Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06689488Recruiting
Microwave ablation for lung cancer via bronchoscopy
This study tests a new, less invasive way to treat lung cancer using microwave energy delivered through a thin tube inserted into the airway. It is for people with small, confirmed lung tumors who are already being considered for surgery, and who cannot or prefer not to have blood thinners.
Amsterdam, The NetherlandsAges 18 years+ - NCT06686394RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Patritumab deruxtecan combinations for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, patritumab deruxtecan, combined with other anti-cancer drugs for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if these combinations can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
