St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06636864Enrolling by invitation
Morphine injection for better recovery after colon cancer surgery
This trial tests if giving a single injection of morphine into the spinal fluid can improve how well you feel and recover after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. The morphine is given through a spinal needle before surgery, and it may help control pain during and after the procedure.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06668493RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A virus-based treatment for low-grade upper tract bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, nadofaragene firadenovec, which uses a harmless virus to deliver a signal that helps your immune system fight low-grade cancer in the upper part of the urinary tract (the kidney area). It's given directly into the kidney through a small tube, and may avoid more invasive surgery.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06667622RecruitingPhase 2
New drug to reduce side effects of chemo and radiation for lung cancer
This trial tests a drug called sodium glycididazole to see if it can reduce the side effects of standard chemo and radiation therapy in people with certain types of non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06652347Recruiting
Older adults' views on geriatric tests for cancer treatment planning
This study asks adults aged 65 and older about their views on geriatric and functional assessments to help plan cancer treatment. It tests whether these assessments are acceptable and useful to patients.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 65 years+ - NCT06669611RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drug combos for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a new drug combination (Nab-Paclitaxel with Camrelizumab) works better than the standard GP chemotherapy plus Camrelizumab for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back or spread. The goal is to find a more effective treatment option.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06693284RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing mirdametinib and vorinostat for NF1-related MPNST
This trial tests two targeted drugs, mirdametinib and vorinostat, to see if they can shrink MPNST tumors in people with NF1 before surgery. It is for patients whose tumors lack a specific protein marker (H3K27me3).
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 12 years+ - NCT06684964Recruiting
Real-world study of asciminib for chronic CML in Saudi Arabia
This study is watching how well asciminib (Scemblix) works in real life for people with chronic-phase CML in Saudi Arabia. If you've already tried two or more targeted therapies (TKIs) and recently started asciminib, this study may help doctors understand more about its effectiveness and side effects.
DammamAges 18–99 - NCT06671210Recruiting
Urine HPV testing for men
This study is testing whether a urine test can detect human papillomavirus (HPV) in men. HPV is a common virus that can cause certain cancers. The goal is to see if a simple urine test works as well as other methods. If you are an adult male who has been sexually active, this study may be an option.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06686030RecruitingPhase 2
AK112 with chemo or olaparib for platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer
