Glufosfamide vs 5-FU for metastatic pancreatic cancer after gemcitabine
This study compares two chemotherapy drugs—glufosfamide and 5-FU—in people with pancreatic cancer that has spread and got worse after gemcitabine. It aims to see which option works better as a “second-line” treatment.
Whittier, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06210490RecruitingPhase 2
Antibody-drug combo with radiation for HER2+ UTUC after surgery
This trial tests a combination of an antibody-drug conjugate (Disitamab Vedotin) plus radiation therapy after surgery to prevent upper tract urothelial cancer from coming back. It is for patients with HER2-positive tumors and high-risk features who cannot receive cisplatin chemo.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03419689Recruiting
Study checks blood and tumor markers in advanced ovarian cancer
This study looks at “biomarkers,” meaning measurable signals in blood and tumor tissue, in people with advanced ovarian-type cancers. The goal is to understand these markers and how they relate to the cancer, which may help guide future care.
Barrie, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06754644RecruitingPhase 3
Study of QL2107 plus chemo vs. Keytruda for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, QL2107, combined with chemotherapy, compared to the standard drug Keytruda (pembrolizumab) with chemotherapy. It is for people with stage IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that does not have certain gene mutations (EGFR or ALK).
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06395870RecruitingPhase 1
Dual-target cell therapy for returning B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new cell therapy that targets two proteins (CD19 and CD20) found on certain lymphoma cells. It is for patients whose B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can help control the cancer.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06841679RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing utidelone plus chemo for untreated stomach cancer
This trial tests a new capsule (utidelone) combined with standard chemotherapy as a first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if this combination works better than current options.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06375161RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cells for relapsed B-cell cancers
This early-phase trial tests a type of immunotherapy called anti-CD19 CAR-T cells. These are specially engineered immune cells that seek out and destroy cancer cells with a marker called CD19 on their surface. It is for people with B-cell cancers (leukemia or lymphoma) that have not responded to or come back after standard treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 4 months–1.3 years - NCT06844357RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New embolization vs standard for liver cancer
This trial tests a new embolization treatment (TATE) against standard therapy for people with intermediate-stage liver cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if TATE works better at controlling the tumor.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07627347Recruiting
Anlotinib and Bemocizumab for Early Esophageal Cancer
This study tests two drugs (anlotinib and bemocizumab) given before surgery to shrink esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (a type of throat cancer). The goal is to see if this combination helps patients have better outcomes and fewer side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06131450RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of BL-M07D1 for HER2-positive gynecologic cancers
This trial tests a new drug called BL-M07D1 for women with HER2-positive or low-HER2 gynecologic cancers that have returned or spread. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells that make HER2, and may help when other treatments have stopped working.
