This trial compares two different surgical approaches for treating bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) to see which method works better and is safer. You would undergo surgery and have your recovery and outcomes closely monitored.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07605611Recruiting
Somatostatin and Diet vs. Stoma After Rectal Cancer Surgery
This trial tests whether using a medication called somatostatin plus a clear liquid diet can safely prevent serious complications after surgery to remove rectal cancer, without needing a temporary opening in the abdomen (stoma). You'll be randomly assigned to receive either somatostatin with diet changes or a stoma, depending on your individual risk factors.
Ezhou, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07608848RecruitingEarly Phase 1

Gut Bacteria Treatment for Advanced Kidney Cancer Resistant to Immunotherapy
This study tests whether modifying your gut bacteria can help immunotherapy work again in advanced kidney cancer that has stopped responding to initial immune-checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Researchers will give you a special bacterial preparation along with a new immunotherapy drug to see if this combination can slow or shrink your cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–90 - NCT07607873Recruiting
Transplant vs surgery after chemo for liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial compares liver transplant versus liver surgery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed initially. You would first receive chemotherapy to shrink the tumors, and if they become removable, you may be randomly assigned to have a liver transplant or standard liver surgery.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07604987RecruitingPhase 2
New Treatment for Brain Lymphoma (R-PMDT)
This trial tests a combination drug treatment called R-PMDT for patients newly diagnosed with a type of lymphoma that starts in the brain (PCNSL). The goal is to see if this regimen can help control the cancer and improve outcomes.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT06711432Recruiting
Blood Pressure Management During Tumor Surgery and Brain Function
This trial compares different blood pressure management strategies during abdominal tumor surgery to see which one better protects cognitive function (thinking, memory, and clarity). It is for patients who have multiple stroke risk factors and are undergoing a lengthy surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40–85 - NCT06711055Recruiting
Taxane plus targeted therapy for early HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a taxane chemotherapy combined with a targeted therapy for women with early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes. It aims to provide a tailored treatment based on tumor size and risk factors.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06711068Recruiting
Chemotherapy plus targeted therapy for HER2+ early breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted therapy to chemotherapy after surgery can help prevent HER2-positive early breast cancer from coming back. It is for patients whose cancer has not spread to lymph nodes and who have certain tumor sizes and features.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT04533217Recruiting
Vertebroplasty for multiple myeloma back pain
This trial tests whether adding a procedure called vertebroplasty to usual care can better reduce back pain from multiple myeloma. It’s for people who have a small number of spine fractures in a specific area and significant pain.
Middelfart, Region SyddanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06711471RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced stomach cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests a combination of three drugs — trifluridine/tipiracil (a chemotherapy pill), bevacizumab (avastin, a targeted therapy), and camrelizumab (an immunotherapy) — as a later treatment option for people with advanced stomach cancer who have already tried other therapies. It may help patients whose cancer has not responded to previous treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06711211Recruiting
Digestive cancer registry study
This study collects information from patients with different types of digestive cancers to better understand these diseases and improve future care. It does not test a new treatment, but helps doctors learn more about digestive cancers over time.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06711185RecruitingPhase 3
Can dapagliflozin protect breast cancer patients' hearts during chemo?
This trial tests if a diabetes medicine called dapagliflozin (also known as Farxiga) can protect the hearts of women with breast cancer while they receive anthracycline chemotherapy. You would take the medicine and have heart MRI scans to see if it helps prevent heart damage.
Campinas, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT02572778Recruiting
Study using patient tumor samples in head and neck cancer
This study uses tumor tissue taken from people with head and neck cancer, then grows it in a lab to better understand the cancer and predict responses. If you have a new or returning cancer and can share key medical details and follow-up information, you may be able to take part.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05254197Recruiting
Brain tumor monitoring study with follow-up brain scans
This study follows people with lower-grade (WHO grade 2 or less) brain tumors using repeat MRI scans over time. It helps doctors understand how these tumors change and which patients may safely delay treatment at first.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06278857RecruitingPhase 2
Dostarlimab for early-stage MMR deficient endometrial cancer
This trial tests the drug dostarlimab for patients with early-stage endometrial cancer that is MMR deficient. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective for those who want to preserve their uterus or cannot have surgery.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05953350RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Hydroxychloroquine plus CDK4/6 medicine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding hydroxychloroquine (a medicine that affects a cell recycling process called autophagy) can boost the anti-cancer effect of high-dose CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment in advanced solid tumors. It may help tumors respond better after prior CDK4/6 treatments have stopped working.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06108492RecruitingPhase 1
A new bladder cancer drug given directly into the bladder

Comparing TACE plus lenvatinib with or without ablation for recurrent liver cancer
This trial compares two treatments for people whose liver cancer has come back (recurrent intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma). One group gets TACE plus lenvatinib (a targeted therapy), the other gets TACE plus lenvatinib plus ablation (a procedure that destroys tumors with heat or cold). The goal is to see which combination works better.
