Zhengzhou, HenanAges 6–99 - NCT05469269Recruiting
Study to screen for prostate cancer risk in Black men
This project aims to learn about prostate cancer risk and screening needs in Black or African American adults. You may be asked questions and tested as part of determining who might benefit from prostate screening.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40 years+ - NCT05469373Recruiting
Testing ESIS for children with hard-to-treat epilepsy
This trial studies ESIS in children and teens (ages 1 to 30) who have epilepsy that has not been controlled by medications. It may help by improving how doctors evaluate and treat seizures, especially when an additional brain-monitoring test is planned.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1–30 - NCT05469893RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for high-risk smoldering myeloma
This trial studies a precision approach to treat people with high-risk smoldering myeloma (a condition that can turn into active myeloma). The goal is to see whether the treatment can slow or prevent progression and improve outcomes.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05470920Recruiting

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05470348RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug BL-B01D1 for advanced breast and other solid cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests BL-B01D1 in people with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) breast cancer and certain other solid tumors that have not worked with standard treatment. The goal is to learn if the drug can be given safely and to see whether it shows signs of benefit.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05472311Recruiting
Thermal ablation rollout and cost study for cervical pre-cancer
This study looks at how best to add a treatment called thermal ablation for cervical pre-cancer into regular clinic care, and how much it costs. It may help clinics deliver care more effectively and more affordably in the future.
Thika, Kiambu CountyAges 21–60 - NCT05472792RecruitingPhase 2
Testing breast radiation after lumpectomy with or without hormone pills
This Phase 2 trial compares different “after-surgery” treatment plans for certain older women with hormone-sensitive early breast cancer. It looks at whether a standard hormone-pills approach or a faster, smaller-area radiation approach (given after lumpectomy) works best to prevent cancer coming back.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 65 years+ - NCT05472558RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK cell treatment for CD19-positive relapsed lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests a new immune-cell treatment made from donated cord blood. It aims to treat people whose B-cell lymphoma has come back or did not respond, specifically when the tumor has CD19 on it.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05472948RecruitingPhase 2
Testing surufatinib plus immunotherapy with capecitabine for bowel cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of anti-cancer drugs (surufatinib, immunotherapy, and capecitabine) to treat cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It’s for people whose small intestine or appendix adenocarcinoma has progressed after earlier treatment, aiming to shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05473156RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AP203 for advanced solid tumors that grew despite treatment
This early-phase study tests AP203 (an investigational treatment) to see if it is safe and to look for signs it can shrink or control certain advanced cancers. The study includes a dose-finding part for many solid tumors, and a second part focused on specific lung and head/neck cancers that previously received PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05474573Recruiting
Laser-guided removal of brain tumors using special light
This study tests a method to help surgeons find and remove brain tumors that show up on MRI with contrast dye (often high-grade gliomas and brain metastases). If you newly have one of these tumors, the trial may help improve how completely tumors can be removed while protecting important brain areas.
MoscowAges 18–79 - NCT05475366Recruiting
Choosing the right first chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a personalized approach to selecting your first chemotherapy based on tumor gene activity. It aims to match treatment to your cancer’s biology to improve outcomes for people with advanced (metastatic) pancreatic cancer.
ClichyAges 18–75 - NCT05474846RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Combination treatment to improve sleep in advanced cancer
This trial tests a combination approach to improve poor sleep in people with advanced cancer. If you qualify, you would answer sleep and symptom questions and may do a structured therapy (CBT) plus follow-up visits.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05475600Recruiting
Biofeedback and relaxation for ICU patients with blood cancers
This trial tests whether guided biofeedback and relaxation techniques can help people with blood cancers while they are in the ICU. It may improve comfort and stress during critical illness, compared with standard care.
MetzAges 18–75 - NCT05475106RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized vaccine using tumor peptide targets and an immune booster
This early-phase trial tests a personalized immune treatment made from your tumor’s specific “neoantigen” targets (small pieces the immune system can recognize), plus an immune-boosting medicine. It aims to help control certain cancers by training your immune system to attack your tumor.
Tijuana, Estado de Baja CaliforniaAges 16 years+ - NCT05476432RecruitingPhase 3
One-day versus two-day chemotherapy for unresectable liver cancer
This study compares two schedules of chemotherapy to treat liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see whether the shorter schedule works about as well, with similar safety.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05475613RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy to shrink advanced liver cancer before transplant
This trial tests an immunotherapy “downstaging” plan to shrink hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer) so it may become treatable with a liver transplant. You may be eligible if your cancer is beyond transplant limits but is still only in the liver, and you meet specific liver function and health requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05475678RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemo before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests adding camrelizumab (an immune therapy) to standard chemotherapy before surgery for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has not spread. It aims to improve how much the tumor shrinks before and around the time of surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT05476770RecruitingPhase 1
Tagraxofusp for children with CD123-positive leukemia
This study tests tagraxofusp, a medicine that targets a marker called CD123 on cancer cells, in children and young adults whose leukemia or lymphoma has come back or is resistant to treatment. It may help by shrinking the cancer and improving disease control after standard therapies have not worked.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT05475925RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug DR-01 for specific blood cancer types
This early-phase study tests DR-01 to treat large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGLL) or certain aggressive T-cell or cytotoxic lymphomas. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and can shrink or control the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05477264RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab with radiation for early nasal lymphoma
This trial tests whether adding a medicine called tislelizumab to radiation works better than radiation alone for newly diagnosed nasal (nasal-type) NK/T-cell lymphoma. If you qualify, it may help control the cancer and improve outcomes by using both treatments together.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05477589RecruitingPhase 3
Conditioning plan for kids with AML before stem cell transplant
This Phase 3 trial studies the best “conditioning” chemotherapy plan before an allogeneic stem cell transplant for children with AML. It may help improve outcomes by testing an approach for kids who are ready for transplant after relapse or specific high-risk features.
