Can liver stiffness predict cancer return after ablation?
This trial studies if measuring liver and spleen stiffness can help predict the risk of liver cancer coming back after radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a treatment that uses heat to destroy tumors. It aims to improve follow-up care for people with chronic liver disease and early-stage liver cancer.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06777420Recruiting
Question list for breast cancer patients before chemo
This study tests whether a list of helpful questions can improve communication and care for breast cancer patients who will receive chemotherapy before surgery. It aims to support patients in talking with their doctors about what matters most to them.
Uppsala, Region UppsalaAges 18 years+ - NCT06777485Recruiting
China liver cancer patient registry study
This study is creating a database of people with liver cancer (including hepatocellular carcinoma and other types). It aims to collect health information and samples over time to better understand the disease and improve future care. If you join, you will be asked to provide blood and leftover tissue from surgery or biopsy, and to follow up with the research team.
Anqing, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06777628Recruiting
Blood test study to predict immunotherapy success in liver cancer
This study looks at blood cells from people with liver cancer (HCC) to see if we can predict early whether immunotherapy will work for them. It's a research study that involves blood tests during your normal care.
Bologna, Laura GramantieriAges 18 years+ - NCT06777979RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for children with hard-to-treat leukemia
This trial tests a special kind of immune cell therapy that targets two markers (CD19 and CD22) on leukemia cells. It is for children and teens whose leukemia has come back multiple times or has not responded to standard treatment.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 years - NCT06778031RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SHR-A1811 for HER2-positive bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new drug, SHR-A1811, for people with HER2-positive bile duct cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It may help control the cancer if you haven't had other treatments for this stage.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–75 - NCT06778187RecruitingPhase 2
Oral arsenic therapy for TP53-mutated blood cancers
This trial tests a combination of oral medications, including arsenic trioxide, venetoclax, and a chemotherapy agent (azacitidine or decitabine), for people with certain blood cancers (AML, MDS, or CMML) that have a TP53 gene mutation. The goal is to see if this pill-based treatment can help control the cancer.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06778317Recruiting
Blood test to predict liver cancer in cirrhosis patients
This trial tests if a simple blood test can help predict who with cirrhosis might develop liver cancer, so doctors can monitor and treat those patients earlier.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06778382RecruitingPhase 2
Delaying treatment after destroying lung spots from colorectal cancer
This trial tests if it's safe to wait before starting full-body therapy after treating a small number of lung tumors (5 or fewer) in people whose colorectal cancer had been gone for at least 6 months. You would first get local treatments like surgery or radiation to destroy the lung spots, then delay additional cancer drugs to see how you do.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06778408RecruitingPhase 2
Hybrid arc palliative radiation therapy for metastasis
This trial tests a new radiation technique for people with cancer that has spread to bones or soft tissues in the chest, belly, or pelvis. The goal is to safely deliver effective palliative radiation to ease symptoms.
