Study of a new targeted radiation therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug called [177Lu]Lu-XT117, which delivers a small dose of radiation directly to cancer cells that have a specific protein called FAP. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard treatment options or cannot tolerate them.
GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT05964569RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized planning for proton radiation in low-grade brain tumors

HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT05851547RecruitingPhase 2
Testing higher doses in prostate spots using MRI guidance
This Phase 2 trial studies a way to deliver higher radiation doses to specific prostate lesions seen on a 3-Tesla MRI. It’s for people with certain intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer to see if targeting the lesions can improve treatment results and safety.

Furmonertinib after surgery for EGFR 20 insertion lung cancer
This trial tests a targeted pill (furmonertinib) to prevent your lung cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people with a certain genetic change in their tumor (EGFR exon 20 insertion) and stage IB, II, or IIIA disease.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06189898Recruiting
Using scans to find radiation-sensitive esophageal cancer
This study tests whether a special imaging scan (functional imaging) can identify which esophageal cancers respond best to radiation. If you have stage II–IVA esophageal cancer and meet the health criteria, joining may help personalize your treatment.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06190639RecruitingPhase 2
Sintilimab after surgery for node-positive esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug Sintilimab after surgery can help prevent esophageal cancer from coming back. It is for people whose cancer had spread to lymph nodes and who have already had their tumor removed.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04938804Recruiting
One-time lung cancer screening with a low-dose chest CT
This study tests whether a one-time, low-dose chest CT scan can help find lung cancer early in certain people. You may be invited because of your age and location, and because you have not had recent related testing or symptoms.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–74 - NCT05833763RecruitingPhase 2
Glosfitamab plus pirtobrutinib for mantle cell lymphoma after BTK drugs
This Phase 2 trial tests how well two anti-cancer medicines—glofitamab and pirtobrutinib—work for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that has not responded well to prior BTK inhibitor therapy. It may help by shrinking the lymphoma after earlier treatment and checking how safe the combination is for people with similar disease history.
Parkville, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05675813RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Genetic test-guided treatment for newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma
This trial uses a genetic test on your lymphoma tissue to help choose your treatment. It may help personalize therapy for people with newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma and see how well the approach works and is tolerated.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04897490Recruiting
Real-world study of ATO plus ATRA for adult acute APL
This study looks at how well first-time treatment with ATO plus ATRA works in adults with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). It mainly checks treatment results in real life, including whether patients reach “molecular remission” (very deep disease control).
La Plata, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT06194708Recruiting
Why some temporary stomas are never reversed after rectal cancer surgery
This trial looks at why some people who had a temporary stoma (a bag for waste) after rectal cancer surgery never get it reversed. It collects information from medical records to find patterns that might explain this.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06196255RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T cell therapy for resistant or relapsed multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell therapy that targets FcRL5 on myeloma cells. It's for people whose myeloma has come back or stopped responding to other treatments, including stem cell transplant.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT04235114RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET scan test for EGFR-positive cancers using an antibody tracer
This study tests a special PET scan agent (an antibody tracer) to help doctors see EGFR-positive cancers without needing invasive procedures. It is mainly for early testing (Phase 1/2) to understand how well it works for imaging.
Saskatoon, SaskatchewanAges 18–80 - NCT04459065RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Imaging medicine to help find lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a special imaging drug (IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab) that may help surgeons better see lung cancer tissue during planned lung surgery. Phase 1/2 looks mainly at safety and how well the imaging works to guide the operation.
Saskatoon, SaskatchewanAges 18–80 - NCT05140746Recruiting
