Sacituzumab Govitecan and Toripalimab for First-Line Advanced Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—sacituzumab govitecan (a targeted chemotherapy) and toripalimab (an immunotherapy)—as the first treatment for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this pair works better than standard treatments, and to look for biomarkers that might predict who benefits most.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06991868Recruiting
Urine test to monitor for urothelial cancer recurrence
This study uses a urine test to detect small amounts of cancer DNA (microscopic residual disease) after treatment, to see if it can catch a recurrence earlier than standard scans or cystoscopy. It includes four groups of people with different types and stages of urothelial cancer (in the kidney, ureter, or bladder) to see how well the test works for each group.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1.5 years+ - NCT06991946Recruiting
Genomic profiling for metastatic breast cancer in Spain
This study looks at how genetic testing of your tumor might affect the treatment plan for your metastatic breast cancer. It aims to help doctors choose the best therapy based on your tumor's profile.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06992232RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation or surgery plus hormone therapy for prostate cancer that has spread
This trial tests whether giving intense hormone therapy along with either radiation or surgery can help men with prostate cancer that has spread to a limited number of spots (10 or fewer) but not to organs like the liver or lungs. The goal is to treat both the main tumor and the visible metastatic spots more aggressively.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06992336RecruitingPhase 2
Circulating tumor DNA guided extra treatment for early triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether using a blood test to detect leftover cancer DNA after initial treatment can help doctors decide if extra therapy is needed for people with early triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for those with remaining disease after neoadjuvant therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangodngAges 18–70 - NCT06992427RecruitingPhase 3
Gabapentin to prevent opioid use for mouth pain during cancer treatment
This trial tests if taking gabapentin during chemoradiation for head and neck cancer can reduce the need for strong painkillers like opioids. It may help manage mouth pain caused by treatment.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06992648RecruitingPhase 3
Two drug combos for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a two-drug combination (trifluridine/tipiracil plus regorafenib) against a standard pair (trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to prior treatments. It aims to find which combination works better.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06992739RecruitingPhase 2
Trilaciclib with chemotherapy for EGFR-mutant advanced lung cancer
This study tests whether adding trilaciclib to a new chemotherapy (sacituzumab tirumotecan) can help people with EGFR-mutant lung cancer that keeps growing after certain targeted treatments. The goal is to see if it slows the cancer and reduces side effects.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06992973Recruiting
Radiation before surgery for large brain metastases
This trial tests a new approach for people with a single large brain tumor that has spread from another cancer. You would receive a short, focused dose of radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) in small, separate treatments, followed by surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the usual treatment.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06992986Recruiting
Urine Bacteria in Bladder Cancer vs. Other Conditions
This study compares the bacteria in urine of men with bladder cancer to those with other urinary issues and healthy men. For bladder cancer patients, it looks at differences before a planned surgery to remove the bladder.
RomeAges 50–70 - NCT06994416Recruiting
New fluorescent needle for finding breast lesions
This trial tests a special needle that glows to help surgeons find and remove high-risk breast lesions. If you've already had a breast lesion found by ductoscopy and a duct excision, you might be able to join.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06993675RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell therapy for MRD in newly diagnosed myeloma patients after transplant
This trial tests two drugs (talquetamab and teclistamab) to see if they can eliminate remaining cancer cells in newly diagnosed myeloma patients who have already had a stem cell transplant. It may be an option if you have minimal residual disease (MRD) and a good response to initial treatment.

Study of ETX-636 for advanced solid tumors with PIK3CA mutation
This trial tests an experimental drug called ETX-636 in people whose cancer has a specific gene change (PIK3CA mutation) and has not responded to at least one prior treatment. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
