Personalized pembrolizumab after strong chemo response for early triple-negative breast cancer
This trial is for people with early triple-negative breast cancer who had a strong response to chemotherapy combined with pembrolizumab before surgery. It aims to find the best way to continue using pembrolizumab after surgery to reduce the risk of cancer coming back.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06607029Recruiting
Painkiller-free anesthesia for brain tumor surgery
This trial tests whether avoiding opioid painkillers during anesthesia for brain tumor removal can be safe and effective. It may help patients recover with fewer side effects.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT06607120Recruiting
Trial for advanced liver cancer with TACE and immunotherapy
This trial is for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that has spread outside the liver or into major blood vessels. It tests combining a procedure called TACE with immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) and targeted drugs to see how well they work together.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06607276RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant adebrelimab and capecitabine for high-risk bile duct cancer
This trial is for people with bile duct cancer who have had surgery to remove all visible cancer but are at high risk of it coming back. It tests whether adding two medications — adebrelimab (an immunotherapy) and capecitabine (a chemotherapy pill) — after surgery can help prevent the cancer from returning.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06607406Recruiting
Timing of radiation after surgery for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether starting radiation therapy more than 6 weeks (but within 16 weeks) after surgery is safe and effective for people with certain high-risk head and neck cancers. It could help those who had to delay radiation for recovery or other reasons.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06607289Recruiting
Blood cancer patients on CAR-T therapy long-term study
This study is for people with blood cancers who are treated with CAR-T cell therapy. Researchers will follow participants over time to learn more about how this therapy works in the real world.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06607419RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Blinatumomab for leftover leukemia in children with B-ALL
This trial tests whether a drug called blinatumomab can clear leftover leukemia cells in children with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who still have traces of disease after standard treatment. It aims to reduce the chance of relapse.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 1 month–18 years - NCT06607458RecruitingPhase 2
Liver-focused chemo for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests giving high-dose melphalan directly into the liver's blood supply, followed by standard cancer therapy, for people whose colorectal cancer has spread mainly to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach is safer and works better than standard treatment alone.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06607627RecruitingPhase 3
Testing gefurulimab in children with generalized myasthenia gravis
This study tests a new drug called gefurulimab in children and teens with generalized myasthenia gravis (a disease that causes muscle weakness). It looks at how safe and effective the drug is, and how it works in the body.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 6–17 - NCT06607692RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
LuPARPed: Targeted radiation plus olaparib for certain childhood cancers
This trial tests a combination of a radioactive drug (Lutathera) and a targeted pill (olaparib) for children and teens whose solid tumors have come back or not responded to treatment and show high levels of a specific receptor (SSTR) on scans. The goal is to see if this two-drug approach can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Boadilla del Monte, MadridAges 3 years+ - NCT06607770RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cryoablation with immunotherapy for multiple lung cancers
This trial tests freezing tumors (cryoablation) combined with two drugs (Karelizumab and Apatinib) for people who have several small lung cancer spots in their lungs but no spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helps shrink or control the tumors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06607796RecruitingPhase 3
PTS injection for stage 4 lung cancer without gene mutations
This trial tests injecting a drug called PTS directly into lung tumors for people with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer that doesn't have certain gene changes. It is for patients whose tumors have stayed stable after first-line treatment and are located in a small area of the outer lung.
