Recruiting studies
- NCT04997993RecruitingPhase 1
Leflunomide for PTEN-altered or HER2-negative metastatic cancers
This Phase 1 trial studies whether leflunomide can slow or control advanced (metastatic) cancers in people whose tumors have specific PTEN changes or who have HER2-negative breast cancer. It’s primarily a safety-and-dosing study, but it may offer benefit if your cancer matches the tumor marker requirements.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04680715RecruitingPhase 2
Tested radiation before and after breast surgery in older women
This Phase 2 trial looks at a specific radiation timing and technique around the time of breast-conserving surgery. It may help reduce the chance the cancer comes back in selected older patients with certain early-stage, hormone-positive, HER2-negative breast cancers.
Clermont-FerrandAges 65 years+ - NCT05412082RecruitingPhase 1
Smart chemo and radiation plan for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a “smart” total treatment plan using chemotherapy (chemo) and radiation before surgery for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can work well while helping plan treatment based on your situation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04276857Recruiting
Chemo plus a local treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how well combining standard chemo with a targeted local treatment works for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It may help control the cancer in the area of origin and improve outcomes compared with chemo alone.
Regina, SaskatchewanAges Any age - NCT04282031RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BPI-1178 for advanced breast cancer or solid tumors
This early-phase study tests BPI-1178 in people with advanced (stage 4 or hard-to-treat) solid tumors, including HR+/HER2- breast cancer. It looks at how well the treatment works and how safe it is, especially after standard treatments have stopped working or aren’t an option.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06079671RecruitingPhase 3
Volrustomig for high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a new medicine called volrustomig for women with locally advanced cervical cancer that has not spread. It is given along with standard chemoradiation and aims to improve outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 15 years+ - NCT06435429RecruitingPhase 3
Zanidatamab vs trastuzumab for HER2+ breast cancer
This study compares a new drug called zanidatamab against trastuzumab (Herceptin), both given with a chemotherapy of your doctor's choice. It is for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread and who have already tried T-DXd treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06418061RecruitingPhase 1
Testing IBI3005 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called IBI3005 for people whose solid tumors (cancers that form lumps) have continued to grow despite treatment with a specific targeted therapy (EGFR TKI). The goal is to see if IBI3005 can help when other treatments have stopped working.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07454720RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of Adebrelimab with SHR-8068 and chemoradiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (adebrelimab and SHR-8068) to standard chemoradiation before surgery can improve outcomes for adults with locally advanced rectal cancer that can be surgically removed.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06864013RecruitingPhase 2
Short course radiation with chemo and immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of short course radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and two immunotherapy drugs for people with a specific type of rectal cancer that is locally advanced but can still be removed by surgery. It may offer a more effective treatment option for those with mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) or microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07076212RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two chemo combos for advanced pancreatic cancer
This study compares two chemotherapy combinations for people with advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) pancreatic cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see which combination works better and has fewer side effects.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06734702RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy before chemo-radiation for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new approach for people with stage III lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. You would receive immunotherapy (to help your immune system fight cancer) plus chemotherapy first, then standard chemo-radiation, and finally more immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this sequence works better than standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07597629RecruitingPhase 2
SYS6023 combination therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (SYS6023) for advanced breast cancer that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. The treatment targets a protein called HER3, which may help stop cancer growth in patients whose cancer has progressed despite previous treatments.
Harbin, HeilonjiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07180082RecruitingPhase 2
Pyrotinib for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This trial tests whether taking pyrotinib continuously or intermittently can help people with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer that has spread. It is for those who have already received prior treatment for their advanced disease.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06494514Recruiting
New chemo combo with immunotherapy and radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial compares two different chemotherapy combinations, each paired with immunotherapy and radiation, as the first treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It aims to see which combination works better.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07469774RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BC3195 plus Keytruda for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing a new drug called BC3195 combined with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05653453RecruitingPhase 3
Tumor treatment device plus chemo for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether a home-wearable tumor-treating device (Tumor Treating Fields) combined with gemcitabine and albumin-bound paclitaxel works better as first treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It may help by targeting cancer cells while also using standard chemotherapy.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–75 - NCT07459751RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A study of HLX43 alone or with HLX07 vs docetaxel for advanced squamous lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called HLX43, given alone or with HLX07, against the standard chemo docetaxel for people with a type of advanced lung cancer called squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It's for patients who have already tried and not responded to platinum chemo and immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05831878Recruiting
Drug RC48 for HER2-low or HER2-ultralow breast cancer
This trial tests RC48, an antibody-drug treatment, for people with advanced breast cancer that cannot be cured or removed, specifically HER2-low (or HER2-ultralow) tumors. It may help by targeting cancer cells with this “HER2-low” trait while limiting spread in the body.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06974812RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of IBI3014 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called IBI3014 for people with advanced solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.

Drug combination study for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer
This study tests whether combining two new drugs (AK146D1 and AK112) can help people with advanced breast cancer that is HER2-negative (a type that doesn't have too much of a specific growth protein). The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve survival.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07180160RecruitingPhase 2
