Electric acupressure for pain after liver surgery
This trial tests if a gentle electric stimulation on the skin (TEAS) can reduce pain and speed up recovery after liver surgery. The treatment is non-invasive and may be an alternative to pain medicines.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06501846Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided womb lining biopsy for postmenopausal bleeding
This trial tests a new way to take a small sample of the womb lining (biopsy) using a thin, flexible tube guided by ultrasound. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance makes the biopsy more accurate and comfortable in people with post-menopausal bleeding.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06500234RecruitingPhase 3
Nutrition and immunotherapy for cancer
This trial tests whether adding nutrition support helps cancer patients with malnutrition respond better to immunotherapy. You may be able to join if you have cancer and are malnourished, are generally active, and can swallow pills.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06112964Recruiting
Brain and behavior changes in cancer-related weight loss
This study looks at changes in thinking, behavior, and brain structure that can happen when people with cancer lose weight and appetite (called cachexia). Researchers will use questionnaires and brain scans to understand these changes, which may help improve care for people with cancer.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT02021604RecruitingPhase 1
Fluorodopa scan for congenital hyperinsulinism and insulinoma
This Phase 1 study tests a special imaging medicine (fluorodopa F 18) to help doctors better understand congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) patterns in the body. It may help guide treatment decisions to prevent dangerous low blood sugar and protect brain function.
Fort Worth, TexasAges Up to 18 years - NCT06272214RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant radiotherapy for esophageal cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests if adding radiation therapy after surgery improves outcomes for people with esophageal squamous cell cancer who received immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery but did not achieve a complete response. It aims to see if this approach can lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06086457RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo with or without radiation for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to a standard treatment (immunotherapy plus chemotherapy) can help people with advanced esophageal cancer that has spread to up to two organs. The goal is to see if the combination improves outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05844046RecruitingPhase 2
Triple drug treatment for advanced liver cancer that can’t be removed
This Phase 2 trial tests three medicines together (durvalumab, tremelimumab, and bevacizumab) to treat non-surgical (non-resectable) liver cancer. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease progression by boosting the immune system and blocking tumor blood supply.
MunichAges 18 years+ - NCT06383780RecruitingPhase 3
Tislelizumab plus chemo for nasopharyngeal cancer with bone spread
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab with chemotherapy for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has spread to the bones. It may be an option if you have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05979155RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NWY001 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new experimental drug (NWY001) for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It is a phase 1 trial, meaning it is early research to find the right dose and check for side effects.
