Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06082180RecruitingPhase 3
Preventive neck lymph node removal in low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It compares two surgical approaches: one that removes just the thyroid gland, and another that also removes some lymph nodes in the center of the neck as a preventive measure. The goal is to see if removing these lymph nodes helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05985109RecruitingPhase 2
KN 046 plus regorafenib for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, KN 046 and regorafenib, in people with a type of advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the tumor.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05551416Recruiting
Study to detect and prevent early stomach cancer
This study looks for early warning changes in the stomach and aims to improve early detection and prevention. Depending on your situation, you may be grouped as having stomach symptoms, early lesions that might be removed, already-diagnosed stomach cancer, or a comparison group without stomach problems.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT06102772Recruiting
Combination immunotherapy and targeted therapy for advanced gastric cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—adebrelimab (an immunotherapy), fruquintinib (a targeted therapy to cut off blood supply to the tumor), and a chemotherapy (paclitaxel or albumin-bound paclitaxel)—in people with advanced stomach/gastric cancer whose disease has worsened after one prior chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new mix can help control the cancer.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06102785Recruiting
Fruquintinib plus TAS102 for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, fruquintinib and TAS102, for people with advanced stomach cancer that has stopped responding to at least one prior chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06102759Recruiting
Study of adebrelimab and fruquintinib plus chemo for advanced stomach cancer after PD-1 failure
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (adebrelimab and fruquintinib) plus chemotherapy (paclitaxel or albumin-bound paclitaxel) for people with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer whose disease progressed after prior PD-1 antibody treatment. The goal is to see if this new combination can help when standard options have stopped working.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05494060RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant chemo plus immunotherapy for ctDNA-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding an anti-cancer immune treatment and another targeted drug to standard chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of cancer coming back. It is for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows leftover cancer-related DNA after surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06032975Recruiting
Fighting fatigue with a patient-reported tool in ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether using a patient-reported outcomes tool can help manage fatigue during treatment for ovarian cancer. It aims to improve how you feel during therapy.
