Jhajjar, HaryanaAges 18–70 - NCT05188859RecruitingPhase 2
Testing sintilimab, anlotinib, and chemo for pleural mesothelioma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding three medicines—sintilimab, anlotinib, and standard platinum chemo—can control malignant pleural mesothelioma that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease progression, but you must meet specific health and prior-treatment requirements.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05200650RecruitingPhase 1
Test gel with cisplatin injected into head and neck tumors
This trial studies an anti-cancer gel that delivers cisplatin directly into a head and neck tumor with a single injection. It mainly checks safety and side effects, and also looks for early signs that the tumor responds in people whose cancer is progressing or no longer responds to standard treatment.
JerusalemAges 18–80 - NCT05268614RecruitingPhase 2
Risk-based reduced chemo and radiation for HPV throat cancer
This trial tests whether using a lower intensity (reduced) chemo-radiation plan can work for some people with HPV-related oropharyngeal (throat) cancer without losing effectiveness. It may help reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 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 - NCT05281003RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It may help shrink the tumor and improve the chance of successful surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05281406RecruitingPhase 2
Extra chemotherapy if tumor DNA stays positive after osimertinib
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding chemotherapy can help people with EGFR-mutated lung cancer when their cancer-related blood test (liquid biopsy for EGFR DNA) is still positive after 3–4 weeks of starting osimertinib. It may help slow the cancer for longer by treating any remaining disease activity.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05284539RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for mutated advanced lung cancer

Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05286619RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab with chemotherapy for recurrent head and neck cancer
This trial studies whether pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy (platinum and gemcitabine) can control recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that can’t be cured with local treatments. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth in people who haven’t had cancer medicines for this stage before.
Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT05302284RecruitingPhase 3
Testing RC48-ADC plus toripalimab for first-time urothelial cancer
This trial tests whether RC48-ADC combined with toripalimab works better as the first treatment for urothelial cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people whose cancer has the right HER2 and other eligibility features.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05312671RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo for small cell bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a drug called atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy (etoposide and a platinum drug) can shrink or control small cell bladder cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system against the cancer while the chemotherapy treats fast-growing cancer cells.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05342194RecruitingPhase 3
Testing an immunotherapy plus chemo for advanced bile duct cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether toripalimab (an immunotherapy) combined with lenvatinib and chemotherapy works better than standard treatment for advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. It aims to help people live longer and/or control the cancer more effectively.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05351788RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug combo for advanced lung cancer with specific gene results
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination treatment to control advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is mainly for people whose tumor has specific gene features (EGFR and ALK testing results) and who are able to provide tumor tissue for biomarker testing.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05352321Recruiting
Surgery plus targeted chemoradiation versus standard chemoradiation
This trial compares two treatment plans for newly diagnosed, operable nasopharyngeal cancer: adding surgery plus targeted chemoradiation versus standard chemoradiation alone. It aims to see whether the surgery-based plan improves control of the cancer and related outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05357846RecruitingPhase 3
Check whether PD-1 treatment helps esophagus cancer before surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding a PD-1 medicine (sintilimab) to standard chemo-radiation before surgery improves outcomes for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer. It may help by strengthening the immune response while shrinking the tumor before an operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05388773RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery then lower-dose radiation for p16+ throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether removing the tumor through the mouth, followed by a reduced course of radiation, can control HPV-related (p16+) oropharynx throat cancer. It may help reduce treatment intensity after surgery, while still aiming to keep the cancer from coming back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05394337RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy before bladder surgery for cisplatin-ineligible patients
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs given before bladder/urinary tract cancer surgery. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes in people who cannot safely take cisplatin chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05397262Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment with radiation plus heat therapy
This trial studies adding “heat treatment” (hyperthermia) to standard bladder cancer care using radiation, sometimes with chemotherapy. It may help the radiation work better, but your eligibility depends on cancer stage, your general health, and certain heart and metal-safety issues.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT05406856Recruiting
Adaptive proton therapy for cervical cancer with chemo
This trial tests whether an “adaptive” type of radiation planning using proton therapy and MRI-guided brachytherapy can improve treatment for people with cervical cancer. It aims to deliver curative treatment more precisely while still combining it with chemotherapy (cisplatin) when appropriate.
LeidenAges 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 - NCT05446467RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial studies whether pembrolizumab, given before surgery, can improve outcomes for certain people with stage III–IVA head and neck squamous cell cancer. It’s typically added alongside low-dose PFAS as part of treatment leading up to standard surgery and afterward medicines/radiation.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT05451043RecruitingPhase 2
