Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05917431RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus immunotherapy and targeted pills for liver cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination of SBRT (focused radiation) plus tislelizumab and regorafenib can control unresectable or limited-spread liver cancer. It may help by attacking tumors in the liver and immune system to improve shrinkage and control of disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06121505RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding low-dose radiation and a type of targeted radiation (SBRT) to a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and chemotherapy works better than immunotherapy and chemotherapy alone for people with advanced squamous cell lung cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06124976RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A new treatment for low-grade kidney/ureter cancer (ST-02)
This trial tests a new treatment called ST-02 that is given directly into the kidney or ureter to destroy low-grade cancer cells without surgery. It may be an option for people whose cancer has not spread and who are looking for a less invasive treatment.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05929365Recruiting
Test genetic marker tracking to find returning colon polyps
This study looks at stool or tissue DNA changes (called mutation analysis) plus colonoscopy findings to detect whether colon polyps come back. It may help catch recurrent colorectal lesions earlier during surveillance after a large polyp was removed.
PragueAges 18–75 - NCT06022965Recruiting
Telemedicine support for older adults with cancer
This study uses telemedicine (video or phone visits) to help older adults with cancer, especially those in underserved communities, get better care. If you're 65 or older and starting a new cancer treatment, you may be able to join from home in English, Spanish, or Chinese.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT06031805Recruiting
Real-world study of olaparib for prostate cancer
This study looks at how men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread are doing while taking the drug olaparib. Researchers want to understand how well the drug works and what happens to patients over time.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06125041RecruitingPhase 2
Adebelizumab with chemo and radiation for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Adebelizumab (an immunotherapy) combined with chemotherapy and radiation for people with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improves survival.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT05733689RecruitingPhase 1
Testing new pre-surgery treatment for stomach and esophagus cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests how well a tailored (response-adapted) chemotherapy plan works before surgery for stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to improve treatment planning while checking early safety.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05845801Recruiting
Study registry for young adults with pancreatic cancer
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information about young adults diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better understand this cancer in younger people and improve future care.
VeronaAges 18–55 - NCT05740839Recruiting
High-intensity exercise program for young brain tumor survivors
This pilot study tests whether a high-intensity interval exercise routine is safe and doable for young adult survivors of pediatric brain tumors. It may help you improve fitness and quality of life while researchers closely monitor safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT05738434RecruitingPhase 2
Testing immunotherapy plus targeted drug with short chemo for esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining camrelizumab (immunotherapy) and apatinib (a targeted drug) with short-course chemotherapy can control advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It may help by improving cancer response and slowing disease growth if you’re eligible and haven’t had prior whole-body (systemic) anti-cancer treatment.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05649852Recruiting
Testing how socio-aesthetic care may reduce anxiety during chemotherapy
This study looks at whether “socio-aesthetic” care (support that combines social and beauty/wellbeing elements) can lessen anxiety in people starting chemotherapy. It is designed for patients who are new to chemotherapy and can complete French questionnaires.
ValenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05652192RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus chemotherapy and immunotherapy for metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation (SBRT) to chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug can help people with metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer live longer and control tumors. It may help by combining local tumor treatment with whole-body immune support.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05681260RecruitingPhase 3
Methotrexate dose comparison for newly diagnosed T-cell lymphoma
This Phase 3 trial compares a higher dose of methotrexate versus an escalating (step-up) methotrexate plan in children newly diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. The goal is to see which dosing approach works better and is safe enough to use as standard treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1–18 - NCT05746442Recruiting

Phnom PenhAges 18 years+ - NCT05710679Recruiting
Blood test predicts leftover cancer after intensified head and neck radiation
This study uses a blood test to see whether cancer DNA is still detectable after a stronger combination of radiation and chemotherapy for locally advanced head and neck cancer. The goal is to predict who may have “residual” (remaining) disease and help guide future care.
Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-DômeAges 18–80 - NCT05678933Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Test adding a targeted drug to CHOP for untreated PTCL
This Phase 3 study compares two chemo options—CHOP alone versus CHOP plus AC—for people whose peripheral T-cell lymphoma is the “T-follicular helper” type (PTCL-TFH). The goal is to see which treatment works better for people who have not received lymphoma treatment yet.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05649943Recruiting
New prostate cancer treatment plus local therapy for metastatic cases
