KSV01 injection for relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This trial tests an investigational drug called KSV01 for people with a type of blood cancer (B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia) that has come back or hasn't responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can help control the cancer.
HangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT05298722Recruiting
MRI and blood tests to predict if pancreatic surgery is possible
This study looks at MRI scans, computer-extracted imaging features, and blood/“liquid biopsy” tests after FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy to predict whether surgery can fully remove pancreatic cancer. It may help your care team choose the best next step—whether surgery is likely to be possible and how to plan it.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT05290038Recruiting
Review study for adults with metastatic UC treated with specific drugs
This is a study that looks back at past medical records of adults with metastatic urinary tract cancer. It specifically includes people who received certain immunotherapy or antibody-drug treatments during set time periods, to help researchers understand outcomes and care patterns.

Capivasertib plus fulvestrant for high-risk lobular breast cancer
This trial tests adding capivasertib to fulvestrant for women with a certain type of breast cancer (invasive lobular carcinoma) that is hormone-receptor positive and has a high risk of coming back. The treatment is given before surgery to see if it works better than fulvestrant alone.
AugsburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06082947Recruiting
Stem cell transplant with special cell depletion for children and young adults
This trial tests a type of stem cell transplant that removes certain immune cells (alpha-beta T cells and CD19 B cells) from the donor cells. This may help prevent graft-versus-host disease and other complications in patients with blood cancers who do not have a matched sibling donor.
Columbus, OhioAges Up to 30 years - NCT06200168RecruitingPhase 3
Electroacupuncture to prevent nausea during breast cancer chemo
This study tests whether electroacupuncture can help prevent nausea and vomiting caused by strong chemotherapy in people with breast cancer. If you're starting a certain type of chemo, this could help you feel better during treatment.
Xining, QinghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06484829RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new drug, purinostat mesylate, combined with pomalidomide (a chemotherapy pill) and a low-dose steroid (dexamethasone) for people with multiple myeloma that has returned or stopped responding to prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer with manageable side effects.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06620848RecruitingPhase 2
A trial of HRS-4642 alone or with adebrelimab for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new drug, HRS-4642, either by itself or combined with another drug called adebrelimab, for people whose advanced bile duct cancer has come back or gotten worse after standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06801756Recruiting
Craniopharyngioma and pregnancy study
This trial looks at how craniopharyngioma, a rare brain tumor, affects pregnancy. Researchers want to learn more about health outcomes for women who have or had this tumor.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06872723Recruiting
Lung cancer screening adherence study
This trial looks at how to help people stick with lung cancer screening. You may qualify if you smoke now or have quit recently, have a heavy smoking history, and are healthy enough for screening.
Houston, TexasAges 50–80 - NCT06840106Recruiting
Steam therapy for breathing issues after thyroid removal
This study tests whether breathing in steam can help with sore throat, cough, or other breathing problems that sometimes happen after a thyroid surgery. If you had a thyroid tumor removed and are having these symptoms, this treatment might help you feel better.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–69 - NCT06900647RecruitingPhase 1
Bortezomib plus cisplatin for advanced breast cancer
This study tests a combination of two drugs, bortezomib and cisplatin, for people with breast cancer that has spread or come back after standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06907771Recruiting
Surgery strategy study for advanced ovarian cancer
This study looks back at records of people with advanced ovarian cancer to see if changing the order of their treatments might help them live longer. It focuses on those who had a certain type of surgery at a French hospital between 2010 and 2022.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06907602RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Optimizing treatment before surgery for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests different combinations of treatments given before surgery for a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to find the best approach to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients whose cancer has not spread to distant organs.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04462042Recruiting
Proton vs photon radiation for anal canal cancer
This study compares two types of radiation—protons versus photons—for anal canal squamous cell carcinoma. It may help find which option delivers treatment more effectively or with fewer side effects.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06906016Recruiting
New blood tests for hepatitis B
This study looks at new blood tests (biomarkers) to better understand chronic hepatitis B and how it affects treatment decisions. It may help doctors find better ways to manage your condition.
Créteil, CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT04464122Recruiting
Testing blood markers to diagnose and gauge early response in NEN
This trial studies whether specific blood “biomarkers” can help confirm a type of cancer called NEN (neuroendocrine neoplasm) and show whether treatment is working early. It may help doctors start or adjust treatment sooner, especially for cancers that are advanced or have spread.
Rome, ItalyAges 18–80 - NCT05828446Recruiting
Improving liver cancer screening for people at risk
This study looks at ways to improve screening for liver cancer in adults with long-term liver disease. It may help catch liver cancer earlier, which can make treatment easier.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT05530096Recruiting
Genetic test to find minimal residual myeloma in remission
This study tests a genetic technology (ClonoSeq-based) to detect very small amounts of multiple myeloma that may remain after treatment. It may help doctors better track how well treatment is working and predict how the disease responds over time.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06306118Recruiting
Guiding device for more precise brain biopsies
This trial tests a new positioning device that helps doctors take small tissue samples (biopsies) from brain lesions more precisely during surgery. If you have a brain lesion that needs to be removed, this study may help improve accuracy.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–80 - NCT06502743RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chemotherapy and pembrolizumab with or without nesuparib for endometrial cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (carboplatin and paclitaxel) plus the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, followed by maintenance pembrolizumab either alone or with a PARP inhibitor called nesuparib. It is for women with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer that is MMR-proficient (a type where the cells have a normal ability to fix DNA).
Kyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT05112549RecruitingPhase 1
PD-1 antibody placed into brain fluid for metastatic cancer
This early-phase study tests a PD-1 antibody delivered directly into the brain fluid (intrathecal space) to treat metastatic solid tumors that have spread to the lining around the brain/spinal cord (leptomeningeal disease). It aims to see whether this approach can better control cancer in that area and whether it’s safe.
BonnAges 18 years+ - NCT04624373Recruiting
Test tumor DNA from breath biopsy samples
This study checks tiny pieces of DNA from a sample taken during a breathing-tube biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) to better identify certain lung cancer changes. It may help doctors learn more about the type of lung cancer and, in some cases, why targeted treatments stop working.
