Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07840677RecruitingPhase 2
Cholesterol-lowering drug plus chemoimmunotherapy before surgery for advanced colon cancer
This study tests a new treatment combination for people with locally advanced colon cancer that has not spread. It combines a cholesterol-lowering drug (tafolecimab) with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery, to see if it helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07835893RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus chemotherapy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors with liver spread
This trial tests a new combination of lenvatinib (a targeted therapy) plus standard chemotherapy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to the liveraging after first-line treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07835412Recruiting
Comparing surgery outcomes for pituitary tumors found during health checkups vs. regular clinic visits
This study looks back at people who had surgery for a pituitary tumor to see if the way the tumor was found—such as during a routine health checkup versus during a visit because of symptoms—affects the surgery and recovery. It might help doctors understand if screening helps catch these tumors earlier.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–85 - NCT07837739Recruiting
EGFR-targeted pill after surgery for early lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking an EGFR-targeted pill after lung cancer surgery can lower the chance of the cancer coming back. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07838207Recruiting
Molecular markers and outcomes in early-stage endometrial cancer
This study looks at women with certain high-risk types of endometrial cancer that have not spread into the muscle wall of the uterus. It aims to understand how these cancers behave and whether lymph node testing is needed, which could help guide treatment decisions.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06462378RecruitingPhase 2
Proton therapy for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation called proton therapy can work well for cervical cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see if this treatment can shrink tumors with fewer side effects.
CopenhagenAges 18–99 - NCT06462053RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiotherapy plus chemo and immunotherapy for early low rectal cancer
This study is testing whether a short course of radiation combined with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug works better than the standard longer radiation and chemotherapy for early-stage rectal cancer that is low in the rectum. The goal is to see if this shorter treatment can help patients avoid surgery or have a better outcome.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT04814407Recruiting
Test blood and other markers to detect early lung cancer
This study looks for new “epigenetic” signals in blood (signals about how genes are turned on/off) to help detect lung cancer early. You might be able to join if you are being evaluated for possible lung cancer or have small, unclear spots on a lung CT scan.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04893785RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus temozolomide for advanced neuroendocrine lung tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining cabozantinib with temozolomide can control advanced lung or gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors that have grown after prior treatments. It also closely monitors safety, including blood counts, organ function, and other side effects.
Naples, CampaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05860361Recruiting
Registry to collect proton therapy data for cancer patients
This study collects high-quality information about people who are planning to receive proton therapy for cancer or other tumors. It does not change your treatment; it helps researchers improve proton therapy for future patients.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06464068RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo for first-line advanced extrapulmonary small cell cancer
This trial tests a new combination of durvalumab (an immunotherapy) plus standard chemotherapy for people with advanced small cell carcinoma that started outside the lung and has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combo works better than chemo alone.
Reggio EmiliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06463834RecruitingPhase 2
Sintilimab plus chemo before surgery for esophageal cancer
This study tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) with chemotherapy given before surgery for a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
