Testing a combination of drugs for advanced gallbladder and bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether adding a targeted therapy (anlotinib) to standard chemo plus an immunotherapy (camrelizumab) is more effective than chemo plus immunotherapy alone for advanced gallbladder or bile duct cancers that cannot be removed by surgery.
ZhengzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06904495Recruiting
Sleep quality in young cancer survivors
This study looks at how well young people ages 15 to 24 sleep after finishing cancer treatment. It uses questionnaires to understand sleep quality and may help doctors find ways to improve rest for survivors.
NiceAges 15–24 - NCT06907706Recruiting
Active living program for cancer survivors and caregivers
This study tests a program to help people affected by cancer become more active. It is for cancer survivors or their caregivers who live in certain areas of Houston.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06909201Recruiting
Lung MRI scan to study radiation treatment effects
This study uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to see how radiation therapy affects your lungs. It may help doctors better understand treatment response and side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06904482RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant with half-matched donor and cord blood
This trial tests a new way to do a stem cell transplant for people with hard-to-treat blood cancers. It combines a half-matched family donor (haploidentical) with a cord blood unit to help the transplant work better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06906952Enrolling by invitation
Robotic surgery through the anus vs. standard robotic surgery for rectal cancer
This trial compares two robotic surgery methods for high rectal and sigmoid colon cancer—one that removes the tumor through the anus (NOSES-IV) and the traditional assisted approach. It aims to see which way may lead to better recovery.
NanchangAges 18–80 - NCT06904339Recruiting
Sexual health communication during gynecologic cancer care
This trial looks at ways to improve how doctors and patients talk about sexual health concerns during and after gynecologic cancer treatment. You might be able to join if you are currently or have recently been treated for gynecologic cancer and have some sexual health concerns.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06911008RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called MTI-301 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth, and to check its safety.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06910722Recruiting
Liver transplant for bile duct cancer after treatment
This trial tests if a liver transplant can help people with a certain type of bile duct cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery. Before the transplant, you would receive radiation therapy (SIRT) and chemotherapy to shrink the tumor.
Clichy-sous-BoisAges 18–65 - NCT06902623Recruiting
Less intense radiation for early HPV throat cancer
This study tries to see if less intense radiation can still work well for certain throat cancers linked to HPV. It is looking for people with early stage HPV-positive oropharynx cancer who may benefit from a lighter treatment plan.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06902389RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Multi-target immune cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (multi-target Hi-TCR-T cells) for people with advanced liver cancer that hasn't responded to earlier treatments. The therapy targets several markers on your cancer cells to try to attack the tumor more effectively.
Shanghai, Yangpu DistrictAges 18–75 - NCT05035108RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Bioartificial liver treatment using hiHep cells after liver surgery
This early-stage study tests a lab-made “bioartificial liver” (using hiHep cells) after major liver surgery to help the remaining liver recover. It may help people whose remaining liver volume after resection is less than half and who have acceptable heart, lung, and blood test results for surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 30–80 - NCT04765098RecruitingPhase 2
Tamoxifen or Etoposide for recurring brain tumor after prior treatment
This trial tests whether tamoxifen works as well as etoposide in people whose glioblastoma has come back after standard chemotherapy and radiation with temozolomide. It aims to find a better medication option for controlling the tumor after the first return.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–65 - NCT05150145Recruiting
Radiation versus observation for liver spread of small cell lung cancer
This trial compares giving liver-directed radiation to watching closely without radiation. It is for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the liver, to see whether radiation helps control the disease.

This trial looks at an imaging scan called CXCR4-targeted PET/CT to help doctors see certain blood cancers. You may be helped by getting clearer information about where cancer is in your body, and the results may guide future care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–90 - NCT06436625Recruiting
Outpatient rehab for lung cancer patients on immunotherapy
This study tests whether a structured outpatient exercise program can help people with non-small cell lung cancer who are already receiving immunotherapy. It is designed for those whose cancer is stable or responding after initial treatment.

Combination therapy for unresectable bile duct cancer
This study tests a combination of liver-directed therapy (D-TACE-HAIC), an immunotherapy drug (Envafolimab), and a targeted therapy pill (Lenvatinib) for people with a type of liver cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer.
