Recruiting studies
- NCT05854823Recruiting
Reduced radiation after surgery for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether giving less (de-escalated) radiation after surgery is as effective and safer for people with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who had a strong response to treatment before surgery. If you had no remaining cancer or only very small amounts of cancer left in the surgical specimen, this approach may help reduce side effects while keeping control of the disease.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05862168RecruitingPhase 2

This trial studies giving tislelizumab (an immune treatment) plus chemotherapy before surgery to shrink and treat locally advanced oral squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve tumor response and outcomes, while checking safety.
HangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT05729646RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy with toripalimab for dMMR stomach cancer
This trial studies whether adding toripalimab (an immune therapy) to chemotherapy before and around surgery can improve outcomes for people with certain mismatch repair–deficient stomach cancers. It mainly targets tumors that are dMMR and not HER2-positive.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05830500RecruitingPhase 4

This trial studies anlotinib in people with advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer that has been getting worse. It aims to see how well the treatment controls the cancer and how safe it is for patients who can’t have curative surgery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05980715RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing immunotherapy to radiation after successful treatment for head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether giving an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) after surgery is better than giving radiation therapy for people with advanced head and neck cancer who had a complete response to chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. The goal is to prevent the cancer from coming back.

Chemo before surgery for middle-lower esophageal cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin) given before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by treating cancer earlier while it’s still in one region.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT05260671RecruitingPhase 2
Penpulimab plus cetuximab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial studies penpulimab (an immune medicine) combined with cetuximab (an antibody drug) for recurrent or metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or radiation. It aims to shrink tumors and improve survival in people whose tumor shows a specific immune marker (PD-L1).
Changchun, JilinAges 18–80 - NCT06092086RecruitingPhase 2
Lorlatinib for first-line treatment of ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests a targeted pill, lorlatinib, for people with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not received previous treatment for advanced disease. It aims to see how well the drug works in this setting.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06102395RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help people with advanced head and neck cancer. It aims to see if the combination is more effective than chemotherapy alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06074692RecruitingPhase 2
PARP inhibitor, SBRT, and immunotherapy for advanced sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of a PARP inhibitor drug, targeted radiation (SBRT), and immunotherapy for people with advanced sarcoma that has spread. It aims to see if this triple therapy can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 10–70 - NCT06121089Recruiting
Surgery for early-stage cecal cancer
This trial is testing different surgical approaches for people with cecal cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to find the best treatment option for patients whose tumors are at a stage where surgery can be curative.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT05940896RecruitingPhase 1
HER2-targeted drug with radiation for non-surgical solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a HER2-targeted antibody drug (RC48-ADC) given with radiation in people with locally advanced solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to find a safe way to use the treatment and see how well it works in cancers that have HER2 protein on their cells.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT05801237RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of two drugs for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests two investigational medicines (PE0116 and PE0105) in people with advanced solid cancers that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It may help shrink tumors or slow disease when standard treatments have not worked or are not tolerated.
