Chemotherapy before surgery for advanced pseudomyxoma peritonei
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (capecitabine and cyclophosphamide) given before surgery for people with a large amount of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). The goal is to see if it can shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
MilanAges 18–76 - NCT06781450Recruiting
Study of immunotherapy for relapsed chest lymphoma
This study looks at how well two immunotherapy medicines—pembrolizumab alone or nivolumab combined with brentuximab vedotin—work for people with a type of lymphoma in the chest that has come back or not responded to treatment. It uses real-world data from patients who received these treatments outside of a clinical trial.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06764459Recruiting
Study of FLT3 gene changes in AML patients
This trial looks at people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have a change in a gene called FLT3. It aims to understand how this change affects the disease and how well treatments work.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06789679RecruitingPhase 2
Adding S-1 to standard chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding a third drug (S-1, a chemotherapy pill) to the standard two-drug IV chemo (albumin-bound paclitaxel and gemcitabine) can help people with advanced pancreatic cancer live longer. It's for those who haven't had treatment yet for their advanced cancer.
Beijing, Chaoyang DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT06801730RecruitingPhase 2
Irinotecan liposomes plus bevacizumab for recurrent glioma
This trial tests a combination of two medications—irinotecan liposomes (a chemotherapy drug wrapped in fat particles) and bevacizumab (a drug that cuts off blood supply to tumors)—for people whose glioma (a type of brain tumor) has come back or worsened after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the tumor.
Lishui, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06796166Recruiting
AI-supported education for women having mastectomy
This study tests if education supported by artificial intelligence (AI) helps women recover better after breast removal surgery. If you're having a mastectomy, you may be able to join.
Istanbul, BakirköyAges 18 years+ - NCT06801977Recruiting
Chinese lung cancer study for a rare type
This study is collecting information from people with a rare lung cancer called pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (a type of lung tumor that looks like certain head and neck cancers). It aims to learn more about the disease and how to better treat it.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06800768Recruiting
PET scan for finding thyroid cancer that has returned after surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see if it can better find thyroid cancer that has come back or spread after surgery. It may help your doctor decide on the best next steps for your care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06800469Recruiting
Gut bacteria study in pancreatic cancer surgery patients
