Ebastine plus docetaxel for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests if combining the allergy drug ebastine with the chemotherapy docetaxel can help men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. It may offer a new treatment option for those whose cancer is still growing.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06482086RecruitingPhase 2
Using tumor models to guide drug choice for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether growing your tumor cells in a lab (as organoids) can help doctors pick the best drugs for advanced thyroid cancer that is hard to remove surgically. It's for people with different thyroid cancer types who have tumors growing outside the thyroid or into nearby areas.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT05701150Recruiting
Connects advanced solid-tumor patients to tumor gene data
This trial builds a large database using your existing tumor genetic test results (DNA and/or RNA). It may help researchers better understand advanced cancers and use gene patterns to guide future care.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06038396RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A study of RC118 plus toripalimab/RC148 for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (RC118 plus toripalimab/RC148) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It’s for those whose cancer has not responded to standard treatment and whose tumors have a specific protein called Claudin 18.2.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06464198Recruiting
Radiation and chemo after surgery for salivary gland cancer
This study tests giving radiation and chemotherapy together after surgery for aggressive salivary gland cancers of the head and neck. It aims to see how well this standard treatment works in real-world settings.
ErlangenAges 18–99 - NCT04469530RecruitingPhase 2
Sirolimus plus low-dose chemotherapy for high-risk childhood tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether sirolimus combined with low-dose (“metronomic”) chemotherapy can help children and young adults with certain high-risk solid tumors stay in remission or reduce recurrence risk. It is designed for people whose cancer has responded well to initial treatment, with only minimal or no visible disease on scans.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 1–30 - NCT06475196Enrolling by invitation
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and chemotherapy given before surgery for esophageal cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06204315RecruitingPhase 2
Spine radiosurgery for spinal cord compression
This trial tests a precise radiation technique for people whose spinal tumors are very close to the spinal cord or nerves. It aims to safely give higher radiation doses while limiting damage to the cord.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06196203RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AK117 with Azacitidine for High-Risk MDS
This trial tests a new drug, AK117, combined with azacitidine for people newly diagnosed with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a blood disorder. The goal is to see if the combination can help improve outcomes.
