New pre-surgery treatment tailored to cancer markers in mouth cancer
This Phase 2 study tests medicines given before surgery for stage III/IV oral squamous cell carcinoma, choosing the treatment based on your tumor marker results. It aims to shrink the cancer and improve outcomes by using two targeted types of therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05125055RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test new throat cancer treatment before surgery
This trial tests giving anti–PD-1 immunotherapy plus a drug called TP before surgery for oral squamous cell carcinoma (mouth/throat cancer). The goal is to see whether this pre-surgery treatment improves how much the tumor responds under the microscope.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT02290145RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Cyclin D1–targeted chemotherapy before oral cancer surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests a chemotherapy plan given first (before surgery) for people with oral squamous cell carcinoma that has specific cancer markers and lymph node involvement. It aims to shrink or control the cancer so treatment after may work better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05961124RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose niraparib to reduce interruptions in ovarian maintenance
This trial tests whether a different starting dose (and adjustments) of niraparib can help people with advanced ovarian (or related) cancer stay on treatment without as many dose interruptions. It’s designed for people who have already finished first-line chemotherapy and whose cancer responded.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05444270Recruiting
Radiation and medicine for recurrent ovarian cancer
This trial studies a “salvage” (next-line) cancer treatment for recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, with or without a focused type of radiation. It may help by shrinking or controlling limited spots of cancer that have come back after prior standard treatment.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05794035Recruiting
Shorter radiation after skin cancer surgery for older adults
This study looks at whether giving a shorter course of radiation after surgery can help prevent skin cancer from coming back in people age 70 and older. It focuses on higher-risk skin cancers and checks how well the treatment works and what side effects occur.
CréteilAges 70 years+ - NCT06144346Recruiting
Radiation for limited breast cancer spread
This trial tests whether treating each spot of cancer that has spread (but only a few spots) with focused radiation can help control breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach can stop the cancer from growing further without needing strong whole-body treatments right away.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT02988921Recruiting
MRI and CT planning for esophagus or stomach-junction cancer treatment
This study checks whether MRI and CT scans can better measure how esophageal or stomach-junction tumors respond during chemoradiotherapy and help doctors map the exact treatment area. It may help improve targeting while you receive standard treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04263857Recruiting
Register of Stem Cell Transplant Patients
This study creates a record of people who are eligible to receive a stem cell (blood-forming cell) transplant. It helps researchers learn about transplant patients and outcomes over time.
MunichAges 18 years+ - NCT05451784RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PD-1 TIL therapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests an immune-cell treatment made from your tumor tissue. It aims to help people with advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer by collecting PD-1–positive immune cells and giving them back after treatment.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05939063Recruiting
Testing two surgery approaches for early left pancreatic cancer
This trial compares two ways of doing surgery in people with early, left-sided pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It may help find the approach with better outcomes while aiming to keep the operation safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06017284RecruitingPhase 3
Thalidomide for nausea in pancreatic cancer patients
This trial tests whether adding thalidomide to standard chemotherapy can help reduce nausea and vomiting in people with advanced pancreatic cancer. It is for patients who have not yet received any cancer treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06147349Recruiting
Kidney cancer observation study
This study follows people with kidney cancer who are scheduled for surgery to remove their tumor. It aims to learn more about the disease and how it behaves over time.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06146725Recruiting
Resection vs. biopsy in high-grade glioma patients
This study compares whether having surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible (resection) or just taking a small sample (biopsy) leads to better outcomes for people with a fast-growing brain tumor (high-grade glioma). The goal is to help guide treatment decisions.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06146738Recruiting
Palliative care vs. surgery for high-grade glioma patients
This study compares receiving palliative care (supportive treatments) versus surgery (removing the tumor) for people with a high-grade glioma, a fast-growing brain tumor. The goal is to find out which approach improves quality of life and survival.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06147570RecruitingPhase 2
Study of HS-10365 for RET fusion-positive lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called HS-10365 for people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called a RET fusion. The drug aims to block the growth of cancer cells with this mutation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04902937Recruiting
Testing how added radiation may work by immune and tumor markers
This study looks at people with non-metastatic invasive breast cancer who are getting curative breast surgery followed by planned radiation (sometimes with other anti-cancer medicines). Researchers want to understand whether a patient’s age and certain immune/tumor blood features can predict how well radiation helps.
JenaAges 18 years+ - NCT04571086Recruiting
FAPI-PET scan to help find and stage tumors
This study uses a special PET scan (FAPI-PET) during routine workup to help detect tumors and decide how far they may have spread. You may be able to take part if you need a staging or restaging scan and can safely complete the imaging.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06136351RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib with chemo for mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (zanubrutinib) and chemotherapy (bendamustine and rituximab) for people newly diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma. It is designed for older adults, those with certain genetic changes (TP53), or those who cannot tolerate standard chemotherapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04729543RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TCR cell therapy for melanoma and head and neck cancer
This early-phase study tests a lab-made T-cell treatment that targets a specific tumor marker (MC2) in melanoma and head and neck cancers. It aims to see if the treatment can safely shrink tumors and control cancer after standard options have run out.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05767307Recruiting
MRI for suspected prostate cancer in Denmark
This study is enrolling adults who have prostate cancer concerns and are being sent for an MRI scan. It aims to improve evaluation of suspected prostate cancer, which may help doctors decide next steps more accurately.
