Carbon Ion Boost for Advanced Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy (carbon ion boost) to people with advanced, inoperable lung cancer. The goal is to see if targeting the most aggressive parts of the tumor with a higher dose can improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06550427Recruiting
Lymphoma treatment response monitoring with genetic testing
This trial is testing a new way to monitor how well your lymphoma treatment is working. It uses a blood test to look for genetic changes in cancer cells, which may help doctors make better treatment decisions.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06639490Recruiting
Robot-assisted stomach surgery navigation study
This trial tests a special navigation system to help surgeons perform robot-assisted stomach cancer surgery. It aims to make the surgery more precise and safe.
SeoulAges 20–90 - NCT06700798RecruitingPhase 2
Orelabrutinib plus rituximab vs R-CVP for untreated MZL
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (orelabrutinib and rituximab) compared to the standard R-CVP chemotherapy for people with newly diagnosed marginal zone lymphoma. The goal is to see which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06607289Recruiting
Blood cancer patients on CAR-T therapy long-term study
This study is for people with blood cancers who are treated with CAR-T cell therapy. Researchers will follow participants over time to learn more about how this therapy works in the real world.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06766305RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
QL1706 combined with SOX before and after stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (QL1706 plus chemotherapy SOX) given before and after surgery for stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor before surgery and help prevent recurrence afterward.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06775678RecruitingPhase 2
Spatial fragmentation plus low-dose radiation for resistant lung cancer
This study tests whether combining a special type of radiation (spatial fragmentation) with low-dose radiation can help people whose lung cancer stopped responding to immunotherapy and chemotherapy. If you are eligible, you may receive a new treatment approach to try to shrink the tumors.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT02288676Recruiting
Genetic testing to help diagnose ovarian or uterine cancer earlier
This study tests genetic (DNA) information to help doctors identify ovarian or uterine (endometrial) cancer sooner. You may be asked to do this around the time of planned surgery, when tissue is removed and can be checked for genetic clues.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06785324Recruiting
Nutrition and exercise for adults with ALL in the hospital
This trial tests whether adding a structured diet and exercise program during your hospital stay for newly diagnosed ALL can help your recovery. You must have a specific type of ALL and be receiving a certain chemotherapy regimen.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–50 - NCT05388695RecruitingPhase 1
Testing dual-target CAR T cells for B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests CAR T cells designed to attack B-cell blood cancers using two targets (CD19 and CD20/CD22). It may help people whose cancer has come back or not responded to standard treatments, but it is mainly to check safety and early effectiveness.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT06135896RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a medicine to prevent low white blood cells from chemo
This trial tests a medicine (tripegfilgrastim) that helps prevent a serious drop in white blood cells (severe neutropenia) caused by certain chemotherapy. It is for people with advanced pancreatic or bile duct cancer who are starting a new treatment.
