San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07698314Recruiting
Exercise study for women after breast cancer treatment
This study looks at how a supervised exercise program affects muscle-related substances (myokines) in women who have finished breast cancer treatment. It may help understand how exercise can support recovery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 20–89 - NCT07704177RecruitingPhase 2
A study of trastuzumab rezetecan plus two other drugs for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (trastuzumab rezetecan, adebrelimab, and lenvatinib) for people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has HER2 protein on its cells. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07698366Recruiting
Ultrasound screening for breast cancer in older women
This study tests if ultrasound screening can help find breast cancer early in women aged 65–80 who live in the community. Participants will have an ultrasound exam to check for signs of breast cancer.
