Testing three drugs for advanced bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of three medicines (GEMOX, donafenib, and tislelizumab) for advanced bile duct cancer. It aims to see if the treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people with certain tumor stage and health test results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06992882RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two chemo regimens with Herceptin for early breast cancer
This trial tests if taking oral chemotherapy pills with trastuzumab (Herceptin) works as well as IV chemo (paclitaxel) with Herceptin after surgery for HER2-positive, lymph node-negative early breast cancer. It aims to find a more convenient treatment option.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05610228Recruiting
Metabolism study in CLL lymph nodes
This study looks at how chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells use energy in lymph nodes. It may help find new ways to treat CLL in the future.
NiceAges 18–90 - NCT07228247RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of HMPL-A251 for advanced HER2-positive cancers
This study tests an experimental drug (HMPL-A251) for people with advanced solid tumors that have the HER2 protein. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05761223RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of FB849 for adults with measurable cancer lesions
This early-stage trial tests whether FB849 is safe and tolerable, how the body handles it, and whether it shows any early signs of helping cancer. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with at least one measurable tumor spot and your health tests meet study requirements.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06682117Recruiting
A study of a personalized vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your own cells to help your immune system attack tumor-specific targets. It may be an option if standard treatments have stopped working or caused side effects you can't tolerate.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06398444RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Lutetium-177 treatment for advanced neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a radioactive drug called Lutetium-177 Oxodotreotide (a type of PRRT) for people with advanced neuroendocrine tumors that have already been treated with other therapies and are still growing. The drug targets somatostatin receptors on tumor cells to deliver radiation directly to the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 12 years+ - NCT06978114RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new drug called BL-B01D1 combined with an immunotherapy for people with advanced bile duct cancer. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
