It is for people with HER2-positive advanced or metastatic urothelial (bladder/urinary tract) cancer whose disease has progressed after prior platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05778253Recruiting
Blood and AI pathology to guide treatment in resectable lung cancer
This study checks whether special blood testing plus computer-based review of tumor slides can help plan care for lung squamous cell cancer that can be removed by surgery. It looks at patients who have not had prior cancer treatment and who meet specific stage and health criteria.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06088004RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ABO2011 for advanced solid tumors (phase 1/2)
This trial tests a new investigational drug called ABO2011, which is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can help shrink or slow tumor growth.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05740839Recruiting
High-intensity exercise program for young brain tumor survivors
This pilot study tests whether a high-intensity interval exercise routine is safe and doable for young adult survivors of pediatric brain tumors. It may help you improve fitness and quality of life while researchers closely monitor safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT05903261Recruiting
Study of targeted radiation for rare cancers with limited spread
This observational study follows people with rare solid tumors and a limited number of metastases treated with a focused radiation technique (SBRT). Doctors want to see outcomes after using a strong, curative-intent radiation dose to all active spots.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05888064Recruiting
Imaging-guided personalized radiation for skull-base chordoma
This trial studies how detailed imaging can guide personalized (custom) radiation treatment for skull-base chordoma. It may help doctors plan treatment more accurately using measurements taken before and during therapy.
Pavia, PvAges 18 years+ - NCT05877924RecruitingPhase 1
Early-phase study of an injected cancer treatment for advanced tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests NBL-020, an injected medicine, in adults with advanced solid cancers (and possibly some skin T-cell lymphoma) to see how it works and how safe it is. You may be considered if standard treatment has stopped working or isn’t tolerated and if you can provide recent tumor tissue for lab testing.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05773820RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing WJB001 capsules for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests whether WJB001 capsules can treat advanced solid tumors in adults whose cancer has progressed after standard treatment (or who cannot take standard treatment). It also studies side effects and whether the drug can work for certain tumor types and genetic markers.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05740111Enrolling by invitation
Watching early for pancreatic cancer in people at high risk
This study tests a personalized “watch and check” plan to help find pancreatic cancer as early as possible in people with a strong family history or certain inherited gene changes. It may help doctors tailor how often you’re monitored based on your risk.
OsloAges 30–80 - NCT05910398RecruitingPhase 3
Extending anti-HER2 treatment after breast cancer surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether continuing or pausing the anti-HER2 medicine pyrotinib after surgery can lower the chance that invasive HER2-positive breast cancer comes back. It may help people who have recently finished trastuzumab or T-DM1 and are well enough to take tablets.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05679427Recruiting
Surgery-like radiation for limited bone spread
This trial compares two types of highly focused radiation (ablative radiosurgery versus stereotactic radiation in 5 sessions) for people with a small number of metastases in the bone. It aims to find which approach controls these spots with fewer side effects while keeping the treatment “radical,” meaning trying to wipe out the targeted lesions.

First-in-human capsule for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a new oral capsule (TY-2699a) in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have limited treatment options. It will look for the safest dose and whether the drug can shrink tumors, especially in certain genetic/biomarker patterns.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05733806Recruiting

Study drug for advanced solid tumors in adults
This early study tests a new medicine (BPI-460372) in adults with advanced solid cancers that have come back or can’t be treated with standard options. It may help by targeting specific cancer changes in certain tumors, and doctors will also learn the safest dose.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05873777Recruiting
PET/CT scans to compare two tracers in FAP or SSTR2-positive cancer
This study compares two special PET/CT scan tracers—68Ga-FAPI-LM3 and 18F-FDG—to see how well they detect cancer that shows FAP or SSTR2 signals. It may help doctors choose better imaging to find or assess certain tumors.
