Optical-guided sentinel node biopsy for vulvar cancer staging
This trial tests a new optical method using a dye to find and remove the first lymph node (sentinel node) that cancer might spread to, to stage vulvar cancer more accurately. It's for patients with a smaller tumor (under 4 cm) that hasn't been treated in the groin area before.

Zanubrutinib and tafasitamab for mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests two targeted drugs, zanubrutinib and tafasitamab, for people with mantle cell lymphoma. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06029270RecruitingPhase 2
Adding relatlimab to standard immunotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called relatlimab to the usual immunotherapy (nivolumab) helps people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread. You will get standard chemotherapy plus nivolumab first, then if it works, you may be randomly assigned to get nivolumab alone or with relatlimab.
Dublin, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06029621Recruiting
Robot vs camera surgery for thymoma
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for thymoma: one using a robotic system and the other using a tiny camera (VATS). Both aim to remove the tumor with smaller cuts and faster recovery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06030011Recruiting
Using a digital tool for head and neck cancer patients
This trial uses a digital assessment tool to track symptoms and side effects in patients with head and neck cancer who are getting radiation therapy (with or without chemotherapy). The goal is to see if it helps improve care in both rural and urban areas.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06030440RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Lowering radiation after head and neck cancer surgery
This study tests whether giving a lower dose of radiation after surgery for head and neck cancer is as safe and effective as the standard dose. It aims to reduce side effects while still preventing the cancer from coming back.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06031285RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative immunotherapy plus TACE-HAIC for liver cancer with portal vein tumor thrombus
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab), a targeted anti-angiogenic drug (bevacizumab biosimilar), and liver-directed therapies (TACE-HAIC) before and after surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma that has spread to the portal vein. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes for patients with advanced but resectable liver cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06031181RecruitingPhase 3
Sublobar resection for early lung cancer found during surgery
This trial tests if a smaller surgery (sublobar resection) works well for patients with very early-stage lung cancer (adenocarcinoma in situ or minimally invasive adenocarcinoma) that is found during the operation. It may help avoid removing more lung tissue than necessary.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06031233RecruitingPhase 4
Shorter infusion times for cancer immunotherapy drugs
This trial tests if giving common immunotherapy drugs over a shorter time is safe. It may mean less time in the clinic for you.
ZwolleAges 18 years+ - NCT06031246RecruitingPhase 3
Lymph node surgery study for early-stage lung cancer in the upper lung
This trial tests whether a more focused lymph node removal during surgery is safe and effective for people with a small, early-stage lung cancer (non-small cell type) located in the top part of the lung (apical segment).
Shanghai, Please SelectAges 18–80 - NCT06031688RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for lung cancer with a MET gene change
This trial tests a targeted drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called MET exon 14 skipping. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth, and may help people who have or haven't had prior treatment.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 minutes+ - NCT06031636Recruiting
Virus therapy plus immunotherapy for advanced mesothelioma
This trial tests if injecting a cancer-killing virus directly into tumors, combined with an immunotherapy drug, can help people with advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma that hasn't responded to prior immunotherapy.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06032052RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for older adults with metastatic lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy for people 65 or older with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has not been treated before and expresses PD-L1. It aims to see if this treatment can help control the cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 65 years+ - NCT06032390Recruiting
AI in mammogram screening for breast cancer
This study tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help radiologists read mammograms (breast X-rays) more accurately during routine breast cancer screening. It aims to see if AI can catch more cancers early while reducing unnecessary follow-up exams.
