Apatinib, Sintilimab, and Chemo for Intestinal Gastric Cancer
This phase 3 trial tests adding the targeted drug apatinib to a standard combination of sintilimab (immunotherapy) and chemotherapy (SOX regimen) given before surgery for a specific type of stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer (intestinal type, HER2-negative). The goal is to see if the three-drug combination works better than the two-drug combination in shrinking the tumor and improving outcomes before surgery.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–75 - NCT06939127RecruitingPhase 2
Cold therapy, immunotherapy, and chemo before and after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a treatment that uses extreme cold (cryoablation) along with immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and chemotherapy before and after surgery for people with early-stage lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06926790RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for stage II-IIIA lung cancer
This trial tests whether two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) given before surgery can help treat non-small cell lung cancer that is stage II to IIIA. It's for people whose tumors are removable and who haven't had prior cancer treatment.
GuangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT06938360Recruiting
Breast-conserving surgery for central breast cancer study
This trial compares breast-conserving surgery (removing only the tumor and nearby tissue) to total mastectomy (removing the whole breast) for women with breast cancer in the central area of the breast. The goal is to see if the less extensive surgery works just as well.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–70 - NCT06937554Recruiting
Function and nutrition in fit leukemia patients
This trial looks at how exercise and nutrition affect fit adult leukemia patients during intensive chemotherapy. It aims to understand how to best support your recovery and well-being.
Rome, RMAges 18–70 - NCT04737889RecruitingPhase 2
Rituximab plus lenalidomide, methotrexate, and temozolomide for brain lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests a combination treatment to shrink primary central nervous system lymphoma that starts in the brain, spinal cord, meninges, or eye. It may help patients who have not had anti-cancer treatment yet, but it requires specific cancer type and health conditions.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT06938373Recruiting
A test for breast cancer patients with possible depression
This study tests a new detection method for depression in people with breast cancer. It uses samples like blood, stool, and saliva to find a link between breast cancer and depression.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT05209620RecruitingPhase 2
Orelabrutinib plus pemetrexed for lymphoma in the brain
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination medicine (orelabrutinib with pemetrexed) to treat lymphoma that has returned or is not responding, specifically in the brain or spinal fluid. If you qualify, the goal is to shrink measurable tumors and improve control of central nervous system lymphoma.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06937112Recruiting
A new scan for early detection of certain cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent (18F-FAPI) to see if it can help find tumors early in people with lung, thyroid, pancreatic, melanoma, or neuroendocrine cancers.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07194044RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a treatment schedule for metastatic Ewing sarcoma
This trial tests a new schedule of standard chemotherapy drugs to see if it improves outcomes for people with metastatic Ewing sarcoma or CIC-rearranged sarcoma. It is for patients who have not had prior cancer treatment, except possibly one initial cycle of VDC.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 year+ - NCT07194005RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for HER2 1+/2+ advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (RC48, sintilimab, and SOX chemotherapy) for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery, has not been treated before, and has a specific HER2 score (1+ or 2+). The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to possibly allow surgical removal.
