Re-irradiation with low-dose pulses for recurrent glioma
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy for people whose brain tumor (glioma) has come back after earlier treatment. Instead of standard radiation, it uses very low doses given in pulses, which may be safer for patients who have already had radiation to the head.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT03216525RecruitingPhase 3
Alvimopan vs placebo to reduce bowel slowdown after bladder surgery
This trial tests whether alvimopan, a medicine given around the time of bladder removal surgery, can help your bowels start working sooner after surgery compared with a placebo (inactive pill). It may help shorten recovery by reducing bowel-related side effects on an enhanced recovery plan.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT06056115Recruiting
Tislelizumab for lung cancer with brain metastases
This trial tests a drug called tislelizumab for people with advanced lung adenocarcinoma that has spread to the brain but is not causing symptoms. It is for those who have not had prior treatment and whose tumors do not have certain gene changes.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT06035250Recruiting
AI predicts stomach cancer response to chemo before surgery
This study tests whether an AI tool can predict how well stomach cancer responds to chemotherapy before surgery. It uses CT scans and biopsy images taken before treatment starts to see if the AI can help guide future care.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05444712Recruiting
Stem cell transplant after best response in some T-cell lymphomas
This trial studies whether doing an autologous stem cell transplant (using your own stem cells) after a complete response helps people with certain T-cell lymphomas stay in remission longer. It may be an option if your lymphoma has shrunk completely and you fit the safety and testing requirements.
AmiensAges 18–70 - NCT04631770Recruiting
Mediastinal node removal versus sparing nodes for early lung nodule
This trial compares two surgical approaches for people with a single small, noncancer-looking lung nodule (a GGN) that is diagnosed as very early lung cancer. It aims to see whether removing mediastinal lymph nodes—or leaving them alone—can lead to better outcomes with less harm.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06056336RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative tislelizumab plus chemo for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving tislelizumab (an immunotherapy) along with chemotherapy before and after surgery can help people with a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes for patients whose cancer is in the chest and can be removed with surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06059560Recruiting
Nutrition program for people with cancer having surgery
This study is testing a special nutritional program for people with certain types of cancer who are having surgery. It aims to help improve nutrition and recovery after the operation.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT06059521Recruiting
Comparing a mobile vision test to standard eye exams
This trial tests a new way to measure your eyeglass prescription using a mobile device, compared with a traditional method called retinoscopy. It may help you get a quick and accurate vision check without needing special equipment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 10–46 - NCT05177289Recruiting
Light therapy to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy
This study tests whether photobiomodulation (a specific light therapy) can prevent or reduce hair loss caused by chemotherapy. It may help you keep more hair or grow hair back sooner while you’re getting treatment.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06060769Recruiting
MRI risk assessment for liver cancer in chronic liver disease
This study uses special MRI scans to better predict liver cancer risk in people with chronic liver disease. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and improve monitoring.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06068023Recruiting
Chemotherapy after surgery for ampullary cancer
This study tests whether giving chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy) helps prevent ampullary cancer from coming back. It is for people who have had their ampullary cancer completely removed and are in reasonably good health.
Brescia, BSAges 18–100 - NCT04758975RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus rituximab plus ibrutinib for early CLL
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of three medicines to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has not been treated before and where the goal is to achieve very low remaining disease. It may help some people stay in remission longer, but eligibility depends on your age, organ function, and prior treatments.
Milan, MIAges 18–65 - NCT06062927Recruiting
Genes and scans predict response to immunotherapy and targeted therapy for advanced sarcoma
This trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs—a targeted therapy (surufatinib) and an immunotherapy (envafolimab)—can help people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers will also use a person's genetic information and scans to see if they can predict who will benefit the most.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04908228RecruitingPhase 2
Fixed treatment with ibrutinib and obinutuzumab for untreated CLL
This Phase 2 study tests a fixed-length treatment plan using ibrutinib plus obinutuzumab for people with newly diagnosed, active CLL/SLL that needs treatment. It may help control the leukemia/lymphoma by combining a targeted drug with an antibody therapy.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06065852Recruiting
National registry for rare kidney diseases
This study creates a registry to collect health information from people with rare kidney diseases. It aims to improve understanding and future treatments by tracking patient experiences.
Bristol, South WestAges Any age - NCT06065891Recruiting
Lymph node removal in pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial studies whether removing extra lymph nodes during surgery for pancreatic cancer can help find if the cancer has spread. It is for patients whose tumor is considered removable or borderline removable.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT04931732Recruiting
Liquid blood test to diagnose brain glioma
This trial checks whether a special blood test can help identify glioma (a type of brain tumor) that is new or coming back. It may help doctors learn more about the tumor using blood, alongside the usual brain scans and planned surgery.
BronAges 18–90 - NCT06041945Recruiting
AI study for cheaper colon cancer screening
This study uses artificial intelligence to help doctors predict if colon polyps are harmless during a colonoscopy. This could reduce the need for lab tests and save costs.
Rozzano, MilanoAges 40 years+ - NCT06070740RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab Plus Chemo for Advanced Gastrointestinal NEC
This trial tests a combination of durvalumab (an immunotherapy drug) plus a chemotherapy called XELOX as the first treatment for advanced gastrointestinal neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). It aims to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06073418Recruiting
Diet, nutrition, and physical activity in early breast cancer
This study looks at the eating habits, nutrition knowledge, and physical activity of women with early-stage breast cancer. It aims to understand how these factors relate to your health and recovery after surgery.
Aviano, PordononeAges 18 years+ - NCT05724004Recruiting
Alectinib then targeted radiation for ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests giving alectinib first, then adding targeted radiation to remaining spots of cancer in people with ALK-rearranged advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to control the cancer after an initial response and help keep disease from progressing.
StockholmAges 20 years+ - NCT03964753RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo before surgery for middle-lower esophageal cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin) given before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by treating cancer earlier while it’s still in one region.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT05241028RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant ensartinib for ALK-positive lung cancer after surgery
This trial studies whether taking ensartinib (a targeted pill) after lung cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It is for people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer has been fully removed and who have recovered from treatment.
