Befotertinib after surgery for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a pill called befortinib for people with early-stage lung cancer who have had surgery. It aims to lower the chance of the cancer coming back. You might qualify if your tumor had certain high-risk features and you still have cancer DNA in your blood after surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06946407Recruiting
Chemotherapy combination for brain lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs to treat lymphoma that started in your brain. The goal is to see if this treatment helps without having to use whole-brain radiation.

Safety study of FTL001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called FTL001 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not improved with standard therapy. The goal is to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06941766RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab for intermediate trophoblastic tumors
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) for a rare type of pregnancy-related tumor called intermediate trophoblastic tumor. It may help women whose disease has spread, come back, or is resistant to standard treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07595237RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Radioactive treatment for advanced solid tumors with Claudin18.2
This early-stage trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-DOTA-SNA040) designed to target a protein called Claudin18.2 found on certain cancer cells. The drug delivers radiation directly to tumors in patients with advanced gastric, pancreatic, or bile duct cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06881537RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and targeted therapy before surgery for recurrent colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (CapeOX), a targeted drug (bevacizumab), and an immunotherapy (anti-PD1) given before surgery for colorectal cancer that has come back locally (in the same area). The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve surgical outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06944587Recruiting
Personalized care for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing a new way to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissues but not to distant organs. It uses a tailored plan that may include chemotherapy and possibly surgery. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps people live longer and better.
Bergen, NorwayAges 18 years+ - NCT06943742Recruiting
Brain scan without helium for children with brain tumors
This study uses a special type of brain scan (magnetoencephalography, or MEG) that doesn't need helium gas to see brain activity in children with brain tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors plan surgery or treatment better.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 3–18 - NCT07050056RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus radiation before lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether giving a combination of the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab and chest radiation before surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage, operable lung cancer. The goal is to find out if this approach helps shrink the tumor and makes surgery more effective.
