Compare recovery programs after lung surgery
This trial compares two ways of helping patients recover after lung surgery: a “enhanced recovery” plan versus standard care. It may help your team find a recovery approach that improves comfort and recovery after surgery for certain lung problems.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT05626400Recruiting
CAR T for relapsed T-ALL or T-LBL with CD7
This trial tests a type of immune therapy (CAR T cells) called Senl-T7 in people whose T-cell leukemia or lymphoma has come back or did not respond. It aims to target cancer cells that carry a marker called CD7.
Beijingcun, HebeiAges 2–70 - NCT05486455Recruiting
Lung cancer screening CT for eligible former and current smokers
This study looks at how well a chest CT scan can detect lung cancer early in people with a significant smoking history. If you qualify, your CT results may help improve future screening for people like you.
MarseilleAges 50–80 - NCT05618821RecruitingPhase 2
Indocyanine green dye during stomach surgery for leftover cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special light-activated dye (indocyanine green) during laparoscopic stomach surgery can improve surgical outcomes for people with remnant (leftover) stomach cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help surgeons better find lymph nodes while operating.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05620693Recruiting
Cell therapy study for NY-ESO-1–positive soft tissue cancer
This trial tests an engineered immune cell treatment (NY-ESO-1 TCR-T) for people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that has returned or spread after standard treatment. It aims to treat cancer cells that show a specific marker (NY-ESO-1) in the tumor.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05620680Recruiting
CD7 CAR-T for relapsed or resistant T-cell cancers
This trial studies a type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T) made from your own T-cells, designed to treat T-cell lymphoma or T-cell leukemia that has come back or didn’t respond. It may help by directing your immune system to attack the cancer, and it requires specific eligibility and safety checks.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04904757Recruiting
CESM contrast mammogram screening for dense breasts
This trial tests a newer kind of breast screening scan that uses a special dye (contrast) to better show breast tissue. It may help people with very dense breasts get clearer screening images.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 40–69 - NCT05620732Recruiting
CAR-T treatment for advanced stomach or pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a customized immune-cell treatment (CAR-T) for advanced stomach or pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to use cells engineered to target a specific tumor marker to shrink cancer or slow its growth.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04720339Recruiting
Testing blood DNA changes in lung cancer on immunotherapy
This study checks whether tiny bits of tumor DNA in the blood can be measured over time in people with non-small cell lung cancer who are receiving immunotherapy. It aims to see if these blood tests can help track the cancer response or changes during treatment.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04472845Recruiting
Shorter or longer breast radiation after surgery for high-risk cancer
This trial compares two schedules of radiation after breast surgery in people with high-risk, node-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see whether giving radiation in 1 week or 2 weeks works well and is safe after standard treatments.
ChandigarhAges 18 years+ - NCT05620706Recruiting
GPC-3 CAR-T for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests CAR-T cell therapy (immune cells changed to target GPC-3) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, especially when standard treatments no longer work or you cannot tolerate them. If eligible, the goal is to shrink tumors and help you live longer with improved cancer control.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 40–70 - NCT05628922RecruitingPhase 2
Blood EBV DNA–guided therapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a treatment approach for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer using their blood EBV DNA level (a cancer-related virus marker). It may help doctors choose and adjust therapy based on how much of this marker is in your blood after standard treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05627960RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an antibody drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests AG01, an antibody that targets a cancer protein called GP88, in people with advanced solid tumors. The goal is to find safe doses and learn whether it can help certain cancers.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03587480Recruiting
Surgery methods after chemo-radiation for stage 3 rectal cancer
This trial compares two different surgery approaches after chemo-radiation for stage 3 rectal cancer. It aims to see which operation helps control the cancer more effectively while keeping surgery as safe as possible.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05331911RecruitingPhase 4
Propofol anesthesia vs sevoflurane for liver tumor surgery
This study compares two types of general anesthesia—propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia versus sevoflurane inhaled anesthesia—during planned surgery to remove liver tumors. The goal is to see whether the anesthesia choice affects long-term outcomes after partial liver removal for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT05356039Recruiting
Study of surgery options and quality of life in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at people with borderline-resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer to see how treatment choices affect survival, quality of life, and whether tumors can be removed by surgery. It may help doctors better predict who can benefit from surgical approaches and what outcomes matter most to patients.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT05000892RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before surgery for salivary cancer
This trial studies giving an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) plus two chemotherapy medicines before surgery to shrink salivary gland cancer. The goal is to improve how well the cancer responds and is controlled, while still aiming for a cure through surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05634681Recruiting
Daily radiotherapy plan test for cervical cancer
This study tests a “plan of the day” approach to radiotherapy for cervical cancer to help deliver treatment more accurately each day. It may help reduce unwanted radiation to nearby organs while keeping cancer treatment effective.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05314608Recruiting
Testing IOBP treatment for knee bone lesions seen on MRI
This trial studies whether an IOBP® procedure can reduce knee pain in adults with a specific bone lesion under the joint surface. It focuses on people whose MRI shows one target lesion and who are already planned for IOBP surgery.
