Huaier vs capecitabine to prevent colon cancer return
This study compares two medicines to prevent colorectal cancer from coming back after surgery: a traditional Chinese medicine called Huaier and a standard chemotherapy pill called capecitabine. It is for people with stage 2 colon cancer that was completely removed.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06959173Recruiting
Personalized treatment for fluid around the lungs
This study uses lab-grown miniature versions of your cancer cells (organoids) to find which treatment might work best for you. It's for people with fluid around the lungs caused by cancer (malignant pleural effusion).
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT04261244RecruitingPhase 3
Neoadjuvant radiation study for one-sided breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests a specific plan that combines chemotherapy (and sometimes targeted medicines) with radiation before surgery for one breast. It may help shrink breast cancer and improve treatment timing, based on how well tumors respond.
AhausAges 18 years+ - NCT05190094RecruitingPhase 2
Test blood-based laser scan to guide first-line breast cancer treatment
This Phase 2 study uses a specialized laser test on a blood sample to predict how well palbociclib plus letrozole or anastrozole will work. It’s for certain postmenopausal women with HER2-negative, hormone-receptor positive, advanced (stage IIIb/IV) breast cancer.
BlidaAges 18 years+ - NCT06686108RecruitingPhase 2
Medication combo to prevent lymphoma relapse after transplant
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (a demethylating agent and venetoclax) to help prevent high-risk T-cell lymphoma or leukemia from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It is for patients who have certain risk factors for relapse.
ShanghaiAges 14–55 - NCT05959720Recruiting
Teen-to-adult ALL study using a pediatric chemotherapy plan
This trial tests a treatment plan for newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in people ages 16 to 50. It aims to see how well a “pediatric-style” regimen works, but it only fits certain genetic and health profiles.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 16–50 - NCT06438822RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab) with three chemotherapy drugs for advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has already been treated with gemcitabine. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps control the cancer better.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06742411RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (XELOX), an immunotherapy drug (Sintilimab), and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for people with advanced or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this triple therapy helps shrink or control the cancer better than current options.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06960863Recruiting
Fibroscan to monitor immunotherapy in liver cancer
This study uses a special ultrasound (Fibroscan) to check how well immunotherapy is working for advanced liver cancer. It may help doctors see if the treatment is effective without needing a biopsy.
