Study of HS-20093 and HRS-5041 for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a combination of two experimental drugs, HS-20093 and HRS-5041, for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this new treatment can help control the cancer when other treatments have stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07450391RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EBV-targeted cell therapy for EBV-related lymph disorders
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy that targets cells infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It is for patients with certain blood cancers or post-transplant lymph disorders caused by EBV that have not responded to standard treatments or who cannot receive them.

Long-term study of patients treated with Inaticabtagene Autoleucel
This study is a long-term follow-up for people who have already received Inaticabtagene Autoleucel, a type of cell therapy. It checks how patients are doing over time, and does not involve any new treatments.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT01659203RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Proton or photon radiation for retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial tests two types of external beam radiation—protons or photons—in people with retroperitoneal (in the back of the abdomen) soft tissue sarcoma. It’s an early-phase study meant to see how well the radiation can control measurable tumors while tracking safety.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03039309Recruiting
Testing endoscopic removal for early stomach or gut growth
This study looks at endoscopic submucosal dissection, a procedure to remove early growths in the stomach or other parts of the GI tract, using the UK approach. You may benefit by having your treatment guided within a research study and closer follow-up.
PortsmouthAges 18 years+ - NCT07162116RecruitingPhase 1
Effect of XY0206 on heart rhythm in healthy Chinese volunteers
This trial tests whether a new drug called XY0206 affects the heart's electrical activity (QTc interval). Healthy participants take either XY0206, a placebo, or a control drug to compare effects. It helps ensure the drug is safe for the heart before testing in patients.
Zibo, ShandongAges 18–45 - NCT06480552RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug (TEV‑56278) alone or with another drug (pembrolizumab) for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if it helps shrink tumors.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04581122Recruiting
Tests how lymph node surgery choices affect lung nodule outcomes
This study looks at whether different lymph node removal methods during lung surgery change outcomes for certain abnormal lung spots. It focuses on ground-glass nodules that stay the same after treatment-free observation and have a mostly solid portion on CT.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06464536Recruiting
Tight gloves for nerve protection during taxane chemo
This study tests whether wearing tight surgical gloves during taxane chemotherapy can help reduce nerve damage in the hands and feet. It may be a good fit if you have breast or urogenital cancer and are starting taxane treatment for the first time.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04576143RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Dose-dense chemo before surgery for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial studies a faster, higher-frequency chemotherapy schedule given before surgery for HER2-negative breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach works better and is safe for the patient’s cancer stage.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT07444775RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two types of radiation for large tumors
