Your own immune T-cells to treat advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a treatment made from your own tumor-fighting immune cells (TIL cells) for advanced solid cancers that have worsened or no longer respond to standard therapy. The main goal is to learn whether it is safe and whether it can shrink tumors for people who have limited options.

Real-world study of Enhertu for advanced gastric cancer
This study looks at how well the drug Trastuzumab Deruxtecan works and how safe it is in real-world patients with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal cancer whose tumors are HER2-positive. The goal is to gather more information beyond what was learned in clinical trials.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05077735RecruitingPhase 2
Split-course radiation for diffuse midline glioma
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy for a type of brain tumor called diffuse midline glioma. It aims to see if splitting the radiation into smaller courses can help while reducing side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 1 year+ - NCT05641831RecruitingPhase 2
Canakinumab to prevent clonal blood count problems turning into cancer
This Phase 2 study tests canakinumab to help stop high-risk clonal cytopenias of unknown significance (CCUS) from progressing into a blood cancer. If you have persistent low blood counts and specific genetic features, this treatment may lower the chance of progression.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06757192Recruiting
Colorectal cancer screening study for adults 45-54
This study is looking for people aged 45 to 54 who have not been screened for colorectal cancer (CRC) yet. It aims to understand and improve screening rates. You may be eligible if you are a patient at the health center and have no personal or family history of colorectal cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 45–54 - NCT07434284RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cell therapy plus immunotherapy for advanced gynecologic cancers
This trial is testing a new combination treatment for advanced gynecologic cancers (like ovarian, cervical, or endometrial) that have not responded to standard therapies. It combines a type of cell therapy (cCTL) with another immunotherapy to see if it can help patients who have few other options.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06824155RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Radioactive drug for HER2-positive advanced cancers
This trial tests a radioactive drug (lutetium-177) that targets the HER2 protein, which is found on some cancer cells. It's for people with advanced, HER2-positive or HER2-low solid tumors that haven't responded to other treatments.
Kingswood, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06925893Recruiting
Lutein eye treatment for age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a new way to deliver lutein, a nutrient that may help with eye health, directly into the eye using a mild electrical current (called iontophoresis). It is for people with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common cause of vision loss in older adults.
NaplesAges 55–100 - NCT06673095Recruiting
Narrow vs wide surgery for invasive skin melanoma
This trial compares two surgeries for invasive melanoma: a narrow removal versus a wider one. It aims to see if a smaller surgery works as well, which could mean less scarring and recovery time.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06737731RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
SHR-1681 for advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to treatment
This trial tests a new drug called SHR-1681 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments or for which no standard treatment exists. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05910294Recruiting
Preventing and improving sexual health in early breast cancer
