Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05749627Recruiting
Vaccine for advanced cancers using your tumor’s targets
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from “neoantigens” (tumor-specific targets) to help your immune system fight advanced, inoperable solid tumors. It may be an option if standard treatment didn’t work or you stopped it and your health is strong enough for trial treatment.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–70 - NCT05738616RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lenvatinib plus TACE and immunotherapy before liver surgery
This study tests whether a combination of the drug lenvatinib, a liver treatment called TACE, and the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab can shrink advanced hepatocellular carcinoma enough to make surgery (or “conversion resection”) possible. It may help some people live longer by improving the chance that the cancer can be removed.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT05841563RecruitingPhase 1
PM54 for advanced solid tumors after limited treatment options
This Phase 1 trial tests PM54, a study drug, in people with advanced (cancer that has spread) solid tumors when standard treatments are no longer working. It focuses on safety and early signs of how well the treatment may work in specific cancer types.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05738434RecruitingPhase 2
Testing immunotherapy plus targeted drug with short chemo for esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining camrelizumab (immunotherapy) and apatinib (a targeted drug) with short-course chemotherapy can control advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It may help by improving cancer response and slowing disease growth if you’re eligible and haven’t had prior whole-body (systemic) anti-cancer treatment.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05881265RecruitingPhase 2
Chidamide plus venetoclax for hard-to-treat APL
This trial studies chidamide and venetoclax in people with a specific type of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) that has not responded to standard treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (RA) plus arsenic. It may help by testing a new combination for cases in “non-remission” status.
Huai'an, JiangsuAges 16–70 - NCT05649852Recruiting
Testing how socio-aesthetic care may reduce anxiety during chemotherapy
This study looks at whether “socio-aesthetic” care (support that combines social and beauty/wellbeing elements) can lessen anxiety in people starting chemotherapy. It is designed for patients who are new to chemotherapy and can complete French questionnaires.
ValenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05652192RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus chemotherapy and immunotherapy for metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation (SBRT) to chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug can help people with metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer live longer and control tumors. It may help by combining local tumor treatment with whole-body immune support.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05731622Recruiting
Mitomycin C in the bladder after ureteroscopy for UTUC
This trial studies whether a medicine called mitomycin C given as a one-time bladder treatment right after ureteroscopy can reduce later recurrence (measured by urine test results and “IVR rate”). It may help people with non-spreading UTUC who are having endoscopic procedures and are planned for this standard add-on treatment.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05727410RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab and chemotherapy before surgery and radiation for salivary cancer
This Phase 2 study tests giving nivolumab plus docetaxel and cisplatin before surgery and radiation for certain resectable, high-grade salivary gland cancers. It aims to shrink or control the cancer early to improve outcomes after treatment.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05834764RecruitingPhase 2
Pyrotinib for high-risk HER2-positive early breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pyrotinib, a HER2-targeted cancer medicine, in people with high-risk, HER2-positive breast cancer after surgery. It aims to lower the chance the cancer comes back, especially when standard treatment did not fully clear the tumor.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05797805RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for advanced liver cancer after prior treatments
This early-phase study tests tegavivint in people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. It’s meant for cases where the cancer can’t be treated with curative surgery/local procedures or has progressed after standard systemic medicines.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05777603RecruitingPhase 1
Aerosol antibiotics plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether inhaled (aerosol) antibiotics combined with pembrolizumab can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite standard first treatment. It aims to improve cancer control by testing this new combination in Phase 1 safety and early effectiveness.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05676255RecruitingPhase 2
SUPORT study for breast cancer survivors and their partners
This Phase 2 study looks at an online program for breast cancer survivors and their supportive partners who live together. The goal is to see whether the program helps survivors and partners during survivorship and adjustment after treatment.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05681260RecruitingPhase 3
Methotrexate dose comparison for newly diagnosed T-cell lymphoma
This Phase 3 trial compares a higher dose of methotrexate versus an escalating (step-up) methotrexate plan in children newly diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. The goal is to see which dosing approach works better and is safe enough to use as standard treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1–18 - NCT05916248RecruitingEarly Phase 1
mRNA vaccine plus pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests whether a personalized mRNA vaccine, given with pembrolizumab, can help people with advanced solid tumors by training the immune system to recognize cancer. It is mainly for patients whose tumor tissue matches specific genetic and immune patterns, and who meet key safety and infection requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05710679Recruiting
Blood test predicts leftover cancer after intensified head and neck radiation
This study uses a blood test to see whether cancer DNA is still detectable after a stronger combination of radiation and chemotherapy for locally advanced head and neck cancer. The goal is to predict who may have “residual” (remaining) disease and help guide future care.
Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-DômeAges 18–80 - NCT05788029Enrolling by invitation
Laparoscopic vs open pancreatic surgery for periampullary cancer
This trial compares two ways of doing a major pancreas-and-duodenum operation: laparoscopic (small incisions) versus open surgery (larger incision). It aims to see which approach works better for nonpancreatic periampullary adenocarcinoma when the goal is cure.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05678933Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Test adding a targeted drug to CHOP for untreated PTCL
This Phase 3 study compares two chemo options—CHOP alone versus CHOP plus AC—for people whose peripheral T-cell lymphoma is the “T-follicular helper” type (PTCL-TFH). The goal is to see which treatment works better for people who have not received lymphoma treatment yet.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05649943Recruiting
New prostate cancer treatment plus local therapy for metastatic cases
This trial studies whether adding apalutamide to standard hormone therapy (ADT) improves outcomes for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Some people may also receive local treatments (like surgery or radiotherapy) to control the prostate and nearby areas.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05663775RecruitingPhase 2
Mesalamine to prevent bowel inflammation after melanoma immunotherapy
This study tests whether taking mesalamine can prevent colitis (bowel inflammation) in people with advanced melanoma who are treated with ipilimumab plus nivolumab. It may help reduce dangerous stomach or bowel side effects from this cancer treatment.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05895825RecruitingPhase 1
Testing EOC237 for advanced solid tumors that need new options
This early-stage trial tests EOC237 in people with advanced solid tumors when standard treatments are no longer working. It’s meant to see whether the treatment can be given safely and start to show if it may help.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05698147RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Selinexor plus methotrexate and rituximab for recurrent brain lymphoma
This trial tests selinexor given together with methotrexate and rituximab to treat lymphoma that has returned or not responded in the brain. It may help by attacking cancer cells in the central nervous system (brain/spinal fluid) after prior treatment.
