Study blood markers in pancreatic IPMN
This study looks for “biomarkers,” meaning measurable signs in the blood, in people diagnosed with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). It aims to better understand what changes happen in this condition and may help future diagnosis or monitoring.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges birth–90 years - NCT04813705RecruitingPhase 2
PET/CT-guided lower-dose radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special scan (PET/CT) to guide radiation can safely reduce the radiation dose for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help lessen side effects while still treating the cancer effectively.
Taizhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT04495790Recruiting
Cancer patient study to track health outcomes
This is an observational study that follows people with cancer to better understand outcomes over time. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and share information from your visits (in person or by video only if you meet their rules).
Seattle, WashingtonAges Any age - NCT04014530RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing pembrolizumab plus ataluren for metastatic dMMR or pMMR cancer
This early-phase trial tests pembrolizumab combined with ataluren for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has either dMMR or pMMR, and for metastatic dMMR endometrial cancer. The goal is to see whether this combination can shrink tumors or improve outcomes for cancers with specific mismatch repair (MMR) features.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05501353Recruiting
Study tumor biomarkers in recurrent metastatic colon cancer
This study looks for blood/tumor signals (“biomarkers”) that may help predict outcomes in people whose colorectal cancer returns and spreads after surgery. It mainly helps researchers understand who may do better or worse, which can guide future care.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–99 - NCT05707819Recruiting
Sintilimab plus chemoradiotherapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding sintilimab (an immune treatment) to standard chemoradiotherapy can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, locally advanced nasopharyngeal (throat) cancer. It may help your immune system work better against the cancer alongside radiation and chemotherapy.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18–70 - NCT02070328Recruiting
Proton therapy patient registry for outcomes and long-term follow-up
This study keeps a secure record of people receiving proton therapy to track outcomes over time. It may help researchers understand how proton therapy works in real life and improve future care.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges Any age - NCT05670938Recruiting
Follow-up after testicular cancer surgery and chemotherapy
This study looks at how people should be followed after treatment for testicular cancer (surgery and, for some, chemotherapy). It may help improve follow-up plans while keeping an eye out for cancer coming back.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05713578RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Apantamide plus docetaxel with hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This early-phase trial tests whether adding apantamide to hormone therapy (and possibly adding docetaxel chemotherapy) works better and is safe for men with high-volume spread of prostate cancer. It’s designed for people who have recently started hormone therapy and haven’t shown clear disease worsening yet.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–90 - NCT01958762Recruiting
Cigarette buyers get oral cancer screening
This trial tests whether people who recently bought cigarettes can be offered screening for oral (mouth) cancer. It may help find cancer or warning changes earlier in people at higher risk from smoking.
Amiens, PicardieAges 30–75 - NCT05722275Recruiting
Predicting peritoneal spread in advanced stomach cancer
This trial uses CT scan images and a look inside the abdomen (laparoscopy) to predict whether advanced stomach cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (the peritoneum). It may help your care team better identify who already has peritoneal spread and who might not.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05717790Recruiting
Nimotuzumab with chemo and radiation for advanced nose cancer
This trial tests whether adding nimotuzumab (an anti-EGFR antibody) to standard chemotherapy and radiation can improve outcomes for people with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It may help the cancer respond better and control it more effectively after treatment.
Baise City, GuangxiAges 18–70 - NCT05718492Recruiting
Tested HAIC for liver cancer after prior immunotherapy
This trial studies HAIC, a type of targeted treatment delivered into the liver, for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that has already been treated with immune and anti-blood-vessel therapies. It aims to see whether HAIC can help control the cancer safely after those earlier treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03836196Recruiting
Improve treatment for advanced prostate cancer with careful planning
This study looks at how to best plan and deliver treatment for men with advanced local prostate cancer. It may help find the most effective approach while keeping side effects manageable.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05724992Recruiting
Study genetic testing in families at pancreatic cancer risk
This program invites people whose families are followed in a pancreatic cancer registry to do a saliva swab genetic test. It helps researchers learn how to identify genetic risk in families and may guide future care.
VeronaAges 18–80 - NCT05722392Recruiting
Two-step surgery for localized prostate cancer
This trial studies a “two-step” type of prostate removal surgery for men with localized prostate cancer, focusing on whether it is safe and effective. It may help if you have certain prostate size, PSA level, and tumor features that match their criteria.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT05723718Recruiting
Testing body-water measurements in people with stomach cancer
This trial uses a painless machine to measure your body composition (mainly fluid and muscle) using bioelectrical impedance. It’s looking at people with stage II–III stomach cancer who are receiving standard “multi-treatment” care, to see whether these measurements are useful during treatment.
LublinAges 18–100 - NCT05462457Recruiting
Tests adding a targeted approach for breast cancer with many involved nodes
This trial studies a treatment plan for early breast cancer that involves at least three suspicious lymph nodes on the ultrasound/imaging. It looks at whether a targeted technique—done before surgery with chemotherapy—can improve or guide care when surgery will remove the lymph nodes.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT05727228Recruiting
Risk screening for HPV after LEEP
This study looks at how to sort people into higher- or lower-risk groups after abnormal HPV testing treatment (LEEP), using repeat HPV and Pap (cytology) tests. It may help improve follow-up plans by identifying who needs closer monitoring after LEEP.
Randers, Central JutlandAges 23–64 - NCT03466424Recruiting
Short radiation then chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation given before chemotherapy for people with locally advanced rectal cancer (cancer that has grown into nearby tissue and/or nearby lymph nodes but can still be removed). It may help shrink the tumor and make treatment more effective while assessing how well this approach works.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT04743102Recruiting
Multi-point full-thickness biopsy to confirm complete rectal cancer response
This trial checks whether taking small samples from the full thickness of rectal tissue can accurately confirm that rectal cancer has fully responded to chemotherapy and/or radiation. It may help doctors decide the best next step if no tumor is seen after treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05018663Recruiting
AI test of fluid samples from pancreatic cysts
This trial uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help interpret fluid/scraping samples taken with a needle from pancreatic cysts. You might be eligible if an ultrasound/endoscopy exam found a pancreatic cyst called a PSL and it’s safe for you to have that needle procedure (FNA/FNB).
Houston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT05731258Recruiting
Watch how liposomal doxorubicin is used after breast cancer
This is an observational study that follows people receiving add-on (adjuvant) chemotherapy after primary breast cancer. It aims to understand treatment patterns and outcomes for patients healthy enough to receive liposomal doxorubicin and who have no major complications.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05562024RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for B7-H3 positive neuroblastoma after relapse
This Phase 1 study tests TAA06, an injection that targets a marker called B7-H3 on neuroblastoma tumor cells. It is for children who have neuroblastoma that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment, aiming to see whether the treatment is safe and can shrink tumors.
