Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT05810402Recruiting
Testing immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer using blood tests
This study looks at how well immune-checkpoint therapy (a PD-1 or PD-L1 immunotherapy) works for advanced liver cancer, using “liquid biopsy” blood testing to guide or monitor care. It may help your team better track your cancer and response without needing repeated tissue biopsies.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06287749Recruiting
Liquid biopsy for monitoring pancreatic cancer after surgery
This trial is testing a blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tiny traces of cancer DNA after surgery for pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors understand if the cancer is likely to come back.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT06379087RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation, immunotherapy and targeted therapy for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy before surgery, followed by the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab and the targeted therapy drug anlotinib after surgery, for people with stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients whose tumors can be removed surgically.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06615349Recruiting
Digital monitoring for palliative care patients
This trial tests whether using a smartphone app to track your symptoms and health data can improve care and quality of life for people with serious illnesses who are receiving palliative care.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06828380RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with or without radiation for liver cancer
This trial tests whether using immunotherapy alone works as well as immunotherapy combined with radiation for liver cancer that has spread into major blood vessels. The goal is to find the best treatment option for people with this specific type of advanced liver cancer.
GoyangAges 19 years+ - NCT06830720Recruiting
Kisqali with hormone therapy for early-stage breast cancer
This study looks at how well Kisqali (ribociclib) combined with hormone therapy works after surgery for people with early-stage HR+ HER2- breast cancer that has a high chance of coming back. It aims to gather real-world data on different treatment options.
Wiener Neustadt, Lower AustriaAges 18–100 - NCT06830265Recruiting
Comparing a new biopsy needle to the standard one for prostate cancer
This study tests a new, specially designed biopsy needle system against the standard needle system used for prostate biopsies. The researchers will compare how well each system collects tissue samples from men who have suspicious MRI findings, to see if the new needle might give better results.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06833073RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an mRNA vaccine and BCG for bladder cancer
This trial tests an experimental mRNA vaccine (V940) combined with BCG therapy for people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to see if the vaccine can help the immune system better fight the cancer.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06828328RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene-edited TIL therapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called GC203 TIL, which uses your own immune cells (TILs) that have been gene-edited to fight pancreatic cancer. It is for people whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments and who are healthy enough to undergo this therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05033301Recruiting
Nurse Ned Clinic support for prostate cancer survivors
This study tests a nurse-led clinic (“Nurse Ned Clinic”) to see how well it supports men after curative (potentially curative) prostate cancer treatment. It may help you manage follow-up care during survivorship if you are at low risk of cancer coming back.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06835049RecruitingPhase 2
Heating therapy before surgery for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a new approach for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma of the arm, leg, or trunk. Before surgery, you would receive chemotherapy combined with local hyperthermia (a treatment that gently heats the tumor area) to see if this can improve outcomes.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT06831669Recruiting
Predicting rectal cancer treatment response and side effects
