Lower radiation after chemo-immunotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests if giving less radiation than usual is safe and effective for certain head and neck cancers after initial treatment with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06572501Recruiting
Robotic kidney tumor surgery: lying on stomach versus side
This study compares two ways of positioning patients during robotic kidney surgery to remove a tumor. The goal is to see which position leads to better outcomes, like less pain or faster recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06501391RecruitingPhase 2
Brain radiation plus chemo-immunotherapy for untreated NSCLC with stable brain metastases
This trial tests whether combining brain radiation with chemotherapy and immunotherapy can help people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the brain but has not yet been treated. It is for those whose tumors do not have certain gene mutations (EGFR, ALK, ROS1).
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06575322Recruiting
Neoadjuvant therapy for head and neck cancer: effects on pain and mood
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy before surgery can help reduce pain, anxiety, and depression in people with head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this approach improves quality of life during treatment.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06575257RecruitingPhase 2
Darolutamide and Hormone Therapy Before Prostate Surgery
This trial tests giving a new hormone-blocking drug (darolutamide) plus standard hormone therapy before surgery for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06574698Recruiting
Adding Naxitamb to high-risk neuroblastoma treatment
This trial is for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, a type of nerve cell cancer. It tests adding a new medicine called Naxitamb to standard induction therapy to see if it works better. High-risk means the cancer is advanced or has certain aggressive features.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 1–21 - NCT06014190RecruitingPhase 2
HS-20089 for ovarian and endometrial cancer
This trial tests a new medication (HS-20089) for people with ovarian or endometrial cancer that has come back or spread. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Hefei, AnfeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07759193Recruiting
Measuring energy use in head and neck cancer patients after free flap surgery
This study looks at how many calories and energy your body uses after free flap surgery for head and neck cancer. It may help improve nutrition care after surgery.

Ovarian cancer surgery: bowel shaving vs bowel resection
This trial compares two surgical options for ovarian cancer that involves the rectosigmoid bowel wall: removing a segment (resection) versus shaving only the involved layer (tumor shaving). It may help find which approach is safer and better for people whose cancer has spread to the outer bowel layers.
