This trial tests a minimally invasive heat treatment (thermal ablation) guided by ultrasound for small papillary thyroid cancers. It may be an option for patients who want to avoid surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06733766Recruiting
Heat therapy for returning thyroid cancer
This trial tests using ultrasound-guided heat (thermal ablation) to treat thyroid cancer that has come back in the neck after a prior thyroidectomy. The goal is to destroy the recurrent tumor using a needle-like device, avoiding another surgery for patients whose cancer has not spread elsewhere.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06733948RecruitingPhase 2
Dental stent to protect taste during NPC radiation
This trial tests whether a custom-fitted dental stent (like a mouthguard) can help protect your sense of taste during radiation and chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer. If you qualify, you'll receive either standard care or the stent, and your taste changes will be tracked.
SingaporeAges 21–100 - NCT06733987Recruiting
Pembrolizumab and immune aging in relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma
This study looks at how a type of immune cell aging (called 'immunological senescence') might affect how well the drug pembrolizumab works in people whose Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or not responded to treatment.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06734156Recruiting
Gut microbiome study in colorectal cancer patients
This study looks at how bacteria and other microbes in your gut are linked to colorectal cancer risk and outcomes. By collecting stool samples from people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer, researchers hope to find patterns that could improve understanding and future treatments.
Lisbon, Lisbon DistrictAges 40–74 - NCT06734182RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy plus chemo before surgery for HER2-mutant lung cancer
This study tests a combination of two targeted drugs (envafolimab and disitamab vedotin) plus chemotherapy (carboplatin) given before surgery for lung cancer that has a HER2 mutation. The goal is to see if this can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06734572RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/CT imaging study for solid tumors
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to see how a new imaging agent (18F-FAPIBiotin) spreads in the body and how much radiation it gives off. It's for people with confirmed solid tumors to help make future imaging more accurate.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT06734598RecruitingPhase 4
Botox for Jaw Tightness After Head and Neck Radiation
This study tests whether Botox injections into the jaw muscles can help head and neck cancer survivors who have trouble opening their mouths (trismus) after radiation therapy. If you have tight or painful jaw muscles and limited mouth opening, this treatment may offer relief.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06734637Recruiting
Peginterferon for essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera
This trial tests a medicine called peginterferon for people with two blood disorders: essential thrombocythemia (too many platelets) and polycythemia vera (too many red blood cells). The goal is to see if peginterferon can help control these conditions and is safe.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06734871RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CT1190B for relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests an experimental drug called CT1190B for people with a type of blood cancer (B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma) that has come back or stopped responding to at least two prior treatments. The study aims to see if the drug can help control the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06735495RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Two-target CAR T cells for relapsed B-cell blood cancers
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy that uses your own immune cells engineered to recognize two cancer targets (CD19 and CD22) to treat B-cell blood cancers that have come back or not responded to standard treatments. It may offer a treatment option when other therapies have stopped working.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 3–75 - NCT06735105Recruiting
Best MRI method for staging stomach cancer
This trial uses three different MRI scanning sequences to see which best helps stage (determine the spread of) stomach cancer. The goal is to improve how doctors plan treatment for gastric cancer.
KunmingAges 18–80 - NCT06735131RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests a combination of radiation therapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who haven't had chemotherapy for their advanced disease. It aims to see if adding radiation to standard chemotherapy can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06735326RecruitingPhase 2
Fluzoparib and Bevacizumab Before Surgery for Advanced Ovarian Cancer
This trial tests whether combining fluzoparib (a PARP inhibitor) with or without bevacizumab (a blood vessel growth blocker) before surgery can shrink advanced ovarian cancer. It is for women with a BRCA gene mutation whose cancer cannot be fully removed with surgery right now.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06735287Recruiting
Bladder-sparing treatment for large bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to treat large, non-invasive bladder cancer before and after surgery. It aims to avoid removing the bladder while still effectively treating the cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06735560Recruiting
PET scan with a tracer for liver, bile duct, or neuroendocrine tumors
This trial uses a special PET scan tracer (zirconium-labelled girentuximab) to see if it can find and track certain liver, bile duct, and pancreatic/intestinal neuroendocrine tumors. It may help doctors better understand your cancer and guide treatment decisions.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT06735690RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Immune cells plus vaccine after stem cell transplant for leukemia
This trial is for people with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are getting a stem cell transplant from a family donor. After transplant, you'd receive a treatment that combines specially designed immune cells (CAR T cells) that target your leukemia, plus a vaccine that helps those cells work better.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06736470Recruiting
Fluorescence measurement of brain tumor suction samples
This trial is testing a new way to measure fluorescence in fluid suctioned from the brain during glioma surgery. It may help surgeons better identify tumor tissue.
Kuopio, KuopioAges 18 years+ - NCT06736613RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test for tumor DNA in high-risk B-cell lymphoma
This trial uses a blood test to look for tumor DNA in people with high-risk B-cell lymphoma, to help predict if the lymphoma might spread to the brain or spinal cord. It may help doctors decide on extra treatments to prevent that spread.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06736678Recruiting
Nutritional drink to reduce side effects from pancreatic cancer treatment
This trial tests a special nutritional drink (oral immunonutrition) to see if it can reduce side effects from chemotherapy and radiation in people with pancreatic cancer. It may help you feel better during treatment if you are at risk for malnutrition.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06736847Recruiting
Lymph node spread in stomach cancer surgery
This trial looks at how stomach cancer spreads to lymph nodes and other tissues behind the stomach during surgery. It may help doctors understand which patients need more extensive surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT06737107Recruiting
Comparing lung segmentectomy methods for early lung cancer
This trial looks back at medical records to compare different ways of performing a segmentectomy (removing a small part of the lung) for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to see which approach might lead to better outcomes for patients like you.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06737523RecruitingPhase 1
A new combination therapy for relapsed or refractory AML
This trial tests a three-drug combination for patients whose AML has returned or not responded to prior treatment. It aims to see if adding a new drug (Chiglitazar) to standard treatments (Venetoclax and Azacitidine) can help control the leukemia.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06737588Recruiting
Better MRI scanning for prostate cancer detection
This study tests if a special MRI measurement (ADC) can improve how well a standard MRI finds prostate cancer. If you have a suspicious MRI and are scheduled for a biopsy, this might help better understand your results.
