Pre-surgery radiation, then mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction
This Phase 1 study looks at giving radiation before surgery for people with locally advanced breast cancer, then performing a mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. It aims to see whether this combined approach can shrink the cancer before surgery and safely allow reconstruction afterward.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07266493RecruitingPhase 2
Envafolimab plus chemo for esophageal cancer before surgery
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (Envafolimab) combined with standard chemotherapy before surgery for esophageal cancer that has not spread far. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07289282Recruiting
Study of blood markers and chemotherapy response in breast cancer
This trial is studying tiny molecules in your blood (called microRNAs) to see if they can predict how well breast cancer responds to chemotherapy given before surgery. If you are starting neoadjuvant chemotherapy, this study may help personalize your treatment.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07324824RecruitingPhase 2
Sintilimab plus bevacizumab before surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests two drugs, sintilimab and bevacizumab, given before surgery to treat liver cancer that can be removed. It's for people with a certain stage of liver cancer who haven't had other treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07351487RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic drug for TNBC before surgery
This trial tests whether adding sintilimab (an immunotherapy) and bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood supply to tumors) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for women with stage II or III triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
HefeiAges 18–75 - NCT07359040Recruiting
Testing a new drug before surgery for lung cancer
This trial studies whether a new drug called Ivonescimab can improve outcomes when given before surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and make them easier to remove.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07369882Recruiting
Less extensive surgery after immunotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial compares a less extensive surgery to the standard surgery for patients with advanced head and neck cancer who have responded well to initial chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The goal is to see if a smaller operation can be just as effective while causing fewer side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07386158RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for clear cell kidney cancer
This trial tests whether giving pucotenlimab (an immunotherapy drug) with vorolanib (a targeted therapy) before surgery helps shrink clear cell kidney tumors and makes kidney-sparing surgery safer. It is for people with localized, non-metastatic disease where the tumor is difficult to remove with partial nephrectomy.
