AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05202314Recruiting
Camrelizumab plus chemo after stent for left bowel cancer
This study tests whether adding camrelizumab (an immune therapy) to chemotherapy—after a stent is placed to open a blocked left-sided colon—improves outcomes. It’s meant for people whose cancer can still be removed with surgery after the blockage is treated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05851014RecruitingPhase 3
GB491 plus letrozole for HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether GB491 used together with letrozole works better for hormone receptor–positive and HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. You may be eligible if you have not had certain prior cancer treatments and your health tests are within safe limits.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05856383Recruiting
HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer drug combination study
This trial tests whether inetetamab combined with pyrotinib and vinorelbine works better and is safe for adults with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer. You may be considered if standard options have not removed the cancer with surgery and your body can handle chemotherapy and HER2-targeting medicines.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05795335Recruiting
Testing CDK4/6 medicines for advanced hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial studies how CDK4/6 medicines fit into treatment for people with advanced hormone receptor–positive breast cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or radiation. It may help doctors understand the best way to use these medicines for disease that has returned or spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05209243Recruiting
Treating limited-spread prostate cancer with radiation plus hormone therapy
This trial studies whether adding focused radiation (SBRT) to hormone therapy can control prostate cancer that has spread to only a few places. It aims to help people with early “oligometastatic” prostate cancer by improving disease control while limiting treatment side effects.
MadridAges Any age - NCT05251883Recruiting
Study of data from metastatic ovarian cancer using multiple tests
This study looks at metastatic ovarian cancer by analyzing many types of patient data (from “multi-omics,” which means different kinds of lab and biological information). It may help doctors better understand the disease and improve future care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05853094Recruiting
Testing different ways to create a stoma after rectal cancer surgery
This trial looks at how different stoma (opening in the belly) approaches affect recovery after curative rectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors choose the safest, most comfortable option for bowel function and healing after surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT04020575RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells made from your blood for advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests CAR T cells made from your own immune cells to target advanced breast cancer. The cells are designed to recognize a specific cancer marker (called MUC1*), with the goal of shrinking tumors or keeping them under control.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05753839Recruiting
Testing surgery plus immunotherapy for metastatic kidney cancer
This trial studies whether removing the kidney tumor (cytoreductive nephrectomy) before treatment can improve outcomes for people with metastatic clear-cell kidney cancer. All participants are expected to receive standard immunotherapy (nivolumab plus ipilimumab), and the study focuses on the role of surgery in the “immuno-oncology era.”
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05869474Recruiting
Iodine seed implant plus chemotherapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial studies whether placing iodine-125 radioactive seeds during a procedure, along with chemotherapy, can improve outcomes for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs. It aims to test a treatment that targets the tumor area while systemic chemotherapy works throughout the body.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05983783RecruitingPhase 3
Testing two drug combinations for advanced prostate cancer
This trial compares two combinations of drugs for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that has a high tumor burden. One group gets rezvilutamide plus hormone therapy and chemotherapy, while the other gets rezvilutamide plus hormone therapy alone. The goal is to see which is more effective and safe.
