Extra radiation to lymph nodes above collarbone for high-risk breast cancer
This trial tests giving a focused, higher dose of radiation to the lymph nodes above the collarbone after breast cancer treatment. It is for patients whose cancer did not fully disappear from those nodes after pre-surgery chemotherapy, to see if extra radiation can help prevent recurrence.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06404671Recruiting
Timing of surgery after chemo for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether waiting longer between chemotherapy and surgery affects outcomes for advanced ovarian cancer. It is for women who have had three cycles of chemo and whose disease can be removed surgically.
AlexandriaAges 18–75 - NCT06403735RecruitingPhase 1
Study of QLC1101 for advanced solid tumors with KRAS G12D mutation
This trial tests a new drug, QLC1101, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change called KRAS G12D. It may be an option if you have tried other treatments or cannot take them.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05768087Recruiting
Testing higher-dose proton radiation for new glioblastoma
This trial is testing an escalated dose of proton beam radiation, along with standard chemotherapy and MRI-guided planning, for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to see whether the higher radiation dose can improve treatment while staying safe for nearby critical brain structures.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05397262Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment with radiation plus heat therapy
This trial studies adding “heat treatment” (hyperthermia) to standard bladder cancer care using radiation, sometimes with chemotherapy. It may help the radiation work better, but your eligibility depends on cancer stage, your general health, and certain heart and metal-safety issues.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT06002659RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T therapy targeting CD20 for B-cell lymphoma
This study tests a new type of CAR T cell therapy that targets the CD20 protein on B-cell lymphoma cells. It is for people with certain types of B-cell lymphoma that have not responded to at least two previous treatments and who cannot use or have already tried the approved CD19 CAR T therapy.
StockholmAges Any age - NCT05842629Recruiting
Better ways to diagnose ovarian cancer
This study focuses on improving diagnosis of ovarian cancer. If you have an abnormal mass seen on ultrasound near the ovaries, the researchers may evaluate how best to identify whether it could be ovarian cancer.
AarhusAges Any age - NCT05730608Recruiting
PET/CT scan test for high-risk breast cancer
This trial studies how an FDG PET/CT scan (a special imaging test that looks for active cancer activity) can be used in people with high-risk primary or recurring breast cancer. It may help doctors better identify areas of concern and guide future care.
DrammenAges 18 years+ - NCT05763511Recruiting
Blood test to help diagnose ovarian cancer sooner
This study checks whether a special blood test (circulating tumor DNA) can help find ovarian cancer when it’s suspected. It may help doctors diagnose more accurately and sooner, so the right treatment can start sooner.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06214598Recruiting
Anti-inflammatory diet for breast cancer patients on hormone therapy
This study tests whether a special anti-inflammatory diet can help reduce side effects in breast cancer survivors who are taking aromatase inhibitors after menopause. You would be randomly assigned to either follow the diet for 6 months or continue your usual diet, and your health will be monitored.
BelgradeAges 45–70 - NCT06406634RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab, Lenvatinib, and HAIC for Unresectable Liver Cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. It uses an immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab), a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib), and a direct chemotherapy infusion into the liver (HAIC). The goal is to see if this combo can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06405997Recruiting
Study of LAM: genes and symptoms
This study looks at the genes and physical traits of people with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease that causes cysts. It aims to help better understand and treat LAM.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04061512RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Rituximab plus ibrutinib versus standard steroids plus rituximab
This trial compares two starting treatment plans for Waldenström’s macroglobulinaemia, testing whether one works better or causes fewer problems. It studies rituximab plus ibrutinib versus a standard mix of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (steroids).
BathAges 18 years+ - NCT06406244Recruiting
TEAS for chronic pain after liver surgery
This trial tests whether a gentle, needle-free electrical stimulation on certain points on the body (called TEAS) can help reduce chronic pain after liver surgery and improve long-term survival. It may be a good option if you are scheduled for a liver removal and want to explore non-drug pain relief.
ChengduAges 18–80 - NCT06405945Recruiting
Cervical cancer risk study for average-risk adults
This study aims to better understand who is most likely to develop cervical cancer. It uses a simple blood test and follow-up during colposcopy to improve screening for people at average risk.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05664464RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Glutamate drugs for newly diagnosed brain tumor treatment
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether “glutamate inhibitor” medications can be safely added for newly diagnosed glioblastoma, and how they affect treatment outcomes. It’s designed for adults who will also receive the standard chemo‑radiation plan with temozolomide.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05693844RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MSLN CAR T cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a lab-made immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) that targets a protein called mesothelin (MSLN) in advanced or metastatic solid cancers. It may help your body better recognize and attack tumor cells, especially if standard first treatments did not work or are not available.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06023758RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two drugs with or without chemo for HER2-positive stomach cancer
This study tests two new immunotherapy drugs (KN026 and KN046) with or without chemotherapy (XELOX) for people with a specific type of advanced stomach cancer that makes too much HER2 protein. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05804786Recruiting
Study of bronchoscopy to diagnose lung spots
This study follows people who have lung “spots” that look like possible lung cancer and need a biopsy to figure out what they are. It uses a guided breathing-tube procedure to safely collect tissue so doctors can make a diagnosis.
DaeguAges 19 years+ - NCT06313086RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs. T-DM1 for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new antibody-drug conjugate (DP303c) against an existing one, T-DM1, in people with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer who have already been treated with trastuzumab and a taxane. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06109454Recruiting
Huaier granules after lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether Huaier granules can help prevent lung cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people with stage II–IIIA non-small cell lung cancer who have recently had their tumor completely removed and have not had other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06410092RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of FTL001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called FTL001 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not improved with standard therapy. The goal is to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05494086Recruiting
Laparoscopic stomach surgery for early gastric cancer
This study looks at a surgical technique (“dual-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy”) for people with stomach adenocarcinoma at an early, specific stage. The goal is to remove the tumor with clean margins (called an “R0” result) and see how this approach works safely.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05525338RecruitingPhase 4
Test standard vs adjusted alectinib dose using blood levels
This trial compares the usual dose of alectinib with a modified dose chosen by checking alectinib blood levels. It aims to see whether adjusting the dose based on blood testing can work as well (and possibly be better tolerated) for people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
