Recruiting studies
- NCT06378892RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chemo plus lorlatinib for ALK+ lung cancer
This trial tests combining chemotherapy with lorlatinib for people with ALK-positive lung cancer that has spread outside the brain while on lorlatinib. The goal is to see if adding chemo can help control the cancer when it starts growing again.
AvianoAges 18 years+ - NCT06361043Recruiting
Adaptive radiation therapy for esophageal cancer
This study tests a new, more precise type of radiation therapy for esophageal cancer that adjusts the treatment in real time using a special CT scan. It aims to deliver a stronger dose to the tumor while sparing healthy tissue, which could improve outcomes.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05345587Recruiting
Digital monitoring plus proactive medication review during oral cancer treatment
This trial tests whether combining regular medication safety checks with electronic tracking of side effects can improve quality of life and help reduce economic burden for people taking cancer pills. It’s for people starting oral cancer therapy and using connected technology to report symptoms.
Brive-la-GaillardeAges 18 years+ - NCT06300177RecruitingPhase 3
New targeted pill vs. chemotherapy for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted pill (D-1553) against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (KRAS G12C mutation) whose cancer has stopped responding to first-line immunotherapy and chemotherapy.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06385717Recruiting
ESD plus chemoradiotherapy for early esophageal cancer
This study tests whether combining radiation and chemotherapy after endoscopic removal of early-stage esophageal cancer can effectively treat the cancer without needing surgery. It may be an option for people whose cancer was removed with ESD but who want to avoid additional surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05797831RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Maintenance treatment for TP53-wildtype endometrial cancer
This trial tests navtemadlin as a maintenance (ongoing) treatment to help prevent endometrial cancer from coming back after chemotherapy works. It is mainly for people whose cancer has certain genetic features (TP53 “wildtype”) and who had a strong response to first-line taxane–platinum chemo.
Vallejo, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06401304Recruiting
Value-based breast surgery outcomes study
This study looks at how well breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) works for women with breast cancer or other breast conditions. It will track how you feel, how you look, and your overall satisfaction to help improve future care.
SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT06368063RecruitingPhase 4
Huaier granules after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a Chinese herbal medicine called Huaier granules works better than standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that was removed by surgery. Participants can choose to take Huaier granules or standard chemotherapy, and researchers will compare outcomes.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–80 - NCT06404697RecruitingPhase 2
Extra radiation to lymph nodes above collarbone for high-risk breast cancer
This trial tests giving a focused, higher dose of radiation to the lymph nodes above the collarbone after breast cancer treatment. It is for patients whose cancer did not fully disappear from those nodes after pre-surgery chemotherapy, to see if extra radiation can help prevent recurrence.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06404671Recruiting
Timing of surgery after chemo for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether waiting longer between chemotherapy and surgery affects outcomes for advanced ovarian cancer. It is for women who have had three cycles of chemo and whose disease can be removed surgically.
AlexandriaAges 18–75 - NCT05397262Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment with radiation plus heat therapy
This trial studies adding “heat treatment” (hyperthermia) to standard bladder cancer care using radiation, sometimes with chemotherapy. It may help the radiation work better, but your eligibility depends on cancer stage, your general health, and certain heart and metal-safety issues.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT05842629Recruiting
Better ways to diagnose ovarian cancer
This study focuses on improving diagnosis of ovarian cancer. If you have an abnormal mass seen on ultrasound near the ovaries, the researchers may evaluate how best to identify whether it could be ovarian cancer.
AarhusAges Any age - NCT05763511Recruiting
Blood test to help diagnose ovarian cancer sooner
This study checks whether a special blood test (circulating tumor DNA) can help find ovarian cancer when it’s suspected. It may help doctors diagnose more accurately and sooner, so the right treatment can start sooner.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06405945Recruiting
Cervical cancer risk study for average-risk adults
This study aims to better understand who is most likely to develop cervical cancer. It uses a simple blood test and follow-up during colposcopy to improve screening for people at average risk.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06313086RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs. T-DM1 for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new antibody-drug conjugate (DP303c) against an existing one, T-DM1, in people with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer who have already been treated with trastuzumab and a taxane. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05494086Recruiting
Laparoscopic stomach surgery for early gastric cancer
This study looks at a surgical technique (“dual-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy”) for people with stomach adenocarcinoma at an early, specific stage. The goal is to remove the tumor with clean margins (called an “R0” result) and see how this approach works safely.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06410651RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab with chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests adding the targeted drug nimotuzumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with esophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help shrink the tumor or stop it from growing further.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05927584Recruiting
Local removal for early rectal cancer without extra treatment
This trial studies removing an early rectal cancer tumor locally (through the rectum/anal area) with no additional therapy afterward. The goal is to preserve organs and maintain quality of life while still trying to cure the cancer.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06413992RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus fluzoparib for TP53-mutated endometrial cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, camrelizumab (an immunotherapy) and fluzoparib (a PARP inhibitor), for people with a specific type of endometrial cancer that has a TP53 gene mutation. It may offer a new option for advanced or recurrent disease after limited prior treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05646550RecruitingPhase 1
Antibody CC-1 for men with returning prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests an antibody drug (CC-1) for men whose prostate cancer has come back, based on rising PSA blood tests. It looks at safety and how the treatment affects cancer activity, especially whether it can help control early biochemical recurrence.
TübingenAges 18 years+ - NCT06019130RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) can help treat nasopharyngeal cancer in both children and adults. It is for people who have just been diagnosed and have not yet received any cancer treatment.
AachenAges 3 years+ - NCT06216496Recruiting
Amino acid changes in advanced ovarian cancer
This study looks at how ovarian cancer changes the body's use of amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins. It may help find new ways to monitor or treat the disease.
La TroncheAges 40–70 - NCT06167967Recruiting
Blood test for chemotherapy guidance in stage 3 colorectal cancer
This study uses a blood test to check for tumor DNA after surgery, which may help doctors decide if you need additional chemotherapy. It is for people with stage 3 colorectal cancer that is removed by surgery.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06420427Recruiting
Blood test to predict cervical cancer return after surgery
This trial uses a simple blood test to look for cancer DNA (ctDNA) and HPV DNA after cervical cancer surgery. The goal is to detect any return of the cancer early, so you and your doctor can act quickly.
