Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05753618RecruitingPhase 4
Skipping growth-factor shots during breast cancer chemotherapy
This trial tests whether patients can safely skip a preventive white-blood-cell growth shot (G-CSF) while receiving a common breast cancer chemotherapy regimen. It may help reduce injections and side effects, while watching closely for fevers and low white blood counts.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05757336RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug mix for unresectable gallbladder cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of cancer medicines (gemcitabine plus albumin-paclitaxel) along with immune therapy (sintilimab) and a blood-vessel–targeting drug (bevacizumab). It’s for people with gallbladder cancer that can’t be removed by surgery, to see if the treatment controls the cancer and improves outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05766800RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 plus chemotherapy before surgery for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether giving a PD-1 antibody together with standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with stage IIIB–IIIC non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and make treatment before surgery more effective.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05800587RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced-dose chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies a lower (reduced) dose of chemotherapy in people with advanced lung cancer who may not tolerate standard treatment. It aims to see if the treatment still works while being safer for “compromised” patients.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05862064RecruitingPhase 3
Adding an immune drug and anti-blood-vessel treatment to chemo
This study tests whether adding an immune therapy (a PD-1 antibody) plus a blood-vessel–blocking treatment to standard chemo improves outcomes for people with surgically treated triple-negative breast cancer. Everyone gets chemotherapy, but some will also get the added drugs to try to reduce cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05905887RecruitingPhase 2
Rivoceranib and paclitaxel for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining rivoceranib with paclitaxel can shrink or control advanced metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) after standard medicines have stopped working. It may help people whose GIST has progressed despite prior treatments like imatinib, sunitinib, and regorafenib.
Seoul, SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT05941338RecruitingPhase 2
Tirelizumab plus chemotherapy before head and neck surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests tirelizumab combined with two chemotherapy medicines before surgery for certain head and neck squamous cell cancers. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes after the operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05977998RecruitingPhase 2
Paclitaxel given during surgery for stomach cancer spread to the belly
This trial studies whether adding paclitaxel chemotherapy around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It targets cancers confirmed by testing of belly fluid or by laparoscopy/laparotomy, and may help by treating cancer cells right at the time of surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06000917RecruitingPhase 2
