Comparing Two Drug Combinations for Stem Cell Transplant
This study compares two different drug combinations (BeFluBu and FluBuRux) used before a stem cell transplant from a half-matched (haploidentical) donor. The goal is to see which combination works better to prepare your body for the transplant and control your blood cancer.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–75 - NCT06477692RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing Neck Radiation Options for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial is testing whether radiation to just the lymph nodes near the tumor is as effective as treating a larger area of the neck. It is for people with certain head and neck cancers (not unknown primary or glottic) and aims to lower side effects.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT06478030Recruiting
Combined screening for stomach and bowel cancer
This study is testing a combined screening method for finding cancer in the stomach and intestines at an early stage. It is for people in Zhejiang Province who are willing to be screened and followed over time.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 40–74 - NCT06478225Recruiting
Cell therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy (BGT007H) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not responded to earlier treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help shrink or control the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06478108RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Software-guided multi-immunotherapy for solid tumors
This trial tests a new software-guided approach to deliver multiple immunotherapy drugs directly into the liver for people with solid tumors. It aims to see if this method can shrink tumors and improve survival.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06478251RecruitingPhase 1
Engineered immune cells for KRAS-mutated advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy that uses your own immune cells, specially trained to attack cancer cells with a KRAS G12V or G12D mutation. It may be an option if you have advanced solid tumors that no longer respond to standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06478381RecruitingPhase 1
L218CAR19 for relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy (called L218CAR19) for people with B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can help shrink or control the lymphoma.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06478472Recruiting
Orelabrutinib plus rituximab for marginal zone lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two targeted therapies—oralebrutinib (a pill that blocks a protein in cancer cells) and rituximab (an antibody infusion)—for people with marginal zone lymphoma that has returned or cannot be treated with local therapies. The goal is to see if this combo works well and is safe.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06478693RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MT-303 for advanced liver cancer
This study tests a new drug called MT-303 for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) or other cancers that produce a protein called GPC3. The drug is designed to target and attack the cancer cells. The trial is in an early phase, so it is looking at safety and how well the drug works.
