HER2-targeted CAR-T for HER2-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immune-cell therapy (CAR-T) that targets a protein called HER2 in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers. It may help shrink tumors and control the disease after standard treatments have failed or when there is no clear standard option.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07104149RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery for cervical cancer
This trial tests adding a new immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab) to standard chemotherapy before surgery for locally advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor more effectively before surgery.

Study of durvalumab for advanced liver cancer not treatable by surgery
This trial tests the drug durvalumab in people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that has spread beyond the liver and cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if durvalumab can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06445959RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Decitabine, Venetoclax, and Olutasidenib for IDH1-Mutated Blood Cancers
This trial combines three drugs—decitabine, venetoclax, and a targeted therapy (olutasidenib)—to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back or is not responding to treatment. It may also be an option for people newly diagnosed with AML who cannot receive intense chemotherapy.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04815694Recruiting
MRI-guided radiotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether using MRI scans to guide radiotherapy can improve treatment for people with a certain type of rectal cancer. It focuses on patients whose tumors have not spread to other parts of the body and who have specific tumor features seen on MRI.
Roma, RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT05935124Recruiting
White light or narrow-band imaging for colon polyp detection
This trial compares two camera light styles during screening colonoscopy to see which one better finds polyps on the right side of the colon. If you’re having a routine screening and have no concerning symptoms, the results may help improve how doctors spot polyps early.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06065449RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two radiation therapies for painful bone metastases
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to see whether a more targeted, high-dose approach (SBRT) works better than standard palliative radiation.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06824363RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Intra-tumor injection study for stomach and esophagus cancer with ARID1a mutation
This trial tests a new approach where immune cells are injected directly into the tumor in people with a specific genetic change (ARID1a mutation) in their stomach or esophagus cancer. It aims to see if this treatment can help when used before any other cancer therapy.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07484724RecruitingPhase 2
JS212 combination therapy for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (JS212 plus another medicine) for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have not had prior treatment. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective.
