First study of AK109 plus AK104 for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of two immune-targeting drugs (AK109 and AK104) in people with advanced solid tumors that can’t be treated with standard options, or where standard treatment didn’t work or wasn’t tolerated. It aims to find safe dosing and whether the treatment can shrink tumors or control the disease.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05064124Recruiting
Real-time healthcare system during colonoscopy for colon cancer
This study tests a new real-time healthcare system meant to improve how doctors find and monitor colon cancer risk during colonoscopy. You might be able to take part if you are scheduled for a non-emergency colonoscopy and meet other safety and medical criteria.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT04819243RecruitingPhase 2
Test a BRCA-targeted drug plan for advanced ER-positive breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests how well a treatment plan using palbociclib followed by talazoparib (and possibly atezolizumab) works in certain people with advanced ER-positive breast cancer. It may help by targeting cancer biology linked to BRCA/HRD changes and by strengthening how the cancer is controlled.
Seoul, Gannam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT04767659Recruiting
Optical imaging to predict full response to breast cancer chemo
This study uses a light-based scanner (optical imaging) during neoadjuvant chemotherapy to see how your breast cancer responds and to predict whether treatment will fully clear the tumor. If you qualify, it may help researchers better match imaging patterns to treatment success.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05538091RecruitingPhase 2
Testing vismodegib plus atezolizumab for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining vismodegib with atezolizumab can slow or shrink platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It targets cancers that grow again within 6 months after platinum chemotherapy.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05046080Recruiting
Testing after diagnosis of clear cell cervical cancer
This study is for people who have been diagnosed with clear cell cancer of the cervix. It looks at cancer tissue and related lab tests to better understand the disease and possibly guide care decisions.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05436093Recruiting
PET scan using a tumor-targeting probe in solid tumors
This trial studies whether a special PET scan probe that targets CLDN18.2 can help show solid tumors in the body. If you have a solid tumor that can be measured on scan, you may be invited to have imaging with the probe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04720339Recruiting
Testing blood DNA changes in lung cancer on immunotherapy
This study checks whether tiny bits of tumor DNA in the blood can be measured over time in people with non-small cell lung cancer who are receiving immunotherapy. It aims to see if these blood tests can help track the cancer response or changes during treatment.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04745949RecruitingPhase 2
Testing first-line antibody plus immunotherapy for mediastinal lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of antibody therapy and immunotherapy (plus standard chemo) as first treatment for primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. It may help shrink the lymphoma and improve how long patients stay in remission.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05402696Recruiting
Study of advanced surgery care for colorectal tumors
This study follows adults who are referred for treatment of a specific type of colorectal tumor that involves the left side of the colon. It aims to improve care and outcomes for people needing advanced surgery.
Saint Cloud, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04786977Recruiting
Measuring a nerve-related eye signal in children on vincristine
This study checks how children’s pupil responses look while they are receiving vincristine (a cancer medicine). The goal is to learn whether a simple eye measurement can reflect how the body is responding to treatment.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 6–18 - NCT04742621Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon cancer that spread only to the liver
This trial studies using a liver transplant to treat colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but not anywhere else. It may help people with limited liver-only spread whose disease hasn’t worsened for a while.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT04797143Recruiting
Program to help people take oral cancer medicines as prescribed
This trial studies whether a team-based clinic visit program can improve how well people stick to their oral (by mouth) cancer medicines. It may help by offering extra support at the start of treatment or after a cancer comes back.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05382728RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug for EGFR-mutant lung cancer without prior treatment
This Phase 3 trial studies TY-9591 in people with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR gene changes. It’s for those who haven’t had earlier medicines for advanced lung cancer, and it aims to see if the drug works better or safer than the comparison treatment.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT06767306RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus immunotherapy for limited spread melanoma
This trial tests if combining targeted radiation (SBRT) with standard immunotherapy works better for melanoma that has spread to a few spots in the body (but not the brain). It is for people who have not yet had treatment for their current spread.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04749446Recruiting
Study of outcomes in breast sarcoma patients
This study looks at the medical details and outcomes of people with breast sarcoma. It may help doctors better understand what treatments and factors are linked to different results over time.
Bologna, BOAges 19 years+ - NCT05027321Recruiting
Self-hypnosis to ease stress during breast biopsy
This study tests whether guided self-hypnosis—either by using a “mental anchor” or by a more conversational style—can reduce stress or discomfort during a breast macrobiopsy. It may help patients feel calmer during the procedure.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05276310RecruitingPhase 1
Test IMC-002 for advanced solid tumors after standard treatment fails
This Phase 1 study tests IMC-002 in people with advanced cancers that did not respond to standard therapy. It may help by trying a new immune-targeting drug approach when other options have failed.
Goyang-siAges 19 years+ - NCT04938986Recruiting
Testing a tumor marker to predict colon cancer relapse risk
This study looks at whether a lab test on your tumor can better predict the chance that non-metastatic colon cancer will come back after surgery. Researchers will compare relapse risk using the Immunoscore® test to help guide follow-up and treatment decisions.
MarseilleAges 18–80 - NCT04704648Recruiting
Surgery for a one-eye surface tumor in people with HIV
This study looks at whether removing a suspected pre-cancer/cancer growth on the surface of the eye can be done safely in people living with HIV. It is a feasibility (safety and practical) study, helping doctors refine the best surgical approach and follow-up.
KampalaAges 18 years+ - NCT04904757Recruiting
CESM contrast mammogram screening for dense breasts
This trial tests a newer kind of breast screening scan that uses a special dye (contrast) to better show breast tissue. It may help people with very dense breasts get clearer screening images.

Fitness study for kids after cancer treatment
This study looks at how children and teens’ heart and fitness recover after cancer treatment. If you live in Krefeld and are at least 6 weeks past treatment, the study may offer a structured follow-up fitness assessment to see what helps recovery.
KrefeldAges 7–23 - NCT04665739RecruitingPhase 2
Lutetium Lu-177 for lung carcinoid tumors with somatostatin receptors
This trial tests lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, a targeted radiation treatment, for advanced lung neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors that have a specific marker called somatostatin receptors. It may help shrink tumors by delivering radiation directly to cancer cells that “light up” on a special scan.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05394831RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an EGFR-targeted drug for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (JIN-A02) in people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer has specific EGFR mutations. It mainly checks whether the treatment is safe and tolerable, and how the body handles the drug, with possible benefit depending on your mutation type.
