New drug combo for a common type of colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new immunotherapy (cadonilimab) with standard chemotherapy (capecitabine, oxaliplatin) and bevacizumab for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has a RAS mutation or is located on the right side of the colon. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the current standard of care as a first treatment.

Honokiol for early-stage lung cancer before surgery
This trial tests a natural compound called honokiol in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who are scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see if honokiol can help shrink or control the tumor before it is removed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06566560Recruiting
Using unused cancer pills safely
This trial tests if unused oral cancer pills that were stored at room temperature can be safely given to other patients. If you take a room-temperature oral cancer pill, you may be able to help reduce medication waste.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges Any age - NCT06566586RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TQB3702 plus immunochemotherapy for B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new tablet (TQB3702) combined with standard immune-and-chemo therapy for certain types of B-cell lymphoma that have come back or not responded to previous treatment. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06566716Recruiting
Blood test to check for cancer risk before ovarian mass surgery
This study tests a new blood test to help doctors determine if an ovarian mass is cancerous before surgery. If you are a woman over 18 with an ovarian cyst or mass that needs surgery, this test could help guide your care.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06566807RecruitingPhase 2
Orelabrutinib plus obinutuzumab for marginal zone lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (orelabrutinib and obinutuzumab) as a first treatment for marginal zone lymphoma that has returned or progressed after local therapy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current options.
