BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05550415RecruitingPhase 2
Simvastatin with chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding simvastatin (a cholesterol medicine) can slow or change how breast cancer spreads in triple-negative breast cancer. It compares outcomes while you receive planned chemotherapy, and you may or may not be taking simvastatin as part of the study treatment.
Jakarta Pusat, DKI JakartaAges 18 years+ - NCT05551208RecruitingPhase 2
Fluzoparib with bevacizumab for ovarian cancer after prior PARP therapy
This trial tests whether adding fluzoparib to bevacizumab can help control ovarian cancer that has returned after earlier PARP inhibitor (PARPi) treatment. It may help shrink tumors or slow the cancer from growing again.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05554276RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiation for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests whether chemotherapy plus an immune treatment called PD-1, along with radiation, can help people with cervical cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It’s aimed at locally advanced, unresectable cervical squamous cell cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT05556603Recruiting
Blood test trial to detect pancreatic cancer early
This trial studies whether a blood-based test can help detect pancreatic cancer (or strong signs of it) earlier than usual. The goal is to see how well “liquid biopsy” results match real diagnoses and risk levels.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40–75 - NCT05557045RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of an oral pill for MAPK-driven advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests an oral investigational medicine (JZP815) to see how safe it is, the best dose, and whether it can shrink tumors. It’s for adults with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have a specific MAPK pathway genetic change.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05557552Recruiting
Chemo and immunotherapy plus chest radiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial studies a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation to the chest for people with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It may help by delivering anti-cancer drugs while also shrinking tumors with targeted radiation, especially for people who are not able to have the standard “chemo and radiation at the same time.”
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05557487Recruiting
Real-world low-dose CT screening for people at high lung risk
This study looks at how people at high risk for lung cancer use low-dose CT scans in real life, and what outcomes happen over time. It may help confirm which groups benefit most from regular screening and support safer screening decisions.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 20–80 - NCT05558904RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET/CT scan to help find early lung cancer
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan to spot early lung cancer by finding specific body processes linked to cancer. It compares scan results in people with lung nodules that are either cancer (lung adenocarcinoma) or likely benign.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05559411Recruiting
Tests ways to find different breast lesions before surgery
This trial looks at different methods doctors can use to locate a breast lesion using imaging, so it can be removed accurately during breast-conserving surgery. It may help your care team choose the best localization approach for your type and location of lesion.
LübeckAges 18 years+ - NCT05559853Recruiting
MRI scan study to track brain tumor changes after treatment
This study tests a new MRI (brain scan) method to see how brain tumors change over time after treatment. There are also parts for healthy adults to help with developing and comparing the scan technique.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05568680RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial of SynKIR-110 for certain ovarian and lung-lining cancers
This Phase 1 study tests SynKIR-110 in people with certain advanced cancers that have come back or continued growing after prior treatments. It aims to find out if the treatment is safe and how the body responds, including early signs of effectiveness.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05571644RecruitingPhase 2
Study compares two pre-surgery treatments for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a newer combination chemotherapy plus an immunotherapy medicine (cadonilimab/AK104) works better than standard chemotherapy before surgery for locally advanced colorectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve how well treatment works after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05572801Recruiting
Tumor DNA blood tests to guide follow-up after anal cancer
This study tests whether regular blood tests looking for “tumor DNA” can help guide your follow-up care after anal cancer treatment. It may help doctors decide what type of monitoring you need during check-ups.
Herlev, Capital Region of DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT05574647Recruiting
Fast prostate MRI and guided biopsy testing for prostate cancer
This study checks whether a faster prostate MRI and image-matching (image-fusion) can better find suspicious spots so doctors can target a biopsy. If you have concerning prostate exam results or PSA blood test results, you may get an MRI and, if something looks suspicious, a biopsy using MRI images.
Southend-on-Sea, EssexAges 18 years+ - NCT05576480RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before surgery for rectal cancer without mismatch repair
This Phase 2 study tests penpulimab (an immunotherapy medicine) given with CAPEOX chemotherapy before surgery for rectal cancer that is “MSS” (not the mismatch-repair type). It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by treating before the operation.
Shanghai, None SelectedAges 18–75 - NCT05576831Recruiting
Testing HPV and p53 to guide vulvar cancer surgery
This study looks at two tumor test results—HPV and p53—to help doctors decide how much tissue to remove during surgery for vulvar squamous cell carcinoma. It’s meant to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back while avoiding unnecessary removal when margins are only close.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05577143Recruiting
Blood test screening for colorectal cancer
This study checks whether a blood test can help identify colorectal cancer or precancerous growths. You would have a planned colonoscopy, and researchers compare the blood test results to what the colonoscopy finds.
LilleAges 18–75 - NCT05578053Recruiting
Dalpiciclib for hormone receptor–positive advanced breast cancer
This trial studies whether dalpiciclib can slow down or control advanced hormone receptor–positive breast cancer and assess how safe it is. It’s for people whose cancer has come back in a limited way or spread and can’t be fully cured with surgery or radiation.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05579353Recruiting
Study stool and blood markers in colorectal cancer treatment planning
This study looks at special tiny cell-signal particles (called exosomes) and related pathways to understand colorectal cancer. Your results from samples may help researchers learn how these signals relate to the disease after surgery.
Jinan, LixiaAges 18–80 - NCT05582772Recruiting
