Surufatinib plus immunotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies whether a combination of surufatinib and immunotherapy (camrelizumab, plus an “AS” medicine) can slow or shrink advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread. It is for people starting treatment for advanced disease for the first time and may help those who have measurable tumors and meet safety test limits.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05219058Recruiting
Rebuilding after major pelvic cancer surgery
This study looks at reconstruction (how tissue is rebuilt) after very large pelvic cancer surgeries. It may help teams improve the options and support for people having these operations and recovery experiences.

Sampling study for lung cancer patients on targeted pills
This trial collects blood samples from adults with advanced lung cancer that has a specific gene change and who are already taking targeted pill treatment (TKIs). The goal is to learn from these samples and how they relate to the cancer in patients on standard therapy.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05222100Recruiting
Study how breast implants affect mammogram screening
This trial looks at whether having breast implants changes what happens during routine breast cancer screening with mammograms. It may help improve how screening is done and understood for people with implants.
GothenburgAges 40–75 - NCT05221450Recruiting
Study of what affects root canal treatment outcomes
This study looks at which factors can change how well root canal (endodontic) treatment works. It may help improve future care by understanding what leads to better healing.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT05222620RecruitingPhase 2
SRS methods for untreated brain metastases under 4 cm
This trial compares two stereotactic radiation strategies for patients who have intact (not previously radiated) brain metastases that are limited in size. It aims to see which approach works best in controlling the cancer while reducing side effects.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05222971RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib, with or without immunotherapy, for DNA-repair biliary cancer
This Phase 2 study tests olaparib (a targeted anti-cancer pill) alone or with durvalumab (an immunotherapy) for biliary tract cancers that have specific DNA repair gene changes. It’s for people whose cancer has continued after standard platinum chemotherapy, aiming to slow or control the disease.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05223413Recruiting
Remote arm treatment to protect the heart during chemo
This trial studies whether a simple “remote conditioning” treatment on the arm can help protect the heart while you receive chemotherapy that includes anthracyclines. If you’re at higher risk for heart damage from chemo, this may reduce risk and help monitor heart function over time.
AarhusAges 18–99 - NCT05223816RecruitingPhase 2
Tested drug shots for advanced liver and bile duct cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a drug called VG161 given by injection into liver tumors, either alone or together with nivolumab. It aims to see how well it works and whether it is safe for people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05223803RecruitingPhase 2
Study radiation for early metastatic prostate cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a radiation-focused approach for people with newly diagnosed (de novo) prostate cancer that has spread to a small number of spots, especially in bone. It aims to see how well the treatment controls the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05224518Recruiting
Exercise program to improve quality of life in colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can improve quality of life for people with colorectal cancer. You may be asked to complete questionnaires in Mandarin/Taiwanese and follow exercise-related study rules to see if symptoms and daily well-being improve.
HsinchuAges 20 years+ - NCT05224934Recruiting
Radiation before surgery for retroperitoneal soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests giving a shorter, lower-dose radiation treatment before surgery for a retroperitoneal (deep belly/back space) soft-tissue sarcoma. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor and make surgery more effective and safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05225428Recruiting
Video education program based on personal genetic result disclosure
This study tests a video-based education approach that shares information differently depending on someone’s genetic test results. It may help people better understand cancer-related genetic information and what it could mean for them.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05227534Recruiting
Test for early cancer signals in people without symptoms
This trial checks whether a blood test can detect early signs of multiple cancers in people who feel well. It may help find cancer earlier, when treatment is more likely to work.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 40–75 - NCT05228431RecruitingPhase 2
Tested treatment plan for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at a modified “sandwich” treatment sequence for people with locally advanced rectal cancer—aiming to control the cancer before and after surgery. It may help you if you’re eligible and can follow the study’s treatment and safety requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05229003RecruitingPhase 2
Irinotecan, anlotinib, and pembrolizumab-like drug for advanced colon cancer
This Phase 2 study tests adding anlotinib and penpulimab to irinotecan for colorectal cancer that has come back or spread after earlier chemotherapy. It may help shrink tumors and control the disease when standard first-line treatment no longer works.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT05228951RecruitingPhase 2
Testing four breast cancer medicines for stage II–III ER+/PR+/HER2+ cancer
This trial studies a combination of anti-cancer medicines (including trastuzumab and hormone therapy) for women with stage II–III breast cancer that is ER-, PR-, and HER2-positive. It aims to improve outcomes by attacking the cancer in different ways.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT05229679Recruiting

Testing DNA “methylation” to evaluate thyroid nodule samples
This study looks at patient tissue from needle biopsies to see if DNA “methylation” patterns can help diagnose and guide treatment for thyroid nodules. You might benefit by helping improve how these nodules are evaluated, using information from your biopsy sample and medical data.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05231135Recruiting
Registry study for lymphoma in people living with HIV
This study keeps a registry (a protected health record database) of adults with lymphoma who also have HIV. The goal is to better understand lymphoma in people with HIV and how they’re diagnosed and followed over time.
Munich, Select One OptionAges 18 years+ - NCT05229614RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus carbon ion radiation for stable solid tumors
This trial studies whether adding carbon ion radiation to ongoing immunotherapy can help people whose cancer is currently stable. It targets solid cancers where scans show the disease is not growing quickly, aiming to improve control without causing unsafe side effects.
DarmstadtAges 18 years+ - NCT05230680RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Azacitidine with CHOP for newly diagnosed TFH nodal T-cell lymphoma
This trial studies azacitidine plus standard CHOP chemotherapy for newly diagnosed nodal T-cell lymphoma that has a specific “TFH” subtype. It aims to improve treatment control for people with this lymphoma type by testing a new combination in an early-phase study.
