ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06339255Recruiting
Observational study on CAR-T therapy for lymphoma
This study observes patients with certain lymphomas who are already eligible for standard CAR-T cell therapy in Italy. It aims to gather real-world information about how these treatments work.

Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab with radiation for liver cancer that can't be removed
This trial tests adding two immunotherapy and anti-angiogenesis drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) to standard photon radiation for people with liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Taoyuan City, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06339619RecruitingPhase 2
Combination immunotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer after prior treatment
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (adebrelimab, apatinib, and a chemotherapy pill) for people with advanced esophageal cancer whose previous immunotherapy treatment stopped working. The goal is to see if this new combination can help the immune system fight the cancer again.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06340204RecruitingPhase 1
Weekly liposomal irinotecan for advanced Ewing sarcoma
This trial tests a weekly dose of a chemotherapy drug wrapped in liposomes (tiny fat bubbles) for people with Ewing sarcoma that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this new form of the drug can help when other options have stopped working.
Jina, ShandongAges 8–40 - NCT06340516Recruiting
Looking at a blood test to track heart health during HER2 breast cancer treatment
This trial is checking if a simple blood test (NT-proBNP) can help spot early signs of heart side effects from certain breast cancer treatments (chemotherapy plus HER2 blockers). If successful, it might help doctors adjust treatment sooner to protect your heart.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06340646Recruiting
Washington University cancer gene study
This study collects genetic information from people with certain cancers to learn more about cancer risks and outcomes. It may help researchers understand how genes affect cancer in different groups.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06340737RecruitingPhase 1
CD22-targeting CAR T cells for relapsed B cell lymphoma
This trial tests whether giving modified immune cells (CAR T cells) that target CD22 on cancer cells can help people with certain B-cell lymphomas that have come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors or control the disease.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06340620Recruiting
Comparing a new ultrasound tool to the standard scope
This study compares a new, possibly easier-to-use ultrasound tool (EndoSound Vision System) to the standard echoendoscope for looking at organs like the pancreas, bile duct, or lymph nodes. If you are already scheduled for an endoscopic ultrasound, you may be able to join.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT06340945Recruiting
Treating benign thyroid nodules with heat
This study uses heat (thermal ablation) guided by ultrasound to shrink benign thyroid nodules that are causing symptoms or cosmetic concerns. It's an option if you can't have surgery or prefer not to.
