La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05274919Recruiting
Brain tumor MRI pattern study to map tumor genetics
This study uses special “pattern mapping” from brain MRI scans to see whether MRI images reflect a brain tumor’s genetic type. It may help doctors better match MRI findings to tumor characteristics using scans they may already need for diagnosis.

Fecal microbiome transplant after anti-PD-1 melanoma not working
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) can help your body respond better to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in advanced skin melanoma. It is for people whose melanoma has progressed despite anti-PD-1 treatment.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05769660RecruitingPhase 1
Study BEY1107 plus temozolomide for recurrent glioblastoma
This Phase 1 study tests the safety and early effectiveness of BEY1107 combined with temozolomide in adults whose glioblastoma has come back or kept growing after standard treatment. If you qualify, you may be able to receive this combination while the researchers closely monitor side effects and tumor response.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06595329RecruitingPhase 1
Pain relief after kidney cancer surgery: epidural vs spinal opioids
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after open kidney cancer surgery: an epidural (a thin tube placed near your spine) versus a single spinal injection of opioids. Both aim to control pain, but the study wants to see which method works better, with fewer side effects.
SplitAges 18 years+ - NCT06613217RecruitingPhase 1
Oral PCLX-001 for relapsed or refractory AML
This trial tests an oral drug called PCLX-001 for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can help control the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06742892RecruitingPhase 2
Study of HLX43 for advanced liver cancer after standard treatment fails
This trial tests a new drug, HLX43, for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that has worsened or caused intolerable side effects after standard treatments like immunotherapy or targeted therapy. The goal is to see if HLX43 can help when other options have stopped working.
Hunan, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06773312RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BC001 plus Sintilimab and XELOX for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (BC001, Sintilimab, and XELOX chemotherapy) for people with advanced or metastatic HER-2 negative stomach cancer or cancer where the stomach meets the esophagus. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06866873Recruiting
CAR-T cell therapy for kids with ALL or lymphoma
This trial tests a special immune cell treatment (CAR-T cells) for children whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if these cells can find and destroy the cancer.
Hong KongAges 1–17 - NCT06867172Recruiting
Fat in the pancreas in people with cysts or cancer
This study looks at whether fat buildup in the pancreas (called pancreatic steatosis) is common in people who have pancreatic cysts or pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors better understand these conditions.
Bucharest, Sector 1Ages 18 years+ - NCT06862102Recruiting
Multiple HPV Infections and Cervical Lesion Risk
This study looks at how having multiple types of HPV virus affects the development of abnormal cervical cells (called CIN). It may help doctors understand why some people are more at risk and could lead to better prevention.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06866483Recruiting
Online screening for undiagnosed myasthenia gravis
This study tests a new online screening tool to find people who might have undiagnosed myasthenia gravis (a muscle-weakness condition). You answer questions about your symptoms and get more information if the tool suggests you might need to talk to a doctor.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03895359RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus targeted radiation versus chemo alone for liver cancer
This trial compares two treatments for liver cancer that can’t be removed with surgery: chemo through the liver (TACE) alone versus TACE plus a precise radiation treatment (SBRT). It may help people whose cancer stays in the liver but can’t be operated on, by testing whether adding focused radiation improves outcomes.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04745390Recruiting
Testing a tailored radiation dose plan for liver tumors
