Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07133750RecruitingPhase 2
PM8002 plus chemo for untreated metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination therapy (PM8002 plus chemotherapy) for people with metastatic colorectal cancer who have not had prior treatment. It may be an option if your cancer is not MSI-H/dMMR and you are in good overall health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06904235RecruitingPhase 2
A trial testing IV NEPA to prevent nausea and vomiting in kids getting strong chemo
This trial tests a medicine called IV NEPA (fosnetupitant/palonosetron) to prevent nausea and vomiting in children who are receiving strong chemotherapy. Patients will receive at least one cycle of chemotherapy that is highly likely to cause these side effects.
AthensAges birth–18 years - NCT06860269RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New immune therapy and stem cell transplant for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This study tests adding new immunotherapy drugs and possibly a stem cell transplant to the first treatment for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The goal is to see if these approaches help people live longer without the cancer coming back.
ParisAges 18–65 - NCT06809101Recruiting
Home blood test monitoring for cancer patients on chemotherapy
