It may help people who have limited options after earlier chemotherapy and/or hormone (endocrine) treatments.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT05417932RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell therapy for hepatitis B–related liver cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests a lab-made cell treatment (SCG101) for people with hepatitis B–related liver cancer who have already had standard treatments. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes in carefully selected patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT05377905RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Microneedle skin treatment plus doxorubicin for skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether delivering chemotherapy through tiny skin needles (microneedles) can shrink or control cutaneous squamous cell cancer (cSCC) that can be surgically treated. Because it’s Phase 1/2, the main goals are to check safety and find the best way to deliver the treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05367635RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced stomach cancers with CLDN18.2
This Phase 1 study tests SKB315 to treat advanced solid tumors, with special focus on stomach/gastroesophageal junction cancer that has high CLDN18.2 in tumor tissue. It may help you if standard treatments have not worked or are not available, though early-phase studies mainly look at safety and the best way to dose.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05455918RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo with paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin for high-risk germ cell tumors
This Phase 2 trial tests a specific chemotherapy combination (paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin) for children and teens with newly diagnosed, high-risk germ cell tumors. It aims to improve outcomes by treating cancer cells with a stronger chemo plan.
SeoulAges 1–20 - NCT05349240Recruiting
Treatment-guided endoscopy for moderate to severe esophageal dysplasia
This trial studies a newer approach to treat abnormal, precancer-like changes in the esophagus seen on a special endoscopy test using iodine. It may help prevent progression and spread by targeting moderate to severe dysplasia that appears in a specific, limited pattern.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05417867Recruiting
Tracking gut bacteria changes and nausea during chemo
This study looks at how changes in the gut “microbiome” (your gut bacteria) relate to fatigue and chemotherapy-induced nausea in people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better understand why nausea and fatigue happen and how to predict or manage them during treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 20 years+ - NCT05635487RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer with SHR-A1811
This trial tests whether SHR-A1811 alone, or together with pyrotinib, given before surgery, can shrink HER2-positive breast cancer. It may help you respond better to treatment while making surgery easier.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT05390567Recruiting
Mobile reminders to help women catch up on cancer screening
This study tests a mobile outreach effort to help women who are behind on recommended cervical cancer screening. It may help you learn when to get screened and connect you to care that may be easier to access.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 25–65 - NCT05481658RecruitingPhase 1
DPCP plus immunotherapy for skin cancer spread to the skin
This Phase 1 study tests a skin-applied treatment called DPCP added to standard PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy for cancers that have spread to the skin. It aims to improve control of skin tumors while checking safety and how well the immune system responds.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05522868RecruitingPhase 1
Tested drug for solid tumors after standard treatment stopped
This Phase 1 study tests SB17170 in people with solid tumors that have spread or grown despite standard treatments. It looks for safety and early signs of how well the drug might work when other options have failed.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05534321RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Preventive radiation for high-risk spinal bone metastases
This trial tests whether preventive (before serious problems happen) radiation to the spine can help people with high-risk, mostly symptom-free bone metastases. It may reduce the chance of pain escalation or dangerous complications from cancer in the spine.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05547633Recruiting
Study to monitor and treat sinus problems in wet AMD
This study looks at whether sinus infections or inflammation affect people who have “wet” age-related macular degeneration and are already receiving regular eye injections. It may help them find better ways to detect and manage sinusitis while continuing AMD care.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05430035RecruitingEarly Phase 1
HIPEC for high-risk gallbladder cancer after surgery
This early-phase study tests whether a treatment called HIPEC is safe and feasible in people with high-risk gallbladder adenocarcinoma after surgery. HIPEC delivers chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during the operation to lower the chance of cancer coming back.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05443425RecruitingPhase 1
Leflunomide plus steroids for acute graft-versus-host disease
This early-phase trial tests whether adding leflunomide to standard steroid treatment can better control acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) after a stem cell transplant. It may help reduce the immune reaction that damages the body while keeping treatment safe and manageable.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05417516RecruitingPhase 3
Partial breast radiation after lumpectomy in early breast cancer
This trial compares a shorter course of radiation focused on part of the breast versus a standard approach after lumpectomy. It aims to see if treating a smaller area can control the cancer while reducing treatment burden.
Darlinghurst, New South WalesAges 50–120 - NCT05357768Recruiting
Research study of rare round cell sarcoma biology and outcomes
This study collects information and archived tumor samples from people with undifferentiated round cell sarcoma to better understand the disease. It may help future diagnoses and treatments by linking lab findings in tumor tissue to clinical outcomes.
Bologna, BOAges Any age - NCT05444088RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy plus targeted drug for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests SHR-8068 combined with adebrelimab and bevacizumab in people with advanced, hard-to-treat liver cancer. It aims to see whether this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes after standard treatments don’t work or aren’t an option.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05272371RecruitingPhase 1
Dinutuximab beta plus chemo for childhood neuroblastoma after relapse
This Phase 1 trial tests a combination of dinutuximab beta (an immunotherapy) and chemotherapy in children with high-risk neuroblastoma that did not respond to standard treatment or has come back or progressed. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safely it can be given in this situation.
Krakow, MalopolskaAges 1–18 - NCT05549167RecruitingPhase 3
Sirolimus for children with juvenile nasal blood tumors
This trial tests whether sirolimus can shrink or control juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma in children and teens, and checks its safety. It may help families who cannot rely only on surgery, especially for larger or hard-to-treat tumors.
MoscowAges 7–18 - NCT05400967RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Scan metastatic tumors and test targeted radiation treatment
This trial looks at whether a special PET scan can find metastatic tumors and guide a targeted radiation treatment. It may help people by improving how doctors locate tumors and decide where to deliver therapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05426928Recruiting
Study of body heat modeling during HIPEC surgery
This trial studies how the body’s heat changes during HIPEC surgery for abdominal cancer. It may help improve how doctors plan and deliver HIPEC in the future.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05460780Recruiting
Tissue device study for breast reconstruction after mastectomy
This first-time-in-humans study tests a tissue-engineering chamber called MATTISSE® to help the healing of breast reconstruction using specific tissue flaps after mastectomy for cancer. If you qualify, you would be assessed for safety and how well the reconstructed tissue heals.
Strasbourg, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05539833RecruitingEarly Phase 1
TCR-T cell therapy for HLA-A2 positive solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (TCR-T cells) made from your own immune cells. You may qualify if you have a solid tumor that shows a specific target on tumor cells and your body type (HLA-A2) matches what the therapy needs.
