Monitor HPV DNA in throat cancer to guide early response
This study checks a substance called HPV DNA in your blood to see how your HPV-positive throat cancer responds early during treatment. It may help doctors spot who is responding well and who may need closer attention sooner.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05857800Recruiting
Studying how lung tumor treatment affects the tumor environment
This trial studies how “before-surgery” (neoadjuvant) lung cancer treatments change the tumor environment by monitoring patients during care. It may help doctors better choose therapies and predict who benefits from treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT04370496Recruiting
Testing minimally invasive endoscopic stapler surgery for early cervix cancer
This trial tests how safe a specific minimally invasive surgery tool (an endoscopic stapler) is for people with early-stage cervical cancer. If you qualify, you would get surgery to remove the cervix area using a minimally invasive approach and the study will track safety outcomes.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT05899621Recruiting
Study of obinutuzumab-based treatment for untreated follicular lymphoma
This real-world study looks at how well obinutuzumab-based treatment works for people with newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma. It is meant for patients whose cancer is measurable on scans and who are eligible for specific standard treatment combinations.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05432739Recruiting
Test a lung nodule blood/scan marker to find early cancer
This study looks at whether a new test can better identify early lung cancer in people who are being watched for an incidental lung nodule. It may help doctors decide which nodules need closer follow-up or treatment.
Goodmayes, EssexAges 18 years+ - NCT05912972Recruiting
Registry study for women with gynecologic cancers
This is a research study that builds a registry (a record) of women in Korea with cervical, endometrial, or ovarian cancer. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and plan future studies.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT04020575RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells made from your blood for advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests CAR T cells made from your own immune cells to target advanced breast cancer. The cells are designed to recognize a specific cancer marker (called MUC1*), with the goal of shrinking tumors or keeping them under control.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04979078Recruiting
Light therapy to ease chemotherapy hand-foot skin reaction
This study tests whether a light-based therapy (photobiomodulation) can reduce pain and skin irritation from hand-foot syndrome/hand-foot skin reaction in people getting chemotherapy or targeted medicines. It may help you heal sooner and feel more comfortable while treatment continues.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT03919552RecruitingPhase 3
Chemoradiation with two cisplatin or carboplatin plans for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two chemotherapy-and-radiation combinations (cisplatin-based vs carboplatin-based) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help researchers find which plan works best while balancing safety and effectiveness.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–64 - NCT05909436RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study GLS-012 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an immunotherapy drug called GLS-012, alone and with another drug (GLS-010), in people with advanced solid cancers that have worsened despite standard treatment. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is, especially when given in different combinations.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05909293Recruiting
Venetoclax maintenance for older adults with AML in remission
This study tests whether “maintenance” treatment with venetoclax can help older adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stay in remission after initial therapy. It may help delay the return of AML, especially in people who achieved first complete remission.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 60–85 - NCT05753839Recruiting
Testing surgery plus immunotherapy for metastatic kidney cancer
This trial studies whether removing the kidney tumor (cytoreductive nephrectomy) before treatment can improve outcomes for people with metastatic clear-cell kidney cancer. All participants are expected to receive standard immunotherapy (nivolumab plus ipilimumab), and the study focuses on the role of surgery in the “immuno-oncology era.”
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05058183Recruiting
Testing shorter chemotherapy for early HER2 or triple‑negative breast cancer
This study looks at whether some people with stage 1 HER2-positive or “triple-negative” breast cancer may safely need less (de-escalated) chemotherapy after surgery. The goal is to keep the cancer risk low while reducing treatment intensity, using special blood testing over time.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05904964RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted drug for hormone-positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests disitamab vedotin (a targeted drug) in people with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer that can’t be cured with surgery or radiation. It aims to see whether the drug can control the cancer better than current standard care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05911464RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug HS-10386 for advanced solid tumor cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests HS-10386 (an experimental treatment) in people with advanced solid tumors that can’t be cured with standard options. The goal is to find a safe dose and see how the cancer responds.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05916755Recruiting
Testing tumor clues that predict response to immunotherapy
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or tumor clues, that may help predict who benefits from checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer. It may help doctors choose the right treatment approach in the future, especially when chemotherapy is planned.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05917431RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus immunotherapy and targeted pills for liver cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination of SBRT (focused radiation) plus tislelizumab and regorafenib can control unresectable or limited-spread liver cancer. It may help by attacking tumors in the liver and immune system to improve shrinkage and control of disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05253872Recruiting
Danish study to track early melanoma after surgery
This study tests a new way to monitor people after surgery for early-stage melanoma. If you qualify, it may help your doctors watch for changes sooner or more accurately during follow-up.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT03435042Recruiting
Hypnosis group program to help children with cancer and parents
This trial tests a hypnosis-based group program to improve quality of life for children with cancer and their parents. You may join if your family speaks French and the child is aged 8–18 and has cancer (or has a sibling with cancer).
LiègeAges 8 years+ - NCT05883852RecruitingPhase 3
HER2-positive breast cancer trial for women with lymph node spread
This Phase 3 trial compares two post-surgery drug plans for HER2-positive early breast cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It may help reduce cancer recurrence by testing which regimen works better after surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05431530Recruiting
Quality of life after rectal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies how patients’ day-to-day quality of life changes after a specific type of rectal/low anterior resection during treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. It may help the medical team understand what symptoms and recovery needs to expect after surgery.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT04654338RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Two types of targeted radiation for favorable prostate cancer
This trial tests whether two “ablative” (high-dose, focused) radiation treatments can work well for men with favorable-risk prostate cancer. It looks at whether the treatments are practical and safe, especially for urinary side effects.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT05913089RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new lung cancer drug with chemotherapy or an anti-angiogenesis pill
This Phase 2 trial tests TQB2450 (a new cancer medicine) added to chemotherapy, or along with an oral medicine called anlotinib, for stage II–IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people who are getting curative surgery and have not had prior cancer drug treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05929365Recruiting
Test genetic marker tracking to find returning colon polyps
This study looks at stool or tissue DNA changes (called mutation analysis) plus colonoscopy findings to detect whether colon polyps come back. It may help catch recurrent colorectal lesions earlier during surveillance after a large polyp was removed.
