Kunming, YunnanAges 18–65 - NCT06637007RecruitingPhase 2
Chidamide plus AK112 for advanced sarcoma after first treatment
This trial tests two new drugs (chidamide and AK112) together for people with advanced bone or soft tissue sarcoma that has not responded to standard first-line treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06637267Recruiting
Testing a new blood test to improve prostate cancer risk assessment
This trial is testing a new blood test (Proclarix) to see if it can better predict prostate cancer risk in men who are already scheduled for an MRI and prostate biopsy. The goal is to improve how doctors decide who needs a biopsy.
Aarau, Canton of AargauAges 45–80 - NCT06637345Recruiting
Mesothelioma radiotherapy side effect study (MESORTIBO)
This study looks for markers in the blood that can predict side effects in patients with pleural mesothelioma who receive high-dose radiation. If you've had chemotherapy and are getting or have gotten high-dose radiation to the whole chest, researchers want to see if they can identify who is at higher risk of side effects.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT06642025RecruitingEarly Phase 1
EX02 car-t cells for hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new treatment called EX02 CAR-T cells for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified to target a specific marker on leukemia cells, to help fight the cancer.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06642948Recruiting
AI system for exercise rehab in breast cancer survivors
This study tests a new AI-based skeleton recognition system to guide rehabilitation exercises for breast cancer survivors. It may help reduce pain and improve mobility for those taking aromatase inhibitors.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06641544RecruitingPhase 4
Testing different drug combos for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests different combinations of the drug Inetetamab as a first treatment for breast cancer that has spread and is HER2-positive. It aims to find which combo works best and is safe for newly diagnosed metastatic patients.
Shanwei, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06641531Recruiting
How common are abnormal Pap smears?
This study looks at how common abnormal Pap smears (cervical cancer screening tests) are in women. It is for women who are due for screening or need follow-up after a previous abnormal result.
SohagAges 21–60 - NCT06636747Recruiting
High-resolution diffusion MRI for prostate imaging
This study looks at new types of MRI scans to get clearer images of the prostate. It may help doctors better understand prostate health and find problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 55 years+ - NCT06640348Recruiting
New blood test for ovarian cancer screening
This study uses a special blood test (SERS) to find tiny signs of ovarian cancer in the blood. It may help diagnose ovarian cancer earlier or more accurately.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06632873RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted radiation therapy for advanced cancers with SSTR2 and integrin markers
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-TATE-RGD) that targets two specific markers on tumor cells. It is for people whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments and whose tumors show high levels of these markers on a PET scan.
