Nerve block for pain relief in robotic thymus surgery
This trial tests a nerve block to reduce pain after robotic thymus surgery. It may help patients with thymus growths or cysts have less pain and use fewer painkillers after their operation.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06840067Recruiting
Carbon ion radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation called carbon ion therapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer (stages III–IV) that has spread or can't be removed by surgery. It's combined with standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus nituzumab) to see if it can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Wuwei, GansuAges 18–80 - NCT06878625RecruitingPhase 2
Trop-2 drug combo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (Trop-2 antibody-drug conjugate plus other therapies) for advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or come back. It may offer a new option for people who have had only 1–2 prior chemotherapies and have not used immunotherapy or anti-angiogenic drugs before.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06894628Recruiting
Genomics and extreme radiation for recurrent prostate cancer
This study looks at how well a very short course of high-dose radiation works for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. It aims to learn if genetics can help predict who benefits most from this type of radiation.
RomaAges Any age - NCT06894797Recruiting
Chemo and radiation before and after surgery for rectal cancer
This study tests a sequence of chemotherapy and radiation before and after surgery for rectal cancer. It compares giving more chemo between the end of radiation and surgery (consolidation) versus giving some chemo before radiation starts (induction). The goal is to see which order works better.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06894823Recruiting
Precision oncology platform for patients in central-southern Italy
This trial creates a program to offer personalized cancer care for patients living in central-southern Italy. It aims to use your tumor's genetic information to find the best treatment.
NaplesAges Any age - NCT06894173Recruiting
Early breast cancer treatment evolution study
This study looks back at treatments given to people with triple-negative or HER2-positive early breast cancer between 2016 and 2021. It aims to understand how treatment approaches have changed over time.
Aviano, PNAges 18 years+ - NCT06894290Recruiting
International heart disease registry for amyloidosis
This study collects information from people with a specific type of heart disease called cardiac amyloidosis (AL or ATTR type). By joining a registry, you help doctors learn more about these conditions and how to better treat them.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT06893861Recruiting
Testing a new blood test for endometrial cancer screening
This study is testing whether a blood test that looks at small molecules (metabolites) can help find endometrial cancer early in post-menopausal women. If you are between 50 and 80 years old and have not had a hysterectomy or certain hormone treatments, you may be able to join.
NaplesAges 50–80 - NCT06892964Recruiting
Italian registry and biobank for ML patients
This study creates a national registry and biobank to collect medical information and biological samples from people with any type of ML, helping research into the condition.
RomaAges Up to 100 years - NCT06894576Recruiting
Creating a risk score for blood clot recurrence and bleeding in cancer patients
This study is for people with cancer who have had a serious blood clot. Researchers want to create a risk score that predicts who might have another clot or a bleeding problem from treatment, so they can better tailor care.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06894082Recruiting
Checking scan readings for solid cancer patients
This trial is checking how well radiologists (the doctors who read your scans) can measure tumors in patients with solid cancers. You will have your regular cancer scans, and the researchers will see if the scan-reading process runs smoothly. It's a study to improve how scan results are used in cancer care.
Marseille, Institut Paoli CalmettesAges 18 years+ - NCT05282108Recruiting
Generic imatinib vs Glivec for newly diagnosed CML
This trial studies whether a generic version of imatinib (Carcemia®) works as well and is as safe as Glivec® in real-life care for people newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It may help confirm that the generic option is effective for controlling the disease.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT05976815Recruiting

Study of AP203 for advanced solid tumors that grew despite treatment
This early-phase study tests AP203 (an investigational treatment) to see if it is safe and to look for signs it can shrink or control certain advanced cancers. The study includes a dose-finding part for many solid tumors, and a second part focused on specific lung and head/neck cancers that previously received PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.

It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. If you qualify, you will have a blood draw and a tumor sample collected to create your own custom T cell therapy.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT06119789RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment for rare cancers using tumor markers
This trial tests whether using a precise medicine based on your tumor's unique biomarker can help treat rare cancers more effectively. It aims to offer personalized therapy when standard options are limited.
