Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT05963464Recruiting
Marker-assisted breast surgery for hard-to-feel tumors
This study tests a small implantable “marker” system (used to help doctors find the tumor or lymph node during breast surgery) for people with breast or lymph node areas that can’t be felt. It may help surgery planning and accuracy when the cancer can’t be easily located by touch.
MilanAges 18–90 - NCT05967182RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before or around liver surgery
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin given around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, potentially operable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver). It may help by strengthening the immune system while also treating the cancer with chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05967689RecruitingPhase 2
Zipalertinib for lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 mutations
This Phase 2 trial tests zipalertinib (a targeted pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR mutations, especially “exon 20 insertions.” It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, including in some people with brain metastases.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05968417Recruiting
Study of new lab tests using blood or bone marrow samples for myeloma

SuttonAges 18 years+ - NCT05970497RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
KB707 trial for advanced solid tumors after other treatments
This early-stage trial tests KB707 in people with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded well to standard treatments. If you qualify, you may receive KB707 to see how well it can shrink tumors or control the disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05970705RecruitingPhase 2
Regorafenib plus TAS-102 versus regorafenib alone for advanced bowel cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding TAS-102 to regorafenib works better than regorafenib by itself for metastatic colorectal cancer after at least one prior treatment has stopped working. It aims to improve how long the cancer can be controlled for patients in later treatment lines.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05973864RecruitingPhase 2
Capecitabine plus pembrolizumab after TNBC surgery and chemo
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding capecitabine to pembrolizumab after surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back in people with triple-negative breast cancer that didn’t fully respond to earlier treatment. It’s meant for patients whose tumor was removed but still showed remaining cancer after chemo-immunotherapy.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05974475Recruiting
Personalized modeling during targeted lung radiation for early cancer
This trial studies how detailed tests (“multi-omics” modeling) can improve how doctors plan and deliver stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It may help make treatment planning more precise for cancers in stages I–II.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05975775Recruiting
Laparoscopic prostate surgery for localized cancer, as an outpatient
This trial looks at a planned, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) prostate removal for men with localized prostate cancer done as an outpatient. It aims to understand how this approach fits into care after discussion by a group of specialists.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05977621Recruiting
Ultrasound imaging to guide radiation needle placement
This trial tests a guidance technique that uses ultrasound images matched to MRI (a real-time “map”) to help track the needle position during treatment for cervical or uterine cancer. It may help make radiation treatments more precise for people who are getting curative-intent radiation with brachytherapy.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–90 - NCT05977803Recruiting
MRI study of brain radiation injury in lung cancer
This study looks at how a specific kind of MRI picture (called the CEST sequence) can help characterize radiation-related brain injury and changes in brain metastases from lung cancer. It may help doctors better interpret follow-up scans after radiation, without changing your cancer treatment.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05977907RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pembrolizumab and an investigational drug (IO102-103) given before surgery for certain non-bulky head and neck squamous cell cancers. The goal is to shrink the cancer and improve chances of cure by treating it before the operation.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05977998RecruitingPhase 2
Paclitaxel given during surgery for stomach cancer spread to the belly
This trial studies whether adding paclitaxel chemotherapy around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It targets cancers confirmed by testing of belly fluid or by laparoscopy/laparotomy, and may help by treating cancer cells right at the time of surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05978141Recruiting
T-cell lymphoma registry study
This study creates a registry for people with certain T-cell or NK-cell lymphomas. It collects health information and tumor samples to learn more about these diseases and improve future treatments.
