Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06477991Recruiting
No surgery after immunotherapy for MSI-H colorectal cancer
This trial is studying whether some people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSI-H/dMMR) might be able to skip surgery after immunotherapy. Doctors will use a blood test (MRD monitoring) to track the cancer, and then decide whether to keep an eye on it or operate.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07819526Recruiting
Watching recovery after stroke in people with cancer
This study looks at what happens to people who have a stroke while they also have active cancer. By tracking their recovery, doctors hope to learn better ways to care for patients with both conditions.
Suita, OsakaAges Any age - NCT07823660Recruiting
Heart-healthy exercise during breast cancer chemotherapy
This study tests a supervised exercise program for people with breast cancer who are about to start or are already in chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this type of rehabilitation helps keep your heart strong and improves your overall well-being during treatment.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–65 - NCT07820423Recruiting
AI tool predicts high-risk lung cancer linked to air-filled spaces
This study uses artificial intelligence to examine CT scans and predict whether lung cancer containing air-filled spaces is aggressive. It may help doctors tailor treatment after surgery.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07822646RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new treatment for advanced ovarian cancer
This study tests a new combination treatment for people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has progressed after at least two prior treatments. The aim is to see if this treatment can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07824479Recruiting
Pre-surgery immunotherapy for advanced stomach cancer
This study tests whether giving immunotherapy before surgery can help shrink advanced stomach cancer and improve outcomes. Immunotherapy uses your body's own immune system to fight cancer cells.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06485271Recruiting
Camrelizumab for advanced gastric cancer
This trial tests a drug called camrelizumab, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced stomach cancer that has worsened or returned. It aims to see how well this treatment works in real-world patients.
Changzhi, ShanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06339060RecruitingPhase 3
Chemoradiation and immunotherapy to save the esophagus
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy to standard chemoradiation (chemotherapy plus radiation) can help preserve the esophagus and avoid surgery in people with resectable esophageal cancer. It aims to see if this combination is safer and more effective than current treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06483347RecruitingPhase 2
