Study of polatuzumab, rituximab, CHP for transformed DLBCL
This trial tests a combination of drugs (POLA-R-CHP) as a first treatment for patients whose large B-cell lymphoma has changed from a slower-growing type. It aims to see if this therapy is effective and safe for newly diagnosed patients.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06747728Recruiting
Bevacizumab before surgery for new high-grade brain tumors
This trial tests whether giving bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood vessel growth) before surgery helps treat newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas. It may be an option for adults who have not had prior anti-angiogenic therapy.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07046702Recruiting
PET scan using a new tracer for solid tumors
This study tests whether a new imaging agent called 68Ga-MY6349 can help detect tumors during a PET/CT scan. If you are an adult with a solid tumor (newly diagnosed or already treated), you may be able to take part in this research to see if the new tracer works better than standard imaging.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07074496RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Combined cell therapy for newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL
This trial tests a new combination treatment using ThisCART19A cells and olverembatinib in adults newly diagnosed with a type of leukemia that has the Philadelphia chromosome. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06359847RecruitingPhase 2
ST-1898 for advanced thyroid cancer that no longer responds to iodine therapy
This trial tests an experimental drug called ST-1898 for people with advanced thyroid cancer that has stopped responding to radioactive iodine treatment and has progressed after at least one targeted therapy. It aims to see if ST-1898 can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
