TianjinAges Any age - NCT05693844RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MSLN CAR T cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a lab-made immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) that targets a protein called mesothelin (MSLN) in advanced or metastatic solid cancers. It may help your body better recognize and attack tumor cells, especially if standard first treatments did not work or are not available.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07180160RecruitingPhase 2
A study of QL1706 for HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab, also called QL1706) for people with advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative. It may be an option if standard treatments have stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07262489RecruitingPhase 2

Low-dose radiation with immunotherapy and chemo before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, an immunotherapy drug called sintilimab, and standard chemotherapy before surgery for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes for patients who are candidates for surgery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06463340RecruitingPhase 1
Study of SGR-3515 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called SGR-3515 for people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how it works in the body.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07508306Recruiting
Blue dye sentinel node mapping for early ovarian cancer
This study is testing a blue dye called Patent Blue to see if it can help surgeons find sentinel lymph nodes (the first nodes cancer might spread to) during surgery for early-stage ovarian cancer. The goal is to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal, possibly leading to fewer side effects.
La RabtaAges 18 years+ - NCT06656390RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ALK201 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ALK201, in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can shrink tumors.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT06258304RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug, GIGA-564, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to or have returned after standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective, and to find the best dose.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07682597Recruiting
Improving lung cancer screening in Nevada and Mississippi
This trial tests a new system (QUILS) to help state teams in Mississippi and Nevada improve lung cancer screening. You may join if you are part of a team working on this effort.
Greenville, MississippiAges 18–100 - NCT07252336RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T cell therapy for newly diagnosed Ph+ B-cell ALL
This trial tests a CAR-T cell therapy for adults who have just been diagnosed with a type of leukemia called Ph+ B-cell ALL. The treatment uses specially engineered immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells that have a specific marker (CD19 and CD22) and the Philadelphia chromosome. It may be an option for those who have not yet started standard chemotherapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06856200Recruiting
Sirolimus plus palbociclib and fulvestrant for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs (sirolimus, palbociclib, and fulvestrant) for people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative. The goal is to see if adding sirolimus can help control the cancer when standard hormone therapy is no longer working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06466434RecruitingPhase 2
Prebiotic diet to boost immunotherapy for melanoma
This trial tests whether a special prebiotic diet can help your body's bacteria (microbiome) better respond to standard immunotherapy for advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. If you are starting your first immunotherapy, you may be able to join.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04704505RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone-like treatment plus radium for bone-spread prostate cancer
This trial studies whether adding a testosterone-related therapy (BAT) to radium-223 can better control prostate cancer that has spread mainly to the bones. It may help shrink tumors in the bone and slow PSA rises, which are a common marker of prostate cancer activity.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07681791Recruiting
Sun safety program for teens and parents
This trial tests a digital program to help teens and parents learn better sun safety habits together. It involves using Facebook daily to get tips and support, which may reduce skin cancer risk.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 13 years+ - NCT06158477RecruitingPhase 1
A study of JYP0035 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called JYP0035 alone in people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT06958627RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Smart phone app vs standard care for breast cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a smartphone-based patient management program helps women with HER2-positive breast cancer take their medication (pyrotinib) more consistently compared to usual care. It may be a good fit if you are starting or continuing pyrotinib treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04695782RecruitingPhase 2

This trial studies “pencil beam” proton radiation for rectal cancer that has come back in the pelvis after you already had radiation. It aims to control the recurrence while trying to limit harm to nearby organs.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06701357RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for untreated aggressive lymphoma
This trial tests a new treatment combination for people newly diagnosed with a fast-growing type of lymphoma called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has changes in two proteins, MYC and BCL2, making it a 'double expressor' lymphoma. The goal is to see if adding another drug to standard chemo-immunotherapy can improve results.

Capivasertib plus fulvestrant for high-risk lobular breast cancer
This trial tests adding capivasertib to fulvestrant for women with a certain type of breast cancer (invasive lobular carcinoma) that is hormone-receptor positive and has a high risk of coming back. The treatment is given before surgery to see if it works better than fulvestrant alone.
AugsburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06088472RecruitingPhase 1
TIL therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a treatment made from your own immune cells (TILs) that are taken from a tumor, grown in a lab, and then given back to you to fight cancer. It's for people with solid tumors that have spread or come back after treatment.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT05970016RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study for advanced solid cancers with a DNA repair target
This Phase I/II trial tests an investigational treatment in people with advanced solid tumors that have grown despite standard therapy, or where standard options aren’t available. In later Phase II, the trial mainly enrolls patients whose tumor shows a specific DNA repair problem (DDR defect).
