Study comparing two ways to give tislelizumab plus chemo for stomach cancer
This trial compares a shot under the skin versus an IV infusion of tislelizumab, given along with chemotherapy, for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if the shot works as well as the IV and may be more convenient.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06470256RecruitingPhase 1
Surgery plus targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests if removing the main liver tumor with surgery, followed by targeted therapy and immunotherapy, can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread a little. It is for those who have not had prior treatment and whose liver is still working well.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05599139Recruiting
Testing iodine uptake after a low-iodine diet
This study looks at how much iodine your body absorbs after you follow a low-iodine diet before radioactive iodine treatment (131I) for thyroid cancer. It may help improve how safely and effectively this treatment is planned.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18–75 - NCT07190833RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a cancer-killing virus injection for solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests a cancer-killing virus (OTS-412) that is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments, including immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the virus can shrink or control the injected tumors.
BusanAges 19 years+ - NCT07528183RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy after chemo and radiation for recurrent nose cancer
This trial tests whether maintenance immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor) followed by delayed salvage radiation therapy can help keep your cancer under control after you have already responded to initial chemo-immunotherapy. It is for people with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma that has come back in the nose or neck area, but has not spread to distant organs.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT07009288Recruiting
Time-restricted eating for childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at whether eating only during a set time each day can improve health in adults who survived childhood cancer. It may help with weight and related health issues.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06830421RecruitingPhase 3
High-dose chemo with stem cell transplant vs. standard therapy for older adults with CNS lymphoma
This study compares a high-dose chemotherapy followed by your own stem cell transplant to standard chemo-immunotherapy for older adults with newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for people over 70.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges 65 years+ - NCT06086197RecruitingPhase 2
