HER2 medicines before surgery for resectable esophageal cancer
This trial tests two targeted medicines, trastuzumab and pertuzumab (HER2-blocking drugs), given before surgery for HER2-positive esophageal or stomach-esophagus junction cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve how well surgery works and outcomes after treatment.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04973306RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery versus chemo-radiation
This trial compares adding immunotherapy to standard chemo-radiation before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve how well the tumor responds and whether patients do better after surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05352321Recruiting
Surgery plus targeted chemoradiation versus standard chemoradiation
This trial compares two treatment plans for newly diagnosed, operable nasopharyngeal cancer: adding surgery plus targeted chemoradiation versus standard chemoradiation alone. It aims to see whether the surgery-based plan improves control of the cancer and related outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05420467RecruitingPhase 4
Trial of add-on breast cancer treatment after surgery
This Phase 4 study tests an additional (adjuvant) treatment for breast cancer after surgery and standard follow-up care. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, but you must match specific tumor and body-chemistry requirements to join.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05366478RecruitingPhase 1
LM103 for advanced solid tumors using donated immune cells
This Phase 1 study tests LM103 to treat advanced cancers that are not responding to standard treatment. It also looks at whether enough tumor tissue can be collected for immune cell testing, and focuses on safety at first.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT05445154RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New treatment for newly diagnosed FLT3 AML with oral drugs
This Phase 1/2 study tests SKLB1028 (with daunorubicin and cytarabine) in people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have an FLT3 mutation. It aims to see how well and how safely this treatment works for this specific type of AML.
ChengduAges 18–59 - NCT05447169Recruiting
Testing blood and DNA checks for nasopharyngeal cancer risk
This study tests an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) blood antibody and an EBV DNA test to help screen people at higher risk for nasopharyngeal cancer. It may find signs earlier in certain families where cancer runs.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 30–62 - NCT05392413Recruiting
Predicting who benefits from PD-1 antibody for esophageal cancer
This study uses an “immune indicator model” to help predict how well a PD-1 antibody (a cancer-fighting immune drug) works when combined with chemotherapy for stage IV esophageal squamous cell cancer. If you qualify, you receive the treatment and the researchers also look for immune-related signs that may explain who benefits most.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT05227534Recruiting
Test for early cancer signals in people without symptoms
This trial checks whether a blood test can detect early signs of multiple cancers in people who feel well. It may help find cancer earlier, when treatment is more likely to work.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 40–75 - NCT05445011RecruitingPhase 1
FLT3-targeted CAR-T for relapsed or resistant AML
This trial tests an engineered immune cell treatment (CAR-T) made to target FLT3, for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or did not respond to standard treatment. It aims to control the leukemia when options have been limited.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT05003635Recruiting
Testing a vacuum device to improve breast fat reconstruction
This trial tests whether an external vacuum device (EVEBRA) can help surgeons place fat grafts more effectively during breast reconstruction. You may be able to try the device in an office visit and, if you qualify, receive reconstruction using only your own fat.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 23–69 - NCT05415631Recruiting
AI helps detect bladder tumors during bladder exam
This study tests an artificial-intelligence (AI) system during real-time bladder evaluation to better spot bladder tumors. It may help your care team find tumors more accurately during diagnosis or follow-up.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05023564Recruiting
Dementia care study following people with a steady caregiver
This study follows people diagnosed with dementia over time, with the help of a consistent caregiver, to better understand how dementia changes. It may help by adding new information that could improve future care and planning for families.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05305092Recruiting
Study of memory and thinking in early breast cancer
This study checks how breast cancer affects memory and thinking before other treatments start. It may help doctors better understand cognitive changes and who is most at risk.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges Any age - NCT05455918RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo with paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin for high-risk germ cell tumors
This Phase 2 trial tests a specific chemotherapy combination (paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin) for children and teens with newly diagnosed, high-risk germ cell tumors. It aims to improve outcomes by treating cancer cells with a stronger chemo plan.
SeoulAges 1–20 - NCT05320588RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early test of a cancer treatment for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a new treatment in people with advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) solid tumors that have worsened or cannot be treated with standard therapies. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth, and it also helps doctors learn the safest way to use the medicine.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05467189Recruiting
Testing anti-cancer drugs in people age 65 and older
This study looks at how anti-cancer (chemotherapy) drugs are used in adults age 65+ who have cancer. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best and are safest for older adults.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65–100 - NCT05248763Recruiting
Cancer Moonshot program for specific cancer types
This study is for people with certain cancers: lung, breast, gastric (stomach), pancreatic, or ovarian. It aims to test a Moonshot-style approach to improve cancer care for these groups.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05466565Recruiting
Peginterferon antiviral treatment after liver cancer surgery
This trial studies an antiviral medicine given after surgery for liver cancer to help prevent the cancer from coming back. It focuses on people who are hepatitis B–positive (HBsAg positive) and have complete remission on follow-up checks.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–65 - NCT05469022RecruitingPhase 2
Lazertinib before lung surgery for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking lazertinib before surgery can shrink or control EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma that can be fully removed by an operation. It uses a special liquid biopsy from fluid in the lungs to confirm the EGFR mutation and guide treatment.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04520074RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo after surgery for BRCA1/2 wild-type ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies a three-step “extra” chemotherapy plan after surgery for people with certain advanced ovarian, fallopian-tube, or primary peritoneal cancers. The goal is to improve outcomes by lowering the chance the cancer comes back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05479825Recruiting
Lung surgery planning without a tube, using X-ray guidance
This trial looks at a new way to plan a minimally invasive lung segment removal (“segmentectomy”) using live X-ray guidance, without using a chest tube (“tubeless”). It may help patients with certain small lung lesions (sometimes early lung cancer) get the surgery more precisely.
Jinan, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18–85 - NCT04270591RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Glumetinib for lung cancer with MET changes
This trial tests how well glumetinib works for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific “MET” gene changes. It also checks safety and side effects, especially in people who can’t have surgery or have already had other treatments.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT05300269RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug SHR-1701 with chemo and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding SHR-1701 to standard chemotherapy and long-course radiation can improve treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery. It’s mainly for people who have not had prior rectal cancer treatment and who fit several health and cancer-spread requirements.
