ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05006131Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer screening for people at higher risk
This study looks at how to screen the pancreas in people who are at increased risk for pancreatic cancer, using a set of risk guidelines. Screening may help find cancer (or early changes) sooner, when it may be easier to treat.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT05776693Enrolling by invitation
Understanding needs and support in people with gynecologic cancer
This study asks people with gynecologic cancer about their physical and emotional well-being, social support, and what kind of help they need. The goal is to better understand supportive care needs so care can be improved.
TaipeiAges 20–100 - NCT04999384RecruitingPhase 1
First-in-human dose study for advanced cancers using AN4005
This early study tests AN4005 in adults with advanced or hard-to-treat solid tumors or certain lymphomas. The goal is to find a safe dose and see how the treatment behaves in the body.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07375355Recruiting
A study of Scemblix for newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia in China
This study looks at how well the medicine Scemblix (asciminib) works for people in China who have just been diagnosed with a certain type of leukemia (chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase). It aims to see if starting this treatment soon after diagnosis is effective and safe.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–99 - NCT06953882RecruitingPhase 2
Skipping chemo after surgery for ER+ HER2- breast cancer
This study tests whether some people with a certain type of breast cancer (ER-positive, HER2-negative) can safely skip chemotherapy. After surgery, they receive a targeted pill (ribociclib) plus hormone therapy instead. The goal is to see if this approach works just as well with fewer side effects.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06930157RecruitingPhase 4
Shenling Baishu Granule to prevent low-risk colon polyp return
This study tests if a Chinese herbal medicine (Shenling Baishu Granule) can help prevent low-risk colon polyps from coming back after they've been removed. It is for people who have had a good colonoscopy and had their polyps taken out within the last 3 months.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06782425RecruitingPhase 1
Cell therapy for advanced stomach cancer with Claudin18.2 protein
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-T) that targets a protein called Claudin18.2 found on some stomach, esophagus, and gastroesophageal junction cancers. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors or stop them from growing when other treatments have stopped working.
Anyang, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05934331RecruitingPhase 2
Study for CLDN18.2-positive advanced gut cancers after first treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination anti-cancer medicine (LM-302) plus other anti-tumor treatments for advanced gastrointestinal cancers. It’s designed for people whose tumors test positive for CLDN18.2 and who have already tried standard first-line treatment but didn’t respond or couldn’t tolerate it.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT05773274RecruitingPhase 2
Retreating with 177Lu-DOTATATE radiation versus usual treatment
This trial tests whether repeating a targeted radioactive treatment (177Lu-DOTATATE) works better than standard options in people with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It may help by controlling tumor growth after the first round of this therapy stops working.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07373626Recruiting
