Comparing shorter vs longer chemo before immunotherapy for bladder cancer
This trial is testing whether 3 cycles of chemotherapy are as effective as 6 cycles before starting maintenance immunotherapy (avelumab) for people with advanced bladder cancer. The goal is to see if a shorter chemo course can reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06892158Recruiting
Massage therapy for sleep in teens with cancer
This trial studies if massage therapy can help teenagers and young adults with cancer sleep better while they are in the hospital. Participants will receive massage sessions and answer questions about their sleep.

This trial tests a new combination of two experimental drugs (9-ING-41 and retifanlimab) plus a standard chemotherapy regimen (modified FOLFIRINOX) for people with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who have not yet received treatment for their advanced disease. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06825546RecruitingPhase 2
Icaritin plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new combination of a plant-based drug (icaritin) and two chemotherapy drugs (AG) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have not had treatment before. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06800989Recruiting
Can sophrology with a wearable device reduce chemo anxiety?
This study tests whether a relaxation technique called sophrology, guided by a wearable device, can help reduce anxiety during chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to offer extra support during treatment.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06883136Enrolling by invitation
Sintilimab plus chemo for elderly advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug sintilimab plus standard chemotherapy (platinum-based doublet) as the first treatment for older adults (60–80) with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that does not have certain gene mutations. The goal is to see if this approach works better than chemotherapy alone.
Jinan, ShandongAges 60–80 - NCT06889766RecruitingPhase 1
NY-ESO-1 T cells for advanced melanoma and sarcoma
This trial tests a personalized cell therapy using your own immune cells (T cells) that have been modified to recognize a protein called NY-ESO-1, which is found on some melanoma and sarcoma tumors. It may help people whose cancer has progressed after standard treatments.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT05272696RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before treatment for advanced head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy medicine) together with induction chemotherapy before the main cancer treatment for stage III/IVA head and neck squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve how well the tumor responds and how long people can stay controlled.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06869213RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab plus chemo before and after surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug adebrelimab (SHR-1316) and chemotherapy given before and after surgery for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improves outcomes.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06876714RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter vs Longer HER2 Therapy for Breast Cancer with Complete Response
This trial compares 6 months versus 12 months of HER2-targeted therapy for people with HER2+ breast cancer who had a complete response after chemo and trastuzumab. The goal is to see if a shorter treatment is just as effective.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06869226RecruitingPhase 2
Study of camrelizumab plus chemo before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab together with chemotherapy before surgery can help people with esophageal cancer avoid needing full removal of the esophagus. It aims to preserve the esophagus while still treating the cancer effectively.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06877299RecruitingPhase 2
Combination Therapy for Stage IIA-IIIB Lung Cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, focused high-dose radiation (SBRT), chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) for people with stage IIA to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes before or instead of surgery.
