Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03417336Recruiting
Radiation for prostate cancer using smaller, targeted doses
This trial studies a specific radiation schedule for prostate cancer (with an extra “boost” dose) and checks whether it works well and is tolerable. It may help people with higher-risk, localized prostate cancer by aiming at the cancer while limiting side effects to surrounding tissues.
DijonAges 18–85 - NCT06954558RecruitingPhase 1
GK01 for advanced solid tumors that are hard to treat
This trial tests a new drug called GK01 in patients with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective, and may be an option for those who can have a tumor surgically removed.
TianjinAges 18–70 - NCT07296341RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
HRS-4642 plus other therapies for pancreatic cancer
This study tests an experimental drug (HRS-4642) combined with other cancer treatments for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07331532Recruiting
New pet scan to detect annexin a2 in lung tumors
This trial tests a new injection called 68Ga-PFA2 for PET/CT scans to find a protein called Annexin A2 in lung cancer tumors. It aims to see if this scan can better detect or characterize these tumors in patients who will have a biopsy or surgery soon.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06607107RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for liver cancer beyond Milan criteria
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (mFOLFOX7) plus two targeted/immunotherapy drugs (camrelizumab and apatinib) for people with liver cancer that has grown beyond standard transplant criteria. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06488950RecruitingEarly Phase 1
TIL therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of personalized cell therapy (TIL) for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard treatment options. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink tumors.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05701176Recruiting
Imaging scan to see how anti–PD-1 changes lung cancer cells
This study uses special PET imaging to measure changes in a marker ([18F]F-AraG) in non-small cell lung cancer after starting anti–PD-1 treatment. It aims to learn whether these scan changes reflect how the cancer responds.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06364384RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy for rectal squamous cell carcinoma
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (cisplatin and 5-FU), radiation, and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody) for people with a rare type of rectal cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink or eliminate the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05579275RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study JCXH-212 to treat advanced solid tumors safely
This early trial tests whether JCXH-212 alone, or with toripalimab (an immunotherapy drug), is safe and tolerable in people with advanced solid cancers. It also looks at whether treatment can help by targeting tumor “neoantigens” found in your tumor tissue.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06981637RecruitingPhase 2
PLD vs. observation for advanced soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests whether a type of chemotherapy called pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) can help keep advanced soft tissue sarcoma from growing after successful first treatment with standard anthracycline-based chemo. You may be eligible if you've completed 4-8 cycles of that initial chemo and your disease is controlled (shrank or stable).
Kaohsiung CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06903117RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-Cell Therapy for CEA-Positive Advanced Lung Cancer
This early-stage trial tests a special immune cell treatment (CAR T cells) designed to target and attack lung cancer cells that have a protein called CEA on their surface. It's for people with advanced lung cancer who have already tried at least two standard treatments without success.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06490211Recruiting
Studying multi-omics data for urinary tumor diagnosis and treatment
This trial collects and analyzes imaging, lab tests, and tissue samples from people with bladder, kidney, or prostate cancer. The goal is to see how combining these different types of information can improve diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06791408Recruiting
AI-assisted endocytoscopy for small colorectal polyps
This trial uses artificial intelligence to help doctors look at small growths in the colon or rectum. It aims to see if the AI can accurately tell what they are while you are still undergoing the procedure.
Changchun, JilinAges Any age - NCT07325006Recruiting
How Doctors' Behavior Affects Cancer Distress
This study looks at how doctors' behavior affects the distress cancer patients feel. It's for patients who are getting or recently finished radiation at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06904131Recruiting
CAR-T cell therapy for advanced gynecological cancers
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR-T cells for advanced ovarian, uterine, or other gynecological cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The CAR-T cells are specially designed to target proteins (MUC1, MSLN, PD-L1) found on cancer cells.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06888102RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Epigenetic therapy before prostate surgery
This trial tests a short course of 'epigenetic therapy' (drugs that change how genes work) given before prostate removal surgery. The goal is to see if it can improve treatment effects and help shrink or control the tumor.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05705687Recruiting
Testing a treatment plan for higher-risk testicular cancer
This trial checks whether a specific treatment approach works better for men with higher-risk non-seminomatous germ-cell tumors that have spread. Doctors will use tumor marker changes and where the cancer started (often the chest area) to help guide treatment choices.
VillejuifAges 16 years+ - NCT06492083Recruiting
Hot pack treatment for nerve pain from chemo
This study tests if a traditional Chinese medicine hot pack can help reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy drugs like platinum and paclitaxel. It also looks at how to best care for patients during this treatment.

Bangkoknoi, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07319130Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new PET scan for Nectin-4-positive tumors
This trial tests a new imaging injection (a radioactive tracer called 68Ga) that sticks to a protein called Nectin-4, which is often found on cancer cells. The goal is to see if this scan can better find tumors in people with certain solid cancers, such as bladder, breast, or lung cancer.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07295171Recruiting
PET scan study with oral radioactive sugar
This study tests if giving a radioactive sugar drink (instead of an IV) before a PET scan works well for cancer imaging. If you already had a standard PET scan, you may be eligible for a second scan using the oral version.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT07349160RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Metabolically armed TIL therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called Meta10-TIL, where immune cells from your tumor are modified and given back to you to help fight cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments.
