GP plus adebrelimab vs. chemo alone for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy drugs (GP) plus an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) before standard treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone for shrinking tumors.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06445088Recruiting
Testing a new EBV DNA test for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial is testing a new way to diagnose nasopharyngeal cancer using a special test that looks at a change in the EBV virus DNA. It is for people who may have symptoms of this cancer or have tested positive for EBV, but have not yet been treated.
Fuzhou, FujianAges Any age - NCT06472570Recruiting
Targeted radiation for head and neck tumors
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiosurgery for people with head or neck tumors. It may be an option for those who need radiation or chemoradiation as their main treatment or after surgery.
Gliwice, GliwicwAges 18–80 - NCT06472583RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests giving immunotherapy combined with a precise, high-dose radiation boost before surgery for HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes, especially for cancers that are more advanced or have spread to a few other spots in the body.
GliwiceAges 18 years+ - NCT04952272RecruitingPhase 1
Shots into the tumor to boost the immune system
This Phase 1 study tests an injection given directly into an advanced solid tumor to help the immune system better recognize and attack cancer. It may help people with advanced solid tumors, but the goal at this early stage is mainly to check safety and how the treatment works.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06472388RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two doses of everolimus for neuroendocrine tumors
This trial compares two daily doses (5 mg vs 10 mg) of everolimus, a targeted therapy, to see which works better and is safer for people with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). You may qualify if your cancer has grown despite previous treatment and you are in relatively good health.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 16 years+ - NCT06385418RecruitingPhase 2
Colon chemotherapy for colorectal cancer
This trial tests putting a chemo drug (fluorouracil) directly into the colon through a tube. It's for people with colorectal cancer who are already getting other cancer treatment, to see if adding local chemo helps shrink the main tumor.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT03952065RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Neck artery immune-therapy vs IV for head and neck cancer
This trial compares giving immune therapy into the neck artery versus giving it through a vein (IV) for people with head and neck cancers. It aims to see which method works better and is safer by helping the immune system attack the cancer.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06195384RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized mRNA vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine made from your tumor's unique markers (neoantigens) to train your immune system to fight cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have not had gene therapy and are healthy enough for the vaccine.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03882840RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T-like NK cell therapy for cancers with low MHC-I
This early-stage trial tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (T-like NK cells) for advanced cancers that have low or missing MHC-I on their cells. Because the treatment aims to “re-activate” the immune system against these cancers, you may be eligible if your cancer matches this feature and you meet safety requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT03949231RecruitingPhase 3
Infusion immunotherapy through the liver artery for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immune “brakes” medicines (PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4) delivered through the liver’s artery, to help treat advanced liver cancer. It may help the immune system attack the cancer more effectively, especially if other local liver treatments aren’t possible or have stopped working.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05772559Recruiting
Study of AML genes and drug response in young patients
This trial looks at how childhood, teen, and young adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) changes at the genetic level and how cells respond to multiple drugs. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best and how leukemia interacts with supportive cells in the bone marrow.
AmiensAges Up to 25 years - NCT06195293RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized cancer vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from unique markers on your tumor cells (called neoantigens). The goal is to help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have not had gene therapy and are otherwise relatively healthy.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06196294RecruitingPhase 1
Engineered immune cells for cancers with GPC3 or mesothelin
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy made from your own cells (gamma-delta T cells) that are engineered to find and attack cancers that have GPC3 or mesothelin proteins. It may be an option for people with advanced cancer who have not had gene therapy before and are in generally good health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06466889Recruiting
Mastocytosis Registry of Zurich
This study is a registry (a simple data collection) for people with mastocytosis or hypertryptasemia who are treated at the University Hospital of Zurich. It aims to gather information to better understand these conditions and improve care.
ZurichAges Any age - NCT06476158Recruiting
Safer personalized cancer follow-up with digital tools
This study tests a personalized digital follow-up system for cancer patients receiving immunotherapy. It aims to make your care safer and more tailored to you.
Bodø, NordlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06476093Recruiting
Radiation plus anlotinib for lung cancer brain spread
This trial tests a combination of focused radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) and an oral targeted therapy called anlotinib for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It may offer a way to control brain metastases without more invasive procedures.
Lianyungang, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06475469Recruiting
Immune system in untreated CLL and infection risk
This study looks at how the immune system works in people with untreated CLL and tries to find ways to predict who might get infections. It aims to help doctors better protect patients from infections in the future.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06475209RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab plus apatinib for SCLC maintenance
This study tests a new maintenance therapy (adebrelimab plus apatinib) for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have already responded to initial chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The goal is to help keep the cancer from coming back longer.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–75 - NCT04790305RecruitingPhase 4
Huaier granules with standard therapy for early triple-negative breast cancer
This trial looks at whether adding Huaier granules to usual after-surgery treatment can improve outcomes for people with high-risk early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. It focuses on whether the added supplement is safe and helpful after standard care.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06477549RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing Two Drug Combinations for Stem Cell Transplant
This study compares two different drug combinations (BeFluBu and FluBuRux) used before a stem cell transplant from a half-matched (haploidentical) donor. The goal is to see which combination works better to prepare your body for the transplant and control your blood cancer.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–75 - NCT04135586Recruiting
Exercise program during chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial looks at whether a structured physical exercise program during neoadjuvant chemotherapy can help women with triple-negative breast cancer. You may qualify if you are treated at the specific hospital in Madrid and your tumor matches the required type and size.
MadridAges 25–75 - NCT06196697RecruitingPhase 2
New immunotherapy combo for advanced stomach cancer
This clinical trial is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (AK104 and AK112) plus chemotherapy as the first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard therapy.
HarbinAges 18–75 - NCT06314646Recruiting
