XELOX plus fruquintinib and sintilimab for stomach cancer with liver or lymph node spread
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (XELOX), a targeted therapy (fruquintinib), and an immunotherapy (sintilimab) to shrink stomach cancer that has spread only to the liver or retroperitoneal lymph nodes. The goal is to make the cancer removable by surgery.
NanjinAges 18–75 - NCT06092125Recruiting
Brain disease imaging study with PET/MR scans
This trial uses advanced PET and MR scans to better understand and diagnose brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy, and brain tumors. It may help identify new ways to track these conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT06092450Recruiting
Using AI scans to predict bladder cancer treatment results
This trial uses an artificial intelligence model to analyze CT scans taken before bladder removal surgery. The goal is to see if the AI can predict outcomes for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06093438RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Toripalimab plus chemo for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug toripalimab with chemotherapy for women with locally advanced cervical cancer that has not been treated yet. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors before standard radiation therapy.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06092892RecruitingPhase 2
Upfront targeted lymph node removal for early breast cancer
This trial is for women age 45 and older with early ER-positive breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm. It tests a surgery approach where the main tumor and only a few key lymph nodes (rather than many) are removed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 45 years+ - NCT06092957RecruitingPhase 3
Reduced radiation after chemo-immunotherapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of radiation, with or without additional chemo-immunotherapy, works as well as the standard full-dose chemoradiation for people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer who had a complete response after initial chemo-immunotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06093061RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—tislelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and capecitabine (a chemo pill taken daily)—as maintenance therapy after initial chemotherapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can lower the chance of cancer coming back.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06093022Recruiting
Treatment options for breast cancer that has spread to the liver
This study looks at how breast cancer that has spread to the liver responds to different treatments, including surgery and medicines. The goal is to learn which approach works best for patients with this condition.
