Tislelizumab with chemo and radiation for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) with chemotherapy and chest radiation for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has spread. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink or control the cancer longer.
Jincheng, ShanxiAges 18–80 - NCT06536959RecruitingPhase 2
VA plus PD-1 inhibitor for relapsed AML and high-risk MDS
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—a chemotherapy-like agent called VA and a PD-1 inhibitor (which helps your immune system fight cancer)—for people with AML or high-risk MDS that has not responded to or returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can work better than standard treatments alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06536881Recruiting
Diet and gut health during breast cancer chemo

Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06536998Recruiting
Liver Cancer Imaging and Tumor Study
This study looks at how liver cancer appears on CT or MRI scans and how it connects with the tumor's biology. It aims to find better ways to understand and treat liver cancer by linking imaging features with the tumor environment.

Neoadjuvant therapy for bladder cancer with active surveillance
This trial tests whether people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer can safely avoid immediate surgery or radiation after a short course of chemotherapy. Instead, they would be closely monitored and only treated if the cancer comes back.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06537037Recruiting
Imaging study of urologic cancer with radiogenomics
This study looks at how scans (CT or MRI) can help doctors understand the environment around urologic tumors. It may lead to better ways to predict treatment response and outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06537193Recruiting
Shorter MRI vs CT scan to check for liver cancer return
This trial compares a shorter MRI using a special dye to a CT scan for detecting liver cancer recurrence in people who have been cancer-free for at least two years after surgery or local treatment.
Seoul, Songpa-gu , 88, Olympic-ro 43-gilAges 20 years+ - NCT06537726Recruiting
Breath test for fungal infections in leukemia patients
This trial tests if a simple breath analysis can detect invasive fungal infections early in people with acute leukemia who are undergoing chemotherapy and have a low white blood cell count. Early detection could help start treatment sooner.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06537843RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax, cytarabine and metformin for AML
This trial tests a combination of three drugs – venetoclax, cytarabine, and metformin – for adults with AML who cannot receive standard high-dose chemotherapy. It aims to see if this gentler mix can help control the leukemia with fewer side effects.
BelémAges 18 years+ - NCT06537752Recruiting
Study on symptoms of ethanol in breast cancer patients
This trial checks how breast cancer patients react to ethanol (alcohol) during chemotherapy with docetaxel. It aims to understand side effects and safety for people getting this treatment.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06537908Recruiting
Check if a new drug combo works for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) and an anti-VEGF drug for people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
ShanghaiAges 18–90 - NCT06537960Recruiting
Later scan images to better see bladder cancer spread
This trial tests whether taking extra, later images during your standard FDG PET-CT scan can give doctors a better view of how far your muscle-invasive bladder cancer has spread. You may be eligible if you are 18 or older, have confirmed muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and are already getting this type of scan.
Suresnes, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06538012RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tumor immune cells plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new approach: taking immune cells from your own tumor (TILs), growing them in the lab, then giving them back to you along with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab. It is for people with advanced lung cancer who have run out of standard options.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–90 - NCT06538376Recruiting
New portable chest X-ray for ICU patients
This study tests a new portable chest X-ray that can be used in the ICU to check for problems like fluid in the lungs, trouble breathing, or swallowing issues. It is designed to help doctors see these problems more easily without moving you to the radiology department.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06538337Recruiting
Shorter radiation therapy for endometrial and cervical cancer
This trial tests a shorter, more targeted type of radiation therapy for people with endometrial or cervical cancer who have had surgery. It aims to reduce side effects by using daily scans to adjust the treatment plan.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06538402Recruiting
Comparing two J-pouch sizes in pouch surgery
This trial compares two different J-pouch sizes (10 cm vs. 15 cm) during surgery for ulcerative colitis or FAP. The goal is to see if one size leads to better outcomes.
AarhusAges 18–60 - NCT06538636Recruiting
Improving lung cancer screening for Veterans
This study is testing a new way to find Veterans who might benefit from yearly lung cancer screening. It uses a computer model to estimate your personal benefit, even if you don't fit the usual screening guidelines.
Bedford, MassachusettsAges 50–80 - NCT06538857RecruitingPhase 2
Study of CEB-01 for resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called CEB-01 in people with pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed. It aims to see if adding this drug to surgery improves outcomes.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06538896RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab and nab-paclitaxel for advanced triple-negative breast cancer with bone spread
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, tislelizumab (an immunotherapy) and nab-paclitaxel (a chemotherapy), as the first treatment for advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.

Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06539702Recruiting
Blood tests and BRAF for thyroid nodules
This trial studies whether routine blood counts and a BRAF genetic test can help predict cancer in thyroid nodules that were found to be suspicious (Bethesda 3 category) before surgery. The goal is to better understand which nodules are cancerous.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT06539806Recruiting
Losartan for pancreatic cancer with high blood pressure

TantaAges 50–85 - NCT06539832Recruiting
Gut bacteria and immunity in people with an abnormal blood protein
This study looks at how your gut bacteria (intestinal flora) and immune system relate to a condition called monoclonal gammopathy, where an abnormal protein is found in the blood. The trial will check samples from your blood, plasma, and stool to understand these connections.
