Ventilation methods in children during anesthesia
This study looks at how children are ventilated (helped to breathe) during surgery. It will help doctors understand current practices and improve care for young patients.

Comparing two liver cancer treatments for unresectable tumors
This trial compares two treatments for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery: SIRT (a type of internal radiation) and cTACE (a type of targeted chemo). It aims to see which is more effective for patients with limited tumor spread and good liver function.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06674265RecruitingPhase 1
Natural killer cells for advanced neuroblastoma
This trial tests a new type of immune cell called natural killer (NK) cells from healthy donors to treat neuroblastoma that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if these cells can help shrink or control the cancer.
TehranAges 2–16 - NCT06621563RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HS-20117 Combination Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors
This early-phase trial tests a new drug (HS-20117) combined with other drugs for people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective, especially for cancers that have not responded to other treatments.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06687681RecruitingPhase 2
Natural killer cell therapy for brain tumors
This trial tests a new treatment using donated natural killer (NK) cells injected into the body to fight high-grade brain tumors. It might help people with certain types of aggressive gliomas that are newly diagnosed.
TehranAges 3–70 - NCT06710379RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ADRX-0405 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ADRX-0405 in people with advanced solid tumors like prostate, stomach, or lung cancer. The goal is to see how safe it is and if it shrinks tumors.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06740357Recruiting
Shared decision-making for rectal cancer organ preservation
This trial tests a program that helps you and your doctor decide together whether to avoid surgery and keep your rectum after chemo and radiation. It's for people with early-stage rectal cancer who have not had prior treatment for this cancer.
DijonAges 18–80 - NCT06913335Recruiting
Comparing heat vs. sealant for bleeding during ovarian cyst removal
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to remove benign ovarian cysts: one uses heat (electrosurgery) and the other uses a special sealant. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective, which could help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–50 - NCT06918054RecruitingPhase 4
Liver protection for kids with leukemia
This trial tests if a medication can protect the liver during chemotherapy for children and teenagers newly diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It aims to reduce liver damage caused by treatment.
CairoAges 2–18 - NCT06918184Recruiting
Exercise timing after breast cancer surgery
This study tests whether starting specific physical therapy exercises early or later after breast cancer surgery is better for recovery. It may help women who are at risk for arm and shoulder problems after surgery.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06918262Recruiting
MRD-guided local therapy for oligometastatic breast cancer
This study is looking at a test called MRD (minimal residual disease) to see if it can guide decisions about local treatments (like surgery or radiation) for people with breast cancer that has spread to a few spots. It may help doctors know when to use these treatments and when to wait.

A study for adults with triple negative B-cell ALL
This study is for adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that does not have three specific gene changes (called BCR-ABL1, TCF3-PBX1, and MLL-AF4). The study will look at people who are newly diagnosed or who have had their cancer come back.
