New drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of targeted therapies for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a certain genetic pattern (non-MSI-H, no BRAF V600E mutation). It aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06941948Recruiting
Sleep and immune system in lung cancer
This study looks at how sleep problems affect your body's immune response to lung cancer. It aims to find links between sleep and the tumor environment, which could help improve treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT06008899Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency for cancer anal pain
This trial tests a treatment called pulsed radiofrequency applied through a small needle near the tailbone (caudal epidural) to see if it can help relieve cancer-related anal or perineal pain. It may be an option if you have this type of pain and are in reasonably good health aside from your cancer.
AsyutAges 18–60 - NCT06935448Recruiting
Recovery program for pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests a special recovery program called Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) for people having planned open surgery for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if this program helps patients recover faster and with fewer complications after their operation.
