This trial tests whether taking a turkey tail mushroom supplement before breast cancer surgery can help the immune system fight the cancer. It is for post-menopausal women with a common type of breast cancer (ER-positive, HER2-negative) that is growing at a moderate or faster rate (Ki-67 score of 10% or more).
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06462742Recruiting
Microwave ablation vs. surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
This trial compares two treatments for a liver cancer called intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma—surgery to remove the tumor versus microwave ablation, which uses heat to destroy cancer cells. It tests if ablation works as well as surgery for people with small tumors that haven't spread.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06466395RecruitingPhase 1
Hyper-CVAD plus venetoclax for relapsed pediatric leukemia
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (hyper-CVAD) plus a targeted pill called venetoclax for children and young adults with a type of leukemia that has returned or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this combo can help control the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 2–21 - 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 - NCT06654011RecruitingPhase 2
A study testing a new combination for rare cervical cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug IN10018 to a standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy combination can help treat a rare type of cervical cancer called gastric-type adenocarcinoma that has spread or come back. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes for patients who have already had at least one round of chemotherapy.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06446648RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Green dye to improve recovery after prostate cancer surgery
This trial tests whether using a green dye (ICG) during robot-assisted prostate removal helps preserve urinary and sexual function. It is for men with localized prostate cancer and good baseline erectile function.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06402864RecruitingPhase 3
Internal radiation for rectal preservation in intermediate rectal cancer
This study is testing whether a special internal radiation treatment (contact X-ray brachytherapy) can help people with intermediate-stage rectal cancer avoid surgery and keep their rectum intact. It is for patients who are also receiving mFolfirinox chemotherapy.
Avignon, FranceAges 18–99 - NCT06462053RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiotherapy plus chemo and immunotherapy for early low rectal cancer
This study is testing whether a short course of radiation combined with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug works better than the standard longer radiation and chemotherapy for early-stage rectal cancer that is low in the rectum. The goal is to see if this shorter treatment can help patients avoid surgery or have a better outcome.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06309485RecruitingPhase 2
Study of WGI-0301 for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new drug, WGI-0301, for people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, a type of liver cancer) that has progressed after standard treatments. It aims to see if WGI-0301 can help control the cancer when other options have stopped working or caused side effects.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06373055Recruiting
