Laparoscopic vs open total gastrectomy for advanced stomach cancer
This trial compares two types of surgery for stomach cancer that has grown into deeper layers but has not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see if a keyhole (laparoscopic) approach is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery.
Bien Hoa, Dong NaiAges 18–80 - NCT06202131Recruiting

Predicting cancer spread with a new imaging tool
This trial tests if a special imaging analysis can predict where your cancer might spread. It's for people with advanced lung, colorectal, or breast cancer who are starting or continuing treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06202261RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of TQB2930 for breast cancer that has returned or spread
This trial tests a new drug called TQB2930 alone or with other treatments for people with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. It may help if you have a type of breast cancer called HER2-positive and have not had many prior treatments for advanced disease.

NYSCF Scientific Discovery Biobank
This study collects blood, saliva, or skin samples from people with certain neurological conditions and from healthy volunteers to help researchers better understand and find treatments for these diseases.
New York, New YorkAges 4 weeks+ - NCT06203314Recruiting
Epstein-Barr virus and cancer risk study
This study looks at how Epstein-Barr virus (a common virus) may be linked to cancer risk. If you live in Zhongshan or Wuzhou City and are generally healthy, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more.
Zhongshan, GuangdongAges 30–69 - NCT06203327Recruiting
Can atrophic gastritis predict stomach cancer risk?
This trial studies whether a condition called atrophic gastritis (thinning of the stomach lining) can help predict who is more likely to develop stomach cancer. It may help with early detection and prevention.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06203496Recruiting
Monitoring brain tumors with blood tests
This trial studies whether a blood test can track the progress of a type of brain tumor called a grade 4 diffuse glioma. It may offer a less invasive way to monitor these tumors after surgery.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT06203652Recruiting
Study of lymphoma causes and outlook
This study looks at why lymphoma happens and what factors affect how well people do. It collects information from patients diagnosed between 2007 and 2027 to better understand the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06203574Recruiting
TROP-2 PET/CT Scan for Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis
This study tests a new PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (TROP-2) to take pictures of solid tumors, like colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors find and diagnose cancer more accurately.
ShanghaiAges 18–65 - NCT06204094RecruitingPhase 2
Preserving the anus with chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation before surgery for patients with middle or low rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to avoid removing the anus, preserving bowel function.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06204484Recruiting
MRD-guided Chemo Timing for Early Colon Cancer
This trial is for people with early-stage colon cancer (stage II high-risk or stage III low-risk) that is not MSI-H. It uses a blood test (MRD) to see if you can safely delay or skip extra chemotherapy after surgery, based on whether the test finds any leftover cancer cells.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06204835RecruitingPhase 1
ITGA6-targeted dye for liver cancer surgery guidance
This trial uses a special dye that lights up during surgery to help doctors see and remove liver cancer cells that have a specific protein (ITGA6). It aims to make surgery more precise and effective.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06204991RecruitingPhase 1
T-cell therapy for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new treatment called ADP-TILIL7 for people with advanced melanoma. It uses your own immune cells (T-cells) that are taken from a tumor, multiplied in a lab, and then given back to you to fight the cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and works better than standard options.
HerlevAges 18–75 - NCT06205472RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after liver cancer surgery with narrow margins
This trial tests whether adding a type of radiation (SIB radiotherapy) after liver cancer surgery can improve outcomes for patients whose tumors were removed with very narrow clear margins (less than 1 cm). It may help reduce the chance of cancer coming back in the remaining liver.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06205849RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug and procedure for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called mitazalimab injected directly into the tumor, combined with a special electrical procedure that kills cancer cells. It is for people whose pancreatic cancer has not spread but cannot be removed by surgery.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06205836RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab with or without Fianlimab for MSI-H Colorectal Cancer in Older Patients
This trial tests a new immunotherapy combination for older patients with a specific type of colorectal cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if these drugs can help the immune system fight the cancer without needing surgery or standard chemotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06205927RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon Ion Boost for Advanced Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy (carbon ion boost) to people with advanced, inoperable lung cancer. The goal is to see if targeting the most aggressive parts of the tumor with a higher dose can improve outcomes.
