Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06018714RecruitingPhase 2
Modified fruquintinib for colorectal cancer with liver metastases
This trial tests a modified version of the drug fruquintinib for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for those who have had successful liver-directed treatment (surgery, ablation, or radiation) and have no signs of cancer left, then finished chemotherapy without the cancer growing back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06018896RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C for late-stage pancreatic cancer quality of life
This trial is testing if high-dose vitamin C can improve quality of life for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has continued to grow after two previous treatments. It aims to see if vitamin C can help patients feel better and possibly slow the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06018935Recruiting
A study to improve total management of ovarian cancer
This study will track the health of people being treated for ovarian cancer at Sichuan Cancer Hospital. It aims to learn how to better manage all aspects of the disease.
ChengduAges Any age - NCT06019130RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) can help treat nasopharyngeal cancer in both children and adults. It is for people who have just been diagnosed and have not yet received any cancer treatment.
AachenAges 3 years+ - NCT06019468RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery Treatment for Advanced Thymic Cancer
This trial tests a new treatment given before surgery for people with advanced thymic carcinoma. It aims to shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06019455Recruiting
How patients participate in lung and esophageal cancer care
This study looks at how much patients with lung or esophageal cancer get involved in decisions about their care when they receive chemotherapy and radiation together. It aims to learn what helps or challenges patients in taking an active role.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06019702RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized mRNA vaccine for advanced digestive cancers
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine designed to target unique markers on your cancer cells. The vaccine is made just for you based on genetic testing of your tumor. It is for people with advanced digestive system cancers who have run out of standard options.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06019923Recruiting
Metabolic biomarkers study in newly diagnosed ovarian cancer
This study looks at certain substances in the body (called metabolic biomarkers) and how they relate to how well patients do after treatment. It is for women who have just been diagnosed with high-grade serous ovarian cancer and have not yet had any treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06020430Recruiting
Skipping routine radiation for advanced lung cancer after immunotherapy and chemo
This trial tests whether it is safe to skip routine radiation to the tumor bed in patients with stage III lung cancer that has responded well to immunotherapy and chemotherapy. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
