Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04694924Recruiting
Prostate cancer patient registry to track experiences
This study builds a database of people with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer to better understand patient-reported outcomes (your experiences and quality-of-life). It may help improve future care by collecting consistent feedback from patients.
Dendermonde, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT06299553Recruiting
Study of tafasitamab with lenalidomide for relapsed DLBCL patients
This study looks at how well a combination of two drugs, tafasitamab and lenalidomide, works for people with a type of lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. After the combination, patients continue with tafasitamab alone. This is for patients who cannot have a stem cell transplant.

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–50 - NCT04625907RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study testing treatment options for children and adults with RMS
This study tests different treatment approaches for rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in children and adults, including newly diagnosed high-risk cases, people needing radiotherapy, and people whose RMS has returned. It’s designed to find safer dosing and more effective therapy while checking whether participants can proceed based on health and timing requirements.
BrisbaneAges Any age - NCT06424899RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoimmunotherapy before and after chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This study tests whether combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy before and after chemoradiation helps people with stage III lung cancer that can be removed by surgery. It might improve how well treatment works and reduce the chance of cancer coming back.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06389006RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for HER2-low, hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (disitamab vedotin and toripalimab) followed by chemotherapy before surgery for people with a specific type of breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-low. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer CenterAges 18 years+ - NCT06426810Recruiting
New vs. standard surgical tool for bleeding control after lymph node biopsy
This trial compares two tools used during surgery to stop bleeding after a sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer. It aims to see if a newer bipolar system is better than the standard electrocautery device.
Seoul, Dongjak-guAges 20–80 - NCT06427460RecruitingPhase 2
Focused radiation therapy for solid tumors
This trial tests a special type of radiation that delivers a higher dose to the center of the tumor while limiting radiation to nearby healthy organs. It's for people with certain solid tumors that haven't spread widely or have only a few metastases.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06423976Recruiting
Studying microbes in prostate cancer tumors
This trial collects tumor samples from men with prostate cancer to study the bacteria and other microbes inside the tumor. It aims to learn how these microbes might affect the cancer and treatment.
Sutton, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT06431100Recruiting
A study of TRT therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called TRTs for people with advanced cancers like stomach, esophagus, cervical, breast, or lung cancer that no longer respond to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own tumor tissue or fluid to create a personalized treatment.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05911217RecruitingPhase 1
CT041 treatment after chemotherapy for resected pancreatic cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether CT041 is safe and may help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after it’s been removed and you’ve completed standard chemotherapy. You may be eligible if your tumor is positive for CLDN18.2 and your recovery and blood tests meet key requirements.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–79 - NCT06429839RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab with chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a drug called nimotuzumab combined with standard chemotherapy and radiation for patients with esophageal cancer. It may help improve treatment effectiveness for those whose cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06430502Recruiting
Cancer vaccine plus immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a cancer vaccine (called TTV) combined with a PD-1 inhibitor (a type of immunotherapy) for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this new combination helps shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT06430515Recruiting
Injecting chemo into tumors for advanced solid cancers
This trial tests if injecting chemotherapy directly into tumors can help people with advanced solid cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see how safe and effective this approach is.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT06431620Recruiting
Thyroid cancer scan with help of a special hormone
This study tests if a man-made hormone (rhTSH) can make radioactive iodine therapy more effective for people with advanced thyroid cancer that has come back or spread. It aims to see if it helps find and treat cancer that doesn't respond well to standard radioactive iodine.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05326919Recruiting
Study biobank for people newly diagnosed with certain blood cancers
This study follows people who are newly diagnosed (and haven’t been fully treated yet) with specific leukemia or related blood disorders to help researchers learn which treatments may work best. It may help by connecting you to a larger “precision medicine” patient group for future research.
BobignyAges Any age - NCT05580861RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sulfasalazine for newly diagnosed AML in older adults on chemo
This Phase 1/2 trial studies whether sulfasalazine, added to intensive chemotherapy, can help older adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to improve treatment effectiveness and track leukemia “leftover cells” in some participants.
AmiensAges 60 years+ - NCT05310591RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study anti-PD1 treatment with Kymriah re-dosing for leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial studies giving an anti-PD1 antibody (like pembrolizumab or nivolumab) along with a second Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) infusion in children and young adults whose B-cell leukemia is coming back or their Kymriah effect has faded. It may help the new immune treatment work better after the first Kymriah.
BordeauxAges 1–25 - NCT04905810RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine or decitabine plus venetoclax for AML after prior failure
This trial studies whether adding venetoclax to either azacitidine or decitabine can treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) when earlier “hypomethylating” treatment has stopped working. You might be a candidate if you’ve already tried azacitidine or decitabine for a related blood condition and it failed, and you meet the health-safety limits.

Checking coronary calcium to study late heart blood vessel changes
This study looks at coronary calcium (a signal seen on heart scans) to help measure early or late heart blood-vessel problems in people who had cancer treatment as children or young adults. The goal is to better understand who may be at higher risk years later, especially after radiation or certain chemotherapy.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT05868395RecruitingPhase 2
Treating relapsed mantle cell lymphoma with three drug combination
