Liverpool, MerseysideAges 18 years+ - NCT06463717Recruiting
Stem cell transplant timing for multiple myeloma with no cancer cells left
This trial looks at people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who have no detectable cancer cells after initial treatment. It aims to see if these patients can do well without a stem cell transplant or with a delayed one, reducing unnecessary side effects.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT05532696RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ABT-101 for advanced solid tumors and HER2-mutant lung cancer
This study tests ABT-101, a new experimental treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors. A second part specifically looks at people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has HER2 mutations, to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT06161207RecruitingPhase 3
Laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer using 3D and dye
This trial tests a new way to remove stomach cancer using 3D-4K cameras and a special dye during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It may help surgeons see the cancer better and remove it more precisely.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06341335RecruitingPhase 3
AK104 and AK109 plus paclitaxel for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of two experimental immunotherapies (AK104 and AK109) with a standard chemo drug (paclitaxel) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has grown after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this new combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer better than chemo alone.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT03769129Recruiting
Pembrolizumab plus lung ablation for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether combining pembrolizumab (an immune treatment) with a lung ablation procedure can be safer and more effective for advanced non-small cell lung cancer after standard first treatment fails or the cancer comes back. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07832734Recruiting
Brain tumor tissue analysis for glioma diagnosis
This study looks at the chemicals and genes in brain tumors called gliomas to find better ways to diagnose and treat them. People with a brain mass that needs surgery may be able to join.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07831902RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone tablets plus radiotherapy for certain endometrial cancers
This trial compares two ways to treat endometrial cancer after surgery: a new option of just radiotherapy plus a daily hormone tablet (progestin) versus the current standard of radiotherapy plus chemotherapy. It aims to see if the new option works just as well with fewer side effects.
BathAges 18 years+ - NCT07829848Recruiting
Skip extra radiation for breast cancer patients who respond well to treatment
This trial tests whether women and men with advanced, non-metastatic breast cancer can safely skip an extra radiation boost to the lymph nodes if their tumors respond well to pre-surgery chemotherapy or targeted therapy. The goal is to reduce side effects while keeping cancer control.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07832396Enrolling by invitation
Mammogram reminder study for women in Singapore
This study tests different ways to encourage women in Singapore to get a mammogram, which is an X-ray of the breast that helps find cancer early. If you are due for a mammogram, this study may help you get screened sooner.
SingaporeAges 50–69 - NCT07831993RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with chemotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new combination of a drug that helps your immune system fight cancer, called sintilimab, along with chemotherapy. It is for people who have bile duct cancer or gallbladder cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and have not had treatment for this stage yet. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors or stops them from growing.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07833319RecruitingPhase 2
Methylene blue injection to prevent leaks after rectal cancer surgery
This study tests whether injecting a blue dye into the rectum during surgery can help prevent leaks where the bowel is reconnected, and reduce the chance of needing a permanent colostomy bag. It is for people with mid or low rectal cancer who are having a specific type of surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07827183Recruiting
Personalized discharge help for lung cancer surgery patients
This study tests a personalized discharge education program using AI to help patients recover at home after lung cancer surgery. The goal is to improve recovery by giving tailored instructions and support.
Siping, JilinAges 18–80 - NCT07827001Recruiting
Monitoring brain tumors during systemic treatment
This study tests whether it's safe to skip radiation and instead rely on a new systemic treatment (like immunotherapy or targeted therapy) to control brain tumors that have spread from other parts of the body. It might help you manage your disease while avoiding the side effects of radiation.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07833085Recruiting
Imaging test for solid tumors using a special tracer
This study tests a new imaging method that uses a special tracer to find solid tumors in the body. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly and guide treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07828704RecruitingPhase 2
Using fluorescent dye to see kidney cancer during removal surgery
This trial tests whether a special dye, taken as a drink before surgery, makes kidney cancer cells glow under a fluorescent light. This may help surgeons remove the tumor more completely while saving healthy kidney tissue.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT07826338Recruiting
Mobile app support for breast cancer patients starting chemotherapy
This study tests a smartphone app that provides support and information to women with breast cancer who are starting chemotherapy for the first time. The app may help manage symptoms and improve your experience during treatment.
Izmir, İzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07830134Recruiting
Brain training for childhood medulloblastoma survivors
This study tests a brain-training method that uses real-time feedback to help improve memory and thinking in young people who survived medulloblastoma. It may help with everyday tasks like remembering things and staying focused.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 10–25 - NCT07832006RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination treatment for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It combines a procedure (irreversible electroporation) that uses electrical pulses to destroy cancer cells, with targeted therapy (lenvatinib) and immunotherapy (sintilimab) to help your immune system fight the cancer.
Beijing, No. 1 Shuaifuyuan, Dongcheng District, Beijing, ChinaAges 18–75 - NCT07831369RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for recurrent glioma
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—valproic acid, irinotecan, and simvastatin—to see if they can help people whose brain tumor (glioma) has come back despite earlier treatment. The goal is to slow or stop tumor growth.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18–98 - NCT07826858Recruiting
Special camera to guide prostate cancer surgery
This study tests a special camera that helps surgeons see prostate cancer tissue more clearly during surgery. It may help make surgery more precise, which could improve outcomes.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07833566Recruiting
Biopsy-site marker placement in breast cancer surgery
This study looks at the safety and usefulness of placing a marker at the biopsy site in women with invasive breast cancer before surgery. It may help ensure the right area is removed during surgery.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07829081Recruiting
Watch-and-wait after immunotherapy for early-stage GI cancers
This study looks at whether some patients with early-stage stomach, colon, or rectal cancers that are mismatch repair-deficient (a genetic feature making them more likely to respond to immunotherapy) can safely avoid surgery and instead be monitored closely after treatment with immunotherapy. It aims to confirm if this watch-and-wait approach is as effective and helps patients avoid major operations.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07830225Recruiting
Using a blood test to guide how long immunotherapy continues for advanced melanoma
This study looks at using a blood test that detects tiny pieces of cancer DNA (called ctDNA) to help decide how long patients with advanced melanoma should stay on immunotherapy. It may help some patients safely stop treatment earlier if the blood test shows the cancer is under control.
