Brain radiation for SCLC with brain metastases
This trial tests a new radiation approach for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It combines whole-brain radiation that avoids the memory centers, followed by focused radiation to the tumors, while you also receive standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06243393RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sacituzumab govitecan for advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a drug called sacituzumab govitecan for people with metastatic colorectal cancer who have already tried several standard treatments. It may be an option if your cancer is not MSI-H or dMMR and you haven't had irinotecan recently.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06244264Recruiting
Using your own blood during spine surgery for lung cancer
This study tests the safety and effectiveness of using your own blood (collected before surgery) during spine surgery for lung cancer that has spread to the backbone. It may help people whose spine is unstable or causing nerve problems.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06243588Recruiting
Looking back at Ewing sarcoma treatments to guide future care
This study looks at past patient records to understand what factors affect outcomes and how radiation therapy (high-energy beams to kill cancer cells) helps people with Ewing sarcoma. If you were treated for this bone cancer in the past, your data could help improve treatment for others.
Bologna, BOAges 2 years+ - NCT06244771RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing FMC-376 for KRAS G12C mutated solid tumors
This study tests a new targeted pill called FMC-376 for people whose cancer has a specific KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth when other treatments have stopped working.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06244004RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided radiation for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (FDG-PET) to find and treat only the spots where cancer has spread with targeted radiation can help men with prostate cancer that has spread but still responds to hormone therapy. It compares standard treatment alone to standard treatment plus this targeted radiation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06244355Recruiting
Study of immune cells in lung cancer and COPD
This study examines how certain white blood cells behave in people with lung cancer or COPD. It aims to better understand the immune response, which could help develop new treatments.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06244225RecruitingPhase 2
Triple therapy for advanced liver cancer (HAIC + sintilimab + donafenib)
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery: a targeted oral drug (Donafenib), an immunotherapy (Sintilimab), and a type of chemotherapy given directly into the liver artery. The goal is to see if this triple therapy works better than current options for people who have not had any prior cancer treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06244368RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo combo for relapsed aggressive lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (GVM, with or without rituximab) for people whose aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma has returned or not responded to standard treatment. It aims to find a new option that might work when others have stopped working.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06245343Recruiting
Breathing exercise study for lung cancer survivors
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise (functional inspiratory muscle training) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. If you are between 18 and 80, have completed your lung cancer treatment, and are now in remission, this program may improve your breathing and strength.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–80 - NCT06245356RecruitingPhase 2
A safety trial of trifluridine/tipiracil for DPD-deficient patients
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug (trifluridine/tipiracil) in people with metastatic colorectal or gastroesophageal cancer who have a DPD deficiency. DPD deficiency means your body may have trouble breaking down certain chemotherapy drugs, which can lead to serious side effects. This study aims to see if this drug is safe and effective for you.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06245330RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AST-001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing a new drug called AST-001 for people with advanced solid tumors (including pancreatic cancer) that have not responded to standard treatments. The study aims to find the right dose and see how well the drug works.
Changchun, JinlinAges 18–70 - NCT06245889RecruitingPhase 2
PET-Guided Therapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This trial tests whether a special PET scan can help guide the best combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery for patients with triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to personalize treatment and improve outcomes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06245603Recruiting
Testing Hydeal Cyst with standard treatment for bladder cancer
This study tests a bladder instillation called Hydeal Cyst, given alongside standard BCG or MMC therapy, to see if it helps reduce side effects or improve outcomes for people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT06245629Recruiting
Comparing two drug combos for relapsed multiple myeloma
This trial looks at two different drug combinations given before a second stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma that has come back after first treatment. It aims to see if adding two extra drugs (bortezomib and bendamustine) to the standard drug (melphalan) works better than using the standard drug alone.
UppsalaAges 18 years+ - NCT06245746RecruitingPhase 1
Exosomes for low blood counts after chemo in leukemia
This trial tests whether umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes can help restore blood cell counts after chemotherapy in adults with acute myeloid leukemia who are in remission. It aims to reduce the risk of infection and bleeding while waiting for bone marrow recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–60 - NCT06246357RecruitingPhase 2
Testing adrenal gland function with a special scan
This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-PentixaFor) to check how well your adrenal glands are working if you have high aldosterone or cortisol levels. It helps doctors see if the glands are making too much hormone, which may guide treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06246448Recruiting
Robot vs open surgery for gallbladder cancer
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery to open surgery for people with gallbladder cancer that has been found after a gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which approach is better for the radical removal of remaining cancer.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06246162RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mitoxantrone liposome combo for high-risk multiple myeloma
This trial tests a liposomal form of mitoxantrone combined with other drugs for people with aggressive multiple myeloma (high-risk or spread outside the bone). The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer better.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT06246409Recruiting

EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT06247189Recruiting
ICOPE program for older adults with myeloma
This trial tests whether a program called ICOPE MONITOR, which uses a smartphone app or chatbot, can help older adults with multiple myeloma stay healthier and manage their care. It may be a good fit if you are 70+ and starting your first or second treatment.
ToulouseAges 70 years+ - NCT06247449Recruiting
MRI screening for brain metastases in aggressive breast cancer
This trial uses an MRI scan to look for early signs of breast cancer spreading to the brain in people with certain aggressive breast cancer types (triple-negative or HER2-positive) that are stage IIb or III. The goal is to find and treat brain metastases earlier, before they cause symptoms.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06247605RecruitingPhase 3
Study of AL8326 for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug called AL8326 for people with advanced small cell lung cancer who have already tried at least two other treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
