Preserving tissue in near-complete rectal cancer response
This trial studies whether it’s safe to preserve the rectum (instead of removing it right away) for people with locally advanced rectal cancer who respond very well after pre-treatment radiation and/or chemotherapy. It may help some patients avoid major surgery, but eligibility depends on response seen on exam, scope, and MRI, and on having no spread to distant organs.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT05334459Recruiting
Radiation and medicines after surgery for new metastatic breast cancer
This trial looks at giving radiation and anti-cancer medicines after surgery to treat newly diagnosed (de novo) metastatic breast cancer. It may help patients by improving local control of the breast area while also treating cancer throughout the body.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT05300269RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug SHR-1701 with chemo and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding SHR-1701 to standard chemotherapy and long-course radiation can improve treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery. It’s mainly for people who have not had prior rectal cancer treatment and who fit several health and cancer-spread requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05524090Recruiting
Program to prepare for surgery in locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies an “implementation program” to help patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer get ready for the next steps after chemotherapy. It may help improve care planning and outcomes for people whose cancer has not grown after initial treatment.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT04263298RecruitingPhase 3
Fulvestrant or capecitabine after chemo for metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two medicines—fulvestrant versus capecitabine—as “maintenance” treatment after your first chemo helps control metastatic breast cancer. It aims to see which one helps people live longer with better disease control.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05356039Recruiting
Study of surgery options and quality of life in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at people with borderline-resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer to see how treatment choices affect survival, quality of life, and whether tumors can be removed by surgery. It may help doctors better predict who can benefit from surgical approaches and what outcomes matter most to patients.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT05753657RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing insulin and blood sugar monitoring with pioglitazone
This early study tests whether adding pioglitazone, along with close blood-sugar (glucose/insulin) monitoring, can help control high insulin and high blood sugar in people starting alpelisib for metastatic breast cancer. It may help reduce blood-sugar side effects from alpelisib.
HaifaAges 18–85 - NCT05802394Recruiting
Using blood tests to track cancer after pancreatic treatment
This trial studies whether a blood test (ctDNA, a DNA signal from tumors) can help track how pancreatic cancer responds during planned conversion therapy. It may help doctors spot treatment response earlier and guide next steps.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05754853RecruitingPhase 3
MRG002 antibody compared with standard chemo for HER2 bladder cancer
This trial studies whether MRG002, a targeted antibody treatment, works better than the patient’s chosen standard chemotherapy. It is for people with HER2-positive advanced or metastatic urothelial (bladder/urinary tract) cancer whose disease has progressed after prior platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05904964RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted drug for hormone-positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests disitamab vedotin (a targeted drug) in people with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer that can’t be cured with surgery or radiation. It aims to see whether the drug can control the cancer better than current standard care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05950087Recruiting
Blood tests after chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer prognosis
This study looks at blood markers—tiny DNA from the blood (cfDNA) and minimal residual disease (MRD)—to better predict outcomes after standard chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may help doctors identify who is more likely to do well and who may need closer follow-up or additional treatment planning.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–75 - NCT06173986RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy to standard chemoradiation can help people with unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for those who cannot have surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05245474RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery chemoradiation plus PD-1 for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial studies giving long-course radiation and chemotherapy before surgery, plus an immunotherapy medicine (PD-1) to help the tumor shrink more. It’s for people with stage II or III rectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06278545RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy for unremovable small bowel cancer
This trial tests two standard chemotherapy combinations (FOLFIRINOX and FOLFOX) in people with small bowel adenocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It aims to see which works better for people who haven't had chemotherapy before.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06020430Recruiting
Skipping routine radiation for advanced lung cancer after immunotherapy and chemo
This trial tests whether it is safe to skip routine radiation to the tumor bed in patients with stage III lung cancer that has responded well to immunotherapy and chemotherapy. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
