Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–65 - NCT04486131Recruiting
Test for treatment of recurrent rectal cancer in side lymph nodes
This trial focuses on rectal cancer that has come back in the side lymph nodes near the pelvis. It tests how to treat that “lateral nodal recurrence” to improve outcomes by targeting these specific lymph nodes.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05501353Recruiting
Study tumor biomarkers in recurrent metastatic colon cancer
This study looks for blood/tumor signals (“biomarkers”) that may help predict outcomes in people whose colorectal cancer returns and spreads after surgery. It mainly helps researchers understand who may do better or worse, which can guide future care.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–99 - NCT05237063Recruiting
Predicting kidney stone recurrence and complications using precision medicine
This study looks for better ways to predict when kidney stones may come back and what complications might happen. It may help doctors personalize follow-up and prevention plans based on information collected from you.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05738980Recruiting
Reduce liver cancer return after surgery using anti–TIM-3
This trial studies whether blocking TIM-3 (an immune “brake”) can help stop hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) from coming back after a curative surgery. It may help by improving your immune system’s ability to find and control remaining cancer cells.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03183115Recruiting
Prevent return of esophagus pre-cancer after endoscopy
This trial looks at a prevention treatment to stop esophagus abnormal growth (pre-cancer or very early cancer) from coming back after successful endoscopic submucosal dissection. It focuses on people whose esophagus lining shows a “speckled” pattern on a special iodine test, which may mean higher risk of recurrence.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–90 - NCT05768464RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery aftercare for non-clear kidney cancer at high risk
This Phase 2 trial studies an after-surgery treatment for people with non-clear types of kidney cancer who are at high risk of coming back. It aims to lower the chance of recurrence by giving extra therapy after your tumor is completely removed.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05201508Recruiting
Sutures versus special mesh for hiatal hernia repair
This study compares two ways of closing tissue during laparoscopic surgery for a severe hiatal hernia. It may help doctors learn which method gives better outcomes and fewer problems after surgery.
OuluAges 18 years+ - NCT05348291Recruiting
Ventilation tubes for babies with frequent ear infections
This trial studies whether placing ventilation (ear) tubes in very young children can reduce how often ear infections happen. It focuses on babies under 1 year old who have a high pattern of repeat ear infections.
LundAges 1–2 - NCT05255471RecruitingPhase 3
Olaparib after surgery for recurrent ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether olaparib (a pill cancer medicine) works better than standard platinum chemotherapy after a second surgery for recurrent ovarian cancer. It’s for people whose cancer returned after initial PARP-inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance and aims to see if treatment can control the cancer for longer with acceptable side effects.
