This trial tests a minimally invasive heat treatment (thermal ablation) guided by ultrasound for small papillary thyroid cancers. It may be an option for patients who want to avoid surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06729762Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided heat treatment for benign thyroid nodules
This study tests a treatment that uses ultrasound and heat (radiofrequency or microwave) to shrink benign thyroid nodules. It's for people who have a non-cancerous nodule that causes symptoms or worry, and who can't or don't want surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06826885Recruiting

This trial is testing how well two different radiation techniques, IMPT and IMRT, work for treating breast cancer. It aims to see which one is safer and more effective, so you might benefit from a potentially better treatment approach.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06827353Recruiting
Comparing two maintenance drugs for ovarian cancer without DNA repair defects
This study compares two maintenance drugs (niraparib vs. bevacizumab) for people with advanced ovarian cancer who do not have certain DNA repair issues (BRCA mutation or HRD). It aims to see which drug works better to keep cancer from coming back.
Nîmes, OccitanieAges 18 years+ - NCT03417336Recruiting
Radiation for prostate cancer using smaller, targeted doses
This trial studies a specific radiation schedule for prostate cancer (with an extra “boost” dose) and checks whether it works well and is tolerable. It may help people with higher-risk, localized prostate cancer by aiming at the cancer while limiting side effects to surrounding tissues.
DijonAges 18–85 - NCT03599843Recruiting
Exercise program for cancer survivors in Halifax
This trial tests whether a supervised, gentle exercise program over 12 weeks can help cancer survivors. You may be eligible if you are currently in cancer treatment, just finished within the past 5 years, or still have lingering side effects.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05870995RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus targeted conditioning for hard-to-treat AML
This trial studies a specific chemotherapy plan (called sequential CLAG-Ven) with a gentler “conditioning” treatment before a transplant or donor-based therapy. It may help people with refractory or quickly relapsing acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have a suitable family or matched donor and can meet certain organ function and infection rules.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 16–65 - NCT05783908Recruiting
Self-guided breathing help during MRI-guided radiotherapy for moving tumors
This study tests whether a self-guidance approach for breathing can improve radiotherapy sessions when the tumor moves during breathing and is treated with an MRI-guided machine. It may help make treatments more accurate and easier to follow during each session.
Dijon, Côte d'OrAges 1.5 years+ - NCT05701150Recruiting
Connects advanced solid-tumor patients to tumor gene data
This trial builds a large database using your existing tumor genetic test results (DNA and/or RNA). It may help researchers better understand advanced cancers and use gene patterns to guide future care.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06282445RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for first-line metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug adebrelimab to standard chemotherapy plus bevacizumab can help people with a specific type of metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It is for patients whose tumors are microsatellite stable (MSS) or have normal mismatch repair (pMMR).
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06272864Recruiting
A study looking at genetics of certain advanced cancers
This study tests the genes of your cancer to learn more about advanced breast, lung, melanoma, or sarcoma tumors. It may help doctors find better ways to treat these cancers in the future.
Rogers, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06318507Recruiting
Gut Bacteria and Immunotherapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut might affect the way your body responds to immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. It focuses on women who are overweight or obese and are about to start treatment with pembrolizumab before surgery.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06361329RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing new drug combo to standard chemo for ETP-ALL
This trial compares a new combination of drugs (venetoclax plus chemotherapy) to standard chemotherapy for people newly diagnosed with a rare type of T-cell leukemia called ETP-ALL. The goal is to see if the new regimen works better.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 14–75 - NCT06458894Recruiting
Home pre-surgery rehab for lung surgery patients
This trial tests a home-based pre-habilitation program using the internet for people who are 60 or older and planning lung surgery. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients prepare for surgery and recover better.
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 60–99 - NCT06373211RecruitingPhase 2
Early immunotherapy for nerve damage linked to anti-Hu antibodies
This trial tests whether a combination of three immune-suppressing drugs (IVIg, cyclophosphamide, and methylprednisolone) given early can improve balance and sensation in people with a rare nerve condition caused by anti-Hu antibodies. The goal is to stop or slow the nerve damage before it gets worse.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06456515Recruiting
Regorafenib, sintilimab, and electroacupuncture for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (regorafenib and sintilimab) plus electroacupuncture for people with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
ChangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06492083Recruiting
Hot pack treatment for nerve pain from chemo
This study tests if a traditional Chinese medicine hot pack can help reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy drugs like platinum and paclitaxel. It also looks at how to best care for patients during this treatment.

Shorter radiation schedule after mastectomy with implant reconstruction
This trial is testing a shorter, higher-dose radiation schedule (hypofractionation) for women who have had a mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction with implants. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as standard radiation while possibly being more convenient and causing fewer side effects.
