Combination therapy for advanced AFP-positive gastric cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy (XELOX) plus two immunotherapy/targeted drugs (Sintilimab and Lenvatinib) in people with advanced stomach cancer that produces a high level of a protein called AFP. It aims to see if this combination is safe and can shrink tumors when given as the first treatment.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06383728RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy before surgery for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests if taking a targeted therapy drug before surgery can help shrink tumors in people with a specific type of lung cancer called EGFR-mutated squamous cell carcinoma that can be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06384053Recruiting
Heat plus radiation for skin cancer in older adults
This trial tests whether adding heat therapy (hyperthermia) to radiation therapy works well for older adults with larger non-melanoma skin cancers. It may help shrink tumors without needing surgery.
Aarau, Canton of AargauAges 65 years+ - NCT06383767RecruitingPhase 3
A study of ESG401 for advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests a new medicine called ESG401 for people with a common type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-) that has spread and hasn't responded to at least one chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it works better than standard chemotherapy options.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06383780RecruitingPhase 3
Tislelizumab plus chemo for nasopharyngeal cancer with bone spread
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab with chemotherapy for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has spread to the bones. It may be an option if you have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06384404Recruiting
Surgery First for Osteosarcoma of the Arm or Leg
This trial tests removing the tumor with surgery first, then following up with chemotherapy. It's for people with a new, high-grade osteosarcoma in an arm or leg that hasn't spread.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 5–40 - NCT06384924Recruiting
Testing a light-based tool for skin cancer detection
This trial is testing a special light-based technique (Raman spectroscopy) to see if it can help doctors better identify skin cancers. It is for people with either basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma who are scheduled to receive brachytherapy treatment.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06385132Recruiting
Studying mental health in brain and head/neck cancer
This study looks at the emotional and mental health of people with glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor) or head and neck cancer who are getting a long course of radiation therapy. The goal is to understand how they are feeling so doctors can provide better support.
RomaAges 18–75 - NCT06385288Recruiting
Blood and tissue study in high-risk sarcoma
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma before their surgery. The goal is to learn how the immune system responds to pre-surgery treatments like radiation and hyperthermia (heat therapy).
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06385340Recruiting
Testing Lipikar Baume AP+M for actinic keratosis
This study tests if a moisturizing cream called Lipikar Baume AP+M can help with actinic keratoses (rough, scaly spots caused by sun damage) on the forearms or backs of the hands. You'll use the cream on one arm and compare it to the other arm to see if it makes a difference.
