Ablation plus drug therapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial tests a combination treatment that uses heat or cold (ablation) to destroy liver tumors along with medicines that boost your immune system to fight cancer. It is for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and who could not have surgery, or whose first treatment stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05964530Recruiting
Testing local removal versus radical surgery for rectal cancer
This trial looks at whether removing the rectal tumor locally (through the anus) can work as well as a more extensive operation after scans show no remaining cancer. It may help some people avoid bigger surgery if the cancer truly appears gone after treatment.
TaipeiAges 18–75 - NCT06587698Recruiting
Study of sitagliptin or BeiDouGen capsule for PCOS pregnancy
This trial tests if sitagliptin or BeiDouGen capsule can improve pregnancy outcomes in women with PCOS. It aims to help those planning to conceive or struggling with infertility.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–40 - NCT06587022Recruiting
Planning radiation for spinal tumors
This trial tests a precise type of radiation (stereotactic radiotherapy) for spinal tumors or cancer that has spread to the spine. It aims to study how best to target the radiation to improve treatment while reducing side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06598176Recruiting
New cervical cancer screening test using self-samples
This study is testing a new way to screen for cervical cancer using a sample you collect yourself. It aims to find a simpler, more accurate method that could replace more invasive tests.
Edegem, AntwerpenAges 25–64 - NCT06587425RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for CLDN18.2-positive advanced stomach cancer
This study tests a combination of three drugs (LM-302, Candonilimab, and Capecitabine) as the first treatment for advanced stomach cancer that has a specific protein (Claudin 18.2). It aims to see if the combination shrinks tumors and is safe.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06592170RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Linperlisib and obinutuzumab for new MZL
This trial tests a combination of two drugs for people newly diagnosed with marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). The goal is to see if the combination works better than standard treatments.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT06589544Recruiting
Virtual reality and brain stimulation for depression in cancer patients
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality therapy with transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain treatment) can help reduce depression in people who have had cancer in the last 5 years. It aims to improve mood without using medication.
Ferrara, FEAges 18–100 - NCT06587477Recruiting
Fertility in Men Who Had Cancer as Children
