Biomarkers in nervous system autoimmune diseases
This study looks for biomarkers (biological clues) in people with autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. It aims to discover better ways to diagnose and treat these conditions.
WuhanAges 18 years+ - NCT06502275Recruiting
Nutrition and Exercise for Older Colorectal Cancer Patients
This trial tests a nutrition and exercise program designed for older adults with colorectal cancer. It uses a smartphone app to help you stay active and eat well at home.
Chiayi CityAges 60 years+ - NCT06502691RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New imaging test to measure PARP in metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests a new imaging scan called [18F]FTT PET that may show how much of a protein called PARP is in your tumors. This could help doctors decide if a PARP inhibitor (a type of targeted therapy) is right for you. You may be able to join if you have metastatic breast cancer and are already planning to take a PARP inhibitor.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06502743RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chemotherapy and pembrolizumab with or without nesuparib for endometrial cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (carboplatin and paclitaxel) plus the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, followed by maintenance pembrolizumab either alone or with a PARP inhibitor called nesuparib. It is for women with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer that is MMR-proficient (a type where the cells have a normal ability to fix DNA).
Kyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06502704Recruiting
Bile acids and gut bacteria in early colorectal cancer
This trial studies how bile acids and gut bacteria are linked to early colorectal cancer. It may help identify patients at risk before cancer develops.
VilniusAges 18 years+ - NCT06503094RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cells targeting CD19 and CD20 for relapsed B-cell cancers
This trial tests a new type of CAR T-cell therapy that targets two markers (CD19 and CD20) on B-cell cancer cells. It is for people whose B-cell leukemia or lymphoma has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 14–75 - NCT06503107RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nanobody-based CAR-T cells for multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy that targets a protein called BCMA on your myeloma cells. It is for people with multiple myeloma that has not responded to or has come back after several prior treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06503146RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging tracer for detecting various cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent, [18F]FAPI-74, which might help detect certain cancers more clearly. The scan looks for a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that is often found in tumors. If you have one of the listed cancers and are about to start treatment, this study could help doctors see where the cancer is and how it responds to therapy.
