Triptorelin to help protect fertility during cancer chemotherapy
This Phase 3 study tests whether a hormone medicine called triptorelin (a GnRH “fertility-protecting” medicine) can better protect ovarian function while you receive chemotherapy. The goal is to help preserve fertility and reduce the risk of early ovarian failure from cancer treatment.
GothenburgAges 14–42 - NCT06104241RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cell therapy for advanced digestive cancers
This trial tests a new cell therapy called BGT007 for people with advanced cancers of the digestive system (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, or colon) that have not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified to target a protein on your cancer cells.
Xuzhou, JangSuAges 18–70 - NCT06103916Recruiting
Testing the ADNEX model for ovarian tumors
This trial is testing how well a special ultrasound model (ADNEX) can predict whether an ovarian tumor is benign or cancerous. It helps doctors make better decisions, and it’s for people with complex ovarian tumors who speak Dutch.
Veldhoven, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06104215RecruitingEarly Phase 1
BGT007H cells for advanced digestive cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy called BGT007H for people with advanced digestive tract cancers (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, or colon) that have not responded to or stopped working after at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT06104085Recruiting
Imaging test for Trop2 in triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new imaging agent (99mTc-MY6349) to see if it can detect Trop2, a protein found on some breast cancer cells. It may help doctors better see and understand triple-negative breast cancer that has spread.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06074692RecruitingPhase 2
PARP inhibitor, SBRT, and immunotherapy for advanced sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of a PARP inhibitor drug, targeted radiation (SBRT), and immunotherapy for people with advanced sarcoma that has spread. It aims to see if this triple therapy can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 10–70 - NCT06132711RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T therapy for relapsed multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new kind of CAR-T cell therapy (called APRIL-BAFF-Bicephali CAR-T) for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if this therapy is safe and can help when other treatments have stopped working.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT05849857RecruitingPhase 2
Mosunetuzumab for follicular lymphoma that came back quickly
This Phase 2 study tests mosunetuzumab, an antibody treatment, for people with follicular lymphoma that relapsed (came back) or progressed soon after first treatment. It may help shrink the cancer again after early relapse or lack of response to standard therapy.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT03110822RecruitingPhase 1
Ruxolitinib, steroids, and lenalidomide for hard-to-treat myeloma
This Phase 1 trial tests a combination of ruxolitinib plus steroids and lenalidomide in people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. It’s designed for patients who have had at least two prior treatment options and whose myeloma is getting worse or not responding.
Alhambra, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01873131Recruiting
Laser or timolol gel for fast-growing birthmark in infants
This study compares three approaches—pulsed-dye laser, timolol (a medicated skin solution), or watch-and-wait—to see which works best to slow the growth of a hemangioma birthmark in young babies. It may help find a treatment that shrinks or controls the birthmark as early as possible.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 3 months - NCT06114225RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation before lung surgery for osteosarcoma
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and targeted radiation before surgery for osteosarcoma that has spread to the lungs. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink or control the lung tumors and make surgery more effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 10–65 - NCT06116019Recruiting
Online adaptive radiotherapy for cancer patients
This trial tests a new radiation therapy machine that adjusts the radiation plan in real-time based on changes in your body. It may help make treatment more precise and reduce side effects.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT03125343Recruiting
Watch-and-wait after rectal cancer treatment for select patients
This study looks at whether some people with rectal cancer can safely avoid immediate surgery after (chemo)radiation, instead closely monitoring their response. It may help some patients reduce treatment burden if the cancer fully responds.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05494060RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant chemo plus immunotherapy for ctDNA-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding an anti-cancer immune treatment and another targeted drug to standard chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of cancer coming back. It is for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows leftover cancer-related DNA after surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT04130971Recruiting
Testing tumor tissue to understand and predict colorectal cancer response
This study looks at tissue samples from people with colorectal cancer to better understand tumor features and how they may respond to treatment. If you have colorectal cancer, the trial may help researchers match future treatments more effectively.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05866692RecruitingPhase 1
First-in-human capsule for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a new oral capsule (TY-2699a) in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have limited treatment options. It will look for the safest dose and whether the drug can shrink tumors, especially in certain genetic/biomarker patterns.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06120387Recruiting
Radiation after kidney-sparing surgery for high-risk ureteral cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy after surgery that removes only part of the ureter or the entire kidney and ureter helps prevent cancer from coming back in patients who have high-risk features like aggressive cell type or deep tumor invasion.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06116396Recruiting
Liquid biopsy for newly diagnosed urinary cancers
This trial is testing a simple, non-invasive blood test to find genetic markers for urinary tract cancers. It's for people newly diagnosed who haven't started treatment yet.
MilanAges 40 years+ - NCT06117384Recruiting

Study of fruquintinib plus raltitrexed for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests two drugs, fruquintinib and raltitrexed, for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to or is no longer tolerable after standard treatments like fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06118307Recruiting
Ovarian cancer and family care study
This study aims to improve care for ovarian cancer by including people at different stages: those being checked for it, those with known risk factors, and those who are generally healthy. It could help researchers better understand and support patients and their families.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06121570RecruitingPhase 1
Study of immune cells from lymph nodes for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether using a patient's own immune cells from lymph nodes near the tumor, given as a treatment before surgery, can help shrink HER2-negative breast cancer. It is for people whose cancer has not responded fully to two cycles of initial chemotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04575363Recruiting
Testing a blood marker to predict pancreatic cancer outcomes
This study looks at a test called RPSA to see if it can help predict how pancreatic cancer may turn out. It includes people being treated at Reims University Hospital for pancreatic tumors that can be removed (or may become removable).
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06121557RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cells from lymph nodes for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a treatment using your own immune cells taken from lymph nodes near the tumor. The cells are grown in a lab and given back to you to fight cancer, along with another drug chosen by your doctor.
