TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05921812Recruiting
Blood tests for lymphoma using small RNA markers
This study looks at tiny blood molecules called microRNAs to see if they can help diagnose non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. If you are newly diagnosed and have no other cancers, your blood test results may be compared to known patterns to improve diagnosis.
SohagAges 18–75 - NCT05922345RecruitingPhase 3
Study drug vs docetaxel for advanced lung cancer after prior treatment
This Phase 3 trial compares AL2846 pills plus TQB2450 injections against standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You may qualify if your cancer has progressed after platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and if certain tumor genetic tests are negative.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05922553Recruiting
Using mukbang videos to boost appetite in kids with cancer
This study tests whether watching mukbang-style videos can improve appetite, nutrition, and quality of life in children who have had chemotherapy and still feel less hungry. It may help children eat better and feel better day to day during cancer treatment or recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 6–18 - NCT05922501RecruitingPhase 2
Test four medicines for relapsed multiple myeloma
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of medicines (isatuximab, belantamab mafodotin, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone) for multiple myeloma that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help by better controlling the myeloma after standard therapies have failed.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05924750RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a CD33-targeted drug for difficult AML
This Phase 1 trial tests BL-M11D1, a drug designed to target CD33 found on certain AML cells, in adults whose AML has come back or is hard to treat. If you qualify, you may be offered early access to a potential new option while researchers closely monitor safety and side effects.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05924841RecruitingPhase 2
Study drugs for advanced small cell lung cancer after prior treatments
This Phase 2 trial tests how well two study drugs (and a combination of them) work in people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It’s mainly for patients whose cancer has come back or who couldn’t tolerate at least some standard treatments, and it aims to see if treatment can shrink tumors and be tolerable.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT05926102Recruiting
Screening study for prostate cancer risk and access
This study looks at how genetic risk and regular screening can help find prostate cancer earlier. It may help you and other Veterans understand what screening is best for different risk levels and access needs.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55–69 - NCT05925764Recruiting
AI tool to help grade lung adenocarcinoma biopsies
This trial tests an artificial intelligence (AI) method that reads whole slide pathology images to classify how aggressive your lung adenocarcinoma is. It may help doctors diagnose the lung cancer grading system more accurately using existing lab slides after surgery.
Zunyi, GuizhouAges 18–85 - NCT05926063RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping antibiotics after 3 days for high-risk neutropenia
This study tests whether it is safe to stop broad antibiotics after 3 days in people at high risk of infection from low white blood cells (neutropenia) who are hospitalized with fever. It may reduce antibiotic exposure, while still watching closely to keep you safe.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 16 years+ - NCT05926336RecruitingPhase 4
Different anesthesia drugs during cancer surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia medicines to see how they may affect outcomes after surgery for certain primary cancers. You may be considered if you’re having planned (elective) surgery under general anesthesia and meet the safety and health criteria.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT05926492RecruitingPhase 2
Surufatinib plus chemotherapy before surgery for osteosarcoma
This Phase 2 trial studies whether surufatinib combined with chemotherapy given before surgery can shrink osteosarcoma and improve outcomes. It may help by attacking the tumor from more than one angle before the main treatment step.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 2–70 - NCT05926284Recruiting
Study of precision testing to guide treatment in advanced cancer
This study looks at how “precision medicine” testing on your tumor (or planning to do it) can help guide possible targeted treatments for advanced cancer. It is observational, meaning researchers mainly watch and record what happens as testing results become available.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05926700RecruitingPhase 2
Testing cadonilimab plus anlotinib for advanced soft tissue sarcoma
This Phase 2 study tests two medicines (cadonilimab and anlotinib) in people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma whose cancer grew after standard first treatment. It aims to see whether the combination can shrink tumors and improve safety.
HangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT05926726Recruiting
GPC3-targeted CAR-T for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a custom immune-cell treatment (CAR-T) that targets a marker called GPC3 in people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer). It’s for cases where standard treatments have not worked well, and the goal is to shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05927142RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Durvalumab plus rintatolimod for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding rintatolimod to durvalumab can improve outcomes for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if this combination can better activate the immune system against the cancer after initial chemotherapy.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05927571RecruitingPhase 1
Cevostamab and elranatamab combination study for relapsed myeloma
This Phase 1 trial tests whether combining two targeted antibody medicines—cevostamab and elranatamab—is safe and whether it shows signs of activity in people whose multiple myeloma has come back or not responded. It’s early-stage, so the main goal is safety, dosing, and how the medicines behave in the body.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05927519Recruiting
Compare a laryngoscope tool in obese vs nonobese men
This study compares how well a specific breathing tube placement tool (Airtraq) works in men who are obese versus men who are not, during planned surgeries. It may help improve the safety and ease of putting in a breathing tube.
IamitAges 18–80 - NCT05927584Recruiting

MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05927818Recruiting
Test a sentinel lymph node biopsy in early ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether taking a sample from the sentinel lymph node during surgery can help with staging early ovarian cancer. It may help doctors find spread to lymph nodes more accurately while limiting unnecessary lymph node removal in some cases.
Istanbul, TurkeyAges 18–90 - NCT05928429Recruiting
Cold treatment to prevent nerve pain from weekly paclitaxel
This trial tests whether cryotherapy (cooling the hands/feet during chemo) can prevent or lessen nerve pain caused by paclitaxel in people with early breast cancer. It may help you stay more comfortable and function better during treatment.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05929222RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation with or without an antibody for early follicular lymphoma
This study tests whether adding obinutuzumab (an antibody medicine) to local radiation works better than radiation alone in early-stage follicular lymphoma. It aims to improve disease control while keeping treatment safe.
Sassuolo, Modena (MO)Ages 18 years+ - NCT05929495RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin added to standard treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding metformin to the usual treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) can improve outcomes. It involves taking metformin after surgery along with standard care (the Stupp protocol).
