TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT05703971RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Maintenance treatment with a gene therapy plus atezolizumab
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether a gene therapy called Reqorsa given with atezolizumab can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) stay controlled after their first chemo. It may help by boosting the immune system to keep the cancer from growing again.

Trial of a drug combo for HER2-positive ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of disitamab vedotin, platinum chemotherapy, and bevacizumab as first treatment for high-risk ovarian cancer that has a protein called HER2. The goal is to see if this therapy helps control the cancer and keeps it from growing.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06163820RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bevacizumab and immunotherapy with radiation for melanoma brain metastases
This trial tests a combination of a drug that stops blood vessel growth (bevacizumab), immunotherapy, and focused radiation to treat melanoma that has spread to the brain and is causing symptoms. The goal is to see if this approach shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05701527RecruitingPhase 1
EBC-129 for advanced solid tumors with limited treatment options
This Phase 1 study tests EBC-129, a new investigational treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors that cannot be fully removed and have limited or no good standard treatment options. The goal is to learn if the treatment is safe, find helpful dosing, and see signs it may slow the cancer.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07510308RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine trial for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your own tumor cells for advanced colorectal cancer that is mismatch repair proficient (pMMR). It aims to see if the vaccine can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07107633RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging test for cancer spread in the abdomen
This trial tests a special imaging injection to see if it can better detect cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen in people with stomach or bowel cancer. If you are scheduled for surgery to remove or explore the cancer, this scan might help your doctor plan the best treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05265169Recruiting
Tested microwave ablation to treat liver metastases from colon cancer
This study tests whether a specific heating treatment (microwave ablation) can completely destroy small colon cancer spots in the liver. It may help patients who have limited liver tumors and need a precise, minimally invasive option.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07169708Recruiting
Study of nivolumab and chemo before surgery for lung cancer
This trial looks at real-world outcomes in Taiwan for people with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who get nivolumab combined with chemotherapy before surgery. It aims to understand how well this treatment works and how safe it is.
Kaohsiung CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06314672Recruiting
Connecting communities to cancer research
This study aims to identify and overcome barriers that prevent underserved groups from joining cancer trials. It involves working with patients, doctors, and hospitals to make clinical trials more accessible.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT06216002Recruiting
Residual paralysis after cancer surgery in frail patients
This trial checks how often muscle relaxant effects linger after gynecologic cancer surgery, especially in frail patients. It uses a nerve stimulator to measure muscle function after surgery.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07137312Recruiting
Growing immune cells outside the body to fight cancer
This trial tests a new way to take blood from patients with solid tumors or healthy volunteers, grow immune cells in a lab, and then give them back to potentially treat cancer. It may help people whose standard options have run out.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06747845RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy for stable metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, niraparib and ipilimumab, as a maintenance treatment for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer that has not grown after initial chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this can help keep the cancer stable longer.
