Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06155383RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery and immunotherapy combo for stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (Disitamab Vedotin, Toripalimab, and XELOX) given before and after surgery for gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the tumor and prevent it from coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05029791Recruiting
Study of immune markers in treated metastatic melanoma
This study looks at immune and tumor “behavior” markers in people with metastatic melanoma after standard treatment. It may help researchers understand why treatment works for some people and not others by testing blood and skin tumor samples.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05689619Recruiting
Silibinin after one brain metastasis surgery for lung or breast cancer
This trial studies silibinin, a natural substance, to help prevent brain metastasis from coming back after surgery. It is for people with lung (NSCLC) or breast cancer who have exactly one small brain metastasis that is fully removed and has a specific lab marker in the brain tissue.
GenovaAges 18–70 - NCT05620290RecruitingPhase 1

ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06092957RecruitingPhase 3
Reduced radiation after chemo-immunotherapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of radiation, with or without additional chemo-immunotherapy, works as well as the standard full-dose chemoradiation for people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer who had a complete response after initial chemo-immunotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04628416Recruiting
Negative-pressure dressing test for fibula flap donor skin graft
This trial studies whether a special suction dressing (negative pressure) helps healing at the skin-graft donor site for people getting a fibula free flap. It may reduce complications and improve how the graft takes, compared with standard care.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06167135Recruiting
PCOS, Insulin Resistance, and Fertility Study
This study looks at how polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance (a condition where your body doesn't use insulin well) are linked to energy problems in cells (mitochondrial dysfunction). It aims to understand how these conditions affect fertility in women.
BudapestAges 20–45 - NCT05302284RecruitingPhase 3
Testing RC48-ADC plus toripalimab for first-time urothelial cancer
This trial tests whether RC48-ADC combined with toripalimab works better as the first treatment for urothelial cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people whose cancer has the right HER2 and other eligibility features.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06173986RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy to standard chemoradiation can help people with unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for those who cannot have surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05427383RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
KN026 plus chemo for HER2-positive stomach cancer after first treatment failure
This trial tests KN026 together with chemotherapy in people with HER2-positive advanced stomach (or gastro-esophageal junction) cancer that has already grown despite first-line treatment with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. It may help by targeting HER2 while also using chemotherapy to control the cancer.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06001086RecruitingPhase 2
Disitamab Vedotin plus Pyrotinib for HER2-positive early breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (Disitamab Vedotin and Pyrotinib) for people with HER2-positive early breast cancer. It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes before standard therapy.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06177015RecruitingPhase 3
Darolutamide with chemo for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a new way of using darolutamide (a hormone therapy) together with standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) and hormone therapy (ADT) for men with prostate cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if taking darolutamide on an intermittent schedule works as well as continuous treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40–80 - NCT06167057Recruiting
Chemotherapy after scope for upper urinary tract cancer
This study is testing whether giving a single dose of chemotherapy directly into the kidney and ureter right after a scope procedure helps prevent upper urinary tract tumors from coming back. It’s for people who are about to have a scope to diagnose or treat a suspected or known tumor in the upper urinary tract.
AshdodAges 18 years+ - NCT06176729RecruitingPhase 2
Pola-R2 for older, less fit adults with new DLBCL
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (pola, Rituxan, and lenalidomide) for older adults (70+) with a common type of lymphoma (DLBCL) who are not well enough for standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this gentler treatment works well for patients who are less fit.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 70 years+ - NCT05851365RecruitingEarly Phase 1
MRI scan to measure prostate acidity before surgery
This study tests a new MRI technique that measures acidity in prostate tumors. It may help doctors better understand the cancer before surgery, potentially guiding treatment decisions.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06155318Recruiting
PET scan for neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a special PET scan to better evaluate gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). It may help your doctor see where the tumors are in your body.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05991102Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment with Lonsurf and Avastin for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests if adding a special radiofrequency treatment to the drugs Lonsurf (TAS-102) and Avastin (bevacizumab) can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and has not responded to previous treatments. It is for patients with limited options who have already tried at least two standard chemotherapy regimens.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06168786RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo and radiation for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (cadonilimab, fruquintinib) plus targeted radiation (SBRT) for people with advanced MSS colorectal cancer who have already tried several standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05245487Recruiting
Study of blood samples in older people with relapsed lymphoma
This study looks at blood (“hematopoietic”) information in people age 60+ with relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who need an additional round of treatment. It may help researchers understand changes in the body during active lymphoma therapy.
CopenhagenAges 60 years+ - NCT04894370RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests immunotherapy plus chemotherapy and radiation for anal cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a combination of immunotherapy (spartalizumab), chemotherapy (mDCF includes docetaxel), and radiation to treat metastatic or returning anal squamous cell cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes compared with standard approaches, but eligibility is strict to keep participants safe.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05833594Recruiting
Immunonutrition plus chemoradiation for unresectable esophageal cancer
This trial studies whether adding an “immunonutrition” nutrition plan to standard chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced, unresectable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It may help the treatment work better by supporting the immune system during therapy.
