Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05255302RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Shorter immune maintenance for stage IV lung cancer after initial treatment
This trial tests whether giving immune therapy maintenance for a shorter time helps people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are doing well after initial chemo-immunotherapy. It aims to keep the cancer controlled while possibly reducing treatment exposure and side effects.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18–74 - NCT06221670RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab after surgery for high-risk early lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving a drug called Toripalimab after surgery can help prevent early-stage non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people whose tumors have high-risk features and PD-L1 levels of at least 1%.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05477849RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for people with advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early effects of VG2025 in people with advanced solid cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It’s mainly looking for side effects and how the body processes the drug, and it may offer a new option when other treatments haven’t worked.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05916248RecruitingEarly Phase 1
mRNA vaccine plus pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests whether a personalized mRNA vaccine, given with pembrolizumab, can help people with advanced solid tumors by training the immune system to recognize cancer. It is mainly for patients whose tumor tissue matches specific genetic and immune patterns, and who meet key safety and infection requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06536439Recruiting
Digital tool to plan kidney clamping during robotic surgery
This trial tests a new digital tool that helps surgeons plan the best way to clamp the blood supply to your kidney during robotic surgery. The tool aims to reduce damage to healthy kidney tissue while still blocking the tumor's blood flow.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06050200Recruiting
Growth Observation in Liver Surgery
This trial studies a way to help people who need liver surgery but have a very small remaining liver after the operation. It tests a special growth observation approach to see if it can safely increase the size of the future liver remnant.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–80 - NCT06558682Recruiting
Pre-surgery treatment for HER2-positive cervical cancer
This trial tests a treatment given before surgery for cervical cancer that is both squamous cell type and HER2-positive. It aims to see if this approach works better for patients with these specific markers.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–70 - NCT06811870RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Hyperbaric oxygen before surgery for breast cancer
This trial tests adding hyperbaric oxygen (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) before standard chemotherapy for breast cancer. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor more effectively before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–60 - NCT07244016Recruiting
TCR test to guide immunotherapy and chemo for extensive SCLC
