- NCT07416474RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drug combos for first-line lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (RC148) plus chemotherapy against another drug (Tislelizumab) plus chemotherapy for people with a type of lung cancer called squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has spread or can't be removed. It's for those who haven't had treatment for advanced disease yet.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT04047953Recruiting
Chemo for stomach cancer to make tumors easier to remove
This trial tests a combination chemotherapy plan—paclitaxel (albumin-bound), oxaliplatin, and S-1 given before surgery—to try to shrink stomach cancer and improve the chance of successful tumor removal. It is for people whose cancer is locally advanced or has spread, but might still be resectable (removable) in certain cases.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04055649RecruitingPhase 2
Test of ONC201 and weekly paclitaxel for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether ONC201 given with weekly paclitaxel can control platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help by shrinking tumors or slowing growth in people whose cancer has progressed after platinum chemotherapy.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04115163RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine with nab-paclitaxel schedule for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a specific timing (schedule) of two chemotherapy drugs—gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel—can work better for metastatic pancreatic cancer. It may help patients by improving how the drugs are delivered while watching for side effects and tumor response.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04136782RecruitingPhase 4

Nilotinib plus paclitaxel for rare cancers that worsened
This Phase 2 study tests how well nilotinib plus paclitaxel work for people with certain rare solid tumors that have gotten worse after standard treatment (or have no standard options). It aims to see whether this combination can shrink tumors and control the cancer for longer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04460352RecruitingPhase 3
Esophageal cancer treatment with chemoradiation plus planned surgery
This trial tests the best way to treat locally advanced squamous cell esophageal cancer: either chemoradiation followed by planned surgery, or monitoring with surgery only if needed. It may help you choose a strategy that controls the cancer while aiming to reduce unnecessary procedures.

Study of toripalimab before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests toripalimab (an immunotherapy) given before surgery for untreated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, either alone or with chemotherapy. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer earlier and see if it improves outcomes for people who plan curative surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04892953RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus focused radiation for progressing stage III lung cancer
This trial studies adding focused radiation to some cancer spots in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer did not fully stop after standard chemoradiation and durvalumab. The goal is to control a small number of growing spots (or more than a few) and improve outcomes after durvalumab.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06976944RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab, Paclitaxel, and Bevacizumab for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, the chemotherapy paclitaxel, and possibly the targeted drug bevacizumab for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has returned after treatment. It aims to see if adding bevacizumab improves outcomes for patients whose tumors are PD-L1 positive.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 18 years+ - NCT07322094RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of TORL-1-23 plus chemo before surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug, TORL-1-23, given with chemotherapy before surgery for women with advanced ovarian cancer. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective in shrinking tumors before they are removed.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05035147RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin-bound paclitaxel plus gemcitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies a chemotherapy combination (albumin-bound paclitaxel and gemcitabine) as first treatment for pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to improve outcomes by testing how well this treatment works in people with locally advanced or metastatic disease.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05039801RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug IACS-6274 tested for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests the experimental drug IACS-6274, sometimes with bevacizumab and paclitaxel, in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to find the safest dose and to learn whether the treatment can shrink or control cancer for certain tumor mutation types.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05092373RecruitingPhase 1
Tumor treating device plus targeted or immune drugs for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether a tumor treating fields device works better when added to standard cancer drugs. It may help people with advanced solid tumors in the chest or belly, especially when standard treatment didn’t work or can’t be tolerated.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05192798RecruitingPhase 2
Albumin-bound chemo plus anti-blood-vessel drugs for TNBC
