Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05359939Recruiting
MRI, CT, and PET scans compared for liver cancer
This study compares different scan types (MRI, CT, and two PET scans) in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (a primary liver cancer). It may help doctors figure out which scan gives the most useful information for diagnosis and treatment planning.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05361720RecruitingPhase 2
Genetic test to match treatment for advanced kidney cancer
This study looks at genetic (RNA) testing of kidney cancer tissue to help choose the best drug treatment. It may help guide therapy for people with advanced or metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who are starting treatment for the first time.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05363280RecruitingPhase 2
Second-treatment study for lung or kidney cancer after initial therapy
This Phase 2 study tests a new treatment for people with small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or kidney cancer after they have finished their first main treatment. It may help shrink tumors or control the cancer further.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05375370Recruiting
Testing a blood test to predict liver cancer coming back
This study checks whether a blood test (circulating tumor DNA) can help predict if hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) will return after curative treatment like surgery or ablation. If it works, it may help doctors plan closer follow-up or earlier treatment if recurrence risk is higher.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT05394259RecruitingPhase 1
PYLARIFY PET-CT scan to find spread in certain cancers
This early study tests whether a special PET-CT scan called PYLARIFY can detect metastasis (cancer spread) more effectively in pancreatic, liver (HCC), and breast cancers. If the scan results change doctors’ treatment plans, it could help you get the right next therapy sooner.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05398302RecruitingPhase 1
Biopsies during prostate cancer treatment to study resistance
This early study uses image-guided biopsies (small tissue samples taken with imaging) to learn why metastatic prostate cancer may stop responding to PSMA radioligand therapy. The results may help doctors understand resistance and improve future treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05406232Recruiting
Radiation study to track immune changes in breast cancer
This study gives a short course of radiation to the breast or chest wall and measures how your immune system responds. It may help doctors better understand which immune changes happen after radiation and how this could improve palliative (symptom-relieving) care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05408221RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Liver cancer trial testing Rulonilimab plus Lenvatinib
This Phase 2/3 study tests whether combining rulonilimab with lenvatinib can control unresectable advanced liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be removed by surgery or treated locally. You may be considered if you have not had prior whole-body (systemic) cancer treatments and your organs and blood counts are strong enough.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05409482Recruiting
Areal-world test of camrelizumab plus apatinib for liver cancer
This study looks at how well a combination of camrelizumab and apatinib works for people with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer you can’t remove with surgery). It is designed to see results in real-life care for patients who have limited options after standard treatment.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05420948RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab with chemotherapy for returning or spread head cancer
This Phase 2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy to treat head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. You might be eligible if standard local treatments won’t be curative and your tumor can be measured on scans.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05431764RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 treatment plus radiation for limited metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests adding a PD-1 “immunotherapy” medicine (a type of cancer-fighting antibody) along with stereotactic body radiotherapy (very focused radiation) to treat nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread to only a few places. It may help shrink remaining visible spots after initial local radiation and see whether this “consolidation” approach improves control of the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05433142RecruitingPhase 1
XmAb 819 for advanced kidney cancer and other solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug called XmAb 819 to treat advanced clear cell kidney cancer and other cancers that have grown despite standard treatments. It mainly looks at safety and how the body responds, with the goal of finding signs the drug can work.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05438836Recruiting
Adaptive radiation planning for anal cancer treatment
This trial tests an online, adaptive way to plan and adjust radiation during treatment for people with biopsy-proven anal cancer. The goal is to better target the cancer while keeping side effects as low as possible.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT05440708RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed
This trial tests TTI-101, by itself and with other cancer medicines, for liver cancer that is advanced and cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see whether the treatment can slow the cancer down and improve outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05444478Recruiting
Microwave ablation plus lenvatinib for recurrent liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining heat treatment to kill liver tumors (microwave ablation) with the medicine lenvatinib can better control recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help shrink tumors or slow growth for people whose cancer has come back but who have limited tumor burden.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT05447169Recruiting
Testing blood and DNA checks for nasopharyngeal cancer risk
This study tests an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) blood antibody and an EBV DNA test to help screen people at higher risk for nasopharyngeal cancer. It may find signs earlier in certain families where cancer runs.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 30–62 - NCT05451303Recruiting
Testing for oral and throat cancer risk with a mouth test
This trial studies how well an at-home or clinic mouth test (OralViome Cancer Testing System) can detect signs of risk for oral or throat cancer. You may benefit by getting cancer-risk testing if you are considered high risk, though results will guide whether further evaluation is needed.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05468359RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing four medicines in children and teens with hard-to-treat tumors
This early-phase trial studies how safe and effective a combination of four medicines is for children and teens with certain solid tumors that have come back or cannot be controlled with standard treatment. It may help by improving tumor control, while also carefully tracking side effects.
Germantown, TennesseeAges Up to 30 years - NCT05472948RecruitingPhase 2
Testing surufatinib plus immunotherapy with capecitabine for bowel cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of anti-cancer drugs (surufatinib, immunotherapy, and capecitabine) to treat cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It’s for people whose small intestine or appendix adenocarcinoma has progressed after earlier treatment, aiming to shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05473156RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AP203 for advanced solid tumors that grew despite treatment
This early-phase study tests AP203 (an investigational treatment) to see if it is safe and to look for signs it can shrink or control certain advanced cancers. The study includes a dose-finding part for many solid tumors, and a second part focused on specific lung and head/neck cancers that previously received PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05494190Recruiting
