Ultrasound to monitor sarcoma response to radiation
This trial uses contrast-enhanced ultrasound to see how well soft tissue sarcoma responds to radiation therapy given before surgery. The goal is to find out if this imaging method can help doctors assess treatment effects earlier.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07441499Recruiting
Detecting bladder cancer recurrence with a blood test
This study uses a blood test to find and monitor urothelial cancer (a type of bladder cancer) and to watch for signs it may come back. It may help patients and doctors make better decisions about follow-up care.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07441733Recruiting
Using a green dye to map lymph nodes in breast cancer surgery
This trial tests if an injection of indocyanine green dye can help surgeons find and remove only the key lymph nodes in the armpit during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal.
Peschiera del Garda, VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT07439471Recruiting
Study on tobacco and cannabis co-use in young adults
This study looks at why and how young adults use both tobacco and cannabis together. It may help understand patterns of use and improve future health programs.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–30 - NCT07438106RecruitingPhase 2
HRS-4642 with chemo to shrink pancreatic cancer before surgery
This trial tests a new drug, HRS-4642, combined with a two-drug chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that has not spread. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough so it can be surgically removed.
NanjingAges 18–75 - NCT07444632RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-modified cord blood cells for advanced blood cancers
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy using cord blood cells that are grown to attack cancer cells. It is for people with certain blood cancers (lymphoma or acute lymphoblastic leukemia) that have come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07439458Recruiting
Exercise effects on tumor cells in breast cancer survivors
This trial tests whether different types and intensities of exercise can change tumor-related cells in survivors of triple-negative breast cancer. It may help understand how exercise could improve long-term outcomes.
Riga, Dzirciema Street 16Ages 35 years+ - NCT07441369Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Abemaciclib with chemotherapy for advanced colorectal liver metastases
This trial tests combining the targeted drug abemaciclib with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and cannot be removed surgically. It may be an option if you've already tried two or three prior treatments without success.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05033392RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 therapy plus chemotherapy before stomach cancer surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a PD-1 antibody (JS001/toripalimab) to chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. It aims to help shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–79 - NCT06082492Recruiting
PET/CT scans for follow-up of stage III lung cancer
This trial is testing whether adding a PET/CT scan to routine follow-up care helps patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this extra imaging can detect any return of cancer earlier, which may help with treatment decisions.
Hilversum, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06489665Recruiting
Testing a clearer mammogram for breast imaging
This study tests a new type of mammogram that might give clearer pictures of breast tissue. It is for women who are either scheduled for breast surgery or getting a regular mammogram.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06808412RecruitingPhase 2
Sintilimab plus bevacizumab for untreated rectal cancer
This trial tests two drugs—sintilimab (an immunotherapy) and bevacizumab (a targeted therapy)—for people with rectal cancer that hasn't been treated yet. It aims to see if this combination can shrink the tumor before surgery.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT04066465Recruiting
Testing how proton therapy affects thinking in young people
This study looks at how proton radiation therapy may affect thinking, learning, and brain function in children and teens with a primary brain tumor. It uses repeated short brain/learning tests to track possible changes over time.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 8–18 - NCT06793904Recruiting
Comparing two ways to measure insulin resistance in PCOS
This study compares two methods (HOMA1-IR and HOMA2-IR) of measuring insulin resistance to see which one better predicts whether women with PCOS will ovulate after treatment. It aims to find a simple blood test that could help guide fertility treatment.
CairoAges 18–35 - NCT04762641RecruitingPhase 1
First-dose safety study of ABL503 for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and side effects of ABL503 and finds the best dose to study next. It is for people with advanced cancer that is growing despite prior treatment options.

Using AI to find cancer origin from lymph node biopsy
This study uses computer intelligence (deep learning) to analyze cells from a lymph node biopsy to find where in the body a cancer might have started. It looks at past patient data and images to train a program that could help doctors in the future.
Chengdu, SichuanAges Any age - NCT04992728Recruiting
Testing a special prostate MRI to match cancer maps
This study uses a special kind of MRI to better “map” prostate cancer inside the prostate. Researchers compare the MRI results with the detailed tissue exam after prostate surgery to see how accurate the imaging is.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04886401Recruiting
Study predicting response to pembrolizumab in advanced lung cancer
This study looks back at prior treatment to learn which patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are more likely to respond to pembrolizumab, an immune therapy given up front. The results may help doctors better predict who benefits from this treatment.
BrestAges Any age - NCT03730922Recruiting
Delayed vs immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy and radiation
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast after mastectomy followed by radiation: a reconstruction done later (delayed) versus one done sooner (delayed-immediate). The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for recovery after treatment.
