LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06081517Recruiting
Study of fairness in genetic cancer testing
This study looks at how well precision medicine (treatments based on your tumor's genes) is used for people with cancer. Researchers want to see if there are differences in who gets this kind of testing and treatment, so they can make it more fair for everyone.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06081400Recruiting
Freezing vs. medication for growing desmoid tumors
This trial compares freezing the tumor (cryoablation) with standard medication for people with desmoid tumors that have grown or caused more symptoms. It aims to see which approach works better when the tumor is not in the belly.
BesançonAges 13 years+ - NCT06081959RecruitingPhase 3
Study of SKB264 for advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug called SKB264 for people with a common type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-) that has spread or come back and has not responded to at least one round of chemotherapy. It aims to see if this treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06081478RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted CAR-T cell therapy for advanced lymphoma or leukemia
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T) that targets two proteins on cancer cells—CD19 and CD22—to treat lymphoma or leukemia that has come back or not responded to standard treatment. It aims to see if this two-target approach works better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 14–85 - NCT06081647Recruiting

Penpulimab plus chemo before and after surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of penpulimab (an immunotherapy drug) and chemotherapy before and after surgery for head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve treatment outcomes for people with resectable (removable by surgery) cancers.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06082102RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing orelabrutinib and lenalidomide with rituximab for MZL
This study tests two different drug combinations for people with marginal zone lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to previous treatment. One group gets orelabrutinib plus rituximab, and the other gets lenalidomide plus rituximab, to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
Bengbu, AuhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06082284Recruiting
M protein detection study for adult patients
This study is looking for adults at Zhujiang Hospital to test a new, highly sensitive method for detecting a protein called M protein in the blood. It helps doctors understand how common this protein is in different patients.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06082180RecruitingPhase 3
Preventive neck lymph node removal in low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It compares two surgical approaches: one that removes just the thyroid gland, and another that also removes some lymph nodes in the center of the neck as a preventive measure. The goal is to see if removing these lymph nodes helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06082492Recruiting
PET/CT scans for follow-up of stage III lung cancer
This trial is testing whether adding a PET/CT scan to routine follow-up care helps patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this extra imaging can detect any return of cancer earlier, which may help with treatment decisions.
Hilversum, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06082349Recruiting
LVA surgery vs sham for cancer-related lymphedema
This study tests a surgery called lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) against a sham (placebo) surgery to see if it helps reduce swelling in people with lymphedema caused by cancer treatment. It is for patients with early-stage lymphedema in one arm or leg that hasn't improved with standard care.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06082648Recruiting
Brain and bowel recovery after ultra-low rectal cancer surgery
This trial studies how a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) and brain scans (fMRI) might help improve bowel function and quality of life after surgery for ultra-low rectal tumors. It is for patients who have had a specific surgery (intersphincteric resection) and a temporary ileostomy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06082804Recruiting
Nurse-led management for chronic myeloid leukemia
This trial tests whether having a specially trained nurse manage your care can improve outcomes for people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who take oral medication. It may be a good fit if you are starting or changing oral therapy.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT06082765Recruiting
Cervical cancer screening with menstrual blood test
This trial tests if a new DNA test (NGS-HPV) using menstrual blood can detect HPV and help screen for cervical cancer. You may participate if you have regular periods and plan to get cervical screening.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 20–60 - NCT06082947Recruiting
Stem cell transplant with special cell depletion for children and young adults
This trial tests a type of stem cell transplant that removes certain immune cells (alpha-beta T cells and CD19 B cells) from the donor cells. This may help prevent graft-versus-host disease and other complications in patients with blood cancers who do not have a matched sibling donor.
Columbus, OhioAges Up to 30 years - NCT06083207RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IBI3003 for multiple myeloma that has returned or not responded
This trial tests an investigational drug called IBI3003 in people with multiple myeloma that has come back or hasn't responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Wollongong, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06083103Recruiting
PET/MRI for advanced cervical cancer
This trial uses a combined PET and MRI scan to see if it can better identify the spread of cervical cancer before treatment. It may help guide more personalized care.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06083883RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy targeting NY-ESO-1 for sarcomas
This trial tests a new kind of immune therapy using your own natural killer (NK) cells that are specially trained to find and attack cancer cells that have the NY-ESO-1 target. It is for people with certain sarcomas or other advanced solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatments.
