Registry for pancreatic cancer patients getting a specific ablation
This is a research registry that collects information from adults with pancreatic cancer who are treated with an ablation procedure called irreversible electroporation (IRE). It may help doctors better understand which patients benefit from this approach and how the treatment is used in real life.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04776330RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BCMA-targeted CAR-T for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
This trial tests a lab-made immune cell therapy (CAR-T) designed to attack a protein called BCMA on myeloma cells. It’s for adults whose multiple myeloma or related plasma cell disease has come back or didn’t respond to prior treatment, aiming to improve cancer control.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT04781634RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CD19 and CD22 targeted CAR-T for hard-to-treat B-ALL
This Phase 1/2 study tests a type of immune therapy (CAR-T cells) made to recognize CD19 and CD22, two markers on B-ALL cells. It is for children and adults with B-ALL that has come back or did not respond to standard treatments, aiming to improve outcomes when other options have failed.
Kunming, YunnanAges 2–75 - NCT05477979Recruiting
Study how stress affects lung cancer treatment outcomes
This study looks at whether psychological stress changes how well lung cancer treatments work and what the outlook is. You may qualify if you’re about to start (or recently started) certain immunotherapy-based treatments, and you can complete stress and well-being questionnaires.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06713421Recruiting
Pronase to improve stomach cleanliness during endoscopy
This study tests whether a medicine called pronase, taken before an upper endoscopy (a scope test to look at your stomach), helps keep the stomach lining cleaner so the doctor can see better. If you are having a routine upper endoscopy, this might help make the exam more accurate.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT06494943RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of IBI110 and Sintilimab with Chemo for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (IBI110 and sintilimab) with chemotherapy before surgery for people with advanced head and neck cancer that can be removed surgically. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06299462RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Preventing GVHD with PTCy and ATG in stem cell transplant
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (PTCy and ATG) to prevent graft-versus-host disease after a stem cell transplant from a matched donor. It is for adults with certain blood cancers who are between 18 and 60 and have a suitable donor.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–60 - NCT06743945RecruitingPhase 2
Study of polatuzumab, rituximab, CHP for transformed DLBCL
This trial tests a combination of drugs (POLA-R-CHP) as a first treatment for patients whose large B-cell lymphoma has changed from a slower-growing type. It aims to see if this therapy is effective and safe for newly diagnosed patients.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07370714Recruiting
Study on wound healing after pilonidal sinus surgery
This study looks at factors that may affect wound healing after surgery for pilonidal sinus disease. It aims to help doctors and patients understand what might cause the wound to open up, so they can take steps to prevent it.
