Fuzhou, FujianAges 16–55 - NCT05991856Recruiting
Comparing ablation vs. surgery for adrenal tumors causing high blood pressure
This trial compares two treatments—ultrasound-guided ablation and laparoscopic adrenalectomy—for a type of adrenal tumor called aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) that causes high blood pressure and low potassium. The goal is to see which treatment works better for patients with a single, non-cancerous tumor.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05991895Recruiting
Iruplinalkib for ALK-positive lung cancer
This real-world study looks at how effective Iruplinalkib is for people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. It is open to patients who have already taken this drug, and will simply collect data from your regular medical care.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT05992220RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with or without radiation for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) with or without targeted radiation therapy for liver cancer that has invaded the major blood vessels of the liver. The goal is to see if adding radiation helps shrink tumors or slow the disease.
SeoulAges 20–79 - NCT05991947Recruiting
Blood test for early stomach cancer detection
This study is testing a new way to find stomach (gastric) cancer early using a simple blood test. It may help people who have just been diagnosed with stage I, II, or III stomach cancer and have not started treatment yet.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–100 - NCT05992363Recruiting
Comparing stents for malignant ureteral blockage
This trial tests whether using two newer stents (Tandem Polyurethane) works better than the standard single silicone stent for people whose urine tubes are blocked by cancer. The goal is to improve urine flow and relieve discomfort.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT05992532Recruiting
Study of rare enzyme disorders in monoclonal gammopathy or myeloma
This study looks for two rare inherited disorders—Gaucher disease and acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD)—in people who already have a blood condition like monoclonal gammopathy (abnormal protein) or multiple myeloma. If you have an enlarged spleen or low platelets, you may be eligible to help researchers understand if these rare diseases are more common in this group.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, AlavaAges 18–99 - NCT05992584RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib, sintilimab, and SIRT for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and sintilimab) plus a procedure called SIRT (radioactive beads) for people with liver cancer that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this triple approach works better than standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05992870Recruiting
Radiation before breast reconstruction with implants
This trial tests giving radiation therapy before surgery and immediate breast reconstruction using implants. It may help patients who need a mastectomy and know they will need radiation after.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05993923Recruiting
Geriatric team support for seniors having colorectal cancer surgery
This study tests whether a team of specialists (including a geriatric doctor) can help people aged 70+ recover better after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this approach improves your daily functioning and independence after the operation.
Nîmes, FranceAges 70 years+ - NCT05993910Recruiting
