Combination targeted drug and immunotherapy for recurrent gynecologic cancers
This trial tests a combination of two new drugs—becotatug vedotin (targeted therapy) and zimberelimab (immunotherapy)—in people with recurrent or metastatic cervical, vulvar, or vaginal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination works after standard treatments like platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy have been tried.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07418125Recruiting
Study of tumor cell clusters in high-risk early breast cancer
This trial looks at whether clusters of tumor cells in the blood can give more information about high-risk early breast cancer. It is for people with certain types of breast cancer who are about to start treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy).
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT05984511Recruiting
Combined treatment for liver cancer with portal vein tumor thrombus
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy (atezolizumab/bevacizumab) and a type of internal radiation (I-125 seeds) to standard chemoembolization (TACE) can help people with liver cancer that has spread into the main liver blood vessel (portal vein). It aims to control the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT05520788Recruiting
Genetic test-guided treatment for advanced bile and liver cancers
This study looks at using a genetic test (next-generation sequencing) to find cancer gene changes in stage IV hepatobiliary cancer. If there is a matching approved medicine, the study follows how well the “right drug for the right mutation” helps patients receiving palliative care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05745350RecruitingPhase 2
First treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial studies how well pembrolizumab, plinabulin, and etoposide plus platinum work as first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It may help some people by boosting the immune response while also attacking cancer with standard chemotherapy.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05557578RecruitingPhase 2
New drug before surgery for resectable bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a “neoadjuvant” (before-surgery) treatment for resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver) that has higher risk of coming back. It aims to shrink or control the cancer before the operation, and to see if patients can safely undergo surgery afterward.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05737303RecruitingPhase 3
First-line chemotherapy comparison for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two chemotherapy drug approaches (nab-paclitaxel vs another taxane drug) as the first treatment for advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. It aims to find which option works better and is tolerated better in people with stage III–IV disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06470217RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tirilizumab plus chemo for advanced oral cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (tirilizumab) and two chemotherapy drugs (albumin-bound paclitaxel and cisplatin) for people with advanced but removable oral cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor before surgery and improves outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05920863RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib, immunotherapy, plus liver artery treatment before surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving lenvatinib and immunotherapy along with TACE (a liver artery treatment) before surgery can lower the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma coming back after surgery. It targets people with certain higher-risk early-stage liver tumors (CNLC IB/IIA).
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05737953Recruiting
Testing a lab test to identify pancreatic cyst tumor type
This study builds a “molecular marker” lab model using pancreatic cyst fluid taken during planned pancreatic surgery. It aims to help tell which pancreatic cystic tumors are which, based on fluid analysis.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06196203RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AK117 with Azacitidine for High-Risk MDS
This trial tests a new drug, AK117, combined with azacitidine for people newly diagnosed with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a blood disorder. The goal is to see if the combination can help improve outcomes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06069115Recruiting
How radiation affects lung function in breast cancer patients
This study looks at how radiation therapy for breast cancer may affect your lungs over time. Researchers will measure lung function and see if problems develop, so they can better understand and protect patients.
Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT06613009RecruitingPhase 1
New Drug IBI3009 for Advanced Small Cell Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new drug called IBI3009 for people with advanced small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see how safe the drug is and how well it works against the cancer.

Immunotherapy plus radiation before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests combining two treatments—an immunotherapy drug (Toripalimab) and radiation—before surgery for a certain type of breast cancer (HR+, HER2-negative) that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor more than standard therapy alone.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT06737588Recruiting
Better MRI scanning for prostate cancer detection
This study tests if a special MRI measurement (ADC) can improve how well a standard MRI finds prostate cancer. If you have a suspicious MRI and are scheduled for a biopsy, this might help better understand your results.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06783127Recruiting
