SeoulAges 60 years+ - NCT07635342RecruitingPhase 2
Pyrotinib plus trastuzumab and chemotherapy for HER2-positive early breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—pyrotinib, trastuzumab, and chemotherapy—to treat HER2-positive breast cancer that has not been treated before. HER2 is a protein found on some cancer cells; blocking it may help stop the cancer from growing.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–65 - NCT07637448RecruitingPhase 2
EGFR-targeted therapy plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests combining two types of cancer drugs—a targeted pill that attacks a specific mutation in your lung cancer cells, followed by an immunotherapy injection when your tumor stops shrinking. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07635836Recruiting
Two surgical approaches for upper stomach cancer
This trial compares two different surgical techniques for removing upper stomach cancer. The study tests which reconstruction method—double-tract or tubular—leads to better outcomes and quality of life after surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07636798RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Chemotherapy and immunotherapy combination for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments—chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver, plus two immunotherapy drugs—for advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment and is safe for patients.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07637474Recruiting
Immune System and Lung Cancer Response to Immunotherapy
This study looks at how your immune system works in non-small cell lung cancer and whether it predicts how well you'll respond to a type of immunotherapy called anti-PD-1/PD-L1 drugs. Researchers will study your tumor tissue to understand why some patients benefit more than others.
Rome, RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07631572Recruiting
Cesium implant radiation for recurrent cervical or uterine cancer
This study tests a type of internal radiation (cesium implant) to treat cancer that has come back in the vagina after previous pelvic radiation. The goal is to save the organ while treating the cancer.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT07632079RecruitingPhase 2
Fast-Track Radiation and Chemotherapy for Esophageal Cancer
This study tests a shorter course of combined radiation therapy and chemotherapy (using drugs called paclitaxel and carboplatin) to treat esophageal cancer with the goal of curing it. The faster treatment schedule may help patients finish therapy sooner while still being effective.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07631624Recruiting
Blood test for lung cancer screening in smokers and former smokers
This study tests whether a simple blood test that detects smoking-related changes in DNA can help identify who should get lung cancer screening. Researchers want to see if this test is better at finding people at risk than current methods.
