Comparing two treatments for advanced breast cancer with low hormone receptor
This trial compares two treatment options for advanced breast cancer that has low hormone receptor levels and is HER2-negative. It tests whether a combination of chemotherapy followed by maintenance therapy works better than a CDK4/6 inhibitor combined with hormone therapy. This is for people who have not had chemotherapy for their advanced disease.

AnnecyAges 18 years+ - NCT05943262Recruiting
Microscope study using tumor samples during brain tumor surgery
This study tests a special imaging microscope on tumor tissue taken during brain tumor removal surgery. The goal is to better understand brain connections and how tumor cells signal, which may improve future diagnosis or treatments.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04770207RecruitingPhase 2
Injecting a cancer drug mixture directly into tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment where drug-loaded tiny beads are injected into a solid tumor, using more than one medicine. It may help people with advanced solid cancers by delivering the drugs right at the tumor site.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–99 - NCT05068583Recruiting
Testing liquid blood samples in children with certain cancers
This trial studies “liquid biopsies,” which are blood tests, to help learn about specific cancers in children. It may help doctors monitor cancer and guide treatment using less invasive tests.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months+ - NCT05478876Recruiting
Carbon ion radiation for vaginal or cervix mucosal melanoma
This trial studies whether carbon ion radiation can control mucosal melanoma in the lower female genital tract. It may help by targeting the tumor with high-precision radiation while trying to protect nearby organs like the bladder and rectum.
PaviaAges 20–80 - NCT05921786Recruiting
Study brain surgery samples to map brain connections and signals
This study uses a special microscope to study how brain tissues communicate and signal. It will look at brain tissue taken during surgery (from certain tumor or brain disease cases) to better understand brain wiring and improve reading of lab signals.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06197581Recruiting
Safety of Radiation with Modern Breast Cancer Drugs
This study checks if giving certain modern breast cancer drugs at the same time as radiation is safe. It's for women who need radiation and are also taking one of these drugs: capecitabine, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, a PARP inhibitor, immunotherapy, or a HER2 inhibitor.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06479356RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed large B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests an experimental CAR T-cell therapy for people with large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, modified to find and attack cancer cells.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06563869RecruitingPhase 3
Sintilimab with chemo and growth factor before esophageal cancer surgery
This trial tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug sintilimab together with standard chemotherapy and a growth factor injection before surgery can help people with a certain type of esophageal cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) that is still removable. The goal is to improve treatment outcomes before the operation.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06563986RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced colorectal cancer in the liver
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (FTD and tipiracil), a targeted therapy (bevacizumab), and a radiation treatment (radioembolization) for people with colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the liver and hasn't responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help control the cancer.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07774390Recruiting
Long-term outcomes of ibrutinib and venetoclax for CLL
This study looks at the long-term effects of taking ibrutinib and venetoclax together for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It aims to see how well this treatment works over time and how it affects patients.
MilanAges Any age - NCT06566807RecruitingPhase 2
Orelabrutinib plus obinutuzumab for marginal zone lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (orelabrutinib and obinutuzumab) as a first treatment for marginal zone lymphoma that has returned or progressed after local therapy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current options.
Huai'an, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07768189RecruitingPhase 3
Testing CRB-701 for throat cancer that returned
This study tests an investigational drug called CRB-701 to see if it can help people with a certain type of throat cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The trial compares CRB-701 to a doctor's choice of other available treatments.

Petosemtamab plus chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a new drug called petosemtamab combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to one prior treatment. The trial aims to see if adding petosemtamab helps the cancer shrink or grow more slowly compared to adding a standard targeted therapy like cetuximab or bevacizumab.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07769502RecruitingPhase 2
Treatment for advanced bile duct and pancreatic cancers
