CórdobaAges 18 years+ - NCT04197414Recruiting
Urology DNA registry to personalize cancer care
This study builds a urology cancer “DNA registry” by analyzing circulating tumor DNA found in the blood. Your information and permission help researchers better personalize treatment for cancers like prostate, kidney, bladder, and ureter cancer.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT04836156RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized pre-surgery treatment for HER2-negative early breast cancer
This study tests a treatment plan chosen using lab drug testing on a patient’s tumor (in a dish). It may help improve outcomes for people with early breast cancer that is HER2-negative by matching therapy to what the tumor seems sensitive to.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT03972956Recruiting
Collecting samples during cancer or surgery visits
This trial looks at collecting (taking) medical samples from people who need surgery for colorectal cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer, or a non-cancer condition. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve how treatment is planned.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT05227534Recruiting
Test for early cancer signals in people without symptoms
This trial checks whether a blood test can detect early signs of multiple cancers in people who feel well. It may help find cancer earlier, when treatment is more likely to work.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 40–75 - NCT05541367Recruiting
ER PET/CT scan test for breast cancer
This trial studies how well an ER PET/CT scan can image breast cancer. It may help doctors see whether a cancer has estrogen receptor (ER) activity, which can guide treatment planning.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05566249Recruiting
Safety study of ArtiSential during rectal cancer surgery
This trial checks whether a tool called ArtiSential can be used safely and practically during planned rectal cancer operations. It may help the surgical team prepare and perform the operation more smoothly, but the main goal is safety and feasibility.
SeoulAges 18–80 - NCT04527861Recruiting
Minimally invasive single-incision surgery for colon cancer
This trial compares a single-incision laparoscopic operation versus the usual laparoscopic operation for colorectal (colon or “high rectum”) cancer. It looks at cancer outcomes and may help determine which approach is safer and works better for the right patients.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–85 - NCT04688801Recruiting
Chemo plus immunotherapy after surgery for esophageal cancer
This study looks at adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy after surgery for certain esophageal or EG-junction cancers. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, for people whose cancer can be fully removed.
Jinan, ShandongAges 25–80 - NCT05537922Recruiting
Study uses data to tailor lung cancer care with immunotherapy
This study collects and analyzes medical information (and sometimes tissue samples) to help personalize treatment plans for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer using immunotherapy. It may help researchers find which people benefit most and how treatment can be better matched to each patient.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03621904Recruiting
Predicting response to hormone treatment in endometrial cancer
This study looks at whether biopsy test results can help predict how well hormone therapy will work for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. It may help doctors choose the most effective hormonal treatment sooner.
NijmegenAges 18–110 - NCT05696002Recruiting
Track outcomes after advanced pelvic cancer surgery
This study follows people who have advanced pelvic cancer surgery that removes more than one pelvic organ. It’s an observational study, meaning it mainly collects data to help improve how future surgeries and care are planned.
GlasgowAges Any age - NCT04625556Recruiting
Urology cancer registry study using body microbiome data
This study builds a patient registry for prostate, kidney, bladder, and ureter cancers by analyzing your body’s microbiome (the microbes living in/ on the body). It may help doctors personalize care in the future, and your participation mainly involves allowing your medical and related information to be used for research.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT05840575Recruiting
Study of thinking changes in young people during cancer treatment
This study looks at how thinking and memory may change in children and young adults after a new cancer diagnosis, especially around chemotherapy. It may help doctors better understand and track brain-related side effects early.
CopenhagenAges 7–29 - NCT05862740Recruiting
Surgery study for advanced ovarian cancer after chemotherapy
This study looks at how well a minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic debulking) can remove tumor in people with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. It may help doctors compare whether this approach is safe and effective for patients who need either upfront surgery or surgery after chemotherapy.
Padova, Padova, VenetoAges 18 years+ - NCT05870969Recruiting
Digital monitoring to catch liver cancer risk early
This study tests a digital (computer/phone-based) system to help track people with higher risk of liver cancer so cancers can be found earlier. It may help by guiding regular check-ins and making early diagnosis more efficient.
