ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05926284Recruiting
Study of precision testing to guide treatment in advanced cancer
This study looks at how “precision medicine” testing on your tumor (or planning to do it) can help guide possible targeted treatments for advanced cancer. It is observational, meaning researchers mainly watch and record what happens as testing results become available.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05938309Recruiting
Safety study of laparoscopic surgery for large stomach GISTs
This study looks at how safe laparoscopic surgery is for stomach GISTs that are 5 cm or larger. If you’re eligible and choose to participate, your team will plan and perform surgery and track safety outcomes.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05570227Recruiting
Study metabolism in melanoma using a glucose tracer
This study looks at how melanoma cells and the body use sugar by collecting tissue samples and, for some people, giving a labeled glucose infusion. It may help researchers understand melanoma “metabolic” patterns and how they relate to cancer behavior.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05928429Recruiting
Cold treatment to prevent nerve pain from weekly paclitaxel
This trial tests whether cryotherapy (cooling the hands/feet during chemo) can prevent or lessen nerve pain caused by paclitaxel in people with early breast cancer. It may help you stay more comfortable and function better during treatment.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05931263RecruitingPhase 3
Tested Chi-BEAM vs BEAM before stem cell transplant for lymphoma
This Phase 3 study compares two chemotherapy schedules (Chi-BEAM vs BEAM) given before an autologous stem cell transplant to treat newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma that responded to first-line treatment. If you fit the lab and heart/lung requirements, it may offer access to a new treatment approach designed to improve outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT05935189Recruiting
Hepatocellular cancer tissue registry for Armenian patients
This study builds a tissue (sample) registry for people with liver cancer to help researchers learn more and improve future care. It’s mainly about confirming your diagnosis and collecting consent for using your biopsy tissue.
YerevanAges Any age - NCT05931328RecruitingPhase 2
Thiotepa plus pomalidomide for recurrent brain lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination medicine (thiotepa plus pomalidomide) for people whose primary central nervous system lymphoma has come back or did not respond to prior chemotherapy. It may help shrink lymphoma in the brain/spinal fluid and improve disease control.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05934032Recruiting
Genomic medicine for non-surgical lung cancer
This trial is part of a lung cancer network that uses genetic (DNA) testing to better understand and treat non-surgical lung cancer. You might be eligible if you have certain stages of non-small cell lung cancer and can consent to participate.
CologneAges 18 years+ - NCT05940532RecruitingPhase 2
Sutimab plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer needing radiation
This trial tests a cancer-fighting antibody (sugemalimab) added to standard chemotherapy for stage III lung cancer that can’t be removed by surgery but may be treated with radiation. It aims to improve control of your cancer while checking safety and side effects.
ChangshaAges 18–75 - NCT05430399RecruitingPhase 3
Utidelone vs docetaxel for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial compares utidelone with docetaxel in people with HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It aims to see which treatment works better and is safer for controlling the cancer and helping patients live longer.
Guangzhou, GangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05939661RecruitingPhase 2
Total treatment before surgery for early rectal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a “total neoadjuvant” approach, meaning you receive cancer treatment before surgery, to improve safety and effectiveness for rectal cancer. It may help by shrinking the tumor and planning a more effective operation, while researchers carefully track side effects.
OsakaAges 18 years+ - NCT05940441Recruiting
Low-dose capecitabine after throat cancer treatment
This study tests whether low-dose capecitabine given after standard treatment can lower the chance that locoregional (nearby) throat cancer returns. It is designed for adults with advanced hypopharyngeal (throat) cancer who have finished curative chemoradiation or surgery and follow-up therapy and show no active cancer on exam.
ShanghaiAges 18–65 - NCT02193841RecruitingPhase 3
Treating simple bone cysts in children with new bone support
This study looks at how well a treatment works for children with a simple bone cyst in an arm or leg. The goal is to prevent problems like fractures while the cyst heals, using a stabilizing implant in the bone.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2–21 - NCT05965115Recruiting
Screening study for family members of multiple myeloma patients
This trial screens first-degree relatives of people with multiple myeloma to check for early signs of the disease before symptoms. It may help doctors understand risk in families and find problems sooner if they occur.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05941338RecruitingPhase 2
Tirelizumab plus chemotherapy before head and neck surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests tirelizumab combined with two chemotherapy medicines before surgery for certain head and neck squamous cell cancers. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes after the operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT03563729RecruitingPhase 2
Melanoma in the brain: steroids plus targeted therapy
This Phase 2 trial studies how giving steroid medicine for brain swelling may help people with melanoma that has spread to the brain, and whether adding a targeted approach works for a specific genetic tumor type. It may help shrink brain tumors and improve symptoms, while comparing how patients respond.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05443841Recruiting
Pleural lavage test to guide surgery in resectable esophageal cancer
This trial studies whether washing fluid from around the lungs (pleural lavage) can show cancer cells and help predict outcomes for people with operable esophageal cancer. It may add useful information before surgery to support better treatment decisions.
Hefei, AnhuiAges Any age - NCT05837052RecruitingPhase 2
Serplulimab plus chemo after initial treatment for lung cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at how safe and effective serplulimab (an immune medicine) combined with chemotherapy is when used as a “conversion” plan—first shrinking lung cancer, then trying to remove the main tumor with surgery. It may help some people who are not initially good candidates for surgery or focused radiation to become eligible after treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05943379RecruitingPhase 2
RC48 antibody plus gemcitabine for high-risk bladder cancer
This Phase 2 study tests RC48, an antibody-based drug, combined with gemcitabine to treat high-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has not responded well to BCG or cannot receive BCG. It may help shrink tumors and reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05945407Recruiting
Fertility-sparing treatment for early endometrial cancer
This trial looks at a fertility-preserving treatment plan for people with early-stage endometrial cancer who want to keep the ability to have children. It may help you avoid surgery that removes fertility, if you meet the trial’s safety and eligibility rules.
