This trial tests a new type of cell therapy called CAR-T cells that are designed to recognize and attack cancer cells in patients with multiple myeloma, plasmacytoma, plasma cell leukemia, or light chain amyloidosis that have not responded well to previous treatments. The goal is to see if this approach can help patients whose cancers have become resistant to standard medicines.
Chengdu, ChengduAges 18–75 - NCT07519837Recruiting
Understanding Cancer Wasting in Digestive Cancers
This study explores why certain cancers cause patients to lose weight and muscle (called cancer cachexia) and tests ways to reverse it. Researchers will study tissue samples from patients with cancers of the food pipe, liver, stomach, or bile ducts to understand what's happening at a cellular level.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07522905Recruiting
Virtual Movement Therapy for Kids With Leukemia in Remission
This study tests a fun virtual movement program where children who have finished leukemia treatment exercise together with a healthy friend online. The goal is to help improve their physical strength, coordination, and social skills after cancer treatment.
BratislavaAges 5–12 - NCT06756321RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed blood cancers
This study tests a new type of therapy called CAR T-cells for people with blood cancers that have returned or not responded to standard treatments. CAR T-cells are made from your own immune cells and are trained to find and kill cancer cells.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT06757153RecruitingEarly Phase 1
NRG-103 injection for recurrent glioblastoma patients
This trial tests an injection called NRG-103 given directly into the cavity where a recurrent brain tumor was removed. It is for people with glioblastoma that has come back and who have already had standard treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05054257RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T19 for hard-to-treat blood cancers that have CD19
This Phase 1 study tests CAR T cells designed to attack cancer cells that carry a marker called CD19. It’s for adults with certain relapsed or treatment-resistant B-cell leukemias (ALL) or lymphomas (NHL) where other treatments may not have worked.
PragueAges 18–80 - NCT06756334RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing Two PET/CT Scans for Prostate Cancer
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which one is better at finding prostate cancer, detecting if it has come back, or spotting spread to other parts of the body. You will get both scans so doctors can compare them directly.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–90 - NCT06760117RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-guided chemo for kids with relapsed solid tumors
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy drugs (irinotecan, temozolomide, and vincristine) for children whose solid tumors have come back or not responded to standard treatment. It aims to see if a specific gene test can help doctors choose the right dose of irinotecan to reduce side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Up to 18 years - NCT06480864Recruiting
Study of adebelimumab and apatinib for extensive stage small cell lung cancer maintenance
This trial tests whether adding two targeted therapies (adebelimumab, an immunotherapy, and apatinib, a drug that blocks blood vessel growth) after initial chemotherapy can help keep extensive stage small cell lung cancer under control. It is for people who have not yet had systemic treatment for their cancer and are in good enough health to try this maintenance approach.
