East Palestine chemical exposure and genetic change study
This study looks at whether the chemical spill in East Palestine in 2023 caused changes in people's genes. It involves giving a blood or saliva sample to measure any tiny genetic changes linked to the exposure. It helps researchers understand long-term health risks.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06232213Recruiting

This trial tests a personalized approach to treating advanced ovarian or endometrial cancers that have come back or stopped responding to standard treatments. It uses a special model to guide which therapy might work best for you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06199479RecruitingPhase 1
Using imaging to tell real tumor growth from treatment effects
This trial uses special imaging to tell the difference between real brain tumor growth and a treatment reaction that looks like a tumor. It may help you and your doctor decide if a biopsy is needed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06196736RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new drug to chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, 9MW2821, against standard chemotherapy for people with advanced bladder cancer that has gotten worse after previous treatments. It aims to see if the new drug works better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06195384RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized mRNA vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine made from your tumor's unique markers (neoantigens) to train your immune system to fight cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have not had gene therapy and are healthy enough for the vaccine.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06162767Recruiting
Surgery comparison for junction cancer

Chemo plus radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer with normal CA19-9
This trial tests whether giving a strong chemotherapy combination (mFOLFIRINOX) together with radiation therapy can help people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have normal CA19-9 levels. It aims to see if this approach is more effective for this specific group of patients.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT05888571Recruiting
Testing pre-chest breast reconstruction with or without mesh
This study looks at whether adding mesh (a supportive material) improves results in breast reconstruction placed in front of the chest. It may help some people heal better and get a more comfortable shape, but it depends on your surgery plan and health factors.
