First treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer using three drugs
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs (QL1706, chidamide, and AG) as the very first treatment for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective, and it may offer a new option for those who have not had any prior therapy.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06952101Recruiting
Personalized treatment for rectal cancer to save the organ
This trial tests a personalized, step-by-step approach for rectal cancer that aims to avoid surgery and preserve the rectum. It is for patients whose tumor has shrunk significantly after chemoradiation, or who have early-stage high-risk cancer removed during a scope procedure.
Candiolo, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT06947668Recruiting
Biomarker study for people who can't take cisplatin chemo
This study looks at immune system markers in patients with head and neck cancer who cannot receive the standard chemotherapy drug cisplatin. The goal is to understand how well a different chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) combined with radiation works in these patients.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06943235RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotics, radiation, chemo, and immunotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests if adding probiotics (good bacteria) to standard chemoradiation and an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) can help treat limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It may improve how well the treatment works and reduce side effects.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06949943Recruiting
Meditation before cancer surgery to reduce anxiety
This trial tests if listening to a guided meditation recording before surgery can help lower anxiety. If you are scheduled for cancer surgery and are at least 18 years old, you may be able to take part.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06949111RecruitingPhase 2
Combining radiation and chemo to make colon cancer removable
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy along with standard chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink advanced colon cancer that has grown through the bowel wall but hasn't spread to other organs. It is for a specific type of colon cancer called pMMR/MSS.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06944483Recruiting
Same-Day Radiation Treatment for Large Liver Cancer
This trial tests giving a same-day radiation treatment (radioembolization) for large liver cancers (5 cm or bigger). It might be an option if your liver is still working well and you are in good general health.
GoyangAges 19 years+ - NCT06943313Enrolling by invitation
Breast cancer PET/CT imaging with a new tracer
This trial tests a new imaging agent (68Ga-pAKTi) that may help doctors see breast cancer cells with a PET/CT scan. It is for people with a specific genetic change in their tumor, and who have not yet had surgery to remove the cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06947096Enrolling by invitation
AI prediction of stomach cancer spread to lymph nodes
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze your CT scan and predict whether stomach cancer has spread to lymph nodes behind your belly. The goal is to help doctors decide if you need more extensive surgery.
Shijiazhuang, None SelectedAges 18–80 - NCT06946602Recruiting
Study of transplant preparation for older adults with AML
This trial tests a special preparation (conditioning) regimen for patients 55 or older with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in first remission and receiving a half-matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant. It aims to make the transplant safer and more effective for this age group.
BeijingAges 55 years+ - NCT06950073Recruiting
Second radiation treatment for lung cancer in the chest
This study tests whether giving a second course of radiation to the chest (called retreatment) can control lung cancer that has come back or a new cancer that started there. People who have already had radiation to their chest and are healthy enough for more may be eligible.

Personalized treatment for advanced lung cancer with long response to first-line therapy
This trial tests a combination of ivonescimab and docetaxel for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have had a long response (11-15 months without the cancer getting worse) to first-line immunotherapy. The goal is to see if adjusting treatment based on ctDNA-MRD levels can improve outcomes.
