Study virus treatment for newly diagnosed DIPG in children
This Phase 1 trial tests a type of cancer-fighting virus given directly into the tumor for children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). The goal is to see if it can be delivered safely and to learn how the body responds to it.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–18 - NCT05970666RecruitingPhase 2
TACE plus immunotherapy and VEGF drug for unresectable liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining TACE (a liver-targeted chemo procedure) with two medicines—an immune “checkpoint” drug and a blood-vessel blocking drug—can control unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. It’s designed for people who can’t have surgery or curative ablation, and who still have reasonably strong liver and overall health.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07859488Recruiting
Delirium risk after cancer surgery
After surgery for cancer in the belly area, some older adults become confused or have memory problems. This study looks for early signs in the blood that might predict this, so doctors can help prevent it.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 65 years+ - NCT07872956Recruiting
Yoga app for home cancer rehab
This trial studies a yoga app designed with patient input to help people undergoing cancer treatment exercise at home. It aims to see if the app is practical and helpful for improving well-being during cancer care.
LinköpingAges 18 years+ - NCT06217185RecruitingPhase 4
Pyrotinib and trastuzumab with chemo for HER2+ advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted medicines (pyrotinib and trastuzumab) with chemotherapy to treat HER2-positive advanced breast cancer that has returned or spread after stopping trastuzumab.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–70 - NCT06206083Recruiting
Studying endometrial cancer types to predict outcomes
This study looks at the specific type of endometrial cancer (endometrioid) in Mexican patients to understand how different molecular features affect prognosis. It may help doctors better tailor treatment to the individual.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06177041RecruitingPhase 3
M108 plus chemo for CLDN18.2-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests a new drug (M108) combined with standard chemotherapy (CAPOX) as a first treatment for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has a specific protein called Claudin 18.2. The goal is to see if adding M108 helps improve outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06155396RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug combo for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs: an antibody-drug conjugate (RC48-ADC) that targets HER2 on cancer cells, plus an immunotherapy (Zimberelimab) that helps your immune system attack the cancer. It is for people with advanced cervical cancer whose prior platinum-based chemotherapy has stopped working.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06279299Recruiting
Lymph node removal for rectal neuroendocrine tumors during laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests whether removing lymph nodes in the pelvis during laparoscopic surgery for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (a type of slow-growing or aggressive tumor) improves outcomes. It is for people with larger or recurrent tumors, or those at higher risk due to tumor grade or depth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06281145Recruiting
Stress reduction for breast or colon cancer patients
This study tests a stress-reducing program for people with breast or colon cancer. It uses a technique called heart rate variability biofeedback to help you manage stress during treatment.
BratislavaAges 18 years+ - NCT07858630Recruiting
Radiation targeting for advanced esophageal cancer with immunotherapy
This trial studies how to best target radiation for people with advanced esophageal cancer who are also getting immunotherapy. It aims to improve treatment planning to help patients live longer with fewer side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07854600RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy before surgery for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination given before surgery to shrink bile duct cancer tumors, potentially making surgery more successful. It is for patients whose cancer is locally advanced or has spread to only a few places.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07859046Enrolling by invitation
Imaging test to guide treatment for ER-positive breast cancer
This trial uses a special imaging scan called 18F-FES PET/CT to help doctors plan treatment and check how well it works for breast cancer that is ER-positive (meaning the cancer cells grow in response to estrogen). It may help improve treatment choices and monitoring.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT07874308Recruiting
Preventing nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy
This study tests a new anti-nausea drug (HR20013) in patients receiving chemotherapy that often causes nausea and vomiting. It aims to see how well it works in real-world conditions, including for patients with liver problems.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07871149Recruiting
Perimenopausal symptom study for women with sleep apnea
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea can help women with menopause-related symptoms. It uses a home sleep test to check for sleep apnea and may offer treatment options to improve sleep and quality of life.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–40 - NCT06020924Recruiting
Uterine fibroids and pregnancy study
This study looks at how uterine fibroids affect pregnancy in women. It may help doctors understand the link between fibroids and fertility.

Ablation with immunotherapy and chemo before lung cancer surgery
This study tests a new approach for people with early-stage lung cancer that can be removed with surgery. Before surgery, patients receive a treatment called cryo-thermal ablation to freeze and heat the tumor, along with an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes after surgery.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07857655RecruitingPhase 4
Intraoperative methadone for pain after head and neck cancer surgery
