CD-801 for advanced liver cancer
This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called CD-801 given through an IV for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be surgically removed and has not responded to or is not suitable for standard treatments. The goal is to see if CD-801 is safe and helps shrink tumors.

A study of 4 drugs for a rare kidney disease
This trial tests a combination of four medications (daratumumab, bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone) for people with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease (MIDD), a condition where abnormal proteins build up in organs. The goal is to see if this treatment can help without prior harsh therapies.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06418776RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing treatments for AML that returns or doesn't respond
This study compares two different treatments for people whose AML did not go away with initial therapy or came back early. It aims to find which approach works better.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06418789RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose chemo for relapsed germ cell tumors
This trial tests a second-line high-dose chemotherapy for germ cell tumors that have come back after initial treatment. It may be an option for patients whose cancer progressed after 3–4 cycles of standard platinum-based chemo.
Saint Petersburg, Russian FederationAges 18 years+ - NCT06419361RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan to detect immune activity in cancer patients
This trial uses a special PET scan tracer to see where immune system signals are active in people with cancer. It may help doctors understand how your immune system is responding to the disease.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06419634RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combo for returning AML or MDS
This study tests a new drug (BMS-986497) alone or combined with two other medicines (azacitidine and venetoclax) for people with AML or MDS that has not responded to or returned after prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06419946RecruitingPhase 3
Lomustine study for MGMT methylated glioblastoma
This trial tests adding lomustine chemotherapy to standard treatment for people with a specific type of glioblastoma that has a methylated MGMT gene. It aims to see if this combination helps control the tumor better and improves survival.
GrazAges 18–70 - NCT06420063RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Two-step CAR-T therapy for AML with CD33/CD123
This study tests a new kind of immunotherapy called CAR-T cells that are engineered to find and attack leukemia cells carrying certain markers (CD33, CD123, or CLL-1). The treatment is given in two steps, aiming to kill cancer cells more effectively and possibly with fewer side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 6–90 - NCT06420076RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sequential CAR-T therapy for CD5/CD7 positive T-cell leukemia/lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (called CAR-T) that targets two proteins, CD5 and CD7, on the surface of T-cell leukemia or lymphoma cells. It may be an option for people whose cancer came back or didn't respond to standard treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 2–90 - NCT06420089RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells for T-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new CAR T-cell treatment for T-cell lymphoma that has come back or hasn't responded to standard treatments. The treatment is designed to target cancer cells that have a protein called CD5 on their surface.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06420206Recruiting
Goals of care discussion in the ER for advanced cancer
This study is for people with advanced lung or GI cancer who come to the emergency room at MD Anderson. It’s testing a conversation to help you and your doctor discuss your goals and wishes for care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06420440RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery treatment for liver cancer at high risk of return
This study tests a treatment given before surgery for liver cancer that is at high risk of coming back. You would receive a combination of chemotherapy directly into the liver artery (HAIC), a targeted pill (lenvatinib), and an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) — if a computer model predicts you might benefit.
Xiangyang, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06420427Recruiting
Blood test to predict cervical cancer return after surgery
This trial uses a simple blood test to look for cancer DNA (ctDNA) and HPV DNA after cervical cancer surgery. The goal is to detect any return of the cancer early, so you and your doctor can act quickly.

Testing RC48 for ovarian cancer returning after platinum treatment
This trial tests a new drug, RC48, for people with ovarian cancer that came back after responding well to platinum chemotherapy. RC48 targets the HER2 protein on cancer cells, which may stop the tumor from growing. Researchers want to see if it's safe and works better than current options.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06421025Recruiting
Blood viscosity in polycythemia patients
This study looks at how thick your blood is (blood viscosity) if you have polycythemia, a condition where your body makes too many red blood cells. It aims to understand the relationship between blood thickness and your red blood cell levels.
