Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06947330RecruitingPhase 3
Pain relief after mastectomy: comparing two nerve blocks
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast removal surgery. Both are injections near chest muscles that can help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers.
Cairo, WailiAges 21–65 - NCT05965531RecruitingPhase 2
TAS-102 plus radiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding TAS-102 (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation given before treatment improves outcomes for certain locally advanced rectal cancers. It may help by trying to shrink the tumor before the next steps of care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04184505RecruitingPhase 3
Testing stem cell transplant in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
This Phase 3 trial tests whether doing an “allogeneic” stem cell transplant works best for people newly diagnosed with higher-risk MDS (a bone marrow disorder). It’s mainly for patients who are healthy enough to receive a transplant and haven’t started MDS treatment yet.
AlessandriaAges 18–70 - NCT05201404RecruitingPhase 3
Namodenoson for advanced liver cancer with moderate cirrhosis
This Phase 3 trial studies whether namodenoson can slow or control advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) in people whose cirrhosis is in a specific middle range. It may help if standard treatments have not worked or the cancer has spread and is not expected to be cured.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06102863RecruitingPhase 2
Progesterone and statins for young women with early endometrial cancer or atypical hyperplasia
This trial tests whether adding a statin to progesterone therapy helps young women with early endometrial cancer or atypical endometrial hyperplasia who want to preserve their fertility. It aims to find a better treatment option for those who may not respond well to progesterone alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 17–45 - NCT07177170Recruiting
Cancer screening: one visit vs. multiple visits for women with HIV
This study tests whether one or multiple clinic visits work better for cervical cancer screening in women living with HIV. It aims to see which approach is easier, more complete, and more acceptable.
FoumbanAges 25–49 - NCT07180121Enrolling by invitation
Information and support needs after bladder cancer surgery
This study looks at the information and support needs of people who have had bladder cancer and undergone a cystectomy. It aims to see how these needs change over time and to improve supportive care after surgery.
LinköpingAges 18–100 - NCT07179757Recruiting
Vulvovaginal cancer treatment study
This study looks at how well treatments like radiation, chemotherapy, or surgery work for people with vulvar or vaginal cancer, and how they affect quality of life. It includes patients treated between 2019 and 2023.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges Any age - NCT07181278Recruiting
Better cervical cancer screening for women with HIV in Cameroon
This study tests a mobile team approach to screen for cervical cancer using HPV testing in women living with HIV. It aims to make screening easier to access and more effective.
BafoussamAges 25–49 - NCT06061094RecruitingPhase 2
Ph+ ALL chemo with targeted pills and transplant
This study tests a combination of chemotherapy, targeted pills (imatinib or ponatinib), and a targeted immunotherapy (blinatumomab) before a stem cell transplant for adults with a specific type of leukemia called Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL. The goal is to find the best treatment approach.
AachenAges 18–65 - NCT06225284RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with or without hormone drug for premenopausal TNBC
This trial tests whether adding a hormone-blocking drug (GnRH agonist) to standard chemotherapy before surgery helps premenopausal women with triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to improve treatment outcomes by targeting hormones that may fuel tumor growth.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06587802RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 antibody and radiation for advanced adrenal cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody) and radiation therapy for people with adrenal cortical carcinoma that has come back or spread and can't be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer when other treatments have stopped working.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06783244Recruiting
Low vs standard belly pressure for robot colorectal cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether using lower air pressure inside the belly during robot-assisted colorectal cancer surgery helps patients recover better compared to the standard pressure. It aims to find a gentler approach that might reduce pain and improve recovery.
