Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 60 years - NCT04103567Recruiting
Testing stool and bacteria clues for poor rectal cancer response
This study looks at stool samples to see whether gut bacteria or other microbes help explain why some rectal cancers respond less well to treatment given before surgery. If you have mid or lower rectal cancer and are planning pre-surgery treatment, your information and stool sample may help researchers improve how treatment is chosen.

VB15010 for advanced solid tumors with HRR gene mutation
This trial tests an oral medication (VB15010) in people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific DNA repair gene mutation (called HRR mutation). The goal is to see if the drug can stop or slow down cancer growth.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT03449264Recruiting
Database study for people with certain new cancers
This study builds a clinical and biological database for people newly diagnosed with certain cancers. It may help doctors better understand cancer patterns and improve future care, and it involves agreeing to extra blood samples.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT03976999Recruiting
Database study for ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancers
This is a study that collects information and samples from people diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. It helps doctors better understand these cancers by building a clinical and biological database, which may improve care planning in the future.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT03410394Recruiting
Registry for endocrine tumor surgery patients in Nancy
This study is a “registry,” meaning researchers collect health information from people who have surgery for certain hormone-related tumors. It may help doctors better understand outcomes and improve future care for endocrine tumors.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges Any age - NCT03976960Recruiting
Database study for colon cancer surgery patients
This study collects clinical and lab information from people who have surgery for colon cancer (or certain precancer growths) and related spread to organs. It may help researchers better understand colon cancer and improve future care, but it is not a new medication trial.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT03978078Recruiting
Database study for metastatic GI cancer care
This study collects clinical and lab information to better understand metastatic cancers of the digestive system and how patients respond to treatment. It may help improve future care, but it is mainly focused on collecting data rather than testing a new drug.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT04221464Recruiting
Building a database for peritoneal cancer care
This study collects medical information and small tissue or fluid samples from people with peritoneal (abdominal lining) cancer. It aims to better understand the disease and improve future care plans.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT04458792Recruiting
Builds a cancer blood-and-biomarker database after sarcoma treatment
This study collects information and blood samples from adults with sarcoma who had surgery and possibly radiation. The goal is to build a large dataset that helps researchers understand sarcoma better and improve future care.
Montpellier, HeraultAges 18 years+ - NCT04224064Recruiting
Blood test to help diagnose and predict liposarcoma
This study looks for a new blood test marker that may help doctors diagnose liposarcoma and estimate how it may behave over time. You may be asked for a blood sample and consent, and the study may follow you to see how well the test works.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT04282356RecruitingPhase 2
Test of strong chemotherapy delivered inside the abdomen
This Phase 2 trial tests an intensive treatment for advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It combines planned surgery to remove visible tumor with chemotherapy that is put directly inside the abdomen during the operation, aiming to control the cancer more effectively.
MontpellierAges 18–75 - NCT04136132Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer patient database for research
This study collects medical and lab information from adults with pancreatic cancer to help researchers understand care and outcomes. You may be asked for follow-up visits and basic data, and it may be used to improve future treatments.
Montpellier, OccAges 18 years+ - NCT04282122Recruiting
Personalized radiation plan for older women with early breast cancer
This trial uses individual measures of how sensitive your body’s tissues are to radiation to guide after-surgery breast radiation treatment. It aims to keep treatment safe and effective while tailoring the plan to each person.
Montpellier, OccAges 65 years+ - NCT04356209RecruitingPhase 2
Pravastatin for severe radiation breast scar tissue, with e-reports
This trial tests whether pravastatin can improve severe radiation-related breast scarring and breast-related quality of life. It also studies whether using an electronic patient questionnaire (e-PRO) helps patients’ outcomes and support during treatment.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06337942Recruiting
Bladder or kidney-bladder transplant from a deceased donor
This trial offers a first-in-human transplant of a bladder or a kidney combined with a bladder from a deceased donor. It is for people with severe bladder problems or bladder cancer who already need a new bladder or are on immune-suppressing medicines for a prior organ transplant.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT04516720Recruiting
Build a database of brain and spinal cord tumor cases

Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT05189496Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen to help prevent radiation-related lung injury
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen) can prevent lung inflammation caused by breast cancer radiation. It may help reduce the risk of radiation pneumonitis in certain breast cancer survivors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06084195Recruiting
Study of ovarian cancer using advanced imaging
This trial uses a special imaging technique to study high-grade serous ovarian cancer. It aims to better understand the tumor to improve treatment. If you have advanced ovarian cancer and are scheduled for surgery, you may be eligible.
