Pre-surgery treatment for liver cancer at high risk of return
This study tests a treatment given before surgery for liver cancer that is at high risk of coming back. You would receive a combination of chemotherapy directly into the liver artery (HAIC), a targeted pill (lenvatinib), and an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) — if a computer model predicts you might benefit.

SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT06497010RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized mRNA cancer vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine (InnoPCV) designed from your own tumor's genetic profile to train your immune system to fight advanced solid tumors. It is for people who have not had tumor vaccines or CAR-T therapy before and can provide a tumor sample for customized vaccine creation.
Guiyang, China/GuizhouAges 18–75 - NCT06562348RecruitingPhase 2
ctDNA monitoring test for metastatic GI cancer treatment
This trial tests whether using a ctDNA blood test along with standard CT scans can help guide treatment decisions for people with incurable metastatic gastrointestinal cancer. It may help doctors decide sooner whether a treatment is working.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT02047994RecruitingPhase 4
Testing and treatment for H. pylori to prevent stomach cancer death
This trial studies whether testing for an infection called H. pylori and using simple blood/screening tests (pepsinogen testing) can help prevent stomach cancer and reduce stomach-cancer-related deaths. You would be followed for health outcomes to see if the approach works better than standard care.
RigaAges 40–64 - NCT06954558RecruitingPhase 1
GK01 for advanced solid tumors that are hard to treat
This trial tests a new drug called GK01 in patients with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective, and may be an option for those who can have a tumor surgically removed.
TianjinAges 18–70 - NCT06300879Recruiting
New surgery technique for upper stomach or junction cancer
This study tests a new surgical technique for removing cancer in the upper stomach or where the stomach meets the esophagus. It aims to see if this technique is safe and effective for people with early-stage adenocarcinoma who haven't had other cancer treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06169163Recruiting
Breath test for esophageal squamous cell cancer
This study looks at chemicals in your breath to see if they can help detect a type of esophageal cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) early. You may join if you have untreated squamous cell esophageal cancer, or if you are having a routine endoscopy for stomach issues and your results are normal or show a benign condition.
London, Greater LondonAges 18–90 - NCT04375904RecruitingPhase 2
Stereotactic radiation for central lung tumors
This trial tests a precise, high-dose radiation treatment aimed at central lung tumors. It may help people who cannot have lung surgery and whose tumors can be safely targeted near sensitive organs.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT07162038RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cells plus half-matched stem cell transplant for high-risk blood cancer
This trial tests giving special immune cells (CAR-T cells) that target a protein called CD19 on cancer cells, followed by a half-matched stem cell transplant, to treat high-risk blood cancers. The treatment aims to improve outcomes by using the CAR-T cells to reduce disease before the transplant.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT04833426RecruitingPhase 3
Testosterone levels around prostate surgery and recovery outcomes
This trial studies whether testosterone levels before and around radical prostate surgery affect cancer control and sexual/physical recovery. It may help doctors understand who benefits from testosterone replacement and who should not.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05658172Recruiting
Less vs more frequent follow-up after early breast cancer
This trial compares standard follow-up visits versus more intensive follow-up for people with early breast cancer after their main treatment. The goal is to see whether closer monitoring finds problems earlier or improves outcomes.
UlmAges 18–75 - NCT05621837Recruiting
Biomarker study to guide treatment for several advanced cancers
This study measures how strongly your immune system is being suppressed and uses that information to help personalize cancer treatment. It mainly looks at people with certain advanced cancers and needs tumor tissue and follow-up to check possible immune-related markers.
