Study of donor immune cells for B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests an “allogeneic” donor T-cell therapy (CARCIK-CD19) for children and adults with certain B-cell lymphomas and CLL who have tried multiple treatments. It may help by targeting cancer cells using engineered immune cells, but eligibility is complex and depends on donor availability and medical readiness.

BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05539677Recruiting
Research biobank and patient registry for aggressive solid tumors
This study builds a biobank and patient registry using tumor samples and blood. It helps researchers better understand aggressive cancers and may improve future treatments by testing immune (defense) responses.

Brain and bladder study after sigmoid bladder surgery
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how the brain controls bladder function after you’ve had a sigmoid “neobladder” surgery. You may be able to take part if you’re well enough for MRI and don’t have certain brain, mental health, or urinary conditions.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06401304Recruiting
Value-based breast surgery outcomes study

SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT06399926Recruiting
Pemetrexed via Ommaya for lung cancer in brain lining
This study tests whether a drug called pemetrexed, given directly into the fluid around your brain through a small implanted device, is safe and effective for treating lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain. It is for people whose cancer has a specific genetic change (EGFR, ALK, or ROS1) and who have already tried standard targeted pills that no longer control their disease.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06389448Recruiting
Comparing Two Imaging Methods for Stomach Lesion Diagnosis
This trial compares two special camera methods (pCLE and EB) used during endoscopy to better see and diagnose early stomach changes. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for precancerous spots or very early cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06311929RecruitingPhase 4
Personalized treatment after liver cancer surgery
This trial tests a tailored treatment plan after surgery for liver cancer that shows a specific blood vessel pattern (VETC). The goal is to find the best follow-up therapy to lower the chance of cancer coming back.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06251947RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Efbemalenograstim alfa for ovarian or cervical cancer chemotherapy
This trial tests a medication (Efbemalenograstim alfa) that helps boost your white blood cell counts during chemotherapy for ovarian or cervical cancer. It aims to reduce the risk of serious infections (febrile neutropenia) while you receive standard treatment with paclitaxel plus carboplatin or cisplatin, with or without bevacizumab.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–70 - NCT06311942RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing triple vs. dual therapy after liver surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding a third drug to standard two-drug therapy after liver surgery helps prevent liver cancer from returning. It is for people who have a specific blood vessel pattern in their tumor, called VETC, seen on a special stain.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06397222RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments: an immunotherapy drug (Sintilimab), a targeted therapy (Bevacizumab), and a type of internal radiation (SIRT) for people with intermediate or advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04680377Recruiting
Using gut microbes to predict durvalumab side effects in lung cancer
This study looks at the microbiome (the tiny organisms in your gut) to try to predict who will get side effects from durvalumab after chemoradiation. If you join, your care team will use your microbiome results to help understand toxicity risk and improve future treatment planning.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05502887Recruiting
Blood cancer registry study on blood vessel lining changes
This study enrolls adults with suspected or confirmed blood cancers to record information and look at changes in the blood vessel lining. Researchers hope this can help explain what happens over time and improve understanding of outcomes.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT05162677Recruiting
Study skin thickness and tissue after preventive breast removal
This study looks at what happens to the skin and remaining breast tissue after a preventive (non-cancer) mastectomy. It uses imaging and exams to understand why some patients may have skin healing problems.
UmeåAges 18–74 - NCT03914378Recruiting
Study how radiation and cisplatin affect hearing in head and neck cancer
This study looks at how radiotherapy, and possibly cisplatin chemotherapy, affect hearing in people treated for head and neck cancer. It may help doctors better predict hearing side effects and plan hearing monitoring or prevention.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT05727605Recruiting
Thinking changes after radiotherapy for brain and skull-base tumors
This trial studies how radiotherapy affects memory and thinking in adults with certain brain or skull-base tumors. It may help doctors understand who is most likely to have thinking changes and how to monitor or support patients.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT06405217Recruiting
Recombinant TSH for radioactive iodine therapy in thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether a medicine called recombinant human thyroid stimulating hormone (rhTSH) can help prepare your body for radioactive iodine (131I) treatment, which aims to destroy any remaining or spreading thyroid cancer cells. It may be a good option if your thyroid cancer has come back or spread and you are able to have radioactive iodine therapy.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06368063RecruitingPhase 4
Huaier granules after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a Chinese herbal medicine called Huaier granules works better than standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that was removed by surgery. Participants can choose to take Huaier granules or standard chemotherapy, and researchers will compare outcomes.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–80 - NCT06404528Recruiting
Low-dose chemo under low blood sugar for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests whether giving low-dose chemotherapy while your blood sugar is low can help treat advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.

Lidocaine for pain and survival after bowel surgery in older adults
This study tests whether a drug called lidocaine, given during surgery, can help control pain after colon or rectal surgery and possibly improve long-term survival in older adults. The goal is to see if lidocaine offers better pain relief and recovery compared to standard care.

3D Lung Map to Guide Small Nodule Surgery
This trial tests a new way to guide lung surgery by using a 3D map of the lung's natural zones (watersheds) to find the best spot to remove a small lung nodule. It aims to help doctors remove just the right amount of lung tissue while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
