ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07032961Recruiting
Capsule camera screening for stomach issues
This study is testing a new, less invasive way to screen for stomach problems using a tiny capsule that you swallow. It's for older adults or those at higher risk of stomach cancer who live in Guangzhou.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 45 years+ - NCT07025889RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IBI343 plus sintilimab and chemo for gastric cancer
This trial tests a new combination of IBI343, sintilimab, and chemotherapy for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that hasn't been treated yet. It's for those whose tumors are CLDN18.2-positive and not HER2-positive.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06995105RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized mRNA Vaccine for Advanced Liver Cancer
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine made from your tumor's unique genetic markers. It is for people with advanced liver cancer who have not yet received any treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06722534Recruiting
Celecoxib to prevent polyps from growing in Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
This trial is testing if the medication celecoxib can stop or slow the growth of polyps in people with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS). It may help reduce the need for surgery and lower the risk of complications.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 8 years+ - NCT04084496RecruitingPhase 2
FOLFIRINOX chemo after surgery for pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether FOLFIRINOX given after pancreatic surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It focuses on people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who had their tumor completely removed and have no spread to distant organs.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–79 - NCT04850729Recruiting
Study links surgery medicines to the stomach tumor environment
This trial looks at how medicines given around the time of stomach cancer surgery may change the “tumor microenvironment,” which is the biology around the tumor. It may help doctors better understand which perioperative treatments work best for locally advanced, operable stomach cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04861558RecruitingPhase 3
Warm chemotherapy placed in the abdomen to treat colon cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether heating chemotherapy and delivering it directly into the abdomen (along with standard surgery for cancer spread) works better for colon cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. It may help control the cancer after surgery, especially when the spread is mainly in the abdomen (and possibly the liver or lungs).
AhmedabadAges 18–79 - NCT05071105Recruiting
Short-course radiation for early breast cancer in older women
This study looks at a brief type of radiation called SBRT given soon after starting hormone therapy for certain early breast cancers in women age 75 and older. It may help treat the cancer locally while aiming to be easier to receive than longer radiation schedules.
Rome, RomeAges 75 years+ - NCT05357768Recruiting
Research study of rare round cell sarcoma biology and outcomes
This study collects information and archived tumor samples from people with undifferentiated round cell sarcoma to better understand the disease. It may help future diagnoses and treatments by linking lab findings in tumor tissue to clinical outcomes.
Bologna, BOAges Any age - NCT05838066RecruitingPhase 3
KN026 plus HB1801 for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether taking KN026 with HB1801 as first treatment works better and is safe for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has come back or spread. It may help by improving tumor response and delaying progression compared with the study’s treatment plan.
Beijing, chaoyangAges 18 years+ - NCT06761287Recruiting
Choosing surgery after chemo for advanced rectal cancer
This study looks at patients with advanced rectal cancer who had treatment (chemotherapy or radiation) before surgery. They want to see if it's safe to avoid surgery in those who had a good response to initial treatment.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05805436RecruitingPhase 4
Laxatives before robotic prostate or kidney surgery
This trial tests whether giving a laxative before certain robotic urologic surgeries improves bowel function after surgery. It may help reduce constipation and related discomfort during recovery.
Iowa City, IowaAges 30–100 - NCT06208371RecruitingPhase 3
Local treatment vs. chemo for colorectal cancer with many liver spots
This trial tests whether treating all liver tumors with surgery, ablation, or radiation is better than continuing standard chemotherapy for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. It's for those whose liver tumors have been controlled by initial chemotherapy and are considered removable.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06148077Recruiting
Manual therapy for head and neck cancer survivors with jaw or shoulder issues
This study tests whether manual therapy (hands-on treatment) can improve mouth opening, swallowing, and movement in people who had head and neck cancer surgery or radiation. It may help if you have jaw stiffness, pain, or shoulder problems after treatment.
Temuco, CautinAges 18 years+ - NCT06421376RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo-immunotherapy before radiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This study tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before and after standard chemoradiation for people with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes with manageable side effects.
Anyang, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT06455358RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A new PET scan to find neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a new type of PET scan using a radioactive tracer called 61Cu-NODAGA-LM3 to detect neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The goal is to see if it works as well as or better than the standard scan. If you have a NET and need a scan for staging or treatment planning, you might be able to join.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06677879RecruitingPhase 2
Proton vs photon radiation for left-sided breast cancer
This study is comparing two types of radiation therapy—proton therapy and standard photon therapy—for people with left-sided breast cancer who need radiation after surgery. The goal is to find out which method best protects the heart while effectively treating the cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06757855RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A study of three drugs for advanced CML
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (olverembatinib, venetoclax, and azacitidine) for people with a fast-growing form of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) called blast phase. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the leukemia when it has moved to a more aggressive stage.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 15 years+ - NCT07019844Recruiting
PSMA PET scan for liver cancer staging
This trial tests if a special PET scan (PSMA PET) can better stage liver cancer that has not been treated yet and is at a moderate to advanced stage (BCLC B or C). It may help guide treatment decisions.
