Dostarlimab before surgery for advanced rectal cancer
This study looks at how well the immunotherapy drug dostarlimab works before surgery in patients with a specific type of advanced rectal cancer that has DNA repair problems (called dMMR/MSI-H). The goal is to see if it is safe and effective in the real world.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT07271017RecruitingPhase 1
Robot-assisted prostate biopsy using a new ultrasound probe
This trial tests a robot-assisted method for taking prostate biopsies using a new type of ultrasound probe. It may help men with certain high-risk features get a more precise diagnosis.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40–75 - NCT07270835RecruitingPhase 4
Zanubrutinib plus rituximab for HLH with B-cell lymphoma
This study tests a combination of two drugs—zanubrutinib and rituximab—to treat HLH that happens in people with B-cell lymphoma. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and works better.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 14–80 - NCT06854445RecruitingPhase 2
TQB2825 plus chemo for relapsed/refractory DLBCL
This trial tests a new drug called TQB2825 combined with chemotherapy for people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back or not responded to at least one prior treatment. It aims to see if this combination can help when other treatments haven't worked and stem cell transplant is not an option.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06846437RecruitingPhase 3
New drug JSKN003 vs. Kadcyla for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This trial compares a new targeted therapy (JSKN003) against Kadcyla (T-DM1) for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has advanced or spread. Both drugs work by attaching a chemotherapy directly to HER2-positive cancer cells, and the study aims to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06884878Recruiting
Advanced cancer testing study for targeted therapy
This study uses advanced testing (molecular profiling and imaging) to better understand cancers and help guide treatment. It is for people with certain advanced cancers who have not yet had immunotherapy or targeted therapy.
NaplesAges 18–100 - NCT06892223RecruitingPhase 2
Anti-NKG2A antibody for leukemia or MDS after half-matched transplant
This trial tests a drug that targets NKG2A, a protein that may help prevent cancer cells from hiding from the immune system. It is for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or related conditions who have already received a half-matched stem cell transplant (haploidentical transplant) with a specific anti-rejection drug plan.
Genova, GENOVAAges 18–99 - NCT06891183Recruiting
Heat therapy for lung tumors
This trial uses heat, delivered through a needle, to destroy small lung tumors. It might be an option for people who cannot have surgery due to other health problems.
AsyutAges Any age - NCT06891651Recruiting
21-gene testing for older breast cancer patients with lymph node spread
This trial looks at using a 21-gene test to guide treatment decisions for women aged 65 or older who have breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see if this test can help avoid unnecessary chemotherapy in this group.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65 years+ - NCT06891742RecruitingPhase 1
A study of a new cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called OriC902 for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that has not responded to standard therapies. The treatment uses special immune cells designed to target a protein called GPC3 found on cancer cells. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06891157RecruitingPhase 2
A new combination treatment for a type of lymphoma
This trial tests adding chidamide to standard chemotherapy (R-CHOP) for people newly diagnosed with a specific subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It may help improve outcomes for those whose cancer cells have high levels of MYC and BCL2 proteins.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06420115Recruiting
Comparing needle sizes for prostate MRI-targeted biopsy
This study compares two different needle sizes used during a prostate biopsy to see which one finds cancer more accurately and causes fewer side effects. It is for people who have not been diagnosed with prostate cancer before and have a suspicious MRI finding.
Padua, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06891144Recruiting

Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT03978377Recruiting
Checks heart and lung effects after chest radiation
This study looks at how chest radiation treatment affects the heart and lungs in people with certain lung or esophagus cancers. It may help doctors better predict and prevent these side effects during curative (aimed at cure) radiotherapy.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05713994Recruiting
Liver cancer treatments together for unresectable liver tumors
This trial tests a combined treatment plan—chemo delivered to the liver, targeted therapy, anti-VEGF therapy, and immunotherapy—to control unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help shrink tumors or slow progression when surgery isn’t possible.
Quanzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT05074316Recruiting
