You would wear these gloves and socks during and after your chemotherapy treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07646145RecruitingPhase 2
Disitamab Vedotin Plus Mitomycin C for HER2-Positive Bladder Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two medications—disitamab vedotin (a targeted therapy) and mitomycin C (a chemotherapy)—for people with early-stage bladder cancer that has a specific protein called HER2. The goal is to prevent cancer from coming back after surgery in people who cannot or will not receive BCG treatment.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07644897RecruitingPhase 2
Thymosin Alpha 1 Plus Anti-PD-1 for Advanced Melanoma in Older Adults
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—thymosin alpha 1 (an immune-boosting protein) and an anti-PD-1 antibody (a cancer immunotherapy)—in patients 60 and older with advanced melanoma that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to help the immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 60 years+ - NCT07638683RecruitingPhase 2
Teclistamab and Daratumumab for New Multiple Myeloma With Amyloidosis
This trial tests a combination of two newer cancer-fighting drugs (teclistamab and daratumumab) to treat people who have just been diagnosed with multiple myeloma—a blood cancer—and also have light chain amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in organs. The goal is to see if this combination works better and is safe for newly diagnosed patients.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07638436RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with chemotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether combining a new immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) with standard chemotherapy can help shrink borderline resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma before surgery. The goal is to make tumors easier to remove and improve survival.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07638410Recruiting
Getting fit before major cancer surgery
This trial tests whether special preparation exercises and wellness support before chemotherapy and major abdominal or pelvic surgery can help you recover better and stay stronger. You'll work with a team including exercise specialists and mental health counselors before your operation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07642856Recruiting
Brain Stimulation With Therapy for Cerebellar Disorders
This study tests a combination of gentle brain stimulation paired with specialized exercises designed to help people with cerebellar conditions—disorders affecting balance, coordination, and movement. The goal is to see if pairing these two approaches together works better than either alone.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT07638371RecruitingPhase 1
MSK-TCR5 Cell Therapy for RAS G12D Solid Tumors
This study tests a new type of cell therapy called MSK-TCR5, designed to fight solid cancers (like pancreatic, lung, or colon cancer) that have a specific RAS G12D mutation. The therapy uses your own immune cells trained to recognize and attack cancer cells with this mutation.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07644598RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted Radiation Therapy for Low to Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer
This study tests a new radiation treatment approach that uses MRI imaging to target specific tumor areas within the prostate while reducing radiation to healthy tissue. It may help patients with early-stage prostate cancer get effective treatment with fewer side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07645469RecruitingPhase 1
WT1-targeting T cells with azacitidine for AML
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has minimal residual disease (small amounts of cancer left after treatment). The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified to target a protein called WT1 on leukemia cells, and combines it with a drug called azacitidine.
