This study tests a targeted radiation “boost” delivered using an MRI-guided machine for certain gynecologic cancers when the usual treatment (brachytherapy) can’t be done. It may help improve control of the cancer while still aiming for cure.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT05846750RecruitingPhase 2
Obinutuzumab plus lenalidomide for relapsed marginal zone lymphoma
This trial studies whether obinutuzumab combined with lenalidomide can control marginal zone lymphoma that has come back or not responded to prior treatment. If you qualify, you may receive these medicines together to help shrink tumors and improve symptoms.
Tianjin, TianAges 18 years+ - NCT05952661Recruiting
Testing immune treatment after esophageal cancer therapy
This trial looks at how best to add an immunotherapy “extra” before, during, and after standard chemoradiation for stage II–III esophageal squamous cell cancer that can’t be operated on. It may help reduce cancer that remains after treatment by targeting immune cells.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT05950087Recruiting
Blood tests after chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer prognosis
This study looks at blood markers—tiny DNA from the blood (cfDNA) and minimal residual disease (MRD)—to better predict outcomes after standard chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may help doctors identify who is more likely to do well and who may need closer follow-up or additional treatment planning.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–75 - NCT03786003Recruiting
Compare two lung surgery approaches for stage I lung cancer
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS) works as well as the more open approach (thoracotomy) for certain early-stage lung cancers. It may help patients and surgeons choose the best operation method for tumors that can be fully removed.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05709769Recruiting
Radiation-related nutrition therapy guided by scan features
This study looks at whether using scan “patterns” (radiomics) to detect malnutrition risk can guide nutrition therapy for people treated for cervical cancer. It may help improve tolerance of treatment and outcomes by targeting nutrition early.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05954897RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus tislelizumab with HAIC for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining three treatments—lenvatinib, tislelizumab, and a liver-directed chemotherapy approach (HAIC)—can shrink advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. It may help people whose cancer is stage C and hasn’t been treated before.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05729646RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy with toripalimab for dMMR stomach cancer
This trial studies whether adding toripalimab (an immune therapy) to chemotherapy before and around surgery can improve outcomes for people with certain mismatch repair–deficient stomach cancers. It mainly targets tumors that are dMMR and not HER2-positive.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05956639RecruitingPhase 3
Rezvilutamide with ADT and chemo: shorter versus longer treatment
This Phase 3 trial compares two lengths of rezvilutamide treatment when given with hormone therapy (ADT) and chemotherapy for men with advanced prostate cancer. It aims to find which treatment duration works best and is safest to help control the cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05734300Recruiting
Surgery study for older adults with early colon cancer
This study looks at how well a planned surgery approach works for people age 75 and older with early-stage colon cancer. It may help improve outcomes by selecting the right patients for a specific colon operation plan.
Copenhagen, HerlevAges 65 years+ - NCT05830500RecruitingPhase 4
Anlotinib for advanced medullary thyroid cancer
This trial studies anlotinib in people with advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer that has been getting worse. It aims to see how well the treatment controls the cancer and how safe it is for patients who can’t have curative surgery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05838053Recruiting
Segmentectomy versus lobectomy for small lung cancer
This trial compares two types of lung surgery—removing a small lung segment versus removing an entire lung lobe—for small lung adenocarcinoma (≤ 2 cm). It may help you choose the safest approach that still controls the cancer.
Yangpu, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–79 - NCT05961761RecruitingPhase 2
Testing propranolol plus pembrolizumab for advanced sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining propranolol (a blood-pressure/heart medicine) with pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) can help people with advanced angiosarcoma or undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma that has progressed after first-line chemotherapy. It aims to slow tumor growth and improve outcomes while also studying tumor markers from your biopsy tissue.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05970198Recruiting
Radiation with helical tomotherapy before stem cell transplant
This trial studies a specific type of radiation (helical tomotherapy) in people with multiple myeloma who are planning an autologous stem cell transplant. It may help the study team understand how safe and effective this approach is when used during transplant preparation.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05980715RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing immunotherapy to radiation after successful treatment for head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether giving an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) after surgery is better than giving radiation therapy for people with advanced head and neck cancer who had a complete response to chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. The goal is to prevent the cancer from coming back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05968417Recruiting
Study of new lab tests using blood or bone marrow samples for myeloma
This trial studies myeloma (and closely related blood disorders) by using extra blood or bone marrow samples for lab research. It aims to help discover new ways to understand or treat myeloma.
SuttonAges 18 years+ - NCT05466383Recruiting
Screening and treatment support for adolescent spinal curve in China
This study checks adolescents who have an AIS spinal curve and then offers an intervention. It may help by testing what screening and treatment approach works best for improving or managing the curve.
Haikou, HainanAges 9–16 - NCT05076942RecruitingPhase 2
Study of sentinel lymph nodes in vulvar cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at how vulvar squamous cell cancer (SCC) spreads to the sentinel lymph node, and how findings may guide treatment. It focuses on specific early-stage tumor features and requires that cancer is found in the sentinel lymph node.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05967949Recruiting
Chidamide maintenance after PTCL first treatment
This study looks back at people with PTCL who, after their initial first treatment, received chidamide as a continuing (maintenance) therapy. It aims to understand how effective and tolerated this approach may be in real-world care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT04722692RecruitingPhase 3
Delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy for ductal cancer in situ
This trial tests whether doing a sentinel lymph node biopsy later (after breast surgery) is a safe, accurate way to check if cancer has spread. It uses a special tracking shot that helps find the lymph nodes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05984342RecruitingPhase 1
Tislelizumab plus chemo after surgery for lymph node-positive esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab to standard chemotherapy after surgery can help prevent esophageal cancer from coming back. It is for people whose cancer had spread to lymph nodes at the time of surgery.
Shantou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04758000RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin after bone cancer treatment to prevent relapse
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking metformin after surgery and chemotherapy can reduce the risk of bone cancer coming back in people at high risk of relapse. You may be eligible if you have osteosarcoma or Ewing sarcoma that is not currently spread and you meet specific lab and health criteria.
BolognaAges 14 years+ - NCT05869474Recruiting
Iodine seed implant plus chemotherapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial studies whether placing iodine-125 radioactive seeds during a procedure, along with chemotherapy, can improve outcomes for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs. It aims to test a treatment that targets the tumor area while systemic chemotherapy works throughout the body.
