NiceAges Any age - NCT05260385RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug KC1036 for advanced digestive cancers
This early-phase study tests whether KC1036 can treat advanced digestive system cancers that have come back or spread after standard treatment. It may help people by shrinking tumors or slowing growth, and it will also check safety and side effects.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05217693RecruitingPhase 1
First study drug BB-1705 for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests BB-1705 in people with advanced or metastatic (spread) solid tumors that cannot be removed with surgery. It mainly focuses on safety and how the drug behaves in the body, and may offer an option for patients when standard treatments have not worked.
BeijingAges 18–78 - NCT06767306RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus immunotherapy for limited spread melanoma
This trial tests if combining targeted radiation (SBRT) with standard immunotherapy works better for melanoma that has spread to a few spots in the body (but not the brain). It is for people who have not yet had treatment for their current spread.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04928612RecruitingPhase 1
CBP-1018 for advanced cancers that no standard treatment helped
This early-phase study tests CBP-1018 in people with advanced solid tumors, such as prostate, kidney, or certain lung cancers. It aims to see how the drug works and whether it’s safe enough to continue studying.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05071105Recruiting
Short-course radiation for early breast cancer in older women
This study looks at a brief type of radiation called SBRT given soon after starting hormone therapy for certain early breast cancers in women age 75 and older. It may help treat the cancer locally while aiming to be easier to receive than longer radiation schedules.
Rome, RomeAges 75 years+ - NCT04643418RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced solid tumors you can’t remove
This trial tests MPB-1734, a new study drug, in adults with advanced solid tumors that can’t be removed and for which standard treatment has stopped working. It aims to find out how safe it is and whether it can shrink or control the cancer.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04423185RecruitingPhase 2
Precision medicine trial for rare advanced solid tumors
This study tests targeted drugs or immunotherapy based on the genetic features of your tumor. It may help people with rare, advanced cancers whose disease has progressed after standard treatment options.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04150640RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo drug combination for advanced stomach or esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of chemo drugs (oxaliplatin and liposomal irinotecan) plus trastuzumab works better for people with advanced stomach or esophagus adenocarcinoma that has specific tumor markers (HER2 and PDL1). It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the cancer in people who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04221035RecruitingPhase 3
Trial for children with high-risk neuroblastoma testing next steps
This Phase 3 study tests treatment strategies for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, aiming to improve how well the cancer responds and how long patients can stay in control. It compares different intensities and add-ons at key treatment steps depending on your child’s response and health.
Sydney, RandwickAges Up to 21 years - NCT07101081Recruiting
HER2 in gynecologic cancers: a Brazilian study
This trial is looking at whether HER2, a protein linked to some cancers, is found in different gynecologic tumors. It tests stored tumor tissue from women in Brazil to learn more about this marker.
São PauloAges Any age - NCT03522064RecruitingPhase 2
HRD-positive advanced prostate cancer trial with androgen therapy and chemo
This Phase 2 study tests whether blocking male hormones (androgen therapy) plus the chemotherapy drug carboplatin can shrink advanced prostate cancer in men with specific DNA repair problems. It is for cases where prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is rising even though testosterone is already kept very low.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT02421380Recruiting
Tests how repeatable a special MRI scan is for tumors
This study checks whether a specialized MRI using injected “hyperpolarized pyruvate” gives consistent tumor images when repeated. It may help future patients by improving how reliably this scan can measure tumors.
Montvale, New JerseyAges 21–90 - NCT04969354RecruitingPhase 1
CAIX-targeted CAR-T therapy for advanced kidney cancer
This early-phase study tests a lab-made immune treatment (CAIX-targeted CAR-T cells) for advanced kidney cancer that has not gone away with standard targeted therapy or immunotherapy. If eligible, the goal is to see if the treatment can safely shrink the cancer and improve outcomes.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT05521698RecruitingPhase 1
Bicalutamide study for early bladder cancer in men
This trial tests whether bicalutamide can help men with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (an early form that hasn’t spread into muscle). It is a Phase 1 study, meaning the main goal is to see how safe it is and learn how it behaves in the body for this cancer type.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT01898416RecruitingPhase 2
5-ALA by mouth to reduce regrowth of desmoid tumors
This Phase 2 trial tests whether taking a medicine called 5-ALA by mouth after treatment can lower how often desmoid tumors come back in the same area. If you have a desmoid tumor that can be removed and you meet safety criteria, this study may help determine whether 5-ALA is effective and safe for you.
