Adalimumab combo therapy for esophageal cancer before surgery
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adalimumab), chemotherapy, and a targeted therapy pill (apatinib) before surgery for esophageal cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this mix helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Hangzhou, ChinaAges 18–75 - NCT06577272Recruiting
Predicting cancer return after tumor ablation
This study looks at people with liver cancer who are treated with a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA). It aims to create a tool that can predict the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT06577311RecruitingPhase 2
Light therapy for facial skin cancer (SCCis)
This study tests a light-activated treatment (photodynamic therapy) for a very early form of skin cancer on the face. It may offer an alternative to surgery.
Aventura, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06577532RecruitingEarly Phase 1
KRAS mRNA vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial is testing a new mRNA vaccine (ABO2102) designed to target KRAS mutations in advanced solid tumors. It may be an option if your cancer has a KRAS mutation and standard treatments are no longer working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06577844Recruiting
Video support for lung cancer surgery patients
This trial tests whether a video tool helps patients prepare for lung cancer surgery. It aims to improve understanding and reduce anxiety before and after the procedure.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06577883Recruiting
New chest X-ray technique for lung cancer screening
This trial tests a new type of chest X-ray called tomosynthesis to improve lung cancer screening. It looks at people who are getting screened for lung cancer, have a suspicious spot on their lung, or have just been diagnosed—as long as they haven't been treated for lung cancer before.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 30–85 - NCT06578052Recruiting
Irinotecan liposome with capecitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (irinotecan liposome and capecitabine) for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help slow the disease.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06579248RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cooling device to protect taste during radiation
This trial tests a special mouthpiece that cools the tongue during radiation therapy for advanced larynx cancer. It may help prevent taste loss caused by treatment.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06579417Recruiting
Testing a faster MRI for prostate cancer detection
This trial is testing a new, faster type of MRI scan (called biparametric MRI) to see if it can detect prostate cancer as well as the standard scan. It may help you avoid a longer scan and possibly reduce the need for contrast dye.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06579469Recruiting
Study of later effects of CAR T cell therapy
This study follows children and young adults who received CAR T cell therapy to understand any long-term side effects that may appear months to years later. By joining, you help researchers learn how to better care for patients after this treatment.
Aurora, ColoradoAges Up to 30 years - NCT06579911Recruiting
Micro-ultrasound vs. MRI for prostate biopsy
This trial compares two advanced imaging techniques—high-frequency micro-ultrasound and multiparametric MRI—to guide biopsies for men who may have aggressive prostate cancer. The goal is to see which method better detects cancer while reducing unnecessary biopsies.
Salzburg, State of SalzburgAges 18–99 - NCT06580301RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of YK012 for relapsed or refractory B-ALL
This trial tests a new drug, YK012, for people with a certain kind of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has returned or not gotten better after standard therapies. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works against these leukemia cells that have the CD19 marker.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06580574RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy to save the stomach or colon from surgery
This trial tests whether using immune checkpoint inhibitors alone (like checkpoint blockade drugs) can help people with certain gastric or colon cancers avoid surgery. It's for patients whose tumors have a specific genetic feature called dMMR/MSI-H and haven't spread to other parts of the body.
