Bologna, BolognaAges 18–75 - NCT06813456Recruiting
Improving HER2 detection in breast cancer with new testing method
This trial studies a more precise way to measure HER2 levels in breast cancer tissue. It may help identify patients whose cancer is HER2-low or HER2-zero, so they can get more targeted treatment.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT05532059RecruitingPhase 2
Test lenvatinib, tislelizumab, and chemotherapy for bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of lenvatinib, an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab), and chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) for advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see whether this treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes, especially for people who have not yet had immunotherapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT06814444Recruiting
Immune system study in acute leukemia
This study is looking at blood and bone marrow samples from people with acute leukemia to understand how the immune system reacts to the disease and treatment. The goal is to find better ways to treat leukemia.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06813508Recruiting
Liver cancer and transplant study for MASLD patients
This study looks at factors that predict liver cancer and the need for a liver transplant in people with a liver condition called MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease). The goal is to better understand the disease and improve care.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT02972372Recruiting
Compare chemoradiation with surgery for esophageal cancer
This study compares two treatment approaches for certain locally advanced esophageal cancers: chemoradiation (chemo plus radiation) versus esophagus surgery. It may help find which option works better to control the cancer and improve outcomes.
Anyang, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06139042Recruiting
Early detection of liver, bile duct, and pancreas cancers
This study aims to find new ways to detect liver, bile duct, and pancreatic cancers early using a blood test. It may help doctors diagnose these cancers sooner, when they are easier to treat.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40–75 - NCT05200260RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery plus maintenance medicines for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial checks whether having surgery to remove as much tumor as possible, followed by ongoing targeted treatment, helps people with advanced ovarian (and related) cancers live longer and/or control cancer better. It specifically uses tumor-testing results to match patients and then continues treatment after surgery.
FoshanAges 18 years+ - NCT04475952Recruiting
Diagnosing upper digestive problems earlier during routine care
This study aims to learn how to detect problems in the upper digestive tract earlier. People may be asked to help with diagnosis while they are already undergoing routine tests or treatment, which could improve future care.
LondonAges 18–90 - NCT04057924Recruiting
Watchful waiting for certain abnormal cells in the cervix
This trial checks whether “therapy abstention” (not treating right away) and close monitoring is safe for certain high-grade cervical cell changes. It may help some people avoid immediate procedures while still catching any progression early.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05597345RecruitingPhase 2
Selinexor for higher-risk smoldering myeloma
This trial studies selinexor, a medicine taken by mouth, to slow or treat intermediate- or high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma before it becomes symptomatic. It may help some people reduce disease progression, based on how well the treatment controls the abnormal plasma cells.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06023212RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tranexamic acid to prevent bleeding in spine surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests if a medicine called tranexamic acid can help reduce bleeding during surgery for lung cancer that has spread to the spine. It may be an option if you have a single tumor in your spine and are having separation surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 10–80 - NCT05823311RecruitingPhase 3
Test lenvatinib and immunotherapy plus chemo for bile duct cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether a combination of lenvatinib, an immunotherapy medicine (tislelizumab), and chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) works better for advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery. It may help people live longer or control the cancer for longer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06123884RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
BAT1308 plus chemotherapy for PD-L1-positive cervical cancer
This clinical trial tests a new combination therapy (BAT1308 plus chemotherapy, with or without Avastin) for women with advanced cervical cancer that is PD-L1-positive and has not been previously treated with systemic therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
