Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05497531Recruiting
Test blood DNA to help guide liver and pancreas biopsies
This pilot study checks whether a special blood test (ctDNA) can detect cancer signals and work as well as another sample method during biopsies for liver, bile duct, or pancreatic cancers. It may help doctors choose the best way to confirm the diagnosis from biopsy samples.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03093688RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an immune-cell infusion for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding special immune cells (iNKT cells and CD8+ T cells) given by IV infusion can help treat advanced cancers. It mainly looks at safety first, and also checks whether the treatment can shrink or control cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07147335Recruiting
Blood test for early liver cancer warning in cirrhosis
This study looks at whether a blood test for a protein called AKR1B10 can help give early warning of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) in people with cirrhosis. If you have cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis and are between 18 and 75 years old, you may be able to join.
Hengyang, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07419841RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CTX-10726 for certain advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug called CTX-10726 in people with advanced kidney, liver, stomach, or uterine cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and tolerable.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06777017Recruiting
Can liver stiffness predict cancer return after ablation?
This trial studies if measuring liver and spleen stiffness can help predict the risk of liver cancer coming back after radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a treatment that uses heat to destroy tumors. It aims to improve follow-up care for people with chronic liver disease and early-stage liver cancer.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07223424RecruitingPhase 2
Patient preference study: shot vs infusion for immunotherapy
This study compares two ways to take immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab or pembrolizumab): as a shot under the skin (subcutaneous) versus an infusion into a vein (intravenous). It looks at which method patients prefer and is for people with certain advanced cancers where these drugs are already approved.
