PD-1 Inhibitor and Radiation for Elderly Esophageal Cancer
This trial tests whether combining a PD-1 inhibitor (a type of immunotherapy) with radiation therapy can help older adults (70+) with esophageal squamous cell cancer who cannot have surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for those with limited options.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 70 years+ - NCT06186856Recruiting
Mast cell disease study in France
This study collects health information from people living in France who have a mast cell disease (like mastocytosis or mast cell activation syndrome). It aims to better understand these conditions by tracking who is affected and how they are doing.
AmiensAges Any age - NCT06187597RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab after chemoradiation for older esophageal cancer
This study tests whether adding a drug called toripalimab after standard chemoradiation can help older adults with esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment can keep the cancer from coming back after initial therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 70–85 - NCT06187441RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a treatment break in multiple myeloma
This trial is for people with multiple myeloma who have already completed 12 cycles of a standard treatment (daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) and are doing well. It tests whether taking a break from treatment is safe and effective, instead of continuing without a break.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT06187870Recruiting
Biobank for urological and cancer research
This study collects blood, urine, and tissue samples from patients with urological diseases or cancers to build a biobank for future research. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and develop new treatments.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT06188650Recruiting
New drug combo for advanced lung cancer after two treatments fail
This trial tests a combination of a targeted chemotherapy bead injection into lung arteries, an oral anti-cancer drug, and an immunotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to two prior treatments. It aims to see if this triple approach can help patients who have limited options left.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06189209RecruitingPhase 2
Tenalisib for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a drug called Tenalisib in people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who have already tried 1 to 3 chemotherapy treatments. It aims to see if Tenalisib can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Vijayawada, Andhra PradeshAges 18 years+ - NCT06188741RecruitingPhase 2
Selumetinib to prevent tumor growth in NF1 children
This study tests whether the drug selumetinib can prevent the growth of plexiform neurofibromas (nerve tumors) in young children with NF1. Children are first monitored with MRI scans, and if a tumor appears or grows, they may receive treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–8 - NCT06189391RecruitingPhase 1
Testing CN201 for people with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma
This study tests a new drug called CN201 (also known as MK-1045) for people with certain types of B-cell lymphoma that have come back or not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink or control the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06189898Recruiting
Using scans to find radiation-sensitive esophageal cancer
This study tests whether a special imaging scan (functional imaging) can identify which esophageal cancers respond best to radiation. If you have stage II–IVA esophageal cancer and meet the health criteria, joining may help personalize your treatment.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06190847Recruiting
Oral bacteria and response to chemoradiotherapy in esophageal cancer
This study looks at how the bacteria in your mouth might affect how well chemoradiotherapy (a combination of chemotherapy and radiation) works for esophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if the oral microbiome can predict treatment response.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–85 - NCT06190275Recruiting
Immune cell therapy for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (GT201) combined with a PD-1 inhibitor for advanced head and neck cancer. It aims to see if your own immune cells, collected from your tumor, can be boosted to fight the cancer.
