Ivonescimab and chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that spread only to the liver
This trial tests a new drug called ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed right away. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumors enough to allow surgery or other treatments.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06804395Recruiting
Community cancer screening registry study
This study creates a registry to better understand and improve cancer screening for people at higher risk. By joining, you help researchers learn how to prevent and manage cancer in your community.
Totowa, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06824688Recruiting
Comparing robotic surgery types for rectal cancer
This trial compares two robotic surgery methods for rectal cancer: using one small incision (single-port) versus several small incisions (multi-port). The goal is to see which approach offers better outcomes while preserving the sphincter (the muscle that controls bowel movements).
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT06859762RecruitingPhase 1
YL217 for advanced solid tumors (first-in-human)
This study tests a new drug, YL217, for people with advanced solid tumors. It is a first-in-human trial, meaning this drug has not been tested in people before, and aims to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06839560RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy and radiation for advanced breast cancer with brain metastases
This trial tests a combination of a PD-L1 inhibitor with a low-dose chemotherapy regimen and either immediate or delayed radiation therapy for people with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink brain tumors and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06830889RecruitingPhase 3
BL-M07D1 vs T-DM1 for HER2-positive breast cancer after neoadjuvant therapy
This trial tests whether a new drug called BL-M07D1 works better than an existing drug, T-DM1, for people with HER2-positive breast cancer who still have cancer cells after initial treatment (neoadjuvant therapy). The goal is to prevent the cancer from coming back.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06814444Recruiting
Immune system study in acute leukemia
This study is looking at blood and bone marrow samples from people with acute leukemia to understand how the immune system reacts to the disease and treatment. The goal is to find better ways to treat leukemia.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06752811RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new paclitaxel formula for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new form of the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel (called polymeric micellar paclitaxel) for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). It's for those who haven't had any prior treatment for their metastatic cancer, and aims to see if this drug can help control the cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06781281Recruiting
Chemo plus immunotherapy for early HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests adding an immunotherapy drug (serplulimab) to standard chemotherapy for early-stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemo alone before surgery.
ZhengzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06743867RecruitingPhase 1
Chemotherapy mist for cancer spread in the belly
This trial tests a new way to give chemotherapy directly into the belly as a fine mist (called PIPAC) for people whose cancer has spread there. The goal is to see if it’s safe and helps shrink or control the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06788964RecruitingPhase 2
Bridge therapy with loncastuximab and rituximab before CAR-T for lymphoma
This trial tests a two-drug combination (loncastuximab tesirine and rituximab) as a short-term "bridge" treatment for people with large B-cell lymphoma who are waiting to receive standard CAR-T cell therapy. The goal is to control the lymphoma before the CAR-T cells can be given.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06765707Enrolling by invitation
Monitoring symptoms to improve medication use in breast cancer
This trial tests if tracking how you feel and reporting your symptoms can help women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer take their hormone-blocking medication more consistently. It may be a good fit if you have been prescribed aromatase inhibitors or similar therapy and have had trouble taking it as directed.
