Immunotherapy before surgery for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) before surgery can help people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutated, PD-L1 positive) that can be removed. The goal is to see if it improves treatment results compared to surgery alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05933876Recruiting
Radiation study for limited spread cancer
This trial looks at whether giving radiation treatment to tumors in people with a limited number of metastases can help control the cancer. It is for adults with certain cancer types that have spread to specific organs, and who can manage daily activities with little or no help.

This trial tests a new drug called JYP0035 alone in people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT06693791RecruitingPhase 2
Romiplostim for platelet recovery after cord blood transplant
This trial tests a drug called Romiplostim N01 to help platelet levels recover faster in people with blood cancers who have had a cord blood transplant. It may reduce the need for platelet transfusions and lower bleeding risk.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06639347RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing SHR-A2102 for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug called SHR-A2102, which is a type of targeted therapy (an antibody-drug conjugate) for advanced urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer). It may help if your cancer has not responded to standard treatments or if you are starting treatment for advanced disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06573073Recruiting
Lung cancer test for EGFR T790M mutation
This trial tests a new blood test that can detect a specific genetic change (EGFR T790M) in advanced lung cancer. It aims to see if the test works well for guiding treatment decisions.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06674096RecruitingPhase 2
Two chemotherapy sequences for elderly double expressor DLBCL
This trial tests a new sequence of two chemotherapy regimens (RLC followed by CR-CHOP) for elderly patients with a fast-growing DLBCL called double expressor lymphoma. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who may not tolerate standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 65 years+ - NCT06044623RecruitingPhase 3
Tailoring cancer pill dosing for older adults with breast cancer
This trial is testing whether adjusting the dose of a targeted therapy (CDK 4/6 inhibitor) based on a geriatric assessment can be as effective and safer for people aged 70 and older with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It aims to find the best dose to balance benefits and side effects.
HelsinkiAges 70 years+ - NCT04880356Recruiting
Study of very rare inherited brain diseases over time
This study follows adults over time who have a very rare inherited brain disease, or whose illness seems like it may run in families. The goal is to better understand these conditions and how they progress.
Milan, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06693375RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new imaging agent for rectal cancer lymph nodes
This trial tests a new nanoparticle-based imaging agent to better see lymph nodes near the rectum. It first checks healthy volunteers for safety, then studies people with rectal cancer to see if it can help guide surgery.
UppsalaAges 18–99 - NCT06692062Recruiting
Hypofractionated radiation for thymoma and thymic carcinoma
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation (hypofractionated radiotherapy) for people with thymoma or thymic carcinoma. It aims to see if fewer, larger doses of radiation are safe and effective for treating these tumors.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06693440Recruiting
How PD-1 antibody therapy affects immune function in cancer
This trial is studying how PD-1 antibody therapy (a type of immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) affects the immune system in people with various cancers. It may be a good fit if you have a confirmed cancer diagnosis and have your medical records and immune test results available.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT03971045RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus low-dose oral chemo for chest wall breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus low-dose oral cyclophosphamide in people with chest wall breast cancer that has spread locally and may have distant metastases. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and control cancer longer, especially in tumors with certain immune markers.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07630545RecruitingPhase 1

This trial tests an experimental vaccine called YKYY031 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The vaccine aims to help your immune system fight cancer cells that carry specific markers. It may be an option if you have certain genetic markers and tumor proteins.
