Finding infection signs after abdominal cancer surgery
This study looks for ways to better predict and catch infections after major abdominal cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for certain cancers (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, colon, or rectum), the researchers will check your blood and other samples for early signs of infection so they can start treatment sooner.

Progesterone added to chemo for adrenal cancer that spread
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding progesterone to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) that is locally advanced or has spread and cannot be removed with surgery. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and tolerable.
BresciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06531460Recruiting
Omega-3 nutrition before lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether a special nutrition drink with omega-3 (a healthy fat found in fish) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. You may qualify if you are about to have lung removal surgery.

Study to improve outcomes in osteosarcoma care through collaboration
This trial focuses on improving how osteosarcoma care is coordinated and delivered, using collaboration between clinicians. It may help by helping teams make more consistent treatment decisions for people newly diagnosed.
London, Greater LondonAges Any age - NCT06532084RecruitingPhase 2
Sorafenib to prevent relapse after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether the drug sorafenib can prevent blood cancer from returning after a stem cell transplant. It is for people who had a special combination of chemotherapy (bendamustine and cyclophosphamide) during their transplant and are at high risk for relapse.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–75 - NCT06533267Recruiting
Endoscopic surgery vs. radiation for early-stage nasal cancer
This trial compares two treatments for stage I nasopharyngeal cancer (a type of nasal cancer). It tests whether a minimally invasive surgery (endoscopic surgery) is as good as or better than radiation therapy. It may be an option for people whose cancer is small and hasn't spread to lymph nodes.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06393816RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus chemotherapy for advanced LCNEC lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug durvalumab (Imfinzi) with standard chemotherapy (etoposide and a platinum drug) as a first treatment for advanced large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT04534543Recruiting
Imaging scans to personalize chemotherapy for liver spread of bowel cancer
This trial tests whether special liver imaging can help doctors choose or guide the best chemotherapy for people with liver metastases from gastrointestinal cancer. The study focuses on comparing imaging-based information with outcomes during common chemo treatments like CAPOX or FOLFOX.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05177133RecruitingPhase 2
First-line treatment for MSI-high stomach or esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding an anti–PD-1 immunotherapy (retifanlimab) and chemotherapy (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin, with leucovorin) works better for people with metastatic or inoperable stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has defective mismatch repair (dMMR). If you’re eligible, it may help shrink tumors and slow the disease without needing prior chemotherapy for metastatic cancer.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05055908RecruitingPhase 3
Testing immune-therapy for lung cancer and predicting response
This trial studies how well immune checkpoint medicines (with or without chemotherapy) work for lung cancer, and looks for biomarkers—tests that may help predict who benefits. It may help you access a structured treatment plan and additional response testing.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06271252RecruitingPhase 1
Study of OriCAR-017 for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy called OriCAR-017 for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It is for patients who have already tried several treatments, including ones that target BCMA, and their last treatment stopped working.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT06534814Recruiting
AI tool to find lymph node spread in gastric cancer
This trial is testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) model to help doctors better identify whether gastric cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. If you qualify, you may help improve how this cancer is diagnosed and treated, without any extra invasive procedures.
