IP-001 with ablation for colorectal liver metastases
This trial tests whether adding the drug IP-001 to tumor ablation (microwave or irreversible electroporation) helps control colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to find the best dose and see how the immune system responds.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06630780Recruiting
Reducing radiation after surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who had a good response to chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery can safely have less radiation after surgery. It aims to reduce side effects while keeping treatment effective.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06630845Recruiting
Comparing two whole-body scan methods for metastatic cancer
This trial tests whether a newer type of MRI scan (called whole-body DWI) can work as well as a standard PET/CT scan (called FDG PET) for finding and monitoring cancer that has spread. If you have metastatic cancer and already have a scheduled PET/CT or other scan, you may be able to get both scans done, helping researchers compare the two methods.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06630962Recruiting
Financial help for newly diagnosed cancer patients
This study looks at whether getting help with financial issues (like insurance and costs) can reduce the money worries and problems that come with cancer treatment. It is for people newly diagnosed with breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer who haven't started treatment yet.
Ile-IfeAges 18 years+ - NCT06631092RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer vaccine with standard therapy for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine (NECVAX-NEO1) given along with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery for patients with triple-negative breast cancer. The vaccine is customized to target specific mutations in your tumor, aiming to boost your immune system and improve treatment outcomes.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT06631391RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This trial tests a new natural killer (NK) cell therapy from donated umbilical cord blood for children with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this immune cell therapy is safe and can help fight the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 1 day–18 years - NCT06631443Recruiting
Asian Watch-and-Wait Study for Rectal Cancer
This study is for people with rectal cancer who have had treatment like radiation or chemo and their tumor has disappeared or nearly disappeared. Instead of surgery right away, doctors will closely monitor the cancer with regular check-ups to make sure it stays gone.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18 years+ - NCT06631521RecruitingPhase 1
Hormone pills before prostate cancer surgery
This trial tests two oral hormone drugs (darolutamide and relugolix) given before prostate removal surgery for men with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks the tumor and improves treatment outcomes.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06632262RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drugs for cancers with FGFR gene changes
This trial tests two new drugs, ABSK061 and ABSK043, in people whose cancers have specific changes in the FGFR2 or FGFR3 genes. It may be an option if your cancer has stopped responding to standard treatments or if no standard treatment is available.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06632431Recruiting
Endometrial cancer study comparing old and new staging systems
This study looks at tissue samples and medical records of people with endometrial cancer who had surgery between 2018 and 2022. It aims to compare older and newer ways of describing the cancer stage to help improve treatment decisions.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT06632964RecruitingPhase 1
Testing VT-101 for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
This study tests a new drug called VT-101 for people with a type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle wall. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective. It might be an option if you have already had a biopsy and are not eligible for or refuse surgery.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06632717RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo through liver artery with lipiodol for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the liver artery (HAIC) mixed with a special oil called lipiodol. It may help people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be treated with standard methods or who cannot tolerate them.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06632860RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a new PET tracer for cancer imaging
This trial tests a new imaging tracer called TATE-RGD to see if it can better spot certain tumors when used with a standard PET/CT scan. If you have cancer, you may be able to help by getting two scans a week apart.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06632886Recruiting
AI study to find cancers from your past CT scans
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at CT scans you've already had (without dye) to try and find signs of several types of cancer early. It may help find cancer sooner when it's easier to treat.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06633133Recruiting
Virtual ileostomy vs. diverting ileostomy for rectal cancer surgery
This trial compares a virtual ileostomy (a system that monitors leaks without creating a temporary opening) to a traditional diverting ileostomy (a temporary bag) in people having rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if the virtual method is safer and avoids a second surgery.
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT06633120Recruiting
Growing eggs in the lab for women with PCOS
This study tests a way to mature eggs outside the body for women with PCOS or high ovarian reserve. It might help avoid side effects from fertility medications.

CAR-T cell therapy for CD5+ T-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells, engineered to find and attack cancer cells that have a protein called CD5. It is for people with a type of T-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to other treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT06633380Recruiting
