Y-90 beads plus chemo for liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding radioactive Y-90 microspheres (tiny beads that deliver radiation directly to liver tumors) to standard chemo (FOLFIRI and bevacizumab) can help people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread only to one lobe of the liver, when the first treatment stopped working. The goal is to slow down tumor growth.

Ablation plus drug therapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial tests a combination treatment that uses heat or cold (ablation) to destroy liver tumors along with medicines that boost your immune system to fight cancer. It is for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and who could not have surgery, or whose first treatment stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05209620RecruitingPhase 2
Orelabrutinib plus pemetrexed for lymphoma in the brain
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination medicine (orelabrutinib with pemetrexed) to treat lymphoma that has returned or is not responding, specifically in the brain or spinal fluid. If you qualify, the goal is to shrink measurable tumors and improve control of central nervous system lymphoma.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT07093866RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug combo for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—disitamab vedotin (a targeted antibody-drug that attacks HER2-positive cancer cells) and abiraterone (a hormone therapy)—to see if they can slow or shrink prostate cancer that has spread and become resistant to standard treatments.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07435701RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell injection into belly for advanced ovarian cancer with fluid buildup
This trial tests a new type of therapy where special cells (called SK-NK cells) are injected directly into the belly to treat fluid buildup (ascites) caused by advanced ovarian cancer. It is for patients whose cancer has not responded to at least two prior treatments and who have no other standard options left.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05197881Recruiting
Daily adaptive radiation for newly diagnosed cervical cancer
This study tests a radiation plan that is adjusted day by day to better match your cervix and surrounding tissues during treatment. It’s for newly diagnosed, advanced cervical cancer patients who will receive standard pelvic radiation and chemotherapy.
Burmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04204837RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for advanced skin squamous cell cancer
This trial studies nivolumab, an immune therapy, for skin squamous cell cancer that can’t be cured with surgery or radiation. It aims to see how well the treatment shrinks tumors and helps people live longer or longer without cancer growth.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06640725RecruitingPhase 2
TPEx chemo with maintenance immunotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (TPEx) followed by two immunotherapy drugs (avelumab and cetuximab) as a first treatment for head and neck cancer that has spread or come back. It is for people whose tumors show a protein called PD-L1 and who have not had chemotherapy for advanced disease before.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18–74 - NCT07018947RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab and bevacizumab before and after surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding two drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) before and after surgery can lower the chance of liver cancer coming back in people with high-risk HCC. You must be eligible for surgical removal of your tumor.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07402616Recruiting
Studying skin cancer tumors after surgery
This trial looks at skin cancer tumors removed during surgery to better understand how they grow. It may help you if you are an adult with a common type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma that is not in a sensitive area and is not too large.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06450171Recruiting
Multi-cancer early detection test for people at high risk
This study tests a blood-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) screening test in people with a high risk of cancer due to inherited gene changes or strong family history. The goal is to see if this test can find cancer early.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22 years+ - NCT07436741RecruitingPhase 3
Study of surufatinib plus chemo before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests if adding surufatinib to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help people with a certain type of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks the tumor more than chemotherapy alone.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07444268RecruitingPhase 1
Study of how DSP-5336 is processed in the body in advanced blood cancer patients
This trial looks at how your body absorbs, breaks down, and gets rid of the study drug DSP-5336 after a single dose. It is for people with advanced blood cancers that have come back or not responded to other treatments.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07077551RecruitingPhase 2
NALIRIFOX chemo for advanced neuroendocrine cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a combination chemotherapy called NALIRIFOX as a second treatment for people with advanced high-grade neuroendocrine cancers. The goal is to see if it can help when the first treatment didn't work.

Carbon ion re-irradiation for returning head and neck cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation called carbon-ion re-irradiation for people whose head and neck cancer has come back or grown again after earlier radiation.
