Testing toripalimab after lung cancer surgery using ctDNA
This study tests whether a drug called toripalimab, given after lung cancer surgery, can help keep the cancer from coming back in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It uses a blood test (ctDNA) to look for leftover cancer cells and decide who might benefit most.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06426563Recruiting
Comparing microwave vs radiofrequency for benign thyroid nodules
This study compares two heat-based treatments—microwave ablation (MWA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA)—for shrinking benign thyroid nodules that are moderate in size. If you have a non-cancerous, solid nodule at least 2 cm wide, this trial may help you avoid surgery.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06426628Recruiting
Nasal swab test for lung nodule risk
This trial tests a new nasal swab test to help doctors better understand your risk if you have a small lung nodule. The test looks at cells from your nose to give more information about whether the nodule might be cancer, without needing a biopsy right away.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 29–85 - NCT06426810Recruiting
New vs. standard surgical tool for bleeding control after lymph node biopsy
This trial compares two tools used during surgery to stop bleeding after a sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer. It aims to see if a newer bipolar system is better than the standard electrocautery device.
Seoul, Dongjak-guAges 20–80 - NCT06426992Recruiting
Microwave ablation for small liver tumors
This study tests a microwave ablation device to destroy small liver tumors (up to 4 cm) using heat, without major surgery. It is designed for patients with limited disease (1 or 2 tumors) and good liver function.
SeoulAges 20–85 - NCT06427226RecruitingPhase 2
Testing dapagliflozin to protect the heart during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether a daily pill called dapagliflozin can help protect the heart from damage caused by doxorubicin chemotherapy in people being treated for early-stage breast cancer. If you are starting doxorubicin and have a healthy heart, this might lower your risk of heart problems later.
Alexandria, Bab SharqiAges 18–65 - NCT06427239RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
HRS-4642 and adebrelimab for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (HRS-4642 and adebrelimab) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06427330RecruitingPhase 2
Low-Dose Inotuzumab After Transplant to Prevent Leukemia Relapse
This trial tests whether a low dose of a targeted drug called inotuzumab ozogamicin, given after a stem cell transplant, can help prevent acute lymphoblastic leukemia from coming back. It is for people who have already had a transplant and are at high risk for relapse.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT06427447RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo with or without radiation after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial compares adding radiation to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone after surgery for pancreatic cancer. It is for people whose cancer had certain high-risk features found during surgery, and who have not yet started additional treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06427460RecruitingPhase 2
Focused radiation therapy for solid tumors
This trial tests a special type of radiation that delivers a higher dose to the center of the tumor while limiting radiation to nearby healthy organs. It's for people with certain solid tumors that haven't spread widely or have only a few metastases.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06427824Recruiting
Health tests for older adults with bladder cancer before bladder removal
This study looks at how a series of health tests (called a comprehensive geriatric assessment) can help doctors plan care for older adults with bladder cancer who are having their bladder removed. The goal is to improve recovery and quality of life.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 65 years+ - NCT06427954Recruiting
Mobile app study for people with advanced lung cancer
This study tests a mobile app (called THRIVE) to help people with advanced lung cancer manage their health and well-being. You'll use the app on your phone to track symptoms and get support, which may help you feel better and stay more in control.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06428019RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing drug combinations for untreated CLL or SLL
This trial tests two different drug combinations (venetoclax with obinutuzumab or with acalabrutinib) to see how they affect the risk of tumor lysis syndrome in people with untreated CLL or SLL. It may help find the safest and most effective way to start treatment.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06428045RecruitingPhase 1
STARLITE for hard-to-surgery high-grade brain tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called STARLITE for people with fast-growing brain tumors (high-grade gliomas) that cannot be safely removed with surgery. The treatment uses a laser to destroy the tumor from the inside. It may be a good option if you haven't had any prior treatment for this tumor.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06428682RecruitingPhase 4
TXA for Bleeding in Breast Reconstruction with Free Flaps
This trial tests whether a medicine called TXA (tranexamic acid) can help reduce bleeding during breast reconstruction using your own abdominal tissue. It's for women having this surgery at UVA Medical Center.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06428422Recruiting
Probiotic supplement for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if taking a probiotic supplement along with your standard lung cancer treatment can help you live longer and respond better to therapy. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have not tried immunotherapy before.
KonyaAges 19–90 - NCT06428721Recruiting
Can laser treatment prevent skin spots in older adults?
This study tests if a laser treatment on your forearms can prevent precancerous spots (actinic keratoses) from developing in older adults with fair skin. You would receive the laser on one arm and a sham treatment on the other, and your skin will be monitored.
Fairborn, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT06429813Recruiting
Remote exercise program for men with metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a remotely supervised exercise program (walking and stationary cycling) can help men with metastatic prostate cancer who are starting hormone therapy. Participation involves following an exercise plan at home and may help manage side effects.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06429449RecruitingPhase 1
Mitoxantrone for venetoclax-resistant AML
This trial tests a re-purposed drug, mitoxantrone, for people whose AML has not responded to or has come back after standard frontline treatment. The goal is to see if this older drug can help overcome resistance to venetoclax.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–80 - NCT06429839RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab with chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a drug called nimotuzumab combined with standard chemotherapy and radiation for patients with esophageal cancer. It may help improve treatment effectiveness for those whose cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06430021Recruiting
Blood test for neuroendocrine tumors in MEN1
This study is testing a new blood test to see if it can help diagnose neuroendocrine tumors in people with MEN1, a genetic condition that increases the risk of these tumors. The test looks for a protein called hPG80 (progastrin) and may help doctors find tumors earlier.
DijonAges 18–60 - NCT06430541RecruitingPhase 1

This trial tests if psilocybin-assisted therapy can help reduce the intense worry that cancer might come back. It is for people who have finished their main treatments for early-stage breast cancer or advanced ovarian cancer.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 21 years+ - NCT06430346Recruiting
Exercise before treatment for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise program before standard treatment (chemoradiation and surgery) can help people with esophageal cancer feel stronger and recover better. If you are scheduled for this treatment and are not already doing regular strength training, you may be able to join.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06430502Recruiting
Cancer vaccine plus immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a cancer vaccine (called TTV) combined with a PD-1 inhibitor (a type of immunotherapy) for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this new combination helps shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
