AI model for breast cancer from tissue images
This trial tests an artificial intelligence (AI) model that looks at pictures of breast tissue to find cancer. It may help improve early detection and reduce the need for invasive tests.
DhakaAges Any age - NCT06718205RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab plus immunotherapy and chemo for esophageal cancer
This study tests a new combination of drugs for advanced esophageal cancer. It adds an antibody (nimotuzumab) and an immunotherapy (sintilimab) to standard chemotherapy, aiming to improve how well treatment works.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06718153Recruiting
Using protein tests to diagnose liver cancer types
This trial uses special stains on tumor tissue to find genetic changes in liver cancer cells. It may help doctors better diagnose and classify the type of liver cancer you have.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT05185739RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab and lenvatinib before liver surgery for resectable cancer
This trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) and lenvatinib (a targeted pill) before planned liver surgery can improve outcomes for people with certain types of operable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It’s meant for tumors that can be removed with curative intent, but still carry a risk of coming back.
BirminghamAges 18 years+ - NCT06718309RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy with targeted radiation before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation before surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06718738RecruitingPhase 1
IM96 CAR-T for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy called IM96 CAR-T, which targets a protein (GUCY2C) found on tumor cells. It is for people with advanced colorectal or stomach cancer that has not responded to standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04616300Recruiting
Exercise program to support brain function during breast cancer chemo
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can help protect or improve thinking and memory in people with breast cancer while they are starting chemotherapy after surgery. It may help with “chemo brain” by targeting brain function during treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT05606523Recruiting
Test gut bacteria treatment for weight loss in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how changing the gut microbiome (gut bacteria) may help people with pancreatic cancer regain strength and slow or reverse cancer-related weight loss (cachexia). It also studies gut bacteria differences in people with pancreatic cancer who are losing weight versus those whose weight is stable, and in healthy volunteers.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT05203003Recruiting
Testing whether measurable cancer leftovers predict outcomes
This study looks at whether small leftover signs of multiple myeloma in blood or bone marrow (called measurable residual disease, or MRD) can predict how well treatment works. It involves people already taking study treatment in a larger trial and checks results about two years later to see who benefits most.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07587086Recruiting
PET/MR scan for breast cancer using fluorocholine
This study uses a special imaging scan (PET/MR) with a tracer called fluorocholine to see if it can help evaluate breast cancer before treatment or before surgery. It is for women who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer and will either have chemotherapy before surgery or go straight to surgery.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 25–75 - NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT06679920Recruiting
New imaging probe to improve bladder cancer diagnosis
This trial tests a new optical probe that gives doctors a clearer view of bladder tumors during cystoscopy. It may help make diagnosis and treatment more accurate.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07593248Recruiting
Real-World Lung Cancer Outcomes With Targeted Drug Therapy in China
This study looks at how well patients with early-stage lung cancer (that has been surgically removed) do when treated with a targeted drug called EGFR-TKI to prevent cancer from coming back. Researchers will track actual patient outcomes in China from 2023 to 2026.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07589257RecruitingPhase 2
