Testing a new PET scan to detect brain tumor recurrence
This trial tests a special imaging scan called Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT to see if it can better detect when a glioma brain tumor has come back or progressed. It is for people who have already had standard treatment and are planning surgery for a suspected recurrence.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06430372RecruitingPhase 1
Dye-guided endoscopy to see gut blood vessels
This trial tests a new dye that lights up blood vessels in the gut during an endoscopy, using a special camera. It may help doctors see abnormal areas more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06434480Recruiting
SBRT for liver cancer with limited growth on first immunotherapy
This trial tests whether a targeted radiation therapy (SBRT) can help people with liver cancer whose disease has only a few new spots growing while on first-line immunotherapy. It aims to see if zapping those spots can control the cancer and delay the need for stronger treatments.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05821933RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study adds RC108 to targeted EGFR drugs for lung cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests a new drug (RC108) combined with furmonertinib, with or without an immune drug (toripalimab), in people with EGFR-mutated lung cancer that has gotten worse after prior EGFR treatment. It aims to see how safe the treatment is and whether it can shrink tumors or help control the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06378892RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chemo plus lorlatinib for ALK+ lung cancer
This trial tests combining chemotherapy with lorlatinib for people with ALK-positive lung cancer that has spread outside the brain while on lorlatinib. The goal is to see if adding chemo can help control the cancer when it starts growing again.
AvianoAges 18 years+ - NCT02425540Recruiting
MRI with special images to sort unclear ovarian masses
This study uses pelvic MRI with special techniques (including blood-flow and water-movement pictures) to better classify ovarian/adnexal masses that ultrasound cannot clearly explain. It may help doctors choose the safest next steps based on more detailed imaging.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges Any age - NCT07457281RecruitingPhase 1
A new drug combo for head and neck cancer before surgery
This trial tests two drugs, GV20-0251 and Sintilimab, given before surgery for head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and make surgery more effective.
ChengduAges 18–70 - NCT07417189RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ABSK141 for advanced solid tumors with KRAS G12D mutation
This study tests a new drug called ABSK141 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific mutation called KRAS G12D. It aims to see if the drug can shrink or control the cancer, and it has different phases for different groups of patients.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07456605RecruitingPhase 1
Testing liposomal curcumin for multiple myeloma
This trial tests a special form of curcumin (the ingredient in turmeric) wrapped in tiny fat particles to see if it's safe and helpful for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to other treatments. It may offer an option when standard therapies are no longer effective.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03651206RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of niraparib and anti–PD-1 for recurrent uterine cancer
This trial studies whether blocking PD-1 (an immune “brake”) along with niraparib (a DNA-repair blocker) can shrink or control recurrent/progressive uterine carcinosarcoma after prior chemotherapy. It’s for people whose cancer has grown again and who meet specific health and lab requirements.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07415863RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of SYS6043 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, SYS6043, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink or control the tumor.
