Avapritinib for children with relapsed or resistant CBF-AML and KIT mutation
This trial tests a targeted drug called avapritinib in children and teens with a specific type of leukemia (CBF-AML) that has a KIT gene change and has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if avapritinib is safe and effective for these patients.
Hefei, AnhuiAges Up to 18 years - NCT06566755RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for a common type of colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new immunotherapy (cadonilimab) with standard chemotherapy (capecitabine, oxaliplatin) and bevacizumab for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has a RAS mutation or is located on the right side of the colon. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the current standard of care as a first treatment.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06429891Recruiting
Nuclear probe for early gastric cancer detection
This trial uses a special radioactive probe to find gastric cancer cells during imaging. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly and catch the disease earlier.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07769346Recruiting
Appendix cancer patient registry for natural history study
This study collects health information from people diagnosed with appendix cancer to better understand the disease over time. Joining helps researchers learn more about appendix cancer and may lead to better treatments in the future.
Springfield, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT07767630RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted radiation therapy for relapsed neuroblastoma
This trial tests a new type of targeted radiation treatment for children and adults with neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to other treatments. The radiation is attached to a substance that seeks out neuroblastoma cells, aiming to destroy them while limiting harm to healthy tissue.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 1–100 - NCT07775534Recruiting
Tear fluid test for glioblastoma detection
This study looks at tear fluid to find tiny particles released by glioblastoma tumors, which could offer a new way to monitor the disease. Participation involves a simple, non-invasive tear collection with a small paper strip.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07774819RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Radiation therapy for large or treatment-resistant tumors
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy for tumors that are large (over 4 cm) or have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this new approach can shrink tumors while limiting side effects.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07772869Recruiting
Uterine washing test to detect ovarian cancer risk
This study is testing a new way to find ovarian cancer early. It uses a gentle washing of the uterus (like a Pap test) to collect cells and look for signs of cancer in women who are at high risk because of a BRCA gene mutation. The goal is to see if this method can detect cancer before it spreads, which might help save more lives.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07772895RecruitingPhase 1
Glowing dye to help surgeons see lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a dye that makes lung cancer cells glow during surgery, helping surgeons remove more of the tumor. It's for people who are already scheduled for lung cancer surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07773688Recruiting
Microscopy study of skin biopsy samples
This study uses a special microscope to look at skin biopsy samples in more detail. It may help doctors understand skin conditions better and improve future diagnoses.
Victor, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07772479Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two biopsy needles for lung nodule diagnosis
This study compares two types of needles used in a CT-guided lung biopsy to see which one is better at diagnosing lung nodules. The trial aims to find a more accurate and safe way to obtain tissue samples from peripheral lung nodules, which could help guide treatment decisions.
Beijing, ChaoyangAges 18–90 - NCT07774572RecruitingPhase 1
Circular RNA study for B-cell blood cancers
This study looks at a new way to treat B-cell blood cancers that have not responded to other treatments or have come back. It tests a therapy that targets cancer cells using RNA, which is a molecule that helps make proteins in your body.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07775209Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Shorter radiation and chemo for anal cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy given with chemotherapy for people with high-risk anal cancer. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment is just as effective but causes fewer side effects and is more convenient.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT07770100RecruitingPhase 2
Matching immunotherapy and targeted radiation for advanced cancer
This trial tests combining immunotherapy (a treatment that boosts your immune system to fight cancer) with a targeted type of radiation called SBRT, which precisely delivers high-dose radiation to multiple cancer spots. The main goal is to see if this combination helps control metastatic cancer (cancer that has spread) better than standard care.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT07773818Recruiting
Improving early triple-negative breast cancer prediction
This study is part of a larger project collecting detailed genetic and other biological data from people with triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to build better models to predict how the disease will progress and respond to treatment.
