Ultrasound test to tailor chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound measurement can help doctors choose the right chemotherapy plan during treatment for breast cancer. It may help avoid under- or over-treatment by adjusting care based on the ultrasound results.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06176885RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo and targeted therapy for MSS colorectal cancer
This trial tests adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy and targeted therapy for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that is MSS (microsatellite stable) and cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06180174RecruitingPhase 1
CD19-targeted CAR-T cells for relapsed B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) that targets a protein called CD19 on your lymphoma cells. It's for people whose B-cell lymphoma has returned or not responded to standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07864870Recruiting
Sarcoma treatment adherence and survival study
This study looks at how closely patients in the Strasbourg area follow their sarcoma treatment plans and how that affects their survival. Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that starts in the body's connective tissues, like fat, muscle, or blood vessels.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07871864RecruitingPhase 3
Study of cabozantinib after initial treatment for osteosarcoma
This trial tests whether a new drug (called cabozantinib) can help keep osteosarcoma from coming back after initial treatment. It is for people who have completed their first round of therapy and have no sign of active cancer or only stable disease.
AarhusAges 4 years+ - NCT07856017Recruiting
Smarter prostate biopsy using imaging and metabolic data
This study tests a new biopsy system that uses MRI images and metabolic information to guide doctors to the most suspicious areas of the prostate during the biopsy. This could make the biopsy more accurate and help diagnose prostate cancer better.
ShanghaiAges 55 years+ - NCT07855107Recruiting
Self-care after pilonidal sinus surgery with a new drain
This study tests a new way to treat pilonidal sinus (a small tunnel under the skin near the tailbone) that combines special surgery with a drain that you can care for at home. It is for people who cannot easily come back to the hospital for wound care, so they can recover in their own community.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07860203Recruiting
Nerve block and sedation drug for better sleep after gynecologic surgery
This study tests whether a nerve block in the neck plus a sedation medication can improve sleep quality after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. It may help reduce sleep problems and promote recovery.
Huai'an, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07860801Enrolling by invitation
Vaping habits in teens and young adults with cancer
This study looks at vaping patterns in cancer patients aged 15-39 to better understand how to support them. Participants will share their experiences through surveys or interviews.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 15 years+ - NCT07861971Recruiting

This study tests a sports-inspired coaching program for young adults who have finished cancer treatment and are in remission. It aims to see if the program is feasible and helpful for improving well-being.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07856212Recruiting
Maintenance treatment for advanced stomach cancer in Colombia
This study looks at people with advanced stomach cancer who received a maintenance treatment after initial therapy. The goal is to see how well this approach works in real-world patients in Colombia.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - NCT07862010RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of GI001 for B-cell lymphoma and leukemia that has returned or not responded
This trial tests a new treatment called GI001 for people with B-cell lymphoma or B-cell leukemia that has come back or hasn't responded to previous treatments. It aims to see if GI001 can help when other options have failed, and it may be an option if you haven't had CAR-T therapy before.
