PET/CT imaging study for solid tumors
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to see how a new imaging agent (18F-FAPIBiotin) spreads in the body and how much radiation it gives off. It's for people with confirmed solid tumors to help make future imaging more accurate.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT06735391RecruitingPhase 3
JMT101 plus osimertinib vs osimertinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two targeted drugs (JMT101 and osimertinib) against osimertinib alone for people with advanced lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. The goal is to see if the combination works better as a first treatment.
GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT05055648RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs photon radiation for esophageal cancer before surgery
This trial compares proton therapy and standard photon therapy given before surgery for esophageal (or stomach–esophagus) cancer. It aims to see which radiation approach works better and is safer as part of a combined treatment plan.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT04920149RecruitingPhase 2
Mesalamine to help prevent colon cancer in Lynch syndrome
This trial tests whether mesalamine, a medicine used for bowel inflammation, can help prevent colorectal cancer in people with Lynch syndrome who do not currently have cancer. It may help by lowering the chance that new pre-cancer growths form over time.
AalborgAges 30 years+ - NCT05989854Recruiting
Online exercise for prostate cancer quality of life
This study tests whether a supervised online exercise program can improve quality of life for men with prostate cancer. It's designed for men who are on long-term hormone therapy and aren't currently receiving chemo or radiation.
Guildford, SurreyAges 18–99 - NCT06209606RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Blood test study for multiple myeloma progression
This study is testing whether a blood test that measures a protein called BCMA can help doctors know if your multiple myeloma is getting worse. You may be able to join if your myeloma has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments, and you have not taken the drug Ruxolitinib before.
West Hollywood, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06276868RecruitingPhase 2
Darsilide plus hormone therapy and double antibody for breast cancer
This trial tests if adding a new drug (darsilide) to standard hormone therapy and two antibodies (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) before surgery can improve outcomes for women with HR-positive, HER2-positive breast cancer that hasn't spread.
Henan, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT06561555RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug for advanced HER2-positive Paget's disease
This trial tests an investigational drug called Disitamab Vedotin for people with advanced Paget's disease that tests positive for HER2. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or improve skin lesions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06518135Recruiting
Sentinel node biopsy after chemo for initial node-positive breast cancer
This trial checks whether a less invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy (removing just a few nodes) can safely replace full lymph node removal for people whose breast cancer and underarm lymph nodes responded well to chemotherapy. It is for patients who initially had 1 to 3 involved nodes and now appear cancer-free in the armpit.
Henan, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT06723899Recruiting
Work rehabilitation for women with breast cancer
This study tests a six-week online program to help women with breast cancer return to work after completing their cancer treatments (except hormone therapy). The program focuses on rebuilding work skills and confidence.
GalwayAges 18–70 - NCT06737926Recruiting
Balance exercises for chemotherapy nerve damage in breast cancer
This study tests whether special balance and coordination exercises can help reduce nerve damage side effects (like numbness or tingling) caused by chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. You may benefit if you have these symptoms and want to improve your balance and movement.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–65 - NCT06737250RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug combo for relapsed brain lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (poseltinib, rituximab, and lenalidomide) for people with primary central nervous system lymphoma that has come back or not responded to earlier treatment. The goal is to see if this new mix can help control the disease.
BusanAges 19–80 - NCT06737107Recruiting
Comparing lung segmentectomy methods for early lung cancer
This trial looks back at medical records to compare different ways of performing a segmentectomy (removing a small part of the lung) for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to see which approach might lead to better outcomes for patients like you.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06731699RecruitingPhase 1
Testing FD-001 for blood cancers that returned or didn't respond
This trial tests a new drug, FD-001, for people with certain blood cancers (like leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma) that have come back or stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it might work.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06738459Recruiting
Matching lymph node tests in breast cancer
This study looks back at past MRI scans and lymph node biopsies or surgeries in people with breast cancer to better understand how cancer spreads to the lymph nodes. If you had these tests as part of your care, your data might help improve future treatment decisions.
VillachAges 18 years+ - NCT06696326Recruiting
New PET scan for prostate cancer detection
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (68Ga-MY6349) to better see prostate cancer in the body. It may help doctors find cancer that has come back or spread, so you can get the right treatment sooner.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–90 - NCT05673304Recruiting
Boost treatment before surgery for luminal B breast cancer
This trial tests a “boost” treatment given before surgery along with standard chemotherapy for luminal B–type breast cancer. It may help improve outcomes by strengthening treatment before the tumor is removed.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT04687631RecruitingPhase 3
Study drug for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This Phase 3 trial tests a treatment approach for colorectal cancer that cannot be removed with surgery at first but has spread only to the liver. It is intended for people whose tumor is RAS/BRAF “wild-type” and who are well enough to do daily activities, to see if the treatment can control the cancer better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06705465Recruiting
Rehabilitation for lung cancer patients
This trial tests a cross-sector rehabilitation program for people with non-small cell lung cancer (the most common type of lung cancer) who are starting their first cancer treatment. The goal is to see if this program helps you recover and feel better during and after treatment.
Herlev, DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT07552168RecruitingPhase 2
Advanced Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer in Ireland
This trial tests a newer type of radiation therapy called SABR (stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy) for men with prostate cancer. It aims to deliver high doses of radiation precisely to the tumor in fewer treatments, potentially reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
