Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06652607Recruiting
PSA response as a sign of treatment success in prostate cancer
This trial is for men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and is being treated with hormone therapy. It looks at whether a drop in PSA levels after six months can help predict how well the treatment is working.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT06652672Recruiting
Sentinel Node and Organ-Sparing Surgery for Early Colon Cancer
This trial tests a less invasive surgery approach for early-stage colon cancer. It uses a special dye to find and remove only the first lymph node (sentinel node) while removing just the part of the colon with the tumor, possibly avoiding a bigger surgery.
AmersfoortAges 18 years+ - NCT06652633RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term follow-up of Galapagos CAR T-cell therapy recipients
This study is for people who have already received a specific type of cell therapy (CAR T-cell therapy) made by Galapagos. It will follow them over the long term to see how they are doing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06652750Recruiting
5G cloud-based check-up for heart device patients
This study tests whether a 5G-based remote check-up (over the cloud) is safe and effective for people with certain implanted heart devices, like pacemakers. You'll skip your first clinic visit and instead use a video call or remote check to see how your device is doing.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06653062Recruiting
Blood test to watch for liver cancer return
This trial studies a new blood test that looks for DNA from cancer cells' mitochondria to see if it can catch liver cancer coming back earlier. The goal is to help doctors find recurrence faster and improve follow-up care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06653127Recruiting
Using a blood test to watch for biliary tract cancer return
This trial studies a new blood test that looks for bits of tumor DNA (ct-mtDNA) to see if it can detect if biliary tract cancer has come back earlier than standard scans. The test might help doctors monitor for recurrence more closely.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06653478Recruiting
Smarter cancer risk assessment using all your medical info
This study is testing a new way to use medical images, records, and other information to better assess cancer risk and guide treatment. It may be a good fit if you have a suspicious spot in your lungs, stomach, or colon, or if you are healthy and want to help with early cancer detection research.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06653517RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy before surgery for a type of jaw tumor
This trial tests whether taking two targeted drugs (dabrafenib and trametinib) before surgery can shrink a specific type of jaw tumor called ameloblastoma. The tumor must have a certain genetic change (BRAF V600E mutation) and require a large jaw surgery. The goal is to see if the drugs make surgery less extensive or more successful.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06654037RecruitingPhase 1
Testing abemaciclib plus 5-FU for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial is testing whether adding a targeted drug called abemaciclib to the standard chemotherapy 5-FU can help people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSS) that has stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06655233Recruiting
Exploring gut bacteria in pancreatic cancer tumors
This trial studies bacteria found inside pancreatic tumors to see if they can help diagnose or predict the course of the disease. You may be eligible if you have a suspected pancreatic cancer and need a special biopsy (EUS-FNB).
Hunan, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT06655259RecruitingPhase 2
TURP with standard therapy for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding a surgery called TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) to the usual hormone therapy and chemotherapy can help men with metastatic prostate cancer that has spread to lymph nodes, bone, or other organs. The surgery helps relieve urinary symptoms and may improve how well the cancer responds to treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06655246RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib and imatinib for advanced GIST
This trial tests a new drug, ziftomenib, combined with imatinib for people with advanced or spreading gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that have a KIT mutation. It may help if your GIST has gotten worse while on imatinib.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06656728Recruiting
Simplifying cancer screening with a new tool
This trial tests a new screening tool that helps doctors find cancer. It involves completing medical exams and questionnaires. The study is for people who have not had cancer in the last 5 years.
Tel AvivAges 40 years+ - NCT06656949Recruiting
ICG injection for lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer
This trial tests whether injecting a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) in different spots can better find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for endometrial cancer. It may help doctors remove fewer nodes and reduce side effects.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06657131Recruiting
PSMA PET scan for prostate cancer recurrence
This trial looks at how well a special PET scan (called PSMA PET) can find prostate cancer that has come back after treatment. It uses a radioactive tracer to spot cancer cells. Your doctor may already have ordered this scan as part of your regular care.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06657144RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CHS-114 and toripalimab for advanced solid tumors

New drug combo for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, irinotecan liposome and S-1, for people with a type of nose and throat cancer that has spread or come back after treatment with immunotherapy (PD-1/L1 inhibitors). The goal is to see if this new combination can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
Zhuhai, GuangzhouAges 18–70 - NCT06658145Recruiting
New tool for vaginal hysterectomy for fibroids

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 60 years - NCT06658405RecruitingPhase 2
HPV vaccine after cervical lesion treatment
This trial tests whether an HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) can help women over 45 who still have HPV after treatment for a high-grade cervical lesion. It compares vaccinated and unvaccinated patients to see if vaccination lowers the risk of the lesion coming back.
LilleAges 45 years+ - NCT06658782Recruiting
MRI vs ultrasound for liver cancer detection in high-risk people
