This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy as a first treatment for children and young adults with high-risk neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
MoscowAges 1.5 years–18 years - NCT06072989RecruitingPhase 1
B4T2-001 CAR-T infusions for solid tumors without chemo
This trial tests a new kind of cell therapy called CAR-T that targets a protein called BT-001 on solid tumors. It uses repeat infusions and avoids the strong chemotherapy usually given before treatment, which may be easier to tolerate.
Shanghai, China/ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT06076226Recruiting
Donor telomere length and leukemia transplant outcomes
This trial looks at whether the length of telomeres (the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes) in donor blood cells affects recovery for people with acute leukemia who receive a stem cell transplant. It aims to see if a simple donor blood test can predict how well the transplant works.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 5–90 - NCT04558931RecruitingPhase 2
NK cell therapy to help control multiple myeloma after initial treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests using your own immune cells (NK cells) alone or with isatuximab as “maintenance” treatment to help multiple myeloma stay under control after initial therapy. It may help lengthen the time until the disease grows again by boosting your immune response and targeting myeloma cells.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT04687956Recruiting
Preventing arm swelling after breast cancer lymph node surgery
This study looks at ways to prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) related to breast cancer after surgery to remove lymph nodes. It may help people who are getting axillary lymph node dissection lower the chance of long-term swelling.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04741737Recruiting
Repeat lymph node biopsy for recurrent breast cancer
This study tests whether repeating a specific lymph node biopsy (sentinel lymph node biopsy) is safe and useful in people whose breast cancer has come back in the same breast. It may help doctors better understand whether lymph nodes are involved and guide next steps after surgery.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04817540RecruitingPhase 2
Testing anti-HER2 treatment for HER2-enriched early breast cancer
This trial tests an anti-HER2 medicine in people whose breast cancer is classified as “HER2-enriched” using a special lab test (PAM50). It aims to see whether this treatment can help prevent or control cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05406856Recruiting
Adaptive proton therapy for cervical cancer with chemo
This trial tests whether an “adaptive” type of radiation planning using proton therapy and MRI-guided brachytherapy can improve treatment for people with cervical cancer. It aims to deliver curative treatment more precisely while still combining it with chemotherapy (cisplatin) when appropriate.
LeidenAges 18 years+ - NCT05777824RecruitingPhase 2
Testing treatment after head and neck cancer response to chemo-immunotherapy
This Phase 2 study looks at what treatment is best after you first receive chemotherapy plus immunotherapy, then have surgery for head and neck squamous cell cancer. It tries to use how your tumor responds (shown in lab tissue after treatment) to guide the next steps, which may improve outcomes.
Beijin, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06079333RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy before and after surgery for BRAF-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether giving a targeted therapy pill (which attacks cancer cells with a BRAF mutation) before and after surgery can help treat anaplastic thyroid cancer that hasn't spread to other organs. It's for people whose cancer has a specific gene change (BRAF V600E or V600K) and who are healthy enough for surgery.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06080776RecruitingPhase 3
SH-1028 vs placebo for early-stage EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a pill called SH-1028 (an EGFR-targeted drug) versus a placebo to see if it helps prevent lung cancer from coming back after surgery in people with EGFR-mutated NSCLC. You may be eligible if you had complete removal of stage II-IIIB NSCLC and your tumor has a specific EGFR mutation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06082934RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Triple drug combo for newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL
This trial tests a combination of three targeted drugs (olverembatinib, venetoclax, and dexamethasone) for people newly diagnosed with a specific type of leukemia called Ph+ ALL. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease without needing traditional chemotherapy.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06081478RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted CAR-T cell therapy for advanced lymphoma or leukemia
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T) that targets two proteins on cancer cells—CD19 and CD22—to treat lymphoma or leukemia that has come back or not responded to standard treatment. It aims to see if this two-target approach works better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 14–85 - NCT06082648Recruiting
Brain and bowel recovery after ultra-low rectal cancer surgery
This trial studies how a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) and brain scans (fMRI) might help improve bowel function and quality of life after surgery for ultra-low rectal tumors. It is for patients who have had a specific surgery (intersphincteric resection) and a temporary ileostomy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05954702Recruiting
Tested added TRAM flap after esophagus surgery
This study looks at a surgical reconstructive technique (a “TRAM flap” made from tissue from the abdomen) during surgery for people with esophageal cancer who already had their esophagus removed. It aims to see whether this approach works better or more safely for rebuilding the food passage area.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06082180RecruitingPhase 3
Preventive neck lymph node removal in low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It compares two surgical approaches: one that removes just the thyroid gland, and another that also removes some lymph nodes in the center of the neck as a preventive measure. The goal is to see if removing these lymph nodes helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04925856Recruiting
