A trial of 3 drugs before or after CAR-T for lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (polatuzumab vedotin, obinutuzumab, and glofitamab) for people with a type of large B-cell lymphoma. It is given either as a bridge treatment before CAR-T cell therapy or to those who did not fully respond to CAR-T.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT02432560Recruiting
Testing sirolimus for long-term treatment of LAM
This trial studies whether sirolimus can be used safely and works over time for LAM, a rare lung disease. You may be able to join if you already use (or cannot use) certain lung-targeting medicines called mTOR inhibitors, and if you can do regular clinic visits and breathing tests.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05601505RecruitingPhase 2
DNA blood test–guided treatment before rectal cancer surgery
This trial uses a special DNA blood test (circulating tumor DNA) to help guide chemotherapy and radiation before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by tailoring treatment based on the DNA signals from the tumor.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06689540RecruitingPhase 1
MTS105 for advanced liver cancer with GPC3
This trial tests a new treatment called MTS105 for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that has not responded to standard therapies. It targets a protein called GPC3 found on some liver cancer cells, aiming to stop the cancer from growing.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06126510RecruitingPhase 2
Study of VG161 for advanced bone and soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a new virus-based therapy (VG161) injected directly into tumors for people with advanced bone and soft tissue sarcoma that hasn't responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if the virus can shrink tumors and slow the cancer's growth.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06405490RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for first-line advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (NALIRI-XELOX) plus a newer immunotherapy drug (AK104) as a first treatment for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06425133RecruitingPhase 2
Regorafenib plus low-dose chemo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of regorafenib (a targeted pill that cuts off blood supply to tumors) with a low-dose, continuous chemotherapy regimen for people whose colorectal cancer has spread and is no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this mix can slow or stop the cancer's growth.
AuxerreAges 18 years+ - NCT06747481Recruiting
Predicting nerve invasion in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at two simple blood tests (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and CA 19.9) to see if they can predict whether the cancer has spread to nearby nerves in people with pancreatic cancer who have had surgery. This could help doctors plan better treatment.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Las PalmasAges Any age - NCT06746519RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BN104 combined with chemotherapy or targeted therapy for AML
This clinical trial tests a new menin-blocking drug called BN104 in combination with chemotherapy or other targeted drugs for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has certain genetic changes. It may be an option if your AML is newly diagnosed or if you've already tried a menin inhibitor and it didn't work well enough.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06747728Recruiting
Bevacizumab before surgery for new high-grade brain tumors
This trial tests whether giving bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood vessel growth) before surgery helps treat newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas. It may be an option for adults who have not had prior anti-angiogenic therapy.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT04890171Recruiting
Endoscopic removal vs surgery for early stomach cancer type
This trial compares two ways to treat early stomach cancer: removing it through an endoscope versus doing an operation. It’s meant for a specific stomach-cancer type (undifferentiated) that has not spread, to see which approach may be better.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–75 - NCT06746194Recruiting
PET scan to check treatment response in advanced liver cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see how well systemic therapy is working in people with advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. The goal is to find a better way to measure treatment effectiveness.

Study of VG161 for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new medicine called VG161 for people with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer) that has stopped responding to or could not be tolerated after at least one prior treatment. It is given by injection into the tumor, and the study wants to see if it can help shrink or control the cancer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT04214990RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin after early stomach precancer or early cancer removal
