ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06930378Recruiting
Breast skin feeling after DIEP flap reconstruction
This trial compares three surgical techniques to see which one best preserves or improves skin feeling after breast reconstruction with a DIEP flap (using your own tissue to rebuild the breast). You may join if you are having this type of reconstruction and do not have nerve problems or smoke.

Robotic surgery for gastrointestinal and urologic conditions
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT06926179Recruiting
Immunotherapy before surgery or radiation for lung cancer
This trial tests using immunotherapy before surgery or radiation for non-small cell lung cancer. It looks at how safe and effective this approach is and how it affects survival.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06930573RecruitingPhase 4
AK112 for high-risk liver cancer after surgery
This study tests a new drug called AK112 (a combination antibody targeting two proteins that help tumors grow) after surgery for liver cancer that has a high chance of returning. The goal is to see if it can prevent the cancer from coming back.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT04892693RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib for advanced breast cancer with DNA repair defects
This trial studies talazoparib (a targeted pill) in people with advanced breast cancer whose tumors have problems repairing certain DNA damage. If your tumor has these specific “DNA repair” defects, the medicine may work better and stop the cancer from growing.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05536128RecruitingPhase 2
Fulvestrant plus DNA damage drugs after CDK4/6 treatment failure
This Phase 2 trial studies whether combining fulvestrant with medicines that block DNA repair can help treat HR+/HER2- metastatic or inoperable breast cancer that has progressed after endocrine therapy plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor. It also aims to check the safety of this combination and see if it can control the cancer for longer.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05876676Recruiting
Test a cancer blood marker in people being checked for cancer
This study checks a “biomarker” (a measurable sign in your body, often from blood) in people who are being investigated for possible cancer in a specific body area. It may help researchers understand whether the marker can support or rule out cancer when no cancer has been confirmed yet.
AbergavennyAges 18 years+ - NCT05239338Recruiting
Preserving fertility after colorectal cancer
This study looks at how to help people protect their ability to have children after colorectal cancer. It mainly includes younger adults who were diagnosed for the first time and can complete study questionnaires.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–49 - NCT06118788RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BG1805 for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new treatment, BG1805, for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to standard therapy. It targets a specific marker on leukemia cells called CLL-1.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06754930RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of SHR-1826 combined with other treatments for lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called SHR-1826 in combination with other anti-cancer therapies for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It aims to see if these combinations are safe and effective for patients who haven't been treated before or whose cancer has come back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06355583RecruitingPhase 2
Gut bacteria transplant before stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether giving a transplant of healthy gut bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) before a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with certain blood cancers or bone marrow disorders.
Birmingham, EnglandAges 18 years+ - NCT06273345Recruiting
Treating the primary tumor for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This trial studies whether treating the main prostate tumor with local therapy (like surgery or radiation) along with hormone therapy is beneficial for men whose cancer has spread to only a few spots in the body (low-volume metastases). It focuses on men who have not had any prior treatment for their prostate cancer.
Brixen, BolzanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06637163RecruitingPhase 2
Study of benmelstobart plus chemo-radiation before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (benmelstobart) to standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery can help treat a certain type of esophageal cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and works better than standard treatment alone.
Shantou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06751498Recruiting
Predicting kidney function after partial nephrectomy with AI
This trial uses a special computer model to predict how well your kidneys will work after surgery to remove part of a kidney (partial nephrectomy). It may help doctors plan better care for people with early-stage kidney tumors.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06931548Recruiting
Preserving the breast fold in reconstruction
This study tests a surgical technique to better preserve the natural fold under the breast (the inframammary fold) during implant-based breast reconstruction. It may help improve the cosmetic result after breast cancer treatment.
Moscow, Skolkovo Innovation CenterAges 18 years+ - NCT05348486Recruiting
Adaptive radiation planning using FMISO imaging for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a way to personalize radiation treatment using a special scan (FMISO) to improve targeting in certain head and neck cancers. It is designed for people who are newly diagnosed and ready for standard curative (definitive) chemoradiation or faster radiation schedules.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT05288777RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing follow-up chemo and radiation for high-risk breast cancer
This trial studies a standard follow-up treatment plan that combines chemotherapy and radiation after surgery, and it looks for blood/tissue “biomarkers” that predict who benefits most. If you have high-risk breast cancer that didn’t fully disappear after initial (neoadjuvant) chemo, you may be eligible to help guide better future treatment choices.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06923345RecruitingPhase 2
Modified long-course radiation and chemo with immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan involving radiation, chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) for people with a specific type of high-risk rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05266898RecruitingPhase 4
