Comparing a numbing gel with standard pain block after stomach cancer surgery

Study of two implantable astigmatism-correcting lenses
This study tests two types of implantable lenses that correct astigmatism (blurry vision from an irregularly shaped cornea). You keep your own natural lens, and the new lens is placed in front of it—no laser or lens removal needed. The goal is to see which lens works better and is safer.

Carbon ion radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation called carbon ion therapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer (stages III–IV) that has spread or can't be removed by surgery. It's combined with standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus nituzumab) to see if it can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Wuwei, GansuAges 18–80 - NCT06840106Recruiting

This study tests an experimental drug called IMC-R117C for people with certain advanced cancers. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Darlinghurst, SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT06840418Recruiting
New imaging to find cancer spread in cervical cancer surgery
This study tests a new imaging technique (NIRFI with ICG dye) to help surgeons see if cervical cancer has spread to lymph nodes during your hysterectomy surgery. It may help guide more precise removal of affected nodes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06840704RecruitingPhase 3
Can immunonutrition reduce esophagitis during lung cancer radiation?
This trial tests if a special nutritional supplement (immunonutrition) can lower the risk of severe throat and chest irritation (esophagitis) caused by radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may qualify if you are about to start chest radiation and can eat normally.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06840886RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called PHST001 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help shrink tumors.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06841055RecruitingPhase 2
Pumitamig plus chemo for Stage IV lung cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests a new investigational drug called Pumitamig (BNT327) given with chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (Stage IV) that has continued to grow after one prior treatment with immunotherapy and platinum chemotherapy. The study aims to see if this combination is safe and can help shrink the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06841172RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation vs treatment switch for limited liver cancer growth
This trial tests whether giving radiation to a few growing cancer spots while continuing your current treatment works better than switching to a new treatment right away. It's for people whose advanced liver cancer has only barely started to progress on their first therapy.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06841211Recruiting
Optimizing prostate biopsy for multiple MRI lesions
This study aims to find the best way to take tissue samples (biopsies) from the prostate when MRI shows more than one suspicious spot. It will help doctors know exactly where to biopsy to reduce false negatives and avoid missing cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06841484Recruiting
Robotic tools vs. human-assisted tools in stomach cancer surgery
This study tests two ways of using robotic tools during stomach cancer surgery: one where the surgeon controls all instruments from a console, and another where a human assistant operates some tools. It aims to see which method works better for patients having the lower part of the stomach removed.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT06841653Recruiting
AI model to predict risk and improve treatment for endometrial cancer
This trial is testing whether a computer model powered by artificial intelligence can better predict outcomes for people with endometrial cancer or related conditions. It uses patient data and tissue samples to see if the model can help doctors choose the best care.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06842264Recruiting
MRI brain test to predict prostate cancer risk
This study uses MRI scans and artificial intelligence to predict the risk of clinically significant prostate cancer. It may help find a way to detect aggressive cancers without needing a biopsy.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT06842524RecruitingPhase 2
Dihydroartemisinin for PCOS: A Phase 2 Trial
This trial tests if dihydroartemisinin (a medicine derived from a plant) can help women with PCOS. It may improve hormone balance and menstrual cycles.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–40 - NCT06842615Recruiting
Testing a new blood test for cancer detection
This study checks if a new blood test (PanTum Detect) can find cancer or pre-cancer. It compares results in people who may have cancer and in healthy people, using a PET/CT scan as a reference. This could lead to a simpler way to detect cancer early.
BratislavaAges 18–88 - NCT06843551RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new immunotherapy combo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing two immunotherapy drugs (balstilimab and botensilimab) to see if they can shrink tumors in people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has worsened after at least one prior treatment. If you have microsatellite stable (MSS) disease, you may be eligible.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06843629Recruiting
PET scan test for MSLN in cancer patients
This study uses a special PET scan to look for a protein called MSLN in certain cancers like pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancer. It aims to see if this imaging method can help doctors understand your tumor better.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–65 - NCT06843707Recruiting
Lung nodule study using blood and tissue metabolism
This trial follows people with lung nodules over time, using blood and tissue samples to look for metabolic changes that may help understand lung cancer better. If you have a lung nodule found on a CT scan and can safely do lung function tests, this study may be a fit.
