Chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, radiation, and an immunotherapy drug before surgery for people with high-risk locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
WuhanAges 18–75 - NCT07475026RecruitingPhase 3
Combination therapy before surgery for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs (tislelizumab and lenvatinib) given before surgery can lower the risk of liver cancer coming back in people with early-stage but high-risk disease.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT07477158Recruiting
Comparing two lung cancer surgeries for recovery and quality of life
This study compares two types of lung cancer surgery—removing just the tumor section (segmentectomy) or the whole lobe (lobectomy)—done through small cuts (minimally invasive). The goal is to see which approach leads to better daily living and recovery for early-stage lung cancer patients.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07479927Recruiting
Online brain training and mindfulness for kids after leukemia treatment
This study tests if a computer-based training program focusing on thinking skills and mindfulness can help children and teens who have had leukemia treatment. It may help improve memory, attention, and emotional well-being.
Madrid, MadridAges 8–18 - NCT07478848RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation, Vancomycin, and CAR-T for B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests whether giving radiation and an oral antibiotic (vancomycin) before CAR-T therapy helps treat B-cell lymphoma more effectively. It is for people who are already scheduled to receive CAR-T treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07479446Recruiting
Comparing two painkillers for nausea after brain surgery
This trial tests if a newer painkiller (oliceridine) causes less nausea after a specific type of brain surgery than the standard painkiller (sufentanil). If you are having CPA region surgery and will receive a patient-controlled pain pump, this study may help find a better option for managing pain with fewer side effects.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT07479732RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Apatinib with chemo for advanced osteosarcoma
This study tests whether the combination of two drugs, apatinib (a targeted therapy) and liposomal irinotecan (a chemotherapy), can help people with osteosarcoma that has not responded to standard treatments or has spread. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
BeijingAges 12–65 - NCT07474090Recruiting
Personalized Exercise Program for Breast Cancer Survivors
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program during chemotherapy helps breast cancer survivors recover better and feel stronger. You'll use a smartphone app to do guided workouts at home while getting support from exercise coaches.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18–85 - NCT07476794RecruitingPhase 2
Daily temozolomide for elderly patients with newly diagnosed brain cancer
This trial tests a daily chemo drug (temozolomide) in patients aged 65 or older with a specific type of aggressive brain cancer that has a certain genetic marker. It aims to see if this daily schedule works well after initial radiation and chemo.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT07478185Recruiting
Prehab before pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests a pre-surgery exercise program (prehab) for people with pancreatic cancer who plan to have chemotherapy first. The goal is to see if getting stronger before surgery helps with recovery.
Worester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07475780Recruiting
Radiofrequency ablation for recurrent parathyroid cancer
This study tests radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment) for parathyroid cancer that has returned after surgery. It's for people who cannot or choose not to have more surgery, and the tumor can be reached with a needle through the skin.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07480005Recruiting
Staging laparoscopy for liver, pancreas, and bile duct cancers
This trial is checking how well a minimally invasive surgery (staging laparoscopy) detects the spread of liver, pancreas, or bile duct cancers before a bigger surgery. It may help doctors decide if a full operation is the right next step.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT07477457RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drugs plus chemo for advanced osteosarcoma
This trial combines four targeted drugs (gefitinib, trametinib, disulfiram, sunitinib) with standard chemotherapy to treat osteosarcoma that has spread or come back. The goal is to see if this drug mix helps shrink tumors or keep them from growing.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 6–49 - NCT07478172Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation exercise for neuromuscular disease
This study tests whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (using small electrodes on the skin) can help adults with certain neuromuscular diseases exercise and improve muscle strength. It may be an option if you can stand for about 15 minutes at a time and have some muscle strength left.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07477626RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation therapy after prostate surgery for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether radiation therapy to the pelvis after prostate removal helps men whose cancer was found in nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to prevent cancer from coming back and improve survival.
Dongguan, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07479979RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of selinexor with carfilzomib, isatuximab and dexamethasone for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (selinexor, carfilzomib, isatuximab, and dexamethasone) in patients whose multiple myeloma has come back or stopped responding to prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the cancer and help patients whose disease has high-risk features, like certain chromosome changes.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07476781Recruiting
Liquid biopsy study for solid tumours and brain tumours
This study collects samples of spinal fluid and blood from people with solid tumours that have spread to the brain or spine, or who have primary brain tumours. The goal is see if these samples can help doctors detect and monitor these cancers more easily.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07479199Recruiting
Radiofrequency ablation and radiation for painful spine tumors
This trial tests a treatment that uses heat (radiofrequency ablation) and radiation to relieve pain from tumors in the spine. It may help if you have cancer that has spread to your upper or lower back and you have moderate to severe pain.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07475403RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy guided by urine DNA for high risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy approach for people with a very high risk type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle layer. The treatment is guided by a special urine test that looks for tumor DNA, and it may help if surgery cannot remove all the cancer or you choose not to have your bladder removed.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07478731RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced rectal cancer before surgery
This trial tests a new drug called SHR-1701 combined with standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor before surgery, making it easier to remove completely.

Study of two drugs for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests two new drugs, JS212 and JS213, alone or together, for people with certain advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07477886Recruiting
Using room sensors to spot early warnings for hospitalized cancer patients
This study uses special sensors in patient rooms to monitor movement and other signals that might show early signs of medical problems. The goal is to see if these sensors can help doctors and nurses step in sooner for cancer patients in the hospital.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07478289RecruitingPhase 2
