This trial studies treatment for children and teens with certain B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas using a specific treatment protocol. It may help doctors confirm how well the regimen works in young patients and improve care over time.
Moscow, RFAges 1 day–18 years - NCT04875585RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant and post-surgery immunotherapy for operable lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of medicines given before surgery and immunotherapy after surgery for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It aims to shrink the tumor before the operation and reduce the risk of cancer coming back after surgery.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT04699292Recruiting
Registry study for local treatment in soft tissue sarcoma
This registry collects coded information about adults with a specific soft tissue sarcoma (MLS) to better understand how local treatments help. If you qualify, you don’t necessarily receive a new drug in this study—your data is used to improve future care.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04442412RecruitingPhase 3
Prednisone and vitamin D before chemo for certain lymphomas
This Phase 3 study tests whether a short “pre-treatment” with prednisone, with or without vitamin D, can improve outcomes when followed by standard lymphoma chemo. It aims to see if adding vitamin D early can help older adults tolerate or benefit from treatment for specific lymphoma types.
Brescia, BSAges 65 years+ - NCT05514275RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus endostatin and capecitabine for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding endostatin and capecitabine to standard radiation can improve outcomes for people with non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal cancer that has not responded well to chemotherapy. It may help those with stable or worsening disease after treatment before moving to radiation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT04996121RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug for tumors with NTRK or ROS1 gene fusions
This trial studies an investigational pill (XZP-5955) for solid tumors that have specific gene changes: NTRK or ROS1 fusions. It is meant for people whose cancer is advanced or has spread, and who may not have good standard treatment options.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05528055RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of SCR-6920 for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests whether SCR-6920 capsules are safe and tolerable in people with advanced, treatment-resistant cancers. It may help doctors learn the right way to dose the medicine and check for side effects.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT05527795Recruiting
Study features that predict benefit from extra immunotherapy in melanoma
This study looks for lab and tumor features that may help predict who benefits from follow-up (adjuvant) immunotherapy after surgery for melanoma. Your past treatment and tumor samples may be used to improve future treatment decisions.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18 years+ - NCT05529615Recruiting
Blood DNA test guides chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery
This trial checks a blood test called circulating tumor DNA to help choose the best time and approach for chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery. It aims to reduce recurrence by identifying people who may benefit from treatment based on changes seen in the blood.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05276037Recruiting
PET/CT scan to guide liver transplant decisions in liver cancer
This trial studies how a whole-body PET/CT scan using a “tracer” called 18F-FDG can help decide which people with liver cancer (HCC) may benefit from a liver transplant. It may help the transplant team better sort out who is likely to do well after transplant.
AntwerpAges 18–80 - NCT05334277RecruitingPhase 2
Test furmonertinib for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies furmonertinib alone or with other treatment options to control advanced lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It may help by targeting the cancer-driving EGFR mutation, especially in people whose mutation is confirmed by a ctDNA blood test.
ChangchunAges 18 years+ - NCT04389086RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for recurring rectal cancer
This trial tests an “induction chemotherapy” treatment before surgery for people whose rectal cancer has come back in the local area. The goal is to shrink/control the cancer early and improve outcomes after treatment.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT05524090Recruiting
Program to prepare for surgery in locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies an “implementation program” to help patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer get ready for the next steps after chemotherapy. It may help improve care planning and outcomes for people whose cancer has not grown after initial treatment.
