New drug combo for T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (LP-118, ponatinib, vincristine, and dexamethasone) for people with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma that has returned or not responded to prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06207032Recruiting

Paclitaxel into the belly for appendix cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug (paclitaxel) given directly into the belly for people whose appendix cancer has spread inside the belly and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps shrink tumors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06207734RecruitingPhase 2
Stopping CDK4/6 inhibitors in advanced breast cancer
This trial looks at what happens when women with advanced hormone-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer stop taking a CDK4/6 inhibitor after at least a year of successful treatment. The goal is to see if it's safe to take a break from the CDK4/6 inhibitor while continuing hormone therapy alone.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06207799RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo before and after transplant for high-risk myeloma
This trial tests a two-step approach for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk multiple myeloma who are eligible for a stem cell transplant. You'll get a drug called elranatamab before transplant to 'purge' the cancer, and then after transplant, you'll get maintenance therapy guided by how well your cancer is controlled. The goal is to see if this reduces the chance of the cancer coming back.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06207656RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy for BRAF V600E mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests if combining three targeted drugs (cetuximab, encorafenib, and binimetinib) before surgery can shrink or control cancer in people with a specific BRAF V600E mutation and a stable (MSS) tumor. It focuses on colorectal cancer that is either already able to be removed or could become removable with treatment.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06207812Recruiting
Skin Condition in Youth: Long-Term Study
This study looks at the long-term health of people who were diagnosed with a rare skin lymphoma (mycosis fungoides) or a related skin condition (lymphomatoid papulosis) before age 20. Researchers want to learn how these conditions affect people over time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06207864Recruiting
Cancer gene study for American Indians
This study looks at the genes of tumors from American Indian adults with cancer to learn more about the disease. It aims to improve understanding and treatment for this community.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT06207981RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two treatment plans for advanced anal cancer
This trial tests if giving chemotherapy before standard chemoradiation works better than standard chemoradiation alone for people with locally advanced anal cancer that has not spread. It aims to improve treatment outcomes.
AgenAges 18 years+ - NCT06208826RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy maintenance after surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether continuing immunotherapy can help keep cancer from coming back in people with head and neck cancer who had a good response to chemo-immunotherapy before surgery. You would have already had surgery, and now the study tests a maintenance treatment to strengthen your immune system's fight against any remaining cancer cells.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06208462RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for high-risk bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy directly into the liver artery, an immunotherapy drug, and a targeted therapy pill before surgery for a type of bile duct cancer that has a high chance of coming back. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients whose cancer is still removable but has certain high-risk features.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06208397Recruiting
MRI study to understand liver tumor growth patterns
This trial uses MRI scans to study how colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver grows. It may help doctors choose better treatments.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT06209099Recruiting
Organ preservation first for low-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests a strategy to avoid surgery by using watchful waiting after initial treatment for early-stage rectal cancer. It may help patients keep their rectum and avoid a permanent colostomy.
Beijing, Haidian DistrictAges 18–85 - NCT06208657RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer therapy for kids and teens
This trial tests personalized cancer treatments for children and teens whose cancer has not responded to standard therapy. It uses information from precision medicine studies to match the right drug to each child's tumor.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges birth–21 years - NCT06208735RecruitingPhase 1
CLIC-2201 for relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers
This early-phase trial tests a new treatment called CLIC-2201 for people whose B-cell lymphoma or leukemia has not responded to other treatments or has come back. It aims to see if this therapy can help when other options have failed.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 1 year+ - NCT06209294RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo before fertility-sparing surgery for cervical cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (AK104) and standard chemotherapy before surgery for a certain type of early-stage cervical cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink the tumor enough to allow fertility-preserving surgery, so you may be able to keep your uterus.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT06209606RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Blood test study for multiple myeloma progression
This study is testing whether a blood test that measures a protein called BCMA can help doctors know if your multiple myeloma is getting worse. You may be able to join if your myeloma has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments, and you have not taken the drug Ruxolitinib before.
West Hollywood, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06209580RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
