Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT07357571Recruiting
Can ultrasound help predict lymph node spread in early thyroid cancer?
This trial uses contrast-enhanced ultrasound before surgery to see if it can predict whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes in patients with early-stage papillary thyroid cancer. The goal is to improve treatment planning without unnecessary surgery.
Guangdong, GuangzhouAges Any age - NCT07359417RecruitingPhase 1
MR-guided radiation boost for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation to the main tumor, guided by MRI scans, can improve treatment for a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. You would first receive standard chemoradiation followed by surgery.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07358208Enrolling by invitation
Pancreas cancer family registry study
This study is building a registry of people with a strong family history of pancreatic cancer. By joining, you help researchers learn more about who is at risk and how to detect it early.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07353671RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cockroach extract liquid for radiation skin damage
This trial tests a liquid made from cockroach extract (Meilian Fuxin) to prevent or treat skin damage from radiation therapy in people with head and neck cancer. It aims to see if this topical treatment can reduce radiation dermatitis compared to standard care.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07358182Recruiting
Trastuzumab-rezetecan for breast cancer with HER2 protein
This trial tests a new drug, Trastuzumab-rezetecan, in people with breast cancer that has a certain amount of a protein called HER2. It aims to see if the drug works and is safe for patients who are able to receive it before or after surgery, or for those whose cancer has spread and has been treated before.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07359404Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Sacituzumab Govitecan plus Bevacizumab for metastatic TNBC
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, Sacituzumab Govitecan and Bevacizumab, for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has already been treated. The goal is to see if the combination works better than standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06849180Recruiting
Personalized Treatment for Advanced Combined Liver Cancer
This study is for people with a rare and advanced liver cancer called combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma (CHC). Doctors will use information from your tumor and health history to find the best treatment approach for your specific cancer type.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06848582Recruiting
NK cell therapy for high-risk pediatric soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests whether giving immune cells called NK cells from donated umbilical cord blood can help children and teens with high-risk or returning soft tissue sarcoma. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective when other treatments have been tried.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Up to 18 years - NCT06848569RecruitingPhase 2
Sintilimab plus chemotherapy for pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug sintilimab with chemotherapy (AVD) for children and teens with newly diagnosed low- or intermediate-risk Hodgkin lymphoma. The goal is to see if adding sintilimab can improve outcomes while reducing side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 1–18 - NCT06850454RecruitingPhase 3
Olanzapine vs placebo for nausea from first chemo
This study tests if the drug olanzapine (commonly used for nausea) can help prevent vomiting in people receiving moderately strong chemotherapy for the first time. It may be a good fit if you're about to start treatment with oxaliplatin, irinotecan, or carboplatin and haven't had severe nausea treatments before.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06850285Recruiting
CD30 CAR-T for relapsed or refractory CD30+ lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CD30 CAR-T cells for people with CD30-positive lymphoma that has come back or hasn't responded to other treatments. The treatment uses your own immune cells that are specially trained to find and kill lymphoma cells carrying the CD30 marker.
