Ear stimulation plus meds for chemo-related nausea
This trial tests adding a simple ear-point stimulation to standard anti-nausea medicine for women receiving chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by the chemo drugs docetaxel and cyclophosphamide.
HangzhouAges 18–85 - NCT07353684RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab plus apatinib with chemo for gastric cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (adebrelimab and apatinib) with standard chemotherapy (SOX regimen) before surgery for gastric cancer that cannot be removed right away. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to make surgery possible.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07556562Recruiting
Early ovarian cancer detection through Pap test DNA analysis
This study tests whether DNA found in routine Pap smears can help detect ovarian cancer early in people at high genetic risk. Participants have inherited gene mutations that increase ovarian cancer risk and are considering preventive surgery.
Roma, RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07198217RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of platinum-based chemotherapy, large fractionated radiotherapy, and the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab for people with stage IIIB to IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this approach can help control the cancer without certain gene mutations.
Zibo, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06726369RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MK-6204 for people with advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MK-6204, in people with certain advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06169579Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Trial of ND-003 for advanced solid cancers
This early-phase trial tests a new oral targeted drug, ND-003, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapy. The study focuses on tumors with specific gene changes (NTRK or RET fusions), especially in the second part, to see if the drug can shrink tumors and be safe.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07612722Recruiting
Smaller vs. larger lung surgery after immunotherapy and chemotherapy
This trial compares two surgical approaches for advanced lung cancer (stage IIA-IIIB) after patients have already received immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if removing a smaller portion of the lung (sub-lobectomy) works as well as removing an entire lobe (lobectomy), potentially reducing side effects while fighting cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07546045Recruiting
Robotic Surgery and Swallowing Recovery for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a specialized robotic surgical approach for head and neck cancers, combined with personalized speech and swallowing rehabilitation. The goal is to remove tumors while preserving organ function and improving your ability to swallow and speak after surgery.
LausanneAges 18 years+ - NCT07205718RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TAK-188 for advanced solid tumors after immunotherapy
This trial tests a new medication called TAK-188 for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies, including checkpoint inhibitors. It aims to see if TAK-188 can help shrink or control the cancer.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07546123Recruiting
Freezing Ovarian Tissue and Eggs for Cancer Patients
This trial compares two methods of preserving a woman's fertility before cancer treatment: freezing eggs alone versus freezing both eggs and ovarian tissue. The goal is to help women who may lose fertility due to chemotherapy or radiation keep their options open for having biological children in the future.
