Recruiting studies
- NCT06832774RecruitingPhase 2

Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05248581Recruiting
Living donor liver transplant for unresectable colon cancer spread
This trial looks at using a living donor liver transplant for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver in a way that can’t be removed with standard surgery. It may help if you might otherwise have limited options because your liver surgery would be too risky.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04762641RecruitingPhase 1
First-dose safety study of ABL503 for advanced cancers

This early-phase study tests whether adding ZEN003694 to standard chemotherapy (cisplatin/etoposide or carboplatin/paclitaxel) is safe and can help control NUT carcinoma. It enrolls people ages 12–17 and adults, including some patients whose cancer has spread or can’t be safely removed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04254263RecruitingPhase 3
Pyrotinib after breast cancer therapy for HER2-positive early disease
This trial studies whether adding pyrotinib after standard treatment helps prevent breast cancer from coming back in people with HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer. You may be eligible if you finished chemotherapy plus trastuzumab and still had signs of cancer in the tissue removed during surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04495296RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TST001 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests TST001, and sometimes a combination with other cancer medicines, to see how safe it is and how well it may work in advanced or metastatic solid tumors. You might be eligible if you have certain tumor types and lab/health requirements, and if your tumor tissue shows specific marker results (depending on the study part).
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06051851RecruitingPhase 2
Study of penpulimab, anlotinib, and chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (penpulimab), a targeted therapy (anlotinib), and two chemotherapy drugs (nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine) as a first treatment for pancreatic cancer that has spread. It aims to see if this new combination works better than standard care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT03488953Recruiting
Two-step liver surgery using a living donor transplant
This study looks at a specialized liver transplant approach using a living donor, for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by standard surgery. It’s meant for cases where chemotherapy has helped stop or shrink the tumors, to improve the chance of successful treatment.
JenaAges 18 years+ - NCT06038396RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A study of RC118 plus toripalimab/RC148 for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (RC118 plus toripalimab/RC148) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It’s for those whose cancer has not responded to standard treatment and whose tumors have a specific protein called Claudin 18.2.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06951503RecruitingPhase 3
AK112 plus chemo for first-line metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called AK112 combined with chemotherapy as a first treatment for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink tumors and improve survival better than chemotherapy alone.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06408688RecruitingPhase 4
Mistletoe extract added to immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding mistletoe extract (Iscador) to standard immunotherapy can make the treatment safer and boost the immune system's response against advanced solid tumors (excluding skin cancer). If you are already receiving or about to start a checkpoint inhibitor, this study may help understand if the combination works better.
