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+ - NCT07831772Recruiting
Maintenance radiotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This study tests an extra course of radiation therapy after standard treatment for glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. The goal is to see if it helps keep the cancer from coming back.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 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+ - NCT07826858Recruiting
Special camera to guide prostate cancer surgery

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+ - NCT06470256RecruitingPhase 1
Surgery plus targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests if removing the main liver tumor with surgery, followed by targeted therapy and immunotherapy, can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread a little. It is for those who have not had prior treatment and whose liver is still working well.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT04842812RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized immune cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests engineered immune cells (TILs/CAR-TILs) made from your tumor to treat advanced solid cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. It may help your immune system better recognize and attack the cancer, but it is mainly focused on safety and early results.
GuangzhouAges 18–85 - NCT03778814RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized T-cell therapy for advanced lung or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment made from your own blood cells (T cells) to fight advanced lung cancer or other solid tumors. You may be eligible if your tumor can be biopsied and the lab can successfully prepare T cells that strongly recognize and attack your cancer.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04803318RecruitingPhase 2
Test of three targeted medicines for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 2 study tests trametinib plus everolimus plus lenvatinib in people with advanced solid tumors that have come back or cannot be treated anymore. It aims to control tumor growth and symptoms when standard options have not worked.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT03192501Recruiting
Using prior scans to guide cancer treatment choices
This trial tests whether using existing “PACS” scan images to guide individualized cancer treatment (compared with standard care) can improve outcomes for people with advanced or metastatic cancer. It may help doctors make more precise treatment decisions using your past imaging.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05779917RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cells for cancers that have specific target proteins
This Phase 1 trial tests a customized immune therapy (CAR-T cells) for advanced cancers that have the proteins mesothelin, GPC3, and/or GUCY2C. It may help your body better recognize and kill cancer cells, but early-phase trials mainly focus on safety and learning how well the treatment works.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03198052RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for cancers with specific protein targets
This Phase 1 study tests CAR-T cells that are engineered to recognize several cancer “markers” (specific proteins) found on some advanced cancers. It may help by directing the patient’s own immune cells to attack cancer, but eligibility depends on matching the required protein markers.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03755739RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Checkpoint cancer drug given into or near tumors
This trial studies whether giving immunotherapy “checkpoint inhibitor” medicine directly into the tumor area (and/or the artery feeding it), along with a chemotherapy-style drug, can work better for advanced solid tumors. It aims to boost the immune system’s ability to attack cancer while still being safe for people with measurable tumors.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05187338RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drugs that target immune checkpoints for solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a combination of three immune “checkpoint” medicines in people with advanced solid cancers. It aims to see how well they work and what side effects occur, including when given through a specific liver-focused treatment in eligible patients.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05060796RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T treatment for advanced lung cancer with EGFR and CXCL13 signs
This early-phase study tests a custom CAR-T cell therapy made to target EGFR in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You may be eligible if your tumor has specific lab markers (EGFR and CXCL13) and if your overall heart, liver, kidney, and blood counts can safely support treatment.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT05341492RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T therapy for EGFR/B7H3-positive lung and triple-negative breast cancer
This early-phase trial tests CAR-T cells designed to find and attack tumors that show EGFR or B7H3 markers. It may help people with advanced lung cancer or triple-negative breast cancer after standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06359275RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for locally advanced or recurrent pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (PD-1), chemotherapy, and a special type of radiation called PULSAR for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer or cancer that has come back only in the pancreas area. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors or keep them from growing.
ShanhaiAges 18–75 - NCT06478927Recruiting
Palbociclib for advanced liver cancer after other treatments
This trial tests a drug called palbociclib for people with advanced liver cancer who have already tried at least two other treatments. The goal is to see if palbociclib can help shrink the cancer or slow its growth.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06474338Recruiting

Comparing treatments for hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer
This trial looks at combining hormone therapy with either chemotherapy (docetaxel), a targeted pill (like abiraterone or enzalutamide), or radiation to the prostate tumor for men whose prostate cancer has spread but is still sensitive to hormones. The goal is to see which approach works best for controlling the cancer.
Orbassano, TorinoAges Any age - NCT06086197RecruitingPhase 2
A drug combo for early relapsed or refractory DLBCL
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs for people with a type of lymphoma called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has either come back early or never fully responded to first treatment. The goal is to see if this drug combination can help control the lymphoma.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05410717RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK cell therapy for certain solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests a lab-made immune cell treatment for advanced solid tumors that show specific targets (including Claudin 6, GPC3, Mesothelin, or AXL). It may help the immune system better recognize and kill tumor cells, but eligibility depends on test results and your overall health.
