Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07620574Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-Term Study Continuing Cancer Treatment from Previous Trial
This study lets people who were in an earlier Exelixis cancer treatment trial continue receiving the same treatment if it's still helping them. It's designed to see how safe and effective the treatment is over a longer period.
Bay Shore, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07619287RecruitingPhase 1
Testing BG-75202 for blood cancers that came back
This study tests a new drug called BG-75202, alone or combined with other treatments, for myeloid malignancies (blood cancers affecting bone marrow cells) that have returned or stopped responding to previous treatment. The goal is to see if this drug can help control the cancer.
Concord, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06706700Recruiting
Biomarkers to predict cancer risk in pancreatic IPMN
This trial studies whether blood markers can help predict which pancreatic IPMNs are likely to become cancerous. If successful, it could help doctors decide when surgery is needed.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06705127RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation, chemo, and immunotherapy for HR+ breast cancer
This trial tests if giving radiation first, then chemo with an immunotherapy drug called Toripalimab, can help treat a certain type of breast cancer that has not spread to other organs. It is for people with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer that is growing fast.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT03860883Recruiting
Comparing wider versus narrower surgery margins for stage II melanoma
This trial studies whether removing a slightly wider strip of skin around a melanoma improves outcomes compared with a narrower strip. It also uses a lymph node staging procedure to check spread and helps doctors fine-tune surgery for stage II melanoma.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06706713RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BEBT-109 for advanced EGFR exon 20 lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental pill called BEBT-109 for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation) that has gotten worse after chemotherapy. The study aims to see if this targeted therapy can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05000697Recruiting
Watch-and-wait or chemo after rectal cancer radiation
This trial studies people with early-to-mid stage distal rectal cancer who may get radiation and chemotherapy, with an option that may include an extra drug (oxaliplatin). It also tests whether some people can safely follow a “watch and wait” plan instead of immediate additional treatment, aiming to reduce overtreatment while keeping cancer control.
Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT05529940RecruitingPhase 3
FOLFIRINOX around surgery for resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial compares giving chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX before and after surgery versus giving it mainly after surgery for people with resectable pancreatic duct cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by timing the treatment around the operation.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT05891561RecruitingPhase 2
Short antibody treatment after surgery for early HER2+ breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a shorter schedule of trastuzumab and pertuzumab combined with chemotherapy (taxanes) to reduce breast cancer coming back after surgery. It mainly helps people with early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer that has not spread, by testing whether a shorter plan still works well and is tolerable.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05940311Recruiting
Blood test for melanoma with BRAF V600E mutation
This trial studies a very sensitive blood test to detect melanoma-related genetic changes in people with BRAF V600E. It may help track the disease more closely and guide care in advanced or high-risk situations.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06437353RecruitingPhase 2
Surufatinib combo for first-line and maintenance in high-risk ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of drugs (Surufatinib with carboplatin/paclitaxel) as first treatment for high-risk ovarian cancer, followed by a different combination (Surufatinib with olaparib) to keep the cancer from coming back. It aims to see if these targeted therapies work better than the standard approach.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05484908Recruiting
Tested treatment for hepatitis B-related liver cancer after immunotherapy
This trial studies whether the ALSS treatment is safe and effective for people with hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma who recently received immune checkpoint inhibitors. It may help improve outcomes for certain liver-related complications after immunotherapy, based on how their liver tests look.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06496386Recruiting
Robot-assisted lung surgery for older adults
This trial tests whether robotic-assisted surgery for lung cancer is safe and effective in elderly patients. It may be a good option if you are older and able to undergo surgery.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06637215Recruiting
Day surgery for colorectal cancer
This study tests whether a same-day surgery approach for colorectal cancer is safe and effective. It uses small incisions and special pain management to help you recover faster at home with a caregiver nearby.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06708858RecruitingPhase 2
Studying surufatinib with chemo and immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of a targeted therapy (surufatinib), chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin), and an immunotherapy (durvalumab or pembrolizumab) for people with advanced bile duct cancer that hasn't been treated with systemic therapy before. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05945745Recruiting
