Study immune drug plus chemo before surgery versus surgery first
This Phase 3 trial compares two treatment plans for stage III/IVA head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). One plan uses an immune drug with chemotherapy before surgery; the other goes straight to surgery first, to see which approach works better.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06167967Recruiting
Blood test for chemotherapy guidance in stage 3 colorectal cancer
This study uses a blood test to check for tumor DNA after surgery, which may help doctors decide if you need additional chemotherapy. It is for people with stage 3 colorectal cancer that is removed by surgery.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06420258RecruitingPhase 4
Deeper intubation for cervical esophageal cancer removal
This study tests if inserting the endoscope deeper helps remove early-stage cervical esophageal cancer or precancerous cells more effectively. It may offer a safer, less invasive option for you.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT05954078RecruitingPhase 3
ctDNA-guided chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery
This trial checks whether a special blood test (ctDNA methylation) can help decide the best chemotherapy after surgery for people at higher risk of colon cancer coming back. It may help spare some patients unnecessary treatment while aiming to improve outcomes for those likely to relapse.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06418776RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing treatments for AML that returns or doesn't respond
This study compares two different treatments for people whose AML did not go away with initial therapy or came back early. It aims to find which approach works better.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06420427Recruiting
Blood test to predict cervical cancer return after surgery
This trial uses a simple blood test to look for cancer DNA (ctDNA) and HPV DNA after cervical cancer surgery. The goal is to detect any return of the cancer early, so you and your doctor can act quickly.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06418165Recruiting
Cooled oxygenated machine perfusion for liver transplant
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers using a machine that keeps the organ cool and oxygenated before transplant. It may help improve how well the liver works after the surgery.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06296732Recruiting
Keyhole surgery for childhood neuroblastoma
This study looks at using keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to remove neuroblastoma tumors in children. It groups tumors by risk factors to see which children can safely have this less invasive surgery.
MoscowAges 1 day–18 years - NCT06421805Recruiting
Mediastinal Tumor Patient Database Study
This study is building a database of people with mediastinal tumors. It will collect health information over time to help doctors better understand these tumors and improve care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06421298RecruitingPhase 2
Tafolecimab and sintilimab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial is testing a new combination of treatments, including an immune drug (sintilimab) and a cholesterol-lowering drug (tafolecimab), along with chemotherapy, for people with advanced lung cancer that no longer responds to standard immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT02920554Recruiting
Surgery comparison for T2–T3 gallbladder cancer
This study looks at whether a specific type of liver surgery (removing tissue in a wedge shape versus a different liver resection) improves outcomes for some patients with T2 or T3 gallbladder cancer. It may help decide the best surgical approach after the gallbladder has already been removed.
SuwonAges 19–80 - NCT06353685RecruitingPhase 2
Less radiation after surgery for oral cancer with good response
This trial is testing whether giving less radiation after surgery is safe and effective for people with oral cancer whose surgery results were very good (no cancer cells or very few left). It aims to reduce side effects while still preventing cancer from coming back.
GuangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT06408584Recruiting
Short radiation plus two drugs for returning esophageal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation combined with two drugs (raltitrexed and tislelizumab) for people with esophageal cancer that has returned after standard treatment. The goal is to see if these combinations can shrink tumors and improve survival.
HefeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07851857RecruitingPhase 3
Short course of antibiotics after head and neck cancer surgery
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics for one day after head and neck surgery works just as well as giving them for longer to prevent infections. It might help you have a smoother recovery with fewer side effects from antibiotics.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07850882Recruiting
Virus injection plus immunotherapy for advanced colorectal, stomach, or liver cancer
This study tests whether a special virus injected directly into tumors can help your body fight cancer when combined with an immunotherapy drug. It is for people with advanced colorectal, stomach, or liver cancer that has spread and who have tumors that can be reached for injection.
Guangdong, FoshanAges 18–75 - NCT07851636Recruiting
Fast genetic testing to guide treatment for rare brain tumors
This trial tests a new way to pick treatments for rare brain tumors that have come back. Doctors will quickly analyze your tumor's genes and test drugs in the lab to find the best option for you.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 45 years - NCT07852871Recruiting
MicroRNA test for small testicular masses
This study looks at whether a blood test for microRNAs can help decide if a small testicular mass (a lump or growth) needs surgery or can be safely watched. It aims to avoid unnecessary surgery for benign masses.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07850869Recruiting
Virus injection plus immunotherapy for advanced breast cancer
This study tests a new approach that combines a modified virus (H101) injected directly into the tumor with immunotherapy drugs that help your immune system fight cancer. It is for people with advanced breast cancer who have already tried standard treatments and could not continue chemotherapy.
Guangdong, FoshanAges 18–75 - NCT07851363Recruiting
Spinal fluid test for tracking brain lymphoma
This study uses a simple spinal fluid test (liquid biopsy) to find and track how primary CNS lymphoma responds to treatment. The goal is to help doctors plan your care with fewer invasive procedures.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03108196Recruiting
Tested neobladder type after bladder cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways surgeons rebuild a new bladder using either sigmoid colon tissue or ileum (small intestine) tissue. It aims to see which option is safer and works better for people having bladder cancer surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–100 - NCT07850791RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two drugs for advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab, for people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has grown after previous treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07851493Recruiting
Exercise assessment before chemotherapy for multiple myeloma
This study looks at how exercise affects the body before you start chemotherapy for multiple myeloma. It aims to understand your fitness level to help tailor treatment support.
Munich, BavariaAges 18–99 - NCT07851350Recruiting
Preparing for major surgery with a personalized fitness plan
This study offers a program to help you get physically and mentally ready for major surgery. It tests whether a personalized preparation plan improves recovery and reduces complications.

A study of a radioactive drug for men with metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests a new radioactive drug (called [177Lu]Ludotadipep) that targets a molecule on prostate cancer cells. It may help slow cancer growth in men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy.
