This trial tests a new drug combination (tovorafenib and rituximab) for people with hairy cell leukemia (HCL) whose cancer has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600E. It looks at safety and how well the drugs work, both for people who have had treatment before and for those who have not.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06965192Recruiting
Visual tools for cancer surgeon decision-making
This trial tests visual tools to help surgeons make better decisions for patients with early-stage prostate or kidney cancer. It may help you and your doctor choose the best treatment.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06965166Recruiting
Better CT scans for staging rectal cancer
This study tests a new, more detailed type of CT scan (called photon-counting CT) to see if it can better show how far rectal cancer has grown or spread. If you are already getting standard scans to stage your cancer, this study adds an extra CT scan with contrast dye to get clearer pictures.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–99 - NCT06965231RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative Toripalimab and Endostatin for Stage II Melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, toripalimab (an immunotherapy) and endostatin (which targets blood vessels), given before and after surgery for stage II melanoma. The goal is to see if this combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06965335Recruiting
Early-onset colorectal cancer study
This study looks at colorectal cancer that starts early in life (ages 18–40). It compares it to the same cancer in people over 60 to find differences. You can join if you have had colorectal cancer and can provide a sample of your tumor.
Milan, MilanoAges 18–40 - NCT06966050Recruiting
Blood test registry for inflammatory breast cancer
This study collects blood samples from people with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) to learn more about the disease. It uses a special blood test called Signatera to look for cancer DNA, and the information is stored in a registry for research.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06966232RecruitingPhase 3
Using entecavir to prevent hepatitis B flare-up in gastrointestinal cancer patients
This trial tests whether giving the antiviral drug entecavir before or at the first sign of hepatitis B reactivation can prevent liver problems in gastrointestinal cancer patients who are inactive hepatitis B carriers and are starting chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06967038RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Natural killer cell therapy for high-risk lymphoma with Sjogren's syndrome
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy using natural killer cells to treat people who have both high-risk lymphoma and primary Sjogren's syndrome. The goal is to see if these cells can safely and effectively fight the lymphoma while managing the autoimmune condition.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06967103RecruitingPhase 2
New drug before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a new drug, QL1706, given alongside chemotherapy before surgery for a certain type of breast cancer. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors before they are removed.
ZhengzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06967285Recruiting
Prone positioning for ARDS: checking brain blood flow
This trial studies how lying on your stomach (prone positioning) affects blood flow in the brain during severe lung failure (ARDS). It aims to predict and prevent brain problems that might occur with this treatment.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06967480Recruiting
Early ravulizumab for recent-onset generalized myasthenia gravis
