The goal is to see if this sequence can shrink or eliminate the cancer more effectively, potentially allowing for a less extensive surgery.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06353646Recruiting
XH001 plus immunotherapy and chemotherapy after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial studies a new treatment called XH001 combined with standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people whose pancreatic cancer has been surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06351475Recruiting
Albumin during surgery for advanced cancer in the abdomen
This trial tests whether adding a protein called albumin to standard fluids given during surgery helps patients with advanced cancer in the abdomen (from the ovaries, uterus, or digestive system) recover better. You would receive either the usual fluids or fluids plus albumin during your operation.
LyonAges 18–80 - NCT06216301RecruitingPhase 3
Electric fields with immunotherapy and chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests adding a device that delivers electric fields (Tumor Treating Fields) to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has not been treated before. It may help slow tumor growth.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06186479RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Aconite Pain Oil for Chemotherapy Nerve Damage
This trial tests a pain oil made from aconite (a plant extract) to see if it can prevent or reduce nerve damage and pain caused by chemotherapy. It is for people with solid tumors who are starting treatment with taxane or platinum drugs.
MannheimAges 18–100 - NCT06195189RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sunvozertinib Plus Chemo for EGFR Lung Cancer After TKI Failure
This trial tests a new pill (sunvozertinib) combined with chemotherapy for people with a specific EGFR mutation type of lung cancer whose previous targeted pill stopped working. It aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06197425RecruitingPhase 3
Extra chemotherapy after surgery for colorectal cancer with positive ctDNA
This trial tests whether giving more chemotherapy can help people who still have cancer DNA in their blood after surgery and standard chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. The goal is to prevent the cancer from coming back.
DijonAges 18–80 - NCT06139458Recruiting
Cooling therapy to prevent nerve damage from chemo
This trial tests if cooling sleeves and gloves during chemotherapy can help prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in people with gynecologic cancers. If you are receiving a common chemo drug called paclitaxel, this approach might reduce side effects like numbness or pain in your hands and feet.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06154538RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo vs. chemo alone for advanced colorectal cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy (a treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer) to standard chemotherapy before surgery works better than chemotherapy alone for people with locally advanced colorectal cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06120374Recruiting
