Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05672524RecruitingPhase 2
Tucatinib plus trastuzumab for HER2-positive rectal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether tucatinib combined with trastuzumab can slow or shrink rectal cancer that is HER2-positive and has certain genetic tumor features. If you qualify, you may benefit from a targeted treatment approach aimed at the HER2 pathway.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05696626RecruitingPhase 3
Test a new pill plus abemaciclib versus standard therapy
This Phase 3 study compares lasofoxifene plus abemaciclib versus fulvestrant plus abemaciclib for ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has an ESR1 mutation. It looks for better tumor control in people whose cancer has progressed on hormone therapy (an aromatase inhibitor) and who meet specific safety and testing requirements.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05702229RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combined medicines for advanced stomach cancer with Claudin18.2
This Phase 2 study tests new combination treatments for advanced stomach or stomach-esophagus junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help people whose tumors are positive for a marker called Claudin18.2, which the study uses to choose who can receive the treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05732831RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for tumors with MTAP loss
This Phase 1/2 trial tests TNG462 (with or without pembrolizumab, depending on the plan) in solid tumors that have lost MTAP. The goal is to check safety and learn whether the treatment can help people with these specific tumor changes.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05733598RecruitingPhase 2
RP2 plus standard treatment for advanced liver or bile cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether RP2, added to standard second-line treatment, can improve outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer or bile duct/gallbladder cancer. It may help by training the immune system to better attack the cancer after the cancer has already grown despite prior treatment.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05740995Recruiting
New pre-op treatment for esophageal cancer using immunotherapy plus chemo
This trial studies giving immunotherapy (anti–PD-1) together with chemotherapy before surgery for certain locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer. The goal is to improve how well the tumor responds before and after the operation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05744687RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Letrozole plus SPH4336 versus letrozole alone for breast cancer
This study tests whether adding SPH4336 to letrozole works better than letrozole plus a placebo for treating hormone-receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer in people starting first-line treatment. It may help slow cancer growth more effectively if the added drug is beneficial.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05749887Recruiting
Salvage surgery after chemo-radiation for cervical cancer
This trial studies whether doing surgery after standard chemo-radiation can help control cervical cancer that may still be present. It may be an option if your biopsy or PET-CT scan suggests residual tumor in the cervix and/or nearby pelvic lymph nodes.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05752136RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery radiation plus immunotherapy and chemo for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether a short course of radiation before surgery, combined with the immunotherapy drug envafolimab and the chemo regimen CAPEOX, works better for shrinking locally advanced rectal cancer. It is aimed at people whose tumor is not “MMR-deficient” (it is pMMR/MSS), and it asks participants to be able to return for repeated checkups and treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05758389RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo for locally advanced head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether tislelizumab (an immunotherapy) combined with chemotherapy works better for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve cancer control when the tumor is large and has not spread to distant organs.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05760378RecruitingPhase 3
Famitinib plus immunotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests a combination of famitinib (a cancer drug that targets blood vessel growth) with immunotherapy drugs in people with newly diagnosed advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or cannot be fully removed. It aims to improve how long patients live and how well the cancer responds.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05764044RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo after chemoradiation for HPV-positive cervical cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving additional (adjuvant) chemotherapy after standard chemoradiation can help people whose blood test still shows cancer-related HPV DNA. It may help by lowering the risk of the cervical cancer coming back in people who have a positive blood biomarker after treatment.
Manaus, AmazonasAges 18–70 - NCT05772208RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment plan for nasopharyngeal cancer after EBV DNA stays detectable
This Phase 3 trial tests a stronger treatment approach for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer whose EBV “DNA” (a cancer-related virus signal in blood) does not go away after one cycle of chemotherapy. It may help improve outcomes by changing treatment based on how the cancer responds early.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05772481Recruiting
PET-MRI scan test for rectal cancer after pre-surgery treatment
This study looks at whether a special scan called PET-MRI can better show how rectal cancer responds to treatment given before surgery. If it works well, it could help doctors plan the right next steps after chemoradiotherapy.
StrasbourgAges 18–75 - NCT05785039RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for advanced bladder and other solid cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests BL-B01D1 to treat people with advanced or metastatic urothelial (urinary tract) cancer and other solid tumors. You may be eligible if standard treatments are no longer working or are not available, and you can meet safety and cancer-measurement requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05798793RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus anti–PD-1 before surgery for mouth cancer
This trial studies whether giving anti–PD-1 immunotherapy together with chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced, operable oral squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to shrink the cancer and make surgery more effective by treating both the tumor and the immune response.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05806060RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted first treatment for a rare TNBC subtype with spread
This Phase 3 trial tests a more precise treatment strategy for a specific rare type of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) called the BLIS subtype. It’s for people whose cancer has spread or cannot be fully removed and who have not had chemo or targeted therapy for metastatic TNBC yet.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05833594Recruiting
Immunonutrition plus chemoradiation for unresectable esophageal cancer
This trial studies whether adding an “immunonutrition” nutrition plan to standard chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced, unresectable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It may help the treatment work better by supporting the immune system during therapy.
HefeiAges 18–85 - 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.
