Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06660446Recruiting
Exercise during chemo for lymphoma patients
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program during chemotherapy can help people with lymphoma feel stronger and have fewer side effects. You would take part in supervised exercise sessions twice a week for 20 weeks.

Radiation therapy with or without breath-hold for left breast cancer
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for left breast cancer: one using a breath-holding technique to protect the heart, and another without it. The goal is to see which is safer and more effective for women who have had surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06662006RecruitingPhase 2
Nal-IRI chemo with immunotherapy and radiation for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (Nal-IRI, 5-FU, leucovorin), an immunotherapy drug (PD-L1 inhibitor), and a targeted anti-angiogenic pill, with or without radiation (SBRT), as a second-line treatment for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer that has progressed after first-line therapy.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06662071Recruiting
Personalized bladder cancer treatment using organoid drug testing
This trial tests if using a patient's own tumor cells grown in a lab (organoids) can help choose the best chemotherapy to put directly into the bladder. It is for people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who need their first round of this treatment.
Binzhou, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06662110Recruiting
Blood test to predict chemo and immunotherapy response in stomach cancer
This trial tests whether a blood test (called immune proteomics) can predict how well chemotherapy and immunotherapy work in people with stomach cancer. If you qualify, you would receive standard chemo or chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery, and researchers will study your blood to see if it can guide future treatment.
Xuhui District, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06662929Recruiting
Arabic quality of life measure for head and neck cancer patients
This study will test a new Arabic questionnaire to measure how radiotherapy affects the quality of life of head and neck cancer patients. If you are receiving, have received, or will receive radiation treatment for head or neck cancer, you may be able to help by filling out surveys.
