Ascorbic acid plus immunotherapy for spread colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether intravenous vitamin C (ascorbic acid) combined with an immune treatment (adebrelimab) can slow or shrink metastatic colorectal cancer that can’t be removed with surgery. It focuses on tumors that strongly show a specific marker called GLUT3, and aims to see if the combination works better than standard approaches.
Shanhai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06084806RecruitingPhase 2
Testing reliability of a new PET scan for NSCLC on immunotherapy
This study tests a new PET imaging agent to see how consistently it shows immune activity in the body. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are about to start immunotherapy.

MRI-targeted biopsy for first-time prostate cancer screening
This trial is testing a new way to do prostate biopsies by combining MRI findings with a targeted biopsy on the same side as the suspicious area. It is for men who have not had a biopsy before and have a moderately high PSA level.
NanjingAges 60–80 - NCT06617481RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan study for early prostate cancer recurrence
This trial uses a special PET scan to detect prostate cancer when your PSA level is slightly rising after prostate removal surgery. It aims to find cancer early so treatment decisions can be better informed.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06611345Recruiting
Tumor-treating fields with immunotherapy and chemo for bile duct cancer
This trial is testing a new combination of treatments—a wearable device that sends electric fields to the tumor area (tumor-treating fields) plus immunotherapy (durvalumab) and chemotherapy (gemcitabine/cisplatin)—for people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer. It may be an option if you haven't had chemotherapy for advanced disease before.
HefeiAges 18–75 - NCT06656624RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new approach: starting with a targeted pill (ribociclib) plus hormone therapy (an aromatase inhibitor), instead of immediate chemotherapy, for women with a specific type of breast cancer (ER low-positive, HER2-negative) that is growing quickly. If eligible, you would not have received any prior treatment for your advanced cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–99 - NCT06656728Recruiting
Simplifying cancer screening with a new tool
This trial tests a new screening tool that helps doctors find cancer. It involves completing medical exams and questionnaires. The study is for people who have not had cancer in the last 5 years.
Tel AvivAges 40 years+ - NCT06656949Recruiting
ICG injection for lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer
This trial tests whether injecting a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) in different spots can better find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for endometrial cancer. It may help doctors remove fewer nodes and reduce side effects.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT05810571Recruiting
Pain-control injections compared after open kidney surgery
This study compares two types of pain-control injections placed near the back to see which works better after open kidney (nephrectomy) surgery. If you’re having elective open nephrectomy, it may help doctors choose the safest and most effective way to reduce postoperative pain.
İzmitAges 18–85 - NCT03721783Recruiting
Study of freezing treatment for children when doctors choose cryoablation
This trial enrolls children whose doctors decide they need a freezing procedure called cryoablation. The study looks at how this treatment is used in infants and children, including situations where it may be difficult or not possible at some point.
LondonAges Up to 18 years - NCT05851534Recruiting
Pre-surgery risk reduction for pancreatic surgery
This study helps people going for planned pancreatic cancer surgery (with or without chemo beforehand) by focusing on controllable risk factors before the operation. The goal is to improve safety and outcomes after surgery.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT05662540Recruiting
PET/MR scans for newly diagnosed NK/T-cell lymphoma staging
This trial studies whether special imaging with PET/MR can help stage (find the extent of) and evaluate treatment effectiveness in people newly diagnosed with NK/T-cell lymphoma. It may help doctors choose the right treatment plan and track how well therapy is working.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 14–70 - NCT06659653RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PRG-2302 for relapsed or hard-to-treat B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This trial tests a new drug called PRG-2302 for people whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (a type of blood cancer) has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if PRG-2302 is safe and can help control the disease.
Jinzhou, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT06416150Recruiting
Text message support for cervical cancer screening
This study aims to reduce gaps in cervical cancer care by using text messages to help people who have been referred for a colposcopy. If you qualify, you will receive text reminders and support to make sure you get the follow-up you need.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18–90 - NCT06574126RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for high-risk smoldering myeloma
This trial tests a new CAR T-cell therapy (cilta-cel) for people with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. It aims to prevent progression to active myeloma.
SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT07686380RecruitingPhase 2
IL-15 treatment with or without vaccine for prostate cancer
This trial tests a drug called IL-15 superagonist (with or without a vaccine) for men whose prostate cancer has come back (shown by rising PSA) after they already had targeted radiation therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can lower or control PSA levels.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07687849Recruiting
Workplace diet study for Avon firefighters
This study tests a workplace diet program designed for UK firefighters. It aims to see if the program can improve your health and well-being while on the job.
BristolAges 18 years+ - NCT06651151RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant LTX-315 plus pembrolizumab for resectable melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (LTX-315 and pembrolizumab) given before surgery to shrink melanoma that is stage III or IV (M1a) and can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach works better than surgery alone.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06659276Recruiting
Comparing two imaging methods for multiple myeloma
This trial compares two whole-body imaging scans (full-body MRI using DWI and a PET/CT scan) to see which does a better job detecting and staging active multiple myeloma. If you have been newly diagnosed or are being evaluated for suspected symptomatic myeloma, joining could help doctors learn which test is best for planning your care.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT05936840Recruiting
