Recruiting studies
- NCT05687357RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab plus chemoradiation before surgery for stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies giving tislelizumab (an immune therapy) together with pre-surgery chemoradiation for locally advanced stomach or GEJ (esophagus-stomach junction) adenocarcinoma. It compares this approach to the standard treatment (chemoradiation plus surgery) to see if it improves outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05835570Recruiting

Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–85 - NCT05914766Recruiting
Support program for newly diagnosed rectal cancer patients
This trial tests an informational and supportive care program for people with newly diagnosed, locally advanced rectal cancer. It may help by providing education and practical support around next steps in treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05948865RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests CPO301 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have worsened or cannot be treated with standard options. It aims to find the safest dose and understand how the treatment affects tumors, especially in certain lung cancer groups.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05957016RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment before and during rectal radiation with chemo
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment plan given before surgery (neoadjuvant) along with radiation and chemotherapy (concurrent chemoradiotherapy) for locally advanced rectal cancer. It may help shrink the cancer before the next steps of care and improve control of the disease.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05965531RecruitingPhase 2
TAS-102 plus radiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding TAS-102 (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation given before treatment improves outcomes for certain locally advanced rectal cancers. It may help by trying to shrink the tumor before the next steps of care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05967689RecruitingPhase 2
Zipalertinib for lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 mutations
This Phase 2 trial tests zipalertinib (a targeted pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR mutations, especially “exon 20 insertions.” It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, including in some people with brain metastases.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05973864RecruitingPhase 2
Capecitabine plus pembrolizumab after TNBC surgery and chemo
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding capecitabine to pembrolizumab after surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back in people with triple-negative breast cancer that didn’t fully respond to earlier treatment. It’s meant for patients whose tumor was removed but still showed remaining cancer after chemo-immunotherapy.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05981001RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Experimental cell therapy for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer
This study tests a new treatment for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. Doctors will take immune cells from lymph nodes near your tumor, grow them in a lab, and then give them back to you along with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This approach aims to help your body fight the cancer more effectively.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05984485RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery vs chemo before surgery for low-risk rectal cancer
This trial compares two approaches for low-risk locally advanced rectal cancer: going straight to surgery (TME) versus receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if upfront surgery works just as well, sparing patients from chemotherapy side effects.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06002789RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 immunotherapy with or without chemo before surgery for colorectal cancer
This trial tests a medicine called PD-1 (a type of immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer), sometimes with chemotherapy, before surgery for a certain type of colorectal cancer. It is for people whose tumors have a specific DNA repair problem (dMMR or MSI-H) and whose cancer has not spread to distant organs.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06005493RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AZD5863 for advanced stomach, esophagus, or pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing an investigational drug called AZD5863 for people whose stomach, esophagus, or pancreatic cancer has spread and hasn't responded to at least one previous treatment. The study aims to see if targeting a protein called Claudin 18.2 on tumor cells can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06008275RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Neratinib and ruxolitinib for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This early-phase trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, neratinib and ruxolitinib, for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who have already had standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06014372RecruitingPhase 2
Envafolimab before surgery for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests envalolimab (an immunotherapy) alone or with chemo (CAPEOX) before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06054906RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) and a low-dose weekly chemotherapy regimen before surgery for locally advanced stomach cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06083103Recruiting
PET/MRI for advanced cervical cancer
This trial uses a combined PET and MRI scan to see if it can better identify the spread of cervical cancer before treatment. It may help guide more personalized care.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06121557RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cells from lymph nodes for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a treatment using your own immune cells taken from lymph nodes near the tumor. The cells are grown in a lab and given back to you to fight cancer, along with another drug chosen by your doctor.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06128252Recruiting
Taurine with chemotherapy and immunotherapy for gastric cancer
This trial tests whether adding taurine to standard chemo-immunotherapy before surgery helps treat locally advanced gastric cancer. It may be an option for patients whose tumors are PD-L1 positive and can be fully removed with surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06130995RecruitingPhase 1
Relugolix and enzalutamide for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a combination of two oral drugs, relugolix and enzalutamide, in men with high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread to distant parts of the body. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer before or alongside local therapies like surgery or radiation.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06147570RecruitingPhase 2
Study of HS-10365 for RET fusion-positive lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called HS-10365 for people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called a RET fusion. The drug aims to block the growth of cancer cells with this mutation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06171750RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ANK-101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ANK-101, injected directly into tumors to help fight advanced solid tumors that have spread or can't be treated with standard therapies. It may be an option if you have a tumor that can be reached for injection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06202105Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs open total gastrectomy for advanced stomach cancer
This trial compares two types of surgery for stomach cancer that has grown into deeper layers but has not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see if a keyhole (laparoscopic) approach is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery.
Bien Hoa, Dong NaiAges 18–80 - NCT06204094RecruitingPhase 2
Preserving the anus with chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation before surgery for patients with middle or low rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to avoid removing the anus, preserving bowel function.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06205849RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug and procedure for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called mitazalimab injected directly into the tumor, combined with a special electrical procedure that kills cancer cells. It is for people whose pancreatic cancer has not spread but cannot be removed by surgery.
