AI study for detecting cervical cancer from colposcopy images
This study is testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) system to detect cervical cancer from images taken during a colposcopy exam. If successful, it could help doctors identify cancer earlier and more accurately.
DhakaAges 18 years+ - NCT06639178Recruiting
Cream to prevent hand-foot syndrome from capecitabine in breast cancer
This trial tests whether a special cream containing N-acetylcysteine and urea can prevent the painful hand-foot syndrome often caused by the chemotherapy drug capecitabine. If you have breast cancer and are about to start capecitabine, this study may help reduce side effects.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT06633133Recruiting
Virtual ileostomy vs. diverting ileostomy for rectal cancer surgery
This trial compares a virtual ileostomy (a system that monitors leaks without creating a temporary opening) to a traditional diverting ileostomy (a temporary bag) in people having rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if the virtual method is safer and avoids a second surgery.
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT04387916RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug KC1036 in people with advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies how a new medicine (KC1036) works and how safe it is for people with advanced solid cancers that have grown despite standard treatments. It may help future patients by showing whether the drug can control cancer in difficult-to-treat cases.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT02246634Recruiting
MRI screening to find liver metastases in bowel cancer
This study checks whether a special MRI scan (DW-MRI) can spot liver metastases early in people with high-risk colorectal cancer. Finding metastases sooner may help doctors choose the right treatment path.
Macclesfield, CheshireAges 16 years+ - NCT02222844Recruiting
MRI checks for treatment planning in sigmoid colon cancer
This study uses MRI scans to better plan “curative” treatment (aimed at cure) for sigmoid colon cancer before surgery. It is for people who may still be deciding on the radical (major, curative) treatment plan and who can safely have an MRI.
Huntingdon, CambridgeshireAges 16 years+ - NCT02292641Recruiting
MRI study for repeat pelvic colorectal cancer
This study uses a special MRI to help understand and stage colorectal cancer that has come back in the pelvis. The goal is to improve how doctors make treatment decisions after previous surgery.
OsloAges 16 years+ - NCT02579278Recruiting
Tests blood DNA and scans in early colon cancer surgery
This study looks at a blood test that detects cancer DNA (ctDNA) and compares it with CT scan findings before surgery. It may help doctors understand how aggressive the cancer is and how scan features relate to blood test results.
Margate, KentAges 16 years+ - NCT03303547Recruiting
Matching scans and biopsy results in colon and rectal cancer
This study looks at how well cancer found on scans matches the actual cancer seen under the microscope after surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan treatment for colon, sigmoid, or rectal adenocarcinoma.
London, SurreyAges 16 years+ - NCT04093466RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new pill for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests kanitinib (CX1003), a new cancer medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors that have come back or stopped responding to standard treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see early signs of tumor response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT02704520Recruiting
MRI scoring test for rectal cancer response to treatment
This study looks at how an MRI “score” (mrTRG) matches how well locally advanced rectal cancer shrinks after pre-surgery chemotherapy and radiation. The goal is to use MRI results to better predict treatment response and guide care.
Aberdeen, AberdeenshireAges 16 years+ - NCT04547166RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New targeted immune drug plus bevacizumab and chemo for colon cancer
This trial studies serplulimab (an immune-related drug) together with bevacizumab and chemotherapy to treat metastatic colorectal (colon) cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see whether this combination improves outcomes and is safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04760327RecruitingPhase 2
Electrotherapy for returning gynecologic cancers
This Phase 2 study tests electrotherapy (a way to help treatment reach tumor cells) for gynecologic cancers that have come back after standard treatments were used up. You may be considered if your overall health allows anesthesia and if certain cancer spread and medical safety issues do not apply.
LjubljanaAges 18–105 - NCT05683886RecruitingPhase 2
Study KC1036 for advanced thymus tumors after chemotherapy
This trial tests KC1036 in people with advanced thymoma or thymic carcinoma whose cancer came back or spread after their first standard chemotherapy. It may offer a new treatment option when earlier treatment no longer worked.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05501665RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adaptive radiation plus pembrolizumab for stage IV lung cancer
This trial tests a personalized (“adaptive”) radiation plan combined with pembrolizumab, and possibly chemotherapy, for advanced stage IV lung cancer. It aims to improve cancer control while carefully managing side effects, including in patients with certain brain metastases.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06642363RecruitingPhase 1
Astaxanthin for PCOS symptoms and heart health
This trial tests if astaxanthin, a natural antioxidant, can improve PCOS symptoms and heart-related health in women with PCOS who are overweight but not pregnant or breastfeeding.
Isfahan, IsfahanAges 18–45 - NCT06274892Recruiting
Using an app to improve radiotherapy check-ins
This study tests whether using a mobile app to report symptoms during radiation treatment helps doctors better support patients. It is for people with breast or prostate cancer starting radiation therapy at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06060990Recruiting
Copper and trace elements in biliary tract cancer
This study looks at levels of copper and other minerals in the blood of people with biliary tract cancer (cancer of the bile ducts or gallbladder). If you have not had treatment yet, this trial may help doctors understand how these elements relate to your cancer.
LjubljanaAges 18–80 - NCT07702708Recruiting
AI predicts chemotherapy response in HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial uses AI to analyze your pre-treatment MRI and predict how well your tumor will respond to chemotherapy before surgery. It is for people with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who need chemo before their operation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07703735Enrolling by invitation
Survival after ABO-mismatch living donor liver transplant for liver cancer
This trial looks at how well patients with liver cancer do after receiving a living donor liver transplant that is not the same blood type. It compares survival and cancer return for these patients.
Ages 18 years+ - NCT07699939RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative immunotherapy plus chemo for advanced gastric cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug HLX10 (serplulimab) to standard chemotherapy (S-1 plus oxaliplatin) before and after surgery can improve outcomes for patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has a high level of PD-L1 protein.
Chiba, ChibaAges 18–80 - NCT07699705Recruiting
Proton Beam Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer
This study tests a very short course (ultrahypofractionated) of proton beam radiation for localized prostate cancer. It aims to see if it's safe and effective with fewer treatment visits.
