Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06843551RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new immunotherapy combo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing two immunotherapy drugs (balstilimab and botensilimab) to see if they can shrink tumors in people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has worsened after at least one prior treatment. If you have microsatellite stable (MSS) disease, you may be eligible.

Comparing ways to involve people in pediatric, cancer, and serious illness research
This study compares two different methods for including patients, families, and clinicians in qualitative research about pediatric mental health, cancer screening, or serious illness. You can help by sharing your experiences and perspectives.
Hanover, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06841172RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation vs treatment switch for limited liver cancer growth
This trial tests whether giving radiation to a few growing cancer spots while continuing your current treatment works better than switching to a new treatment right away. It's for people whose advanced liver cancer has only barely started to progress on their first therapy.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06843681Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Trastuzumab and Chemo Before Surgery for HER2-Positive DCIS
This trial tests giving trastuzumab (a targeted drug) plus a chemotherapy drug called a taxane before surgery for women with HER2-positive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early form of breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or eliminate the cancer before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06842264Recruiting
MRI brain test to predict prostate cancer risk
This study uses MRI scans and artificial intelligence to predict the risk of clinically significant prostate cancer. It may help find a way to detect aggressive cancers without needing a biopsy.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT06844383RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib with or without enzalutamide for prostate cancer after prior treatment
This study tests a drug called talazoparib, either alone or combined with enzalutamide, in people with prostate cancer that has spread and has a specific genetic change. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer after previous therapies have stopped working.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06837480Recruiting
Light therapy for long-term swelling after head and neck cancer
This study tests a light-based treatment called photobiomodulation (PBMT) to help reduce chronic swelling after head and neck cancer therapy. It is for people whose swelling hasn’t improved with standard treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06841211Recruiting
Optimizing prostate biopsy for multiple MRI lesions
This study aims to find the best way to take tissue samples (biopsies) from the prostate when MRI shows more than one suspicious spot. It will help doctors know exactly where to biopsy to reduce false negatives and avoid missing cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06838832RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New CAR-T cell therapy for relapsed B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new treatment made from your own immune cells (gamma-delta T cells) that are engineered to find and kill CD19-positive lymphoma cells. It is for people with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma whose cancer has not responded to or has returned after at least two standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06843629Recruiting
PET scan test for MSLN in cancer patients
This study uses a special PET scan to look for a protein called MSLN in certain cancers like pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancer. It aims to see if this imaging method can help doctors understand your tumor better.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–65 - NCT06843720Recruiting
Easier cervical cancer screening study in Texas
This study tests if offering self-sampling for HPV testing makes it easier for people to get screened for cervical cancer. It is designed for patients at partner clinics in Texas who are due for screening.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06842303Recruiting
Using new MRI scans to measure pancreatic tumor response
This study tests whether new MRI techniques can better show how pancreatic cancer responds to treatment. It compares standard CT scans with advanced MRI sequences for patients whose cancer has not spread.
Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06840977Recruiting
Low dose chemo for older adults with colorectal cancer
This trial tests a lower-dose chemotherapy regimen for adults aged 70 or older with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not been treated yet. It aims to see if a gentler approach can still be effective and easier to tolerate.
Genova, GEAges 70–99 - NCT06840288Recruiting
Lung tumor ablation registry study
This study tracks patients with small lung tumors that are treated with a robotic bronchoscope to destroy the tumor using heat. It aims to learn how well this procedure works over time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06844344Recruiting
Testing cryo biopsies for lung lesions
This trial compares a new method called cryo biopsy to standard forceps biopsy for diagnosing lung lesions. It may help get better tissue samples with fewer procedures.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT06845319RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy that avoids a class of drugs called anthracyclines, which can be hard on the heart. The goal is to shrink tumors before surgery for people with triple-negative or low-hormone-receptor breast cancer.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06840834RecruitingPhase 2
New drug for mesothelioma that has returned after prior treatment
This trial tests a drug called ivonescimab for people with pleural mesothelioma (a cancer of the lung lining) that has grown back after earlier immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The drug may help by blocking a protein that tumors use to hide from the immune system, possibly slowing or shrinking the cancer.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06843434RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two immunotherapy drugs for rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, botensilimab and balstilimab, for people with newly diagnosed rectal adenocarcinoma that has not spread. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor before surgery.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06843967RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mirdametinib and palbociclib for liposarcoma
This trial tests two targeted drugs – mirdametinib and palbociclib – taken as pills for people with a specific aggressive type of liposarcoma (dedifferentiated liposarcoma) that has spread or can't be removed. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or slow the tumor.
