Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07172243Recruiting
Amycon biobank and data registry for amyloidosis
This study collects blood and tissue samples and health data from people with amyloidosis to build a biobank and registry. Researchers hope this will help improve future diagnosis and treatment.

CAR-T with or without stem cell transplant for young women with myeloma
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (BCMA-CART) alone or combined with a stem cell transplant for women aged 18-55 with multiple myeloma. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–50 - NCT07171203RecruitingPhase 1
Imatinib and fampridine before surgery for KIT-mutant GIST
This trial tests whether combining two oral medications, imatinib and fampridine, before surgery can shrink GIST tumors that have a specific KIT gene mutation. The goal is to improve surgical outcomes and potentially reduce the risk of the tumor coming back.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07171658Recruiting
Cervical cancer screening for women getting breast cancer letters
This trial tests if inviting women for cervical cancer screening along with their breast cancer screening letters helps more people get tested. You might be eligible if you haven't had a cervical cancer screening in the last three years.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 50–74 - NCT07167225Recruiting
Chemical exposure in young adults who use e-cigarettes and cannabis
This study looks at how young adults who use e-cigarettes, cannabis, or both are exposed to harmful chemicals. It aims to understand the health effects of using these products together.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–25 - NCT07171190Recruiting
Adding abdominal CT to standard lung cancer screening
This study adds an optional CT scan of the belly to the usual lung cancer screening in certain areas of England. It aims to see if this extra scan helps find more health issues early.
HullAges 55–70 - NCT07173270Recruiting
Improving oral health in head and neck cancer survivors
This trial aims to improve oral health in people being treated for head and neck cancer. If you are receiving radiation therapy, this study may help manage side effects and keep your mouth healthier.
UppsalaAges 18 years+ - NCT07164950Recruiting
Compression stockings to prevent nerve damage from ADC therapy
This trial tests whether wearing compression stockings can help prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) caused by a type of chemotherapy called antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) in people with advanced cancers like bladder cancer. If you are starting treatment with an ADC and don't have existing nerve problems, you may be able to join.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07165210Recruiting
Lymph node spread in esophageal cancer trial
This trial looks at how often a specific lymph node (106TBL) is involved in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It may help guide treatment decisions for people who have not had other cancers and whose tumor is in the chest (not the neck).
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–85 - NCT07168629Recruiting
Community health workers help you get lung cancer screening
This trial tests whether a community health worker can help you get a lung cancer screening. If you are at risk for lung cancer and go to certain community health centers, this program may help you get the screening you need.
Springfield, MassachusettsAges 50–80 - NCT07166406RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy with or without targeted radiation for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding a precise, targeted form of radiation (called SBRT) to standard immunotherapy (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread to the blood vessels or outside the liver. You may be asked to participate in one of two treatment groups to see which approach works better.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07172282RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Immunotherapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial tests a new way to deliver immunotherapy directly into the liver for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors before surgery, and it may be an option if you've already had standard chemotherapy.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07167329RecruitingPhase 2
Belzutifan for VHL syndrome: a real-world study
This trial tests the drug belzutifan (a pill taken by mouth) in people with VHL syndrome who have kidney or other VHL-related tumors that are growing or can be measured. The study looks at how well belzutifan works in real-world conditions and whether certain genetic factors affect how the drug works.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 14 years+ - NCT04037007Recruiting
Fistulotomy during ERCP to open the bile duct entrance
This trial looks at whether a specific small procedure during ERCP helps doctors reach and drain the bile duct when gallstones or bile duct narrowing are suspected. It may help people avoid getting stuck during the procedure and improve how successfully the bile duct can be reached.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–90 - NCT06950814Recruiting
Impact of extra treatment after surgery for liver cancer
This study looks at whether additional treatment after liver surgery (like chemotherapy or radiation) can help people with a rare and aggressive liver cancer called primary hepatic sarcomatoid carcinoma (PHSC). It only includes people who had surgery and no other cancer treatments before that.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06950827Recruiting
Recovery after right liver surgery for liver cancer
This trial looks at how well patients do after surgery to remove the right half of the liver for a specific type of liver cancer. It helps doctors understand what leads to the best recovery after this operation.

Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1 day–1 month - NCT04611113Recruiting
Nutrition support to help tolerance of cancer chemoradiotherapy

You may be eligible if you are starting or will have curative or extra (adjuvant) chemoradiotherapy and can complete study measurements.
PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06207734RecruitingPhase 2
Stopping CDK4/6 inhibitors in advanced breast cancer
This trial looks at what happens when women with advanced hormone-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer stop taking a CDK4/6 inhibitor after at least a year of successful treatment. The goal is to see if it's safe to take a break from the CDK4/6 inhibitor while continuing hormone therapy alone.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT04625023Recruiting
Study of breast cancer biology using mechanics in the body
This trial looks at how breast cancer works in the body, using new “mechanics” measurements to better guide treatment. It may be most helpful if you have (or may have) breast cancer and can take part in study visits and procedures.
