Light therapy and sonidegib for multiple BCC
This trial tests a combination of blue-light therapy (a type of photodynamic therapy) and an oral medication called sonidegib for people with multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). It may be an option if you have several BCCs that are not suitable for surgery or radiation, or if you prefer not to have surgery.

CAR T-cell therapy for stomach and esophagus cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called CAR T-cell therapy that targets a protein called mesothelin found on some cancer cells. It is for people with advanced or recurrent cancer of the stomach or esophagus that has spread or come back after prior treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06623474Recruiting
Fat markers in blood for liver cancer study
This study is for people having liver cancer surgery. It will look at certain fats in your blood to see if they can help doctors understand and track liver cancer better.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06623487Recruiting
PET scan to guide immunotherapy for stage III lung cancer
This trial uses a special scan (68Ga-grazytracer PET) to see how well immunotherapy works for stage III non-small cell lung cancer before surgery or radiation. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06623500Recruiting
Iodine levels and health in thyroid cancer patients
This study looks at how iodine levels in your diet relate to thyroid cancer. If you have already had surgery for thyroid cancer, doctors will review your medical records and follow your health over time.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–65 - NCT06623565Recruiting
Advanced imaging for extensive brain tumor removal
This trial uses advanced imaging to help surgeons remove as much of a malignant brain tumor as safely possible. It may be a good fit if you have a new diagnosis of glioblastoma or a certain astrocytoma and are healthy enough for surgery.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06623578Recruiting
Robotic vs. open surgery for thyroid cancer that has spread
This study compares a robotic surgery method using small incisions under the armpit with standard open surgery for papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to lymph nodes on one side of the neck. It aims to see which approach is better for removing cancer and recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06623630RecruitingPhase 1
Carvykti with special radiation and chemo for kidney patients
This trial tests adding total body radiation and a chemotherapy drug (cyclophosphamide) before the standard Carvykti cell therapy for multiple myeloma patients who have kidney problems. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with reduced kidney function.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06623656RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery treatment comparison for non-small cell lung cancer
This trial compares two treatment approaches before surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): radiation plus immunotherapy versus chemotherapy plus immunotherapy. The goal is to see which combination works better to shrink the tumor before it is removed.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06624371RecruitingPhase 1
Atovaquone with radiation for children with brain tumors
This trial tests adding atovaquone to standard radiation therapy for children with aggressive brain tumors like high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain cancer) or medulloblastoma. The goal is to see if this drug, which targets energy production in cancer cells, can make radiation work better.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 2–25 - NCT06624475RecruitingPhase 2
New immunotherapy before surgery for high-risk basal cell cancer
This trial tests if giving a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) before surgery works better than one drug alone for people with large or high-risk basal cell skin cancer that needs surgery. The goal is to shrink the cancer and make surgery easier.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06624644RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
LNS8801 with or without pembrolizumab for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new drug called LNS8801, alone or with pembrolizumab, for people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to prior treatments, especially anti-PD-1 therapy.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06624917Recruiting
