Reducing cystoscopy for blood in urine
This trial tests if we can safely skip a bladder camera test (cystoscopy) for people who have microscopic blood in their urine. If you meet certain criteria, you may not need the procedure.

Genetic testing for advanced cancers
This trial investigates genetic testing (mutational profiling) in people with various advanced cancers. It aims to understand how these tests can guide more personalized treatment decisions.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT05468970Recruiting
Study of bone and soft tissue tumors and treatment outcomes
This study looks at people with bone or soft tissue tumors to understand their features, treatments used, and survival outcomes. It may help doctors learn which care approaches work best for different tumor subtypes.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 6–99 - NCT04743479Recruiting
AI screening for pancreatic cancer in higher-risk people
This trial uses an artificial-intelligence tool to help detect pancreatic cancer earlier and track people at higher risk. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and have imaging tests like MRI or CT to see how well the approach works.
ShanghaiAges 50–75 - NCT04463316Recruiting
Clinic study for people with rare genetic conditions
This study is for people who have a rare syndrome or rare congenital condition and are seen at a rare-disease clinic. It aims to better understand these conditions and how care works in a team setting, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05789043RecruitingPhase 3
Test of immunotherapy plus pills and chemotherapy for advanced melanoma
This Phase 3 trial tests camrelizumab (an immune-boosting medicine) combined with apatinib (a targeted pill) and temozolomide (chemotherapy) as first treatment for advanced acral melanoma. It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes compared with other standard first-line options.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05511623RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab with chemoradiotherapy for stage IIIC2 cervical cancer
This trial tests whether adding tislelizumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation works better as first treatment for stage IIIC2 cervical cancer. It aims to improve how well the cancer responds and controls the disease.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18–70 - NCT04989647RecruitingPhase 3
Stage IB1 to IIA cervical cancer surgery with possible radiation
This Phase 3 trial studies how best to treat intermediate-risk cervical cancer using radical surgery, with or without additional radiation after surgery. It may help find which approach lowers the chance the cancer comes back for patients with certain tumor risk features.
PragueAges 18–85 - NCT05264896RecruitingPhase 3
Stomach cancer surgery plus two chemo plans
This trial compares two chemotherapy schedules around stomach cancer surgery: giving chemo before and after surgery (FLOT) versus giving chemo after surgery (XELOX). It’s meant to see which plan works better and is easier to tolerate for locally advanced disease that has not spread.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05980702RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing 2 vs 4 rounds of chemo-immunotherapy before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether 2 or 4 cycles of pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) plus carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel (chemotherapy) before surgery works better for people with advanced head and neck cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if fewer treatments are just as effective.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06026735Recruiting
Lung cancer with brain spread: a surgical study
This trial looks at people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain or the membranes around the brain. It aims to learn more about patients who are already scheduled for brain surgery, such as removing a tumor or placing a drain.
TaipeiAges 20–90 - NCT06026878RecruitingPhase 3
GNT induction treatment for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination called GNT given before standard chemoradiation for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to improve treatment outcomes.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT05296941Recruiting
Oral cancer screening for early mouth changes
This trial tests an oral (mouth) screening approach to catch early, possibly cancer-pre-cursor changes. It may help you find warning spots sooner if you have specific mouth lesions.
Falun, Dalarna CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05405270Recruiting
Testing how well imiquimod works for abnormal cervix cell changes
This study looks for ways to predict who will respond to imiquimod cream for precancerous cervical cell changes (CIN2 or CIN3). Results may help doctors choose the best treatment approach and better plan follow-up.
BredaAges 18 years+ - NCT06043921Recruiting
Personalized blood test for pancreatic cancer
This study uses a personalized blood test to look for tiny pieces of tumor DNA in people with pancreatic cancer. It helps doctors understand how the cancer changes during treatment.
KashiwaAges 20 years+ - NCT06002425Recruiting
AI guidance for stomach and colorectal cancer treatment
This study uses a computer program (like ChatGPT) to help doctors recommend the best treatments for people with stomach or colorectal cancer. All your care must happen at one of the study hospitals.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03742687Recruiting
Testing a shorter, stronger radiation schedule for lung cancer
This trial studies a different way to deliver radiation to people with locally advanced, non-operable non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by aiming to treat the tumor effectively with a different radiation timing and dose pattern.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06037902Recruiting
CPAP during radiation for esophageal cancer
This study tests whether using a CPAP mask (which gently pushes air into your airways) during radiation therapy makes treatment safer and more effective for esophageal cancer. It is for adults who are planning radiation and can tolerate wearing the mask.
Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT06019702RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized mRNA vaccine for advanced digestive cancers
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine designed to target unique markers on your cancer cells. The vaccine is made just for you based on genetic testing of your tumor. It is for people with advanced digestive system cancers who have run out of standard options.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06026800RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized mRNA vaccine plus standard treatment for advanced digestive cancers
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine (iNeo-Vac-R01) given alongside standard first-line treatment for advanced digestive system cancers. The vaccine is made specifically for your tumor's unique genetic changes (neoantigens) and aims to help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06031246RecruitingPhase 3
Lymph node surgery study for early-stage lung cancer in the upper lung
This trial tests whether a more focused lymph node removal during surgery is safe and effective for people with a small, early-stage lung cancer (non-small cell type) located in the top part of the lung (apical segment).
Shanghai, Please SelectAges 18–80 - NCT06028724Recruiting
Looking for cancer mutations using a blood test
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to find genetic changes in advanced solid tumors. It may help doctors choose the right treatment and monitor how well it works over time.
Aviano, PordononeAges 18 years+ - NCT05947695Recruiting
Nurse-led comfort and survivorship care for advanced cancer
This study looks at whether a specialized nurse-led care plan soon after diagnosis/treatment helps people living with advanced (metastatic) cancer. It focuses on patients expected to do better than average based on certain prognosis factors.
West Islip, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT03534713RecruitingPhase 3
Cervical cancer treatment plan after lymph node spread
This trial tests a specific chemotherapy start (induction) followed by standard treatment for cervical cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the aorta. It may help improve cancer control compared with standard timing/approach.
