Recruiting studies
- NCT05222087RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation for newly diagnosed metastatic lung cancer without driver mutations

TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07637448RecruitingPhase 2
EGFR-targeted therapy plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests combining two types of cancer drugs—a targeted pill that attacks a specific mutation in your lung cancer cells, followed by an immunotherapy injection when your tumor stops shrinking. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05798845RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab plus radiation before surgery for stage II–IIIA lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding toripalimab (an immunotherapy medicine) to radiation can improve outcomes for people with operable stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. It’s designed for cancers that can be fully removed with surgery, and it aims to see if this combination helps more than radiation alone/standard care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07016126RecruitingPhase 3
Study of D-BACE, chemo, and carlizumab for lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new drug (D-BACE), chemotherapy, and carlizumab for people with a certain type and stage of lung cancer that can be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03474822RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Plasmodium immune treatment for breast and liver cancers
This early-phase study tests an immune-based treatment (using Plasmodium) for people with advanced breast cancer or advanced liver cancer. It aims to see whether the treatment is safe and whether it can help the body’s immune system fight the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT03275194RecruitingPhase 2
HIPEC during interval surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial looks at whether a heated chemotherapy treatment given in the abdomen during a planned second surgery (HIPEC) can improve outcomes for certain advanced ovarian cancers. It is for people who have already had initial chemotherapy and partially responded, with enough health to safely undergo surgery.
Mexico CityAges 18–70 - NCT06361589Recruiting
Lorlatinib for advanced ALK-positive lung cancer
This study is testing a targeted therapy called lorlatinib in people with advanced ALK-positive lung cancer. It aims to see how well this oral medication works in a real-world setting.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06058663RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation and immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests combining a targeted radiation treatment (radioembolization) with two immunotherapy drugs (tremelimumab and durvalumab) for people with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to shrink tumors and control cancer spread to lymph nodes or one other organ.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06667908RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a drug with chemoradiation for stage 3 lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, JNJ-90301900, given together with standard chemotherapy and radiation, followed by maintenance immunotherapy (durvalumab) for people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if adding this drug improves outcomes.
