St Louis, MissouriAges 50 years+ - NCT05507411RecruitingPhase 2
Watch-and-wait after chemo-radiation plus immunotherapy for esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (camrelizumab) to standard chemo-radiation can help some people with operable esophagus cancer avoid immediate surgery, using a “watch and wait” approach. If it works, it may reduce the need for early surgery for carefully selected patients.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05508347RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new antibody with chemo for locally advanced throat cancer

Genetic study in Indian children with newly diagnosed leukemia
This study looks at genetic (DNA) differences to understand acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Indian children and how treatments may fit better. You may be able to join if your child is newly diagnosed, meets the study’s treatment plan rules, and provides consent.
New DelhiAges 1–18 - NCT05512403RecruitingPhase 3
Test of FDOPA PET scan to evaluate a brain tumor
This study checks how well an FDOPA PET scan can identify and describe a specific type of brain tumor at the beginning. Results may help doctors decide on the best next steps for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18–75 - NCT05512286Recruiting
Radiation experience after breast surgery with belly flap
This trial looks at how people feel (patient-reported outcomes) and how safe treatment is when radiotherapy is given after a mastectomy with a DIEP belly skin-flap reconstruction. It may help doctors understand which experiences to expect and how to improve care.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05512208RecruitingPhase 2
Avutometinib plus defactinib for RAS or BRAF mutated gynecologic cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a two-drug treatment (avutometinib plus defactinib) for certain advanced gynecologic cancers that have specific cancer-driving DNA changes (like RAS or BRAF). It’s designed for people whose cancer has returned or gotten worse after at least one prior treatment for metastatic disease.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT05512351RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus low-dose Avastin for recurrent oligodendroglioma
This Phase 2 trial tests an immune treatment (sintilimab, an anti–PD-1 antibody) together with low-dose bevacizumab (Avastin) to treat oligodendroglioma that has come back, including cases detected by tumor DNA in body fluid. It aims to slow or control tumor growth and help reduce symptoms by targeting both the tumor and its blood supply.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT05514327Recruiting
Radiation plus CAR-T for relapsed lymphoma after chemo
This study tests an “ultra-fraction” radiation treatment given before CAR-T therapy to help control aggressive lymphoma that has come back or did not respond. It may help some people bridge (bridge = hold the disease stable) while they wait for CAR-T to work.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05512481RecruitingPhase 2
Study combination treatment before surgery for high-risk acral melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests three medicines given before surgery for people with high-risk acral melanoma (a skin cancer type). It aims to shrink or control the cancer earlier and see how well the treatment works and is tolerated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05513638Recruiting
AI imaging tool to help diagnose prostate cancer
This study tests an AI computer tool that analyzes prostate scans to help tell if someone may have prostate cancer. It may help improve how doctors interpret imaging results and decide on next steps.
NanjingAges 60–90 - NCT05513885Recruiting
Study of bacteria in pilonidal cysts treated with laser
This study looks at the types of bacteria present in pilonidal cysts, especially after treatment with a holmium laser during a planned procedure. It may help doctors better understand infections and how to manage pilonidal cysts more effectively.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05514769Recruiting
Surgery type comparison for early-to-mid stomach cancer
This trial compares two different stomach cancer surgeries after removing the tumor, to see which works better for patients with stomach adenocarcinoma. It may help determine the safest approach and best recovery outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18–85 - NCT05514275RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus endostatin and capecitabine for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding endostatin and capecitabine to standard radiation can improve outcomes for people with non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal cancer that has not responded well to chemotherapy. It may help those with stable or worsening disease after treatment before moving to radiation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT05516628RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant atezolizumab plus bevacizumab after liver cancer surgery
This trial studies whether adding atezolizumab and bevacizumab after complete liver cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It also uses “multi-omics” tests (special lab tests on your tissue/blood) to help predict who is more likely to respond or resist treatment.
SingaporeAges 21–90 - NCT05515978RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Metformin study for prostate cancer patients with weight or sugar issues
This early-phase study tests whether metformin can help prostate cancer patients who have higher body weight and/or early blood sugar problems. You would be screened for eligibility using your medical record, and the study looks mainly at your current health factors and medicines.

Scan test to see tumor-support cells in pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a special imaging scan (a PET/CT with a tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46) to look at “cancer-support” cells in people with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It may help doctors better understand the tumor and how it responds before surgery after initial treatment.
