Chidamide plus hormone therapy after chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial studies chidamide added to standard hormone (endocrine) therapy to help prevent breast cancer from coming back after initial chemotherapy. It may help by keeping cancer under control for longer in people with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who respond to first-line treatment.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT05430399RecruitingPhase 3
Utidelone vs docetaxel for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial compares utidelone with docetaxel in people with HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It aims to see which treatment works better and is safer for controlling the cancer and helping patients live longer.
Guangzhou, GangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05983107RecruitingPhase 2
Chidamide/Everolimus for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, chidamide and everolimus, for people with advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer. It aims to see if the combination works for tumors with or without a PIK3CA gene mutation. You may be able to join if you've had previous treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors and up to two prior chemotherapies.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06000917RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combination therapy before surgery for ER+/HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapies and chemotherapy given before surgery for women with a specific type of breast cancer that is both ER-positive and HER2-positive. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06028724Recruiting
Looking for cancer mutations using a blood test
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to find genetic changes in advanced solid tumors. It may help doctors choose the right treatment and monitor how well it works over time.
Aviano, PordononeAges 18 years+ - NCT05450029RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immunotherapy to chemo-radiation for rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding sintilimab (an immunotherapy drug) to standard chemo-radiation before surgery can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It’s aimed at tumors with certain immune “signature” scores and specific cancer stage features.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06043466RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for CEA-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called CAR-T that targets cancer cells with a protein called CEA. It is for people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06120387Recruiting
Radiation after kidney-sparing surgery for high-risk ureteral cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy after surgery that removes only part of the ureter or the entire kidney and ureter helps prevent cancer from coming back in patients who have high-risk features like aggressive cell type or deep tumor invasion.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04134780Recruiting
Ultrasound tests to spot early breast cancer treatment response
This study uses special ultrasound imaging (and may use MRI results) to look for early signs of how locally advanced breast cancer responds to chemotherapy, with or without radiation. If the imaging changes early, it could help doctors adjust treatment sooner.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06234137Recruiting
Chemo plus targeted therapy for advanced HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (docetaxel and carboplatin) plus two targeted drugs (Inetetamab and Pyrotinib) for people with locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to see if this powerful combo can shrink the tumor before surgery or other treatments.
