First-in-human test of an anti-PVRIG drug for advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests NM1F (an anti-PVRIG antibody) in people with advanced solid tumors to see if it’s safe and whether it may work. It also includes pembrolizumab (a PD-1 “checkpoint” medicine), aiming to boost the immune system against the cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06590857RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of targeted radiation for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy that targets a specific protein on some breast cancer cells. It may help people whose cancer has stopped responding to other treatments.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT06229041RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo and radiation with or without immunotherapy for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests if adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery helps shrink high-risk rectal cancer and prevent it from coming back. You may be a good fit if you have a specific type of advanced rectal cancer that hasn't spread to other parts of your body.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05918094RecruitingPhase 3
Testing new chemo plan plus immunotherapy for stomach cancer
This phase 3 study compares two versions of a first-time treatment for HER2-negative advanced stomach or gastroesophageal cancer, both including immunotherapy (sintilimab). It looks for a safer or more effective way to slow cancer growth or improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03414827Recruiting
Genetic testing study for kidney cancer
This study looks at genetic features of kidney cancer by testing tumor samples. The goal is to find biomarkers—specific signs—that may help predict what kind of kidney cancer it is.
RoskildeAges Any age - NCT06229522Recruiting
Organoids to personalize ovarian cancer treatment
This study uses lab-grown tumor models (organoids) from your tissue or fluid sample to find the best treatment for your ovarian cancer.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT06229340RecruitingPhase 2
Two drug combinations for advanced cancer with RAS mutations
This trial tests two different treatment combinations (leflunomide alone or with MEK inhibitor and hydroxychloroquine) in people with advanced cancer that has a RAS mutation and has not responded to at least two prior therapies.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–85 - NCT07855484Enrolling by invitation
Improving end-of-life talks between doctors and young adults with cancer
This study helps young adults with advanced cancer talk with their doctors about what matters most for their care and future. It aims to make these conversations easier and more helpful for patients and families.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–39 - NCT07856225Recruiting
Breast cancer outcomes by tumor type
This study looks at how different types of breast cancer respond to treatment. It reviews medical records of patients treated at a specific hospital to understand outcomes better.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - NCT03432806Recruiting
Looking at tissue samples to guide colon cancer treatment
This study collects tissue, blood, and imaging samples from people having surgery for colon cancer or related liver tumors, to learn more about the disease and potentially improve future treatments.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07863258Recruiting
AI matchmaking for advanced liver cancer treatment
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at tumor samples and MRI scans from people with advanced liver cancer to help choose the best treatment. It aims to make treatment more personalized and effective.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07865117Recruiting
Personalised nutrition app for teenagers with cancer
This study is developing a smartphone app that gives personal nutrition advice to teenagers going through cancer treatment. The goal is to help them eat better and feel better.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 12–18 - NCT07870148Recruiting
Breast cancer and thyroid antibodies study
This study looks at whether the body's immune response to the thyroid is linked to breast cancer. It may help doctors understand how breast cancer behaves and how to treat it better.
MilanAges 18–80 - NCT07867522Recruiting
Preventing bile leaks after liver surgery in children
This study tests a way to prevent bile leaks after surgery to remove part of the liver in children. Bile is a digestive fluid made by the liver, and if it leaks after surgery it can cause problems. The approach involves a special technique during the operation to reduce the chance of this happening.
MoscowAges birth–18 years - NCT03962920Recruiting
Personalized care for urologic cancer based on gut and urine bacteria
This study looks at how your body’s bacteria (microbiome in and around the urinary/genital area) may help guide personalized treatment for localized urologic cancers. The goal is to see whether tailoring treatment to your bacteria could improve outcomes.
RoskildeAges 40–70 - NCT05060783Recruiting
Liquid blood test to help detect kidney cancer
This study tests whether a “liquid biopsy” blood test can help detect kidney cancer when a CT scan looks suspicious but does not show cancer. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures or catch cancer patterns earlier, but it will depend on the type of kidney tumor and your situation.
RoskildeAges 18 years+ - NCT03857373Recruiting
Study testing a computer tool to detect kidney cancer after surgery
This trial is for people with renal (kidney) cancer who have already had surgery. The study is testing whether a computer method can use medical information from you to improve kidney-cancer detection.
RoskildeAges Any age - NCT05379738Recruiting
Exercise program to aid recovery after donor stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether an adapted physical activity (tailored exercise) can help people recover after a donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers. If you’re able to participate, the program may support strength, well-being, and recovery during the transplant process.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT05382728RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug for EGFR-mutant lung cancer without prior treatment
This Phase 3 trial studies TY-9591 in people with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR gene changes. It’s for those who haven’t had earlier medicines for advanced lung cancer, and it aims to see if the drug works better or safer than the comparison treatment.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT05962892Recruiting
Study of thyroid cancer return risk after heat ablation
This study looks at what makes papillary thyroid cancer come back after a heat-based treatment called thermal ablation. It may help doctors better predict recurrence risk and guide follow-up after treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06190067RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine plus PD-1 for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two medicines—azacitidine and a PD-1 inhibitor—for people with Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or not responded to previous treatment. The aim is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06220617Recruiting
Early detection of colorectal cancer using blood tests
