ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06899854Recruiting
Collecting blood and tissue from patients with liver cancer
This study collects blood and tumor tissue samples from people with primary liver cancer who are starting their first treatment (systemic therapy or surgery). The samples help researchers learn more about these cancers and how to improve future treatments.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18–90 - NCT06898398Recruiting
TACE before surgery for large liver cancer
This trial combines a procedure called TACE (which blocks the blood supply to the tumor) with surgery to remove a large liver tumor. It is for people newly diagnosed with a large liver cancer that hasn't spread and can be completely removed with surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05463757Recruiting
Oral drugs for advanced or multiple basal cell skin cancer
This study registers people in the Netherlands who have certain types of basal cell skin cancer and take an oral hedgehog-blocking medicine. It may help doctors understand how well these tablets work and how patients do in real life.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges Any age - NCT06908902Recruiting
Robot-assisted kidney surgery for early-stage tumors without clamping
This study tests a robot-assisted surgery to remove part of the kidney for T1 tumors without clamping the main artery, which may help preserve kidney function. It may be an option for patients who are healthy enough for major surgery and have a small, early-stage kidney tumor.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06908291Recruiting
Photoacoustic imaging test for breast nodules and chemo response
This study uses a new imaging technique that combines light and sound to examine breast lumps. It may help doctors diagnose breast cancer, determine its type, and see how well chemotherapy is working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06909474RecruitingPhase 1
CD5-targeted CAR-NK therapy for relapsed T-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a new therapy using your own immune cells (NK cells) engineered to find and kill cancer cells that carry the CD5 protein. It is for people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or certain T-cell lymphomas that have not responded to treatment or have returned.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT03290534RecruitingPhase 2
Implantable radiation sheet for early-stage lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a permanently implanted, low-dose radiation “sheet” can be used to treat certain early-stage lung cancers. It may help shrink or control tumors while delivering radiation directly at the cancer site.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04817566Recruiting
Brain stimulation and training for thinking problems after breast cancer
This study tests whether brain stimulation plus cognitive training can improve thinking and memory problems in women after chemotherapy for breast cancer. It may help if you still feel “foggy” or have trouble concentrating months after treatment.
GreifswaldAges 18–65 - NCT05597917RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug trabectedin for advanced soft-tissue sarcoma
This Phase 3 trial tests trabectedin (in tTF-NGR study) for people with advanced or metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma whose first treatment with anthracycline drugs didn’t work (or can’t be used). It aims to see if this approach works better than the study comparison treatment, using tumor response and other safety outcomes.
Bad SaarowAges 18–75 - NCT05687747RecruitingPhase 1
68Ga-FAPI PET/MRI scan for liver cancer diagnosis
This trial studies how well a special imaging test (68Ga-FAPI PET/MRI) can detect and evaluate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. It may help doctors confirm diagnosis and plan next steps by seeing how the cancer takes up the tracer.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05867706Recruiting
Study of caregiver stress after a loved one is near end of life
This study looks at how stress and grief affect caregivers of people with a terminal illness. It may help researchers understand what support or changes could help caregivers cope during the last months of life.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05889312Recruiting
PET scan to measure early response to cancer therapy
This trial studies how well an imaging scan called 18F-FSPG PET shows whether head and neck or lung cancer responds to standard chemoradiotherapy. It may help doctors understand early signs of treatment success or failure.
LondonAges 16 years+ - NCT06740019RecruitingPhase 1
JMKX000197 for malignant pleural effusion in advanced cancer
This trial tests an investigational drug called JMKX000197 given into the chest to control fluid buildup caused by cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have led to a moderate or large pleural effusion requiring drainage.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07224451Recruiting
Liquid biopsy during spine surgery with blood-brain barrier disruption
This trial tests a technique called 'barrier disrupting fields' during spine surgery to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier. This may allow doctors to collect a liquid biopsy (a blood test that looks for tumor DNA) to better understand spinal tumors.
Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT06595446Recruiting
Timing of stent removal after bladder cancer surgery
This study looks at whether removing a small tube (stent) placed during bladder surgery earlier or later helps recovery. It is for patients having a specific type of bladder removal surgery that creates a new way for urine to leave the body.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06624865Recruiting
Gut bacteria and small-intestine neuroendocrine tumor study

Lyon, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06740071Recruiting
Pelvic floor training for urine leakage after prostate surgery
This study tests a special training program using touch and movement to strengthen pelvic floor muscles in men who leak urine after prostate cancer surgery. It may help you regain bladder control more quickly.
