Ibrutinib for anemia caused by immune destruction in CLL/SLL
This Phase 2 trial tests ibrutinib, a prescription medicine, to treat active autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) in people with CLL/SLL or a CLL-like condition. It may help reduce anemia when steroids don’t work well, don’t last, or are needed too long.
FlorenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06152757RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cell therapy for advanced gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (BGT007H cells) for people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers that have not responded to at least two standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells that are modified to target and attack the cancer.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT05824403Recruiting
Pancreas disease study for non-cancer patients
This study follows people with certain inflammatory or cyst-related pancreas conditions to learn more about their health and outcomes. It may help improve understanding of these pancreas problems and guide better care.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT03868722RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Acalabrutinib plus venetoclax for high-risk CLL with infection risk
This study tests whether acalabrutinib plus venetoclax can control newly diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in people who are at higher risk of infections or who likely need treatment soon. It aims to see if this combination can improve disease control while keeping patients safe.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06170710RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy after chemoradiation for high-risk head and neck cancer
This trial tests if adding immunotherapy after standard chemoradiation helps prevent cancer from returning in people with high-risk head and neck cancer. It is for those who have completed surgery and have certain high-risk features.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06156150Recruiting
B7-H4 protein in tumor vaccine for glioma
This study looks at a protein called B7-H4 to help create a potential vaccine for glioma (a type of brain tumor). It uses a small tissue sample taken during your surgery to check if the vaccine might work for you.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06167629Recruiting
PSMA PET scan study for prostate cancer
This study uses a special type of PET scan called PSMA PET to better understand and track prostate cancer. The scan helps doctors see where the cancer is in the body and if treatment is working.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06029504Recruiting
Optical-guided sentinel node biopsy for vulvar cancer staging
This trial tests a new optical method using a dye to find and remove the first lymph node (sentinel node) that cancer might spread to, to stage vulvar cancer more accurately. It's for patients with a smaller tumor (under 4 cm) that hasn't been treated in the groin area before.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06156527RecruitingPhase 2
Lazertinib alone vs lazertinib plus Avastin for EGFR+ lung cancer in smokers
This trial tests if adding bevacizumab (Avastin) to lazertinib works better than lazertinib alone for advanced non-small cell lung cancer with an EGFR mutation. It is for people who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime.
Suwon, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT02649647Recruiting
Surgery plan for rectal cancer after chemo-radiation
This trial looks at a specific type of rectal surgery after you’ve already finished chemo-radiation, aiming to remove the tumor while trying to preserve the anal sphincter (muscle control). It’s meant for people whose cancer can be safely operated on and who don’t have spread to distant organs.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05258448Recruiting
Chemo-radiotherapy for advanced, non-surgical lung cancer
This trial studies treatment that combines chemotherapy and radiation for people with advanced lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It may help improve cure chances for patients who can complete the study tests, including heart scans.

BredaAges 18 years+ - NCT06052098Recruiting
Comparing two ablation methods for early-stage lung cancer
This study compares two ways to destroy early-stage lung cancer without surgery: one using a needle through the chest (CT-guided) and another using a thin tube through the mouth (bronchoscopy-guided). It might be an option if you have small, outer-edge lung cancer and cannot or prefer not to have surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04992780RecruitingPhase 2
Hypo-fractionated radiation versus standard radiation for lung cancer
This study compares two different radiation schedules for stage III non-small cell lung cancer, both combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. It aims to see whether giving radiation in a different way can work as well (or better) and be safe while treating the cancer.
