Study of nutrition care for people with cancer
This study looks at how dietitians provide nutrition care to people with cancer who are malnourished or at risk. The goal is to find better ways to evaluate and support your nutrition during cancer treatment.
UppsalaAges 18 years+ - NCT06531460Recruiting
Omega-3 nutrition before lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether a special nutrition drink with omega-3 (a healthy fat found in fish) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. You may qualify if you are about to have lung removal surgery.
Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06531681Recruiting
Precision radiotherapy with MRI-guided technology
This trial tests a new type of radiotherapy that uses MRI scans to guide the radiation beam more precisely. It aims to treat tumors while reducing damage to healthy tissue.
HaikouAges 18–75 - NCT06532006RecruitingPhase 3
HLX22 plus trastuzumab and chemo for HER2+ stomach cancer
This trial tests adding a new drug, HLX22, to the standard combination of trastuzumab and chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this three-drug mix works better than the usual two-drug approach.
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06532058RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug for relapsed or hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests an experimental drug called QHRD107 combined with other medicines for people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the new combination is safe and helps control the leukemia.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06532084RecruitingPhase 2
Sorafenib to prevent relapse after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether the drug sorafenib can prevent blood cancer from returning after a stem cell transplant. It is for people who had a special combination of chemotherapy (bendamustine and cyclophosphamide) during their transplant and are at high risk for relapse.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–75 - NCT06532279RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BMX-001 with chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding BMX-001 (a drug that may protect healthy tissues) to standard chemoradiation can reduce side effects and improve outcomes for people with head and neck cancer. It's a randomized study, so you would have a 50/50 chance of getting BMX-001 or a placebo.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06532422Recruiting
Recovery after kidney cancer surgery done as day surgery
This study looks at how people recover after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for kidney cancer when they go home the same day. It will help doctors understand if this approach is safe and improves recovery.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06532539RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab with radiation for recurrent endometrial cancer
This trial tests a combined treatment of the immunotherapy drug cadonilimab plus radiation and chemotherapy for endometrial cancer that has come back or spread to only a few places. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer better.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06532617RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for advanced pancreatic cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a new drug combo (cadonilimab plus either S-1 or capecitabine) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not spread to other organs and who have already tried one standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
