HefeiAges 18–85 - NCT06201065RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and toripalimab, a type of immunotherapy) plus a special chemotherapy infusion directly into the liver artery for people with advanced liver cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding the immunotherapy helps shrink tumors better than the standard combination.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06204406Recruiting
Kidney-sparing treatment for upper tract urothelial cancer
This study looks at how well patients do when they have kidney-sparing treatment (instead of complete kidney removal) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. It helps doctors understand which patients can safely avoid losing their kidney.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT03414827Recruiting
Genetic testing study for kidney cancer
This study looks at genetic features of kidney cancer by testing tumor samples. The goal is to find biomarkers—specific signs—that may help predict what kind of kidney cancer it is.
RoskildeAges Any age - NCT06342167RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation with nutrition support for esophageal cancer
This trial combines an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) with radiation therapy and special nutrition drinks to treat esophageal cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective in helping patients live longer and feel better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07863258Recruiting
AI matchmaking for advanced liver cancer treatment
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at tumor samples and MRI scans from people with advanced liver cancer to help choose the best treatment. It aims to make treatment more personalized and effective.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT05962892Recruiting
Study of thyroid cancer return risk after heat ablation
This study looks at what makes papillary thyroid cancer come back after a heat-based treatment called thermal ablation. It may help doctors better predict recurrence risk and guide follow-up after treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06241599RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
AK104 with chemo for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This study tests if adding a new immunotherapy drug (called AK104) to standard chemotherapy can help people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back or spread after previous treatment. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
