SABR plus Lu-PSMA for limited prostate cancer spread
This trial studies whether adding Lu-PSMA therapy to targeted, high-precision radiation (SABR) can better control prostate cancer that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes or bones. It may help by treating both visible spots with the most accurate radiation and PSMA-targeted drug therapy.
St Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05585684Recruiting
Blood test to guide next cancer treatment choices
This study checks whether a blood test can find tumor genetic changes (called “plasma genomic profiling”) to help choose the best next treatment. It may help your care team decide therapy after your cancer progresses or seems likely to progress soon.

Test of special immune-support cells for solid tumors
This study tests lab-made mesenchymal stromal cells that release interferon alpha (IFNα) for people with locally advanced or metastatic solid cancers. It’s designed to see if this treatment can help when standard treatments have failed or don’t have guideline options.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07135102RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests an experimental radioactive drug ([225Ac]Ac-PSMA-XT) that targets prostate cancer cells. It is for men whose prostate cancer has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT04656041RecruitingPhase 2
Test chemo with radiation for gastroesophageal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of chemotherapy (5-FU/leucovorin plus irinotecan and oxaliplatin) together with radiation for certain types of esophagus/stomach-junction cancer. It may help shrink tumors and control cancer that is locally advanced but not spread to distant organs.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06840665RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus immunotherapy and chemo for rectal cancer
This trial combines a special type of radiation (MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy) with an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody) and chemotherapy (CAPOX) for locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can improve treatment outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04523428RecruitingPhase 2
Second round of targeted pills after short venetoclax benefit
This trial studies whether repeating two targeted medicines—venetoclax plus acalabrutinib—for a limited time can control CLL or SLL after you had a partial response to earlier venetoclax-based treatment. It may help people who need retreatment but want another approach beyond the first limited course.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05755399Recruiting
Ultrasound test during brain tumor surgery
This study checks whether a special, painless ultrasound technique can help measure a brain tumor during planned brain surgery. It may help doctors understand tumor location and behavior more accurately while you’re already in the operating room.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05694208Recruiting
Mobile phone education for people having gynecologic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether receiving education through your smartphone before and/or after gynecologic cancer surgery can improve your quality of life. It may help by giving you easier-to-follow information and support during recovery.
Avcılar, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07128914RecruitingPhase 1
Study of GO306 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called GO306 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It may be an option if you have certain cancers like breast, bladder, colorectal, kidney, ovarian, or neuroendocrine tumors, and you have malignant ascites (fluid buildup in the belly) that needs treatment.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07635342RecruitingPhase 2
Pyrotinib plus trastuzumab and chemotherapy for HER2-positive early breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—pyrotinib, trastuzumab, and chemotherapy—to treat HER2-positive breast cancer that has not been treated before. HER2 is a protein found on some cancer cells; blocking it may help stop the cancer from growing.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–65 - NCT07123103RecruitingPhase 1
Study of XB371 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called XB371 for people with advanced solid tumors that have come back or spread. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works against the cancer.
Rogers, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05796102Recruiting
