Propranolol plus immunotherapy and chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests adding a beta-blocker (propranolol) to a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and standard chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated before. The goal is to see if this new triple treatment helps shrink tumors better than chemo-immunotherapy alone.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT05980715RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing immunotherapy to radiation after successful treatment for head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether giving an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) after surgery is better than giving radiation therapy for people with advanced head and neck cancer who had a complete response to chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. The goal is to prevent the cancer from coming back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05981014RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune cells from lymph nodes for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether taking immune cells from your lymph nodes and giving them back to you can help shrink breast cancer that has not responded fully to initial chemotherapy. It is for women with HER2-negative breast cancer who have had stable disease after two cycles of a standard chemotherapy combination.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05980702RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing 2 vs 4 rounds of chemo-immunotherapy before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether 2 or 4 cycles of pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) plus carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel (chemotherapy) before surgery works better for people with advanced head and neck cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if fewer treatments are just as effective.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05981001RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Experimental cell therapy for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer
This study tests a new treatment for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. Doctors will take immune cells from lymph nodes near your tumor, grow them in a lab, and then give them back to you along with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This approach aims to help your body fight the cancer more effectively.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05981326Recruiting
Computer model to predict chemo response in early breast cancer
This study looks at how well a computer model can predict if breast cancer will completely respond to chemotherapy before surgery. It is for people with early-stage breast cancer who are about to start neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05982093RecruitingPhase 2
Elacestrant with or without triptorelin for premenopausal breast cancer
This trial tests a new hormone-blocking pill (elacestrant) with or without a shot that temporarily stops ovaries (triptorelin) for premenopausal women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. It aims to find a gentler treatment option before surgery.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 35 years+ - NCT05982223Recruiting
Integrative medicine for lymphoma survivors in early remission
This study explores how integrative medicine (such as nutrition, mind-body practices, or supplements) might help people recover and improve well-being after finishing lymphoma treatment. It is for patients who are in remission for less than one year.
HaifaAges 18 years+ - NCT05982691Recruiting
Asian data collection for CNS germ cell tumors
This trial is creating a consortium to collect data from Asian patients with CNS germ cell tumors. It helps researchers understand these tumors better and may lead to better treatments.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges Any age - NCT05982496RecruitingPhase 2
PET/MRI scan for certain breast cancer types
This trial is studying if a special PET/MRI scan using a tracer called 18F FES can help doctors decide the best treatment for people with Luminal A or hormone-receptor-positive lobular breast cancer. The scan looks at estrogen receptors to see if your cancer might respond to hormone therapy.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT05982561Recruiting
Testing a urine test for bladder cancer recurrence
This trial tests a new urine test (BCDx) to see if it can catch bladder cancer coming back in people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are already having regular check-ups. You would give a urine sample before your routine cystoscopy, and the results may help doctors monitor your cancer more easily.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05983159RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy for slow-flow or fast-flow vascular malformations
This trial tests two targeted medicines for people with certain types of vascular malformations (abnormal blood vessels). If you have a slow-flow malformation, you may receive alpelisib; if you have a fast-flow malformation, you may receive mirdametinib. Genetic testing is needed to see if your malformation has a specific change that these drugs target.
Parkville, VictoriaAges 2 years+ - NCT05984511Recruiting
Combined treatment for liver cancer with portal vein tumor thrombus
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy (atezolizumab/bevacizumab) and a type of internal radiation (I-125 seeds) to standard chemoembolization (TACE) can help people with liver cancer that has spread into the main liver blood vessel (portal vein). It aims to control the tumor and improve outcomes.

Study of PEP07 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new pill called PEP07 for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to or cannot tolerate standard treatments. The goal is to see if PEP07 can help shrink or control the cancer.
