Famitinib plus immunotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests a combination of famitinib (a cancer drug that targets blood vessel growth) with immunotherapy drugs in people with newly diagnosed advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or cannot be fully removed. It aims to improve how long patients live and how well the cancer responds.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT03494946Recruiting
Liver transplant vs chemotherapy for colon cancer liver spread
This trial compares liver transplantation to standard chemotherapy for people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be removed surgically. It looks at whether transplant can help patients live longer or better than chemotherapy in the right patients.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT01479608Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon or rectal cancer liver spread
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver (but not elsewhere). It aims to improve outcomes by removing the diseased liver when the cancer has responded to chemotherapy and can still be controlled.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT03838042RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing nivolumab plus entinostat for high-risk childhood cancers
This trial studies whether nivolumab (an immune therapy) plus entinostat (an epigenetic medicine) can help children and teens with high-risk cancers that have come back, worsened, or did not respond to prior treatment. It also looks at specific tumor “biomarkers” to group patients and guide how the study is run.
Randwick, New South WalesAges 2–21 - NCT05759546RecruitingPhase 2
Test a PARP and CDK4/6 medicine plus hormone therapy
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining a PARP inhibitor with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and hormone (endocrine) therapy can help people with advanced HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It’s for certain patients who have not yet had chemotherapy or targeted therapy for metastatic disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06244225RecruitingPhase 2
Triple therapy for advanced liver cancer (HAIC + sintilimab + donafenib)
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery: a targeted oral drug (Donafenib), an immunotherapy (Sintilimab), and a type of chemotherapy given directly into the liver artery. The goal is to see if this triple therapy works better than current options for people who have not had any prior cancer treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05753826RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two medicines for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding adebrelimab to fuzuloparib can help people with ovarian cancer that comes back quickly after platinum chemotherapy. It is aimed especially at tumors with a specific DNA-repair gene (HRR mutation).
FujianAges 18–70 - NCT06246162RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mitoxantrone liposome combo for high-risk multiple myeloma
This trial tests a liposomal form of mitoxantrone combined with other drugs for people with aggressive multiple myeloma (high-risk or spread outside the bone). The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer better.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT04723316Recruiting
Tumor testing to guide targeted cancer treatment
This trial looks at your tumor (and blood) to find helpful targets so doctors can match you to an experimental targeted therapy, if one fits. It may help by using detailed “tumor profiling” to choose treatments more precisely for your cancer.
BelfastAges 16 years+ - NCT05891093RecruitingPhase 3
Fluzoparib plus hormone therapy after surgery for breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether fluzoparib added to standard hormone (endocrine) therapy after early breast cancer surgery can improve outcomes and safety. It may help patients whose tumors are ER-positive, HER2-negative, and a specific SNF3 subtype.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05192655Recruiting
AI PET imaging to guide treatment for head and neck cancer
This study uses an AI computer method to analyze FDG PET scan images to help tailor (individualize) treatment for people with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to improve how doctors plan curative treatment based on your scan.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05228106Recruiting
PSMA scan using 68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT
This study looks at a PSMA-targeted PET/CT scan using 68Ga-PSMA-617 for tumors that show a specific marker (PSMA). It’s meant to help confirm or evaluate suspected or known PSMA-expressing tumors in real-life clinical practice.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges Any age - NCT05515315RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo then chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding tislelizumab (an immunotherapy drug) to chemotherapy before a combined course of chemotherapy and radiation can better treat locally advanced, non-surgable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It’s for adults who cannot have surgery and may help shrink the cancer and improve control of the disease.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT05678270RecruitingPhase 2
ICP-192 for FGFR2 fusion bile duct cancer that spread
This Phase 2 trial tests a medicine called ICP-192 in people with intrahepatic bile duct cancer that cannot be removed with surgery and has spread. It is for tumors that have an FGFR2 fusion/rearrangement, especially after prior chemotherapy stopped working.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06236568Recruiting
Liver transplant study for liver cancer patients
This study tests a special way to preserve donated livers before transplant to see if it reduces the chance of liver cancer coming back after surgery.
Modena, MOAges 18 years+ - NCT06243003RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brain radiation for SCLC with brain metastases
This trial tests a new radiation approach for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It combines whole-brain radiation that avoids the memory centers, followed by focused radiation to the tumors, while you also receive standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06245330RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AST-001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing a new drug called AST-001 for people with advanced solid tumors (including pancreatic cancer) that have not responded to standard treatments. The study aims to find the right dose and see how well the drug works.
Changchun, JinlinAges 18–70 - NCT06246071RecruitingPhase 1
TYK-00540 for adults with solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, TYK-00540, for people with solid tumors that have not responded to or cannot tolerate standard treatments. It also looks at specific types of breast and ovarian cancer.
HefeiAges 18 years+ - NCT02049658Recruiting
Using a sniff dog to check for suspected tumors
This trial studies whether a trained sniff dog can help detect or rule out tumors in people with suspicious spots and in healthy people without tumors. It may be useful as a quick screening tool alongside regular medical tests.
Changsha, HunanAges 1 year+ - NCT05983276RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for drug-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new two-drug combination (decitabine and selinexor) given with standard chemotherapy to see if it can reverse drug resistance in ovarian cancer that has come back or worsened after treatment.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04282044RecruitingPhase 1
CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05949541RecruitingPhase 2
Everolimus with first-line hormone therapy for specific breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding everolimus to standard first-line hormone (endocrine) therapy can better control a certain type of advanced breast cancer. It is designed for people whose tumor matches a specific “SNF1 subtype.”
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05912075RecruitingPhase 1
New pre-surgery radiation plus ASTX660 for rectal cancer
This early-phase trial tests adding ASTX660 (a new drug) to pre-surgery radiation for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to improve control of the tumor before surgery, making it more likely that the surgeon can remove it with clear margins.
Lyon, RhöneAges 18 years+ - NCT06182657Recruiting
Nasopharyngeal cancer response to induction chemotherapy
This study looks at how well nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) responds to the first round of chemotherapy before other treatments. It aims to see if the amount of tumor shrinkage can help predict outcomes and guide future care for people with advanced NPC.
