Study of MBS314 for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new drug called MBS314 for people whose multiple myeloma has returned or stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if MBS314 can help shrink or control the myeloma.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06037733Recruiting
Focused radiation to main tumor after chemo-immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors responded well to initial chemo-immunotherapy. Instead of giving full chest radiation, doctors will only target the main tumor to see if it can prevent regrowth with fewer side effects.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06032052RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for older adults with metastatic lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy for people 65 or older with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has not been treated before and expresses PD-L1. It aims to see if this treatment can help control the cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 65 years+ - NCT06020430Recruiting
Skipping routine radiation for advanced lung cancer after immunotherapy and chemo
This trial tests whether it is safe to skip routine radiation to the tumor bed in patients with stage III lung cancer that has responded well to immunotherapy and chemotherapy. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06240546RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LPM6690176 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called LPM6690176 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and how it affects the body.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06313463RecruitingPhase 3
Capecitabine and camrelizumab for TNBC after chemotherapy
This trial tests if combining the chemotherapy pill capecitabine with the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab can help people with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who still have tumor tissue after initial treatment. It is for patients whose breast cancer has structures called tumor-associated lymphoid structures (TLS) and who did not achieve a complete response to neoadjuvant therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06276088Recruiting
SAA1 levels to predict cancer immunotherapy response
This trial measures a protein called SAA1 in your blood and tumor tissue to see if it can predict how your cancer will respond to immunotherapy. It aims to understand why some patients have rapid tumor growth after treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06302634Recruiting
Heart rehab program for cancer patients at risk
This trial tests a rehabilitation program designed to help people at high risk of heart problems from cancer treatment. You would do exercises and have check-ups, either at the hospital or at home.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18–70 - NCT05389956Recruiting
Study links health screening results to heart and cancer risk
This study follows people who had a routine health check to learn what increases the risk of heart disease and cancer. Your answers and test results may help doctors better understand risk factors in the Korean population.
UlsanAges 19 years+ - NCT06234007RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation plus combo therapy for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation therapy followed by a combination of three drugs (fruquintinib, adebrelimab, and CAPOX chemotherapy) before surgery for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
WuhanAges 18–75 - NCT04733430Recruiting
Study lung cancer care in real life
This study follows adults with confirmed lung cancer as they are diagnosed and treated in routine clinical practice. It aims to better understand how lung cancer is diagnosed and managed day-to-day, which may help improve future care.
ViennaAges 18–125 - NCT05280314RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before and after surgery for stage III melanoma or throat cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy medicines given before surgery and again after surgery to help control the cancer and improve outcomes. It studies people with resectable (operable) stage III melanoma or certain stage III/IVA throat cancers.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06225804RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ABSK112 for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called ABSK112 for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, especially those whose cancer has a specific change in the EGFR gene (exon 20 insertion). The main goals are to see if it's safe and how the body handles it.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06223256RecruitingPhase 1
NBL-028 for advanced solid tumors with CLDN6
This trial tests a new drug called NBL-028 in people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific protein (CLDN6). It is for those who have already tried standard treatments. The goal is to see how safe and effective the drug is.

Total treatment with tailored radiation for advanced rectal cancer
This study tests a “total neoadjuvant” approach—chemotherapy first, then radiation—using adaptive (tailored) radiation planning for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It may help improve tumor control while adjusting the radiation based on how your cancer and anatomy respond.
