Recruiting studies
- NCT06907160Recruiting
Genetic testing before lung cancer treatment
This study looks at how tumors respond to chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It uses genetic tests on the tumor and blood to personalize treatment and possibly improve outcomes.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07509034RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted immune cells for recurrent small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a special immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) that targets a protein called B7-H3 on your cancer cells. It is for people with small cell lung cancer or similar neuroendocrine cancers that have returned or not responded to standard treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04790253Recruiting
Check brain radiation timing or frequent MRI scans for SCLC
This study compares two ways to follow and treat small-cell lung cancer in the brain: preventive brain radiation versus close monitoring with MRI scans and treatment only if needed. It may help people avoid unnecessary brain treatment or choose the safer timing strategy.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT04305834RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib plus hormone pills for metastatic breast cancer in older adults
This Phase 2 study tests whether abemaciclib combined with standard hormone (endocrine) therapy can better control metastatic breast cancer in people age 70 and older. It may help if your cancer has already grown despite prior hormone therapy and/or other cancer medicines.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 70 years+ - NCT06422806RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo for aggressive sarcoma
This trial compares a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy (doxorubicin) versus chemotherapy alone for people with aggressive, poorly differentiated sarcomas that have spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps shrink tumors or slow their growth better than chemotherapy alone.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03351842RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery alone or plus chemotherapy for early lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery helps people with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma that has a micropapillary pattern. It’s testing whether chemotherapy given after complete tumor removal can improve outcomes compared with surgery alone.
ShanghaiAges 19–70 - NCT04037995Recruiting
Real-world study of advanced liver disease in China
This study looks at people with very advanced liver problems to better understand what happens in real life. It may help doctors improve care for advanced cirrhosis and certain liver cancers.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04045691Recruiting
Real-world targeted treatment for BRAF-mutant melanoma
This trial studies how doctors use encorafenib plus binimetinib for real-world care in people with BRAF V600–mutated melanoma that can’t be removed by surgery or has spread. It may help improve understanding of which patients benefit and what happens in everyday clinical practice.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT04710797Recruiting
Lymph node surgery for early-stage ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether removing (dissecting) lymph nodes during surgery can improve care for people with early-stage ovarian cancer that still needs chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have certain ovarian cancer types and your scans and surgery do not show clearly suspicious lymph nodes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04829708RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing brain spread in limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to manage limited-stage small cell lung cancer that has improved after initial chemotherapy and radiation. Participants will either get preventive brain radiation or have regular brain MRI scans instead, to see which approach is safer and works better.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT03353467Recruiting
Surgery through the nose for early nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive surgery done through the nose can help people newly diagnosed with early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer. It looks for patients who have not had prior cancer treatment and who are healthy enough for the procedure and follow-up.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05345860Recruiting
Using MRD results to guide extra treatment after breast surgery
This trial checks “MRD” (tiny leftover cancer signals after surgery) to help decide the best additional treatment for early-stage breast cancer. It may help tailor therapy so you get the most useful medicines while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04973306RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery versus chemo-radiation
This trial compares adding immunotherapy to standard chemo-radiation before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve how well the tumor responds and whether patients do better after surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05686434RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib after surgery for early-stage EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests osimertinib (a targeted pill) given after surgery to help prevent early-stage lung cancer from coming back. It’s for people with fully removed, high-risk stage I non-small cell lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03621904Recruiting
Predicting response to hormone treatment in endometrial cancer
This study looks at whether biopsy test results can help predict how well hormone therapy will work for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. It may help doctors choose the most effective hormonal treatment sooner.
NijmegenAges 18–110 - NCT05833659Recruiting
Comparing two breast reconstruction positions after mastectomy
This trial compares two surgical techniques for breast reconstruction: placing the implant under the chest muscle versus in front of it. It may help people understand which approach works better for comfort and healing after mastectomy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05882773Recruiting
Registry for adults with certain blood cancers
This study is a “registry,” meaning it collects information about adults with specific types of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). It helps researchers better understand these diseases and may improve future care.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT04370496Recruiting
Testing minimally invasive endoscopic stapler surgery for early cervix cancer
This trial tests how safe a specific minimally invasive surgery tool (an endoscopic stapler) is for people with early-stage cervical cancer. If you qualify, you would get surgery to remove the cervix area using a minimally invasive approach and the study will track safety outcomes.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT05945407Recruiting
Fertility-sparing treatment for early endometrial cancer
This trial looks at a fertility-preserving treatment plan for people with early-stage endometrial cancer who want to keep the ability to have children. It may help you avoid surgery that removes fertility, if you meet the trial’s safety and eligibility rules.

Check immune treatment before surgery for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests an “immunotherapy” medicine given before surgery for stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to shrink the cancer and make curative surgery more successful while monitoring safety and response.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05378087Recruiting
Compare two ways to plan treatment for cervical cancer
This study compares two staging methods—using surgery results versus imaging tests—to help doctors plan treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may improve how accurately the cancer is mapped, which could affect treatment choices and outcomes.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03742687Recruiting
Testing a shorter, stronger radiation schedule for lung cancer
This trial studies a different way to deliver radiation to people with locally advanced, non-operable non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by aiming to treat the tumor effectively with a different radiation timing and dose pattern.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06035016Recruiting
Pyrotinib and capecitabine after surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This study tests whether taking pyrotinib (a daily pill) with capecitabine (another pill) after breast cancer surgery can help prevent HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer from coming back. It is for women who have already had their cancer removed and meet certain risk criteria.
