40–80 - NCT05988060Recruiting
Exercise support during radiation for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether a structured exercise program during radiation therapy helps people with head and neck cancer feel better and stay stronger. You will do supervised exercises while you receive your usual cancer treatment.
Tilburg, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06011694Recruiting
The Jinling Cohort: a health monitoring study
This study tracks healthy adults in Nanjing over three years to see if routine checkups and blood tests can detect early signs of disease. Participants will give blood samples, fill out health questionnaires, and have yearly physicals.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 45–75 - NCT05993910Recruiting

This study collects information from cancer patients receiving hyperthermia treatment, which uses heat to help fight cancer. It helps doctors learn more about how well hyperthermia works and how safe it is.
BerlinAges Any age - NCT06000917RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combination therapy before surgery for ER+/HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapies and chemotherapy given before surgery for women with a specific type of breast cancer that is both ER-positive and HER2-positive. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05336539Recruiting
Community screening study for colorectal cancer using methylation testing
This study recruits adults in Yangzhou to help screen for colorectal cancer risk using a lab test based on “methylation,” a way cells can carry disease-related changes. You would mainly complete a risk questionnaire and phone follow-ups, and agree to share any cancer diagnosis information during the study.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 40–74 - NCT05841472RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer without EGFR or ALK
This Phase 2 trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab, combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin, can work better as first treatment for advanced lung cancer that has no EGFR or ALK gene changes. You may be able to join if you have measurable disease, good enough organ function, and meet other safety rules for immune treatment.
AnamAges 19–80 - NCT04728724RecruitingPhase 2
Check immune treatment before surgery for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests an “immunotherapy” medicine given before surgery for stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to shrink the cancer and make curative surgery more successful while monitoring safety and response.
