Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06810895Enrolling by invitation
Immunotherapy plus chemo for recurrent cervical cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called cadonilimab (AK104) combined with standard chemotherapy for women whose small cell neuroendocrine cervical cancer has returned or spread. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors or slow the cancer better than chemotherapy alone.
WuhanAges 18–75 - NCT06272214RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant radiotherapy for esophageal cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests if adding radiation therapy after surgery improves outcomes for people with esophageal squamous cell cancer who received immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery but did not achieve a complete response. It aims to see if this approach can lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07572864RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and vaccine before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new combination of immunotherapy (a drug that helps your immune system fight cancer) and a mitochondrial vaccine given before surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to help reduce cancer recurrence and improve survival after surgery.
