Shenzhen, GuangzhouAges 1–65 - NCT04723316Recruiting
Tumor testing to guide targeted cancer treatment
This trial looks at your tumor (and blood) to find helpful targets so doctors can match you to an experimental targeted therapy, if one fits. It may help by using detailed “tumor profiling” to choose treatments more precisely for your cancer.
BelfastAges 16 years+ - NCT04807127Recruiting
Testing blood and lung fluid markers for lung side effects
This study tries to find early warning markers in lung fluid collected during a bronchoscopy (a camera test of the airways). The goal is to better spot and understand lung inflammation that can happen after immune checkpoint cancer treatments.
Leuven, Flemish BrabantAges 18–120 - NCT04821843RecruitingPhase 3
Study before-surgery treatments for esophageal cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares different “treatments before surgery” for people with esophageal (or esophagus-to-stomach) cancer. It aims to see which approach works better to control the cancer and improve outcomes after surgery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04821778RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemoradiotherapy for esophageal and stomach junction cancer
This Phase 3 study tests a cancer treatment plan that combines chemotherapy and radiation for people with esophageal or esophagus-stomach junction cancer. It aims to see whether this approach works better than standard care for cancers at stages I to IVA.
Anyang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT04900935Recruiting
Survivorship and palliative care planning for metastatic lung cancer
This study tests a more patient-centered way to plan survivorship care and comfort (palliative) care for people with metastatic lung cancer. It may help you get support that matches your goals, especially alongside your current targeted treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04929223RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drug study for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests targeted cancer treatments in people with metastatic colorectal cancer, using genetic “biomarker” results to match you to the right treatment group. It focuses first on safety, and also looks for early signs the treatment may work in specific tumor subgroups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05142800Recruiting
Screening for Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Targeted Therapy
