It aims to help doctors choose the right surgery approach based on the scan features and final pathology.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT04534205RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing BNT113 plus pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone
This trial studies whether adding BNT113 to pembrolizumab works better and is safe for people with HPV16-positive head and neck cancer that can’t be cured with local treatments. It also compares outcomes to pembrolizumab alone, specifically for tumors that show PD-L1 in testing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04544969Recruiting
Testing blood markers to guide chemo for metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer
This study looks at special blood markers (CTCs) to see how sensitive your cancer is to chemotherapy and to better predict how well treatment may work. If you have metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer and can’t have local treatment, this may help match you to more effective chemo plans.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04547673Recruiting
Test an endoscopy camera tool to help diagnose throat cancer
This study checks an “intelligent” camera used during a nose-and-throat exam to improve how nasopharyngeal cancer is diagnosed. If you are eligible, your care team will compare how well the tool identifies the condition.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04553770RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab deruxtecan with or without anastrozole for early breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether trastuzumab deruxtecan alone or combined with anastrozole can control early-stage breast cancer that is HER2-low and hormone-receptor positive. It aims to improve outcomes after initial surgical treatment by targeting cancer cells that may have low levels of HER2.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04567056Recruiting
Tested blood or tissue patterns in head and neck cancer
This study looks at specific genetic “methylation” patterns in people with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The results may help doctors understand the disease better and identify who may benefit from future treatments.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT04574960RecruitingPhase 3
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before kidney/ureter cancer surgery
This Phase 3 trial studies giving cisplatin-based chemotherapy before surgery for certain newly diagnosed upper-urinary-tract urothelial cancers (kidney/ureter). It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes by treating microscopic disease earlier.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04588168Recruiting
MRI helps guide bladder cancer treatment planning
This trial uses special MRI scans to help doctors choose precise treatment for bladder cancer before and/or around surgery. It may help tailor therapy more accurately while you receive standard bladder cancer care.
