Recruiting studies
- NCT07332247RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo then immediate vs selective re-radiation for advanced recurrent NPC
This trial is for people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back in the same area. It tests whether giving additional radiation right after chemo plus immunotherapy works better than waiting to see if more radiation is needed later.

This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug, serplulimab, for people with locally advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if it can help shrink or control the cancer before standard treatments.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07340515RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs standard radiation for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial is testing whether a newer, more precise type of radiation (proton therapy) works better than standard radiation (IMRT) for people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. It also includes chemotherapy and immunotherapy to see if the combination can improve outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–70 - NCT07343349Recruiting
Adding a higher radiation dose to prostate tumors during standard radiotherapy

SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07347951RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for rectal cancer patients who want to save their anus
This trial tests a combination of short-course radiation, chemotherapy, and two targeted drugs (Serplulimab and Bevacizumab) for people with a specific type of rectal cancer. It aims to see if this treatment can help shrink the tumor enough to avoid surgery and keep the anus.

Leucine plus chemoradiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding leucine (a simple amino acid) to standard chemoradiation before surgery can help shrink rectal cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that hasn't yet spread to other organs.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07362979RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab with chemo for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests adding toripalimab (an immunotherapy) to two different platinum-based chemotherapy regimens as initial treatment for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The goal is to see if this combination is more effective than standard treatment.
Dongguan, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07364357RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CREPT-618 for advanced liver cancer
This phase 1 trial tests a new drug called CREPT-618 for people with advanced liver cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The drug is designed to target cancer cells with specific markers (CREPT and ASGPR), so only patients whose tumors have these markers can join.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07365592RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, an immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1 antibody), and sitagliptin before surgery for colorectal cancer that has not spread to other organs. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07379268Recruiting
Anti-HER2 drug for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests an antibody-drug conjugate that targets HER2 in people with advanced bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It is for patients whose cancer has not responded to or stopped responding to platinum-based chemotherapy.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07389876Recruiting
Second-line treatment for advanced stomach cancer with nab-paclitaxel
This trial tests a new chemotherapy combination for patients with advanced stomach cancer that has worsened after initial treatment. It aims to find a better second-line option using a drug called nab-paclitaxel.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07393048Recruiting
Personalized ctDNA test to predict rectal cancer treatment response
This trial uses a personalized blood test (ctDNA-MRD) to see how well neoadjuvant therapy works for rectal cancer. If you have stage II or III rectal cancer that can be surgically removed, this study might help guide your treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT02102477Recruiting
Surgery or radiation for prostate cancer in the pelvis
This trial compares surgery versus radiation for men with locally advanced prostate cancer that has not spread to distant sites. It aims to see which treatment works better and is easier to manage for people like you.
AalborgAges 18–75 - NCT02819882Recruiting
Registry study for advanced or metastatic breast cancer
This study collects health and treatment information from people with breast cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery or that has spread to other parts of the body. It may help researchers better understand which treatments are used and how people do over time.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT03179540Recruiting
Watch-and-wait treatment after rectal cancer radiation
This trial looks at a “non-surgery” approach for some people with locally advanced rectal cancer who respond very well to radiation plus chemotherapy. If your cancer shows a complete clinical response on follow-up checks, the study may help you avoid an immediate major operation while closely monitoring you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05136846RecruitingPhase 1
Papaverine with chemoradiation for stage II–III lung cancer
This early-phase trial tests whether adding papaverine to standard chemoradiation can improve treatment for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer (and some limited stage IV cases). It aims to see if the combination is safe and tolerable while targeting the cancer with radiation and chemotherapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07401199Recruiting
AI predicts immunotherapy response in advanced stomach cancer
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze CT scans, blood, and tumor tissue to predict how well your cancer will respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. It aims to personalize treatment for locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07404332RecruitingPhase 1
Combination therapy for tumors resistant to immunotherapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (5-Azacitidine and a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor) for people whose solid tumors stopped responding to standard PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy alone. The goal is to see if this new combination can help shrink the tumor or slow its growth.

Study of YL202 vs. docetaxel for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, YL202, against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a specific type of advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. The goal is to see if YL202 works better for those whose cancer has progressed after prior treatments.
