Telehealth cancer care at home study for breast or prostate cancer
This trial tests if telehealth (video or phone visits) can be a safe and effective way to manage your cancer care at home. It is for people with breast or prostate cancer who have had at least three prior visits with their medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06957015Recruiting
New system to measure polyp size during colonoscopy
This trial tests a new computer system that helps doctors estimate the size of polyps during a colonoscopy. It may help doctors make better decisions about your treatment.
ShatinAges 18 years+ - NCT06956755Recruiting
Registry for MDS and treatment-related leukemia
This study collects information from people with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that developed after cancer treatment. It does not test a new drug but helps doctors learn more about these conditions.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT06954480RecruitingPhase 2
Two drugs vs one for PDL1-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (datopotamab deruxtecan plus durvalumab) against one drug alone (datopotamab deruxtecan) for people with PDL1-negative, triple-negative breast cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if the combination works better.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06958432RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Shorter radiation before chemo and immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation before chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug to shrink mid-to-lower rectal cancer that has not spread. The goal is to improve treatment response and reduce side effects, potentially allowing for less invasive surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06956248Recruiting
Access to new treatments for advanced solid tumors
This trial offers access to experimental or non-standard cancer treatments for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard options. The goal is to find new ways to treat cancers that are hard to manage.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06183983Recruiting
Advanced MRI for better glioblastoma radiation
This trial tests whether using advanced MRI scans before radiation therapy can help doctors target the tumor more precisely and possibly improve outcomes for people with glioblastoma. It aims to make radiation treatment more personalized.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05170503RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for junction stomach cancers
This Phase 2 study tests giving immunotherapy together with chemotherapy before surgery for certain “locally advanced” cancers at the esophagus-stomach junction. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by treating the cancer earlier with both immune and chemotherapy approaches.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05702944RecruitingPhase 4
Skipping pre-surgery blood pressure medicine for certain adrenal tumors
This trial studies whether it is safe to skip a specific pre-surgery blood pressure medicine (alpha-blocker) for people with normal blood pressure who have a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma in one adrenal gland. It aims to see if fewer pre-op meds can still prevent risky blood pressure surges during surgery.
SeoulAges 19–70 - NCT05771181RecruitingPhase 2
Test vitamin E plus two cancer drugs for metastatic colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding vitamin E to two cancer medicines (fruityquintinib and tislelizumab) can work better in people with metastatic colorectal cancer that is mismatch-repair stable (MSS). It may help if your cancer has grown despite standard treatment, and you can meet the study’s safety and blood/organ requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06309836Recruiting
Study of advanced basal cell carcinoma in patients
This study looks at how people with advanced basal cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer that is hard to treat or has spread) are cared for and what happens over time. It does not test any new treatments, but helps doctors learn more about the disease.
Roma, ITAAges 18 years+ - NCT06334809Recruiting
Genetic test for men with prostate cancer and DNA repair changes
This trial looks for specific DNA repair changes in men with prostate cancer. It tests if these genetic features can help guide treatment decisions. You may join if you have high-risk localized, newly metastatic, or advanced prostate cancer and have tissue available for testing.
Candiolo, TurinAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05740033Recruiting
Closing the radial forearm donor site after mouth surgery
This study looks at how best to close the skin area on the forearm after surgeons take tissue to rebuild part of the mouth. If you need a radial forearm tissue reconstruction, you may be asked about outcomes afterward using English questionnaires.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05765877RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug before surgery for ALK or ROS1 lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests WX-0593 given before surgery for certain types of lung cancer that have ALK or ROS1 gene changes. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer ahead of the operation and see how well the treatment works and is tolerated.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06409702RecruitingPhase 4
Treating high-risk multiple myeloma with MRD testing
This trial tests a treatment plan for people with newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma. It uses a special test called minimal residual disease (MRD) detection to see how well the treatment is working and guide next steps.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06418412Recruiting
Pan-Asian study for EGFR exon 20 insertion lung cancer
This trial is building a large database of lung cancer patients from Asia who have a specific EGFR mutation (exon 20 insertion). Your medical records and treatment information will be collected to help doctors learn more about this type of cancer and improve care.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06906705Recruiting

RomaAges 18–99 - NCT05613452RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon ion radiation for peripheral lung cancer you can’t operate on
This trial tests whether carbon ion radiation (high-energy targeted radiation) can control peripheral non-small cell lung cancer in people who are medically unable to have surgery. It may help shrink or stop tumor growth while limiting harm to nearby organs.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT02328677Recruiting
Colorectal cancer study for newly diagnosed patients
