Studying ELVN-001 for Japanese adults with CML
This trial tests a new drug called ELVN-001 for people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have not responded to or could not take at least two prior treatments. It's for Japanese patients, including those with a specific genetic change (T315I mutation). The goal is to see if ELVN-001 can help control the leukemia.

This trial studies a personalized approach to palliative care for people with advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer who are being treated with immunotherapy. It aims to improve quality of life and symptom management.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06787625Recruiting
Growing tumor models from colorectal cancer and liver metastases
This study takes samples from colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and grows them in the lab. The goal is to create models that can help researchers understand the cancer better and find new treatments.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06787911RecruitingPhase 2
Donafenib and immunotherapy before surgery for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—donafenib (a targeted therapy) and an immunotherapy (anti-PD-1 antibody)—given before surgery for locally advanced differentiated thyroid cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor to make surgery easier and more complete. If you have this type of thyroid cancer that is hard to remove completely with surgery alone, this study may be an option.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06788366Recruiting
AI tool to predict outcomes in metastatic lung cancer
This trial is testing whether artificial intelligence can help predict how well people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) respond to immunotherapy or chemo-immunotherapy. If you have stage IV NSCLC and have started this treatment, your data may help build a better prediction tool.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06788548Recruiting
Fluorescence-Guided Surgery for Early Stomach Cancer
This trial tests a new technique that uses a special dye to highlight the first lymph nodes where stomach cancer might spread, allowing surgeons to remove only the necessary nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06788639Recruiting
Long-term study of Breyanzi for CLL/SLL in real-world care
This study looks at people with CLL or SLL who have already been treated with the CAR T-cell therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel (Breyanzi) in routine medical care. It collects information about how well the treatment works and how patients are doing over time, without giving any new treatment.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06788652Recruiting
Study of Liso-cel for mantle cell lymphoma after market approval
This study looks at patients with mantle cell lymphoma who have already received a treatment called lisocabtagene maraleucel (Liso-cel) as part of standard care. It helps researchers understand how well the therapy works in real-world use.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06788886Recruiting
Breathing practice for brain and mental health in cancer and other illnesses
This study tests a simple breathing practice to see if it can improve brain health and mental well-being for people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, or their caregivers. You will do light exercises and answer questionnaires, and some participants will also have an MRI brain scan.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT06788847Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided needle knife for Dupuytren's contracture
This trial tests a less invasive procedure using a needle-knife guided by ultrasound to treat Dupuytren's contracture, which causes fingers to curl. It may be an option if you haven't had prior treatment on the same hand and are in otherwise good health.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06789003Recruiting
Prehabilitation with exercise for multiple myeloma patients
This trial tests whether a prehabilitation program using adapted physical activity can help multiple myeloma patients prepare for a stem cell transplant. It may improve your strength and recovery before and after the transplant.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT06789172RecruitingPhase 1
New drug OKN4395 with or without pembrolizumab for solid tumors
This trial tests a new oral drug called OKN4395, which targets a COX2-related immune pathway, alone or with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab, in people with advanced solid tumors. It may be an option if you have certain types of cancer that have stopped responding to other treatments.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06789601RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06790082RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI PET scan to diagnose pleural mesothelioma
