Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06313450Recruiting
Lower radiation for nose cancer after immunotherapy and chemo
This trial tests whether giving a lower dose of radiation to the main tumor is safe and effective for people with nasopharyngeal cancer (a type of nose/throat cancer) who first receive a combination of immunotherapy (toripalimab) and chemotherapy. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06321679Recruiting
Study of bone scans for advanced prostate cancer treatment

MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04300257Recruiting
Prediction tool for choosing treatment in sarcoma care
This trial tests a way to use patient information to help doctors decide which treatment approach may fit best for people with certain bone or soft-tissue tumors. It may help improve selection and care planning, but it depends on whether your data can be used.
Winterthur, Canton of ZurichAges Any age - NCT06314906RecruitingPhase 3
Acupuncture plus anti-nausea drugs for breast cancer chemo side effects
This trial tests whether adding electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electrical pulses) to standard anti-nausea medicine can better prevent nausea and vomiting caused by strong chemotherapy. It is for people with early-stage breast cancer who are about to start a very strong chemotherapy regimen.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–75 - NCT06326879Recruiting
Comparing early vs late onset colorectal cancer
This study compares patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer at a younger age (under 50) to those diagnosed later in life. By looking at tissue samples and patient surveys, researchers hope to understand differences in the disease and improve care for all ages.
Rozzano, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06320223Recruiting
PSMA PET scan registry for prostate cancer outcomes
This registry collects information from people with prostate cancer who have had a PSMA PET scan. Researchers want to learn how well this scan predicts outcomes over at least 3 years, which may help improve future care.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT06321939Recruiting
Tracking EBV DNA in Blood for Nasopharyngeal Cancer
This trial studies whether tracking levels of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in your blood can help guide treatment for non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. You would get standard radiation and maybe chemotherapy, with extra blood tests to see how the virus levels change.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06321653Recruiting
Lymphedema after radiation for early breast cancer with 1-2 positive nodes
This trial aims to see if a shorter course of radiation after breast-conserving surgery affects arm swelling (lymphedema) in people with early breast cancer that has spread to 1 or 2 nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to learn if this approach is safe and effective.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06265025RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
GM103 injection for advanced solid tumors that can't be removed
This trial tests an experimental drug called GM103 that is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments and cannot be surgically removed.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT06162767Recruiting
Surgery comparison for junction cancer
This trial compares two surgical techniques for treating a specific type of cancer at the junction of the stomach and esophagus. It aims to find which surgery offers better outcomes for patients.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06196788RecruitingPhase 2
Artery infusion chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a treatment called transcatheter arterial infusion, where chemotherapy drugs are delivered directly to the tumor through a thin tube in an artery. It's for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who haven't had other treatments yet.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06327997RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Fast CAR-T cells for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of 'fast CAR-T' cell therapy for people with advanced solid tumors that have not been helped by standard treatments. CAR-T cells are a kind of immune cell that is reprogrammed to attack cancer cells that carry certain markers called mesothelin, MUC1, and PD-L1.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05861271RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant pyrotinib plus capecitabine for tiny HER2 breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding pyrotinib and capecitabine after surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back in people with very small, lymph-node–negative, HER2-positive breast cancer. It’s for patients who fit specific tumor size and HER2 test results and who can safely take chemotherapy-like medicines and stay on contraception during treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05217407Recruiting
Registry study for people with rare or advanced cancers
This is a study that collects information about people with rare cancers (or cancers where the source is unknown) and advanced-stage cancer. It helps researchers build a knowledge database to improve understanding and care for these cancers in Asia.
Chuo-ku, TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT06270667Recruiting
Exercise training for lymphoma survivors
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve heart health in people who finished treatment for Hodgkin or aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma 2–5 years ago. The goal is to see if regular exercise helps your heart recover better after chemotherapy or chest radiation.

Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05433753Recruiting
Study for leftover cancer DNA in HER2-positive early breast cancer
This study looks for tiny traces of cancer after treatment by testing blood for “ctDNA,” which is leftover cancer DNA. It includes people with HER2-positive early breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery to see if this blood test can detect signs of remaining disease.
Chuo-ku, TokyoAges 20 years+ - NCT06145074RecruitingPhase 2
Testing propranolol before surgery for pancreatic cancer

Atorvastatin plus temozolomide for EGFR-positive glioblastoma
This trial tests whether adding the cholesterol drug atorvastatin to the standard chemotherapy temozolomide improves outcomes for people with a specific type of glioblastoma (brain cancer) that is positive for the EGFR protein. It aims to find a more effective treatment for this aggressive tumor.
