Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07000084RecruitingPhase 3
Testing gemcitabine with BCG for returning bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug called gemcitabine to the usual BCG therapy can help prevent bladder cancer from coming back again. If you have had BCG before and your cancer returned, this study might offer a more effective treatment option.

BrECADD therapy for stage 2B to stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests a combination drug treatment called BrECADD for people with Hodgkin lymphoma that has certain risk factors or is in a more advanced stage (stage 2B, 3, or 4). It aims to see if this treatment works well and is safe.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–60 - NCT06993402Enrolling by invitation
Düsseldorf ESD Study
This study is testing the use of ESD, a procedure to remove abnormal tissue from your digestive tract using a thin, flexible scope. It may be an option if you need this procedure in your esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon, or rectum.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06999148Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing sonodynamic therapy with radiation and chemo for brainstem glioma
This trial tests whether adding sonodynamic therapy (a treatment that uses sound waves to activate a drug) before standard radiation and chemotherapy can help people with a type of brainstem glioma called DIPG. The goal is to see if this combination improves survival.
Zhengzhou, UndefinedAges Up to 75 years - NCT07002112RecruitingPhase 1
A trial of a dual-target CAR-T therapy for blood cancers
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to make your own immune cells attack two targets on cancer cells. It is for people with B-cell blood cancers that have come back or not responded to other treatments.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06996132RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for aggressive B-cell lymphoma that has returned
This trial tests a new combination approach for people whose aggressive B-cell lymphoma has come back or not responded to treatment. It uses a bispecific antibody (a type of drug that helps immune cells attack cancer cells) followed by CAR-T cell therapy (reprogramming your own immune cells to find and kill cancer), sometimes with a stem cell transplant.
TianjinAges 18–65 - NCT06993688Recruiting
How teens and families want to hear cancer news
This study looks at how teens and young adults with tough-to-treat cancers, and their families, want to hear news about their cancer. It will help doctors learn the best ways to share information during check-ups and scans.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 12 years+ - NCT06999694RecruitingPhase 2
Proton radiation with immunotherapy for liver cancer
This trial tests combining proton beam radiation with two immunotherapy drugs (tremelimumab and durvalumab) for people with intermediate or advanced liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Taoyuan City, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06997913Enrolling by invitation
Immunotherapy and chemoradiation after bile duct cancer surgery
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy with chemotherapy and radiation after surgery can help prevent bile duct cancer from coming back in people who have a high risk of recurrence.
XiAn, ShanxiAges 18–70 - NCT06997081RecruitingPhase 2
ERd combination for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (elranatamab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The goal is to see if this treatment can lead to a very deep response (no detectable cancer cells) in the bone marrow.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06997068RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for returning head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—methotrexate, erlotinib, and celecoxib—for people whose head and neck cancer has come back or spread. It is designed for patients in the rural Midwest who have already had or chosen not to have standard first treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06999837Recruiting
PSMA PET/CT scan for liver cancer (HCC)
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan (called PSMA) that may help doctors see liver cancer (HCC) better. The scan takes detailed images to track how the cancer behaves, which could help choose the best treatment.

BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07001709RecruitingPhase 4
How abiraterone affects oxycodone in prostate cancer
This study looks at how a common prostate cancer drug (abiraterone) affects how the body processes a painkiller (oxycodone). Men with prostate cancer who take abiraterone will be compared with those who do not, to see if the painkiller works differently.
