REC-7735 for people with advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called REC-7735 for people with solid tumors that have a specific genetic change (PIK3CA H1047R). The drug targets this change to try to stop the cancer from growing.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07817758Recruiting
Sarcopenia and surgery outcomes in older gastrointestinal cancer patients
This trial looks at whether low muscle mass (sarcopenia) before surgery affects recovery for older adults with gastrointestinal cancer. It may help doctors personalize care and improve outcomes.
Van, VanAges 60 years+ - NCT06477614RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your own immune cells (dendritic cells) to help your body fight advanced cancer. It is for people whose cancer has not responded to other treatments.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06477991Recruiting
No surgery after immunotherapy for MSI-H colorectal cancer
This trial is studying whether some people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSI-H/dMMR) might be able to skip surgery after immunotherapy. Doctors will use a blood test (MRD monitoring) to track the cancer, and then decide whether to keep an eye on it or operate.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT04531696Recruiting
Post-death breast tissue donation study for cancer research
This trial invites adults with certain breast cancer conditions to donate tissue after death. Researchers hope the donated samples will help better understand cancer and improve future treatments.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05029531RecruitingPhase 3
Immuno-chemotherapy for infants with B-lineage ALL
This trial tests a combination of medicines (immunotherapy plus chemotherapy) in babies diagnosed with a type of leukemia called B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It aims to improve how well treatment works and is delivered safely in very young children.
Moscow, Samory-Mashela,1Ages 1 day–12 months - NCT06476249Recruiting
Cough risk after lung surgery via thoracoscope
This study looks at why some people develop a cough after having part of a lung removed through small cuts (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery). It may help identify who is more likely to have this side effect.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–70 - NCT06454448RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adebrelimab plus chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of a targeted immune therapy (Adebrelimab) with three chemotherapy drugs for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer who haven't had any treatment yet. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help people live longer.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04688528Recruiting
Radiation planning to spare the opposite neck in head cancer
This trial tests a safer radiation plan that may reduce dose to the opposite (other) side of the neck while still treating the cancer spread risk. It uses special mapping to guide treatment and looks at patients whose cancer is already in an involved lymph node on one side.
Genk, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07818135Recruiting
Comparing two robotic surgery methods for removing lung cancer
This study compares two different ways of doing robotic lung surgery to remove cancer. It looks at whether using one method (with an extra opening) is better than the standard method for people with early-stage lung cancer that can be removed.
