Nivolumab for advanced skin squamous cell cancer
This trial studies nivolumab, an immune therapy, for skin squamous cell cancer that can’t be cured with surgery or radiation. It aims to see how well the treatment shrinks tumors and helps people live longer or longer without cancer growth.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT05738616RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lenvatinib plus TACE and immunotherapy before liver surgery
This study tests whether a combination of the drug lenvatinib, a liver treatment called TACE, and the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab can shrink advanced hepatocellular carcinoma enough to make surgery (or “conversion resection”) possible. It may help some people live longer by improving the chance that the cancer can be removed.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06151743RecruitingPhase 2
Testing drug combo before throat cancer surgery
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (an immunotherapy called a PD-1 inhibitor, cetuximab, and platinum chemotherapy) given before surgery for advanced throat cancer that requires removing the voice box. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06383728RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy before surgery for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests if taking a targeted therapy drug before surgery can help shrink tumors in people with a specific type of lung cancer called EGFR-mutated squamous cell carcinoma that can be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06406634RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab, Lenvatinib, and HAIC for Unresectable Liver Cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. It uses an immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab), a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib), and a direct chemotherapy infusion into the liver (HAIC). The goal is to see if this combo can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
