Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06042569RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose chemo for older women with HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of two chemotherapy drugs (docetaxel and cyclophosphamide) works well for women 65 and older with early-stage HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to maintain effectiveness while reducing side effects in this group.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT06027996Recruiting
Melodi Matrix in breast reconstruction
This trial tests a new mesh-like device called Melodi Matrix to support breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help women who are planning immediate two-stage implant reconstruction after removing one or both breasts.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT05940961RecruitingPhase 2
Inotuzumab for MRD-positive B-cell leukemia after transplant
This trial studies inotuzumab, a targeted cancer drug, for people whose B-cell ALL has returned at a very low level after a bone-marrow or stem-cell transplant. If you qualify, it may help push the leukemia back under control after transplant.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 15–65 - NCT06134232RecruitingPhase 2
Extra sipuleucel-T after Provenge for prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding one extra infusion of sipuleucel-T (the same drug as Provenge) after the standard three doses can help men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. It is for men who have already finished their three Provenge infusions and have mild or no symptoms.
Tuscon, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06121505RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding low-dose radiation and a type of targeted radiation (SBRT) to a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and chemotherapy works better than immunotherapy and chemotherapy alone for people with advanced squamous cell lung cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06063018RecruitingPhase 2
Testing RC48 and Tislelizumab for recurrent cervical cancer with HER2
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, RC48 and Tislelizumab, for people with recurrent cervical cancer whose tumors have a protein called HER2. The goal is to see if this treatment can help when previous therapy has stopped working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05940441Recruiting
Low-dose capecitabine after throat cancer treatment
This study tests whether low-dose capecitabine given after standard treatment can lower the chance that locoregional (nearby) throat cancer returns. It is designed for adults with advanced hypopharyngeal (throat) cancer who have finished curative chemoradiation or surgery and follow-up therapy and show no active cancer on exam.
ShanghaiAges 18–65 - NCT06124976RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A new treatment for low-grade kidney/ureter cancer (ST-02)
This trial tests a new treatment called ST-02 that is given directly into the kidney or ureter to destroy low-grade cancer cells without surgery. It may be an option for people whose cancer has not spread and who are looking for a less invasive treatment.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05998278Recruiting
Personalized prostate biopsy study
This trial is testing a more personalized way to perform prostate biopsies. It's for men who have a suspicious finding on exam or imaging, or a higher PSA level, and who have had a special MRI that suggests cancer. The goal is to improve accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 50–95 - NCT05929365Recruiting
Test genetic marker tracking to find returning colon polyps
This study looks at stool or tissue DNA changes (called mutation analysis) plus colonoscopy findings to detect whether colon polyps come back. It may help catch recurrent colorectal lesions earlier during surveillance after a large polyp was removed.
PragueAges 18–75 - NCT06022965Recruiting
Telemedicine support for older adults with cancer
This study uses telemedicine (video or phone visits) to help older adults with cancer, especially those in underserved communities, get better care. If you're 65 or older and starting a new cancer treatment, you may be able to join from home in English, Spanish, or Chinese.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT05830045RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies QLP2117, a new treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors that have come back or didn’t respond to standard care. It mainly looks at safety and how the body handles the drug, and it may help find a dose worth further study.
