Anlotinib plus Aumolertinib for first-line treatment of advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (anlotinib and aumolertinib) as the first treatment for advanced lung cancer with a specific EGFR mutation (L858R). The goal is to see if the combination works better than standard care.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18 years+ - NCT05162677Recruiting
Study skin thickness and tissue after preventive breast removal
This study looks at what happens to the skin and remaining breast tissue after a preventive (non-cancer) mastectomy. It uses imaging and exams to understand why some patients may have skin healing problems.
UmeåAges 18–74 - NCT05177133RecruitingPhase 2
First-line treatment for MSI-high stomach or esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding an anti–PD-1 immunotherapy (retifanlimab) and chemotherapy (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin, with leucovorin) works better for people with metastatic or inoperable stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has defective mismatch repair (dMMR). If you’re eligible, it may help shrink tumors and slow the disease without needing prior chemotherapy for metastatic cancer.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07396324RecruitingPhase 2
A new drug before surgery for HR+ HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests whether the drug QL1706, given before surgery, can help treat hormone receptor positive and HER2-negative breast cancer. It is for people who have not yet had cancer spread to other parts of the body.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06349811RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-M05D1 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called BL-M05D1 for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05434234RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug YL201 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests YL201 in people with advanced (late-stage) solid cancers when usual treatments don’t work or can’t be tolerated. The study looks at how the treatment is given, how safe it is, and how well it can shrink tumors.
Fair Oaks, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06800664Recruiting
