CHT101 for CD70-positive advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called CHT101 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific protein (CD70) on the cancer cells. It may be an option if standard treatments have already been tried and failed.
TianjinAges 18–70 - NCT03609112Recruiting
Study brain and thinking risks in children with solid tumors
This study looks at how cancer treatment may affect children’s thinking and brain health. It may help doctors better understand risks so they can monitor and support learning and memory during and after treatment.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges Any age - NCT06730529Recruiting
Using 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT scan for thyroid cancer lymph nodes
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see how well it finds cancer spread in lymph nodes before thyroid cancer surgery. It may help doctors plan your treatment more accurately.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 16–80 - NCT06730503Recruiting
Glycoprotein test for lung cancer immunotherapy response
This study looks at whether certain glycoproteins in your blood can help predict how well immunotherapy works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You would give blood samples before and after starting an immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06729944Recruiting
Genetic testing study for bile duct cancers
This trial looks at how well a modern genetic test (next-generation sequencing) works when analyzing tissue samples from people with bile duct cancer. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors better understand these tumors.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06730243Recruiting
New robotic vs. standard surgery for early prostate cancer
This trial compares a new robotic surgical technique (with a special urethra repair) to standard robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery for men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see which approach best preserves urinary control.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04278287RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Chemoradiation study for unresectable esophageal cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a treatment plan using chemotherapy plus radiation for esophageal squamous cell cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It may help shrink or control the cancer and guide safer dosing, but it’s only for people with specific tumor stage, health status, and blood test results.
Anyang, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT04113122Recruiting
Study of early aging after chemotherapy in young testicular cancer patients
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect “early aging” in people who had metastatic testicular cancer before age 50. It includes people who are starting cisplatin-based chemotherapy and a comparison group with earlier-stage disease.
