Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07392476Recruiting
Glucose monitor for women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Cleveland, OhioAges 18–45 - NCT07865195Recruiting
Study of brain tumors in Réunion island residents
This study gathers information about people diagnosed with a type of brain tumor called diffuse glioma in Réunion island. It aims to better understand the disease, its impact, and the care provided, which may help improve future treatments and support.
Saint-PierreAges Any age - NCT07857746Recruiting
Outcomes of stem cell transplant in children
This study looks at how children who received a stem cell transplant at one hospital are doing. It aims to learn about their recovery and long-term results, which can help improve care for future patients.
Ratchathewi, BangkokAges Up to 18 years - NCT07868640Recruiting
Blood test validation for multiple cancer types
This study collects blood samples from people being treated for certain cancers to check if a new blood test (TST79) can help detect or monitor cancer. If you have one of the listed cancer types and are currently receiving treatment, you may be able to take part.
Charleroi, HainautAges 18 years+ - NCT07863986Recruiting
Studying response to lutetium therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial looks at people with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and chemotherapy. It tests a radioactive medicine (lutetium-177 PSMA) that targets prostate cancer cells, to see what factors predict a good response.
KaunasAges 18 years+ - NCT06268652RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized treatment guided by lab-grown tumor samples for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests whether using a personalized approach—growing your tumor cells in the lab to find the best treatment—can work better than standard treatments chosen by your doctor. It is for people with advanced breast cancer that has stopped responding to at least two previous treatments.
Guangzhou, None SelectedAges 18 years+ - NCT06041555Recruiting
MRI-guided radiotherapy study for five cancer types
This study collects MRI scans and treatment data from patients getting MRI-guided radiotherapy for certain cancers. It aims to improve radiation treatment planning using imaging and biological information.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06223841RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing IAP0971 for advanced solid tumors and lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, IAP0971, in patients with advanced solid tumors or a specific type of lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC) that has high PD-L1 levels. It aims to see if the drug can help when standard treatments have stopped working or are not an option.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06154668Recruiting
Immune cell study in melanoma patients
This study looks at immune cells in your blood to find patterns that might show how well a treatment called anti-PD1 immunotherapy works for melanoma. Your participation could help doctors better understand who benefits from this therapy.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT06223295Recruiting
Focal therapy for medium-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a gentler treatment called focal therapy that targets only the part of the prostate with cancer. It's for men whose prostate cancer has a Gleason score of 7, low PSA, and hasn't spread outside the prostate.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 45 years+ - NCT06266026Recruiting
AI-enhanced thermal imaging for breast cancer screening
This study tests a new, non-contact thermal camera (thermography) combined with artificial intelligence to find breast cancer. It is designed for women coming for routine screening, high-risk screening, or diagnostic exams, and aims to see if this painless, radiation-free method can help detect cancer earlier.
HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT06266832RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation with immunotherapy and chemo for rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of short-course radiation, an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab), and chemotherapy (CAPEOX) before surgery to help preserve the rectum in people with MSS/pMMR ultra-low rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to avoid removing the rectum.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06279026Recruiting
Testing UTAA17 for advanced multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new treatment called UTAA17 that targets a protein on myeloma cells. It may be an option for people whose multiple myeloma has not responded to several prior treatments.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06265350Recruiting
Freezing lung tumors plus immunotherapy for liver cancer with lung spread
This study tests a combination of treatments—freezing the lung tumors (cryoablation) plus two drugs (cardonilizumab and bevacizumab)—for people with liver cancer that has spread only to their lungs. It may be an option if your first treatment stopped working but your liver tumors are under control.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05377658RecruitingPhase 2
AK104 with chemo before and after surgery for lung cancer
This trial studies AK104 along with chemotherapy given before surgery and after surgery for people with resectable (operable) stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to improve treatment effectiveness by shrinking the tumor before surgery and helping prevent it from coming back afterward.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05965024Recruiting
Using ctDNA blood tests to predict lung cancer return after surgery
This study checks whether a special blood test (ctDNA) taken before and after surgery can predict whether non-small cell lung cancer will come back. If it works, it may help doctors spot recurrence earlier and guide follow-up care after tumor removal.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05999149RecruitingPhase 3
Famitinib plus chemo and immunotherapy before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding a targeted therapy pill (famitinib) to standard chemo plus an immunotherapy (camrelizumab) can shrink triple negative breast cancer before surgery. It may help people with earlier-stage disease who have not had certain prior treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06118723Recruiting
Supramaximal vs maximal surgery for brain tumors
This trial compares removing as much tumor as safely possible (supramaximal resection) with standard maximal resection in people with high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain tumor). The goal is to see if more extensive removal improves survival and quality of life.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06269536Recruiting
Stress reduction program for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a stress-reducing program for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if lowering stress can help with treatment outcomes and quality of life.
