mRNA vaccine after surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine (made from your tumor's unique markers) combined with standard chemotherapy after surgery for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if the vaccine can help prevent the cancer from coming back.

Natural opening extraction in low rectal cancer surgery
This trial looks back at patients who had surgery for low rectal cancer using a technique where the removed tissue is taken out through a natural opening (like the anus) instead of through a separate cut in the belly. It aims to see how well this approach works.

PET scans to guide chemo before gastric cancer surgery
This trial uses two types of PET scans (18F-FDG and 18F-FAPI) to see if they can better predict how well chemotherapy works before surgery for stomach cancer. It aims to improve treatment planning and outcomes.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06327451RecruitingPhase 2
Atorvastatin plus temozolomide for EGFR-positive glioblastoma
This trial tests whether adding the cholesterol drug atorvastatin to the standard chemotherapy temozolomide improves outcomes for people with a specific type of glioblastoma (brain cancer) that is positive for the EGFR protein. It aims to find a more effective treatment for this aggressive tumor.
TianjinAges 18–60 - NCT06327490RecruitingPhase 2
ICG-guided vs. traditional lymphatic drainage for breast cancer surgery
This trial compares a new imaging method (ICG) to the standard method for manual lymphatic drainage during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce swelling in the arm after lymph node removal.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT06327568Recruiting
Screening for anal cancer and precancer with a new HPV test
This study tests how well a special HPV test (called BD Onclarity™) can find anal cancer or precancer. It is for people at high risk or with known anal abnormalities, and aims to improve early detection.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06327594Recruiting
Muscle loss check in lung cancer surgery patients
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with lung cancer who are about to have surgery. It uses a CT or MRI scan to check your muscle health, which may help doctors better plan your care.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 40–100 - NCT06328179Recruiting
VHEA treatment for leukemia with KMT2A gene changes
This trial tests a combination treatment (VHEA) for adults with newly diagnosed or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has a specific genetic change called KMT2A. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for patients who meet certain health requirements.
Huai'an, JiangsuAges 18–60 - NCT06328361Recruiting
Avoiding surgery for rectal cancer after good response to treatment
This trial tests a new approach: after initial treatment (like chemo or radiation), people with rectal cancer who have a complete response may be able to avoid surgery. Instead, they are monitored closely to see if the cancer stays away.
TallinnAges 18 years+ - NCT06328465Recruiting
MRI for early detection of breast cancer spread
This trial is testing a new way to use MRI scans to find breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body early. It is for people who have had aggressive breast cancer (HER2 positive or triple negative) and finished treatment with surgery, but still have a higher risk of the cancer coming back.
MilanAges 18–75 - NCT06328686RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Arginine and whole brain radiation for brain metastases
This trial tests whether taking arginine (an amino acid) during whole brain radiation therapy can help people with brain metastases from any type of cancer. It looks at how the treatment affects the body and may improve outcomes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06329869RecruitingPhase 2
A study of sacituzumab govitecan for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a drug called sacituzumab govitecan for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that has already been treated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The drug targets a protein called Trop-2 on cancer cells to try to stop tumor growth.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06329531Recruiting
Validating a tool for cancer survivors in rehab
This study tests a new questionnaire that helps occupational therapists understand the needs of cancer survivors. It is for patients already receiving care at a physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) clinic to see how well the tool works.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06330038RecruitingPhase 4
Anesthesia type and lung cancer return after surgery
This study looks at whether the type of anesthesia you receive during lung cancer surgery may affect the chance of your cancer coming back. It is for people with non-small cell lung cancer who are having surgery to remove the tumor.
Seoul, Seoul-teukbyeolsiAges 19 years+ - NCT06329908RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Dendritic cell vaccine plus immunotherapy for resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment combining a dendritic cell vaccine (a type of immune therapy that trains your body to fight cancer) with additional immunotherapy drugs. It is for people with advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard immunotherapy.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–85 - NCT06329999Recruiting
