This trial compares different surgical approaches for removing Siewert type II cancer at the esophagus–stomach junction. It aims to find which operation works best for people who can have the tumor removed.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT05349552Recruiting
Radiation for lung or chest cancers in specific locations
This trial studies how safe and effective a type of focused radiation called SBRT is for cancer tumors in certain chest locations. It’s meant for people whose tumor is small (up to 5 cm) and who don’t have widespread, uncontrolled spread.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05486455Recruiting
Lung cancer screening CT for eligible former and current smokers
This study looks at how well a chest CT scan can detect lung cancer early in people with a significant smoking history. If you qualify, your CT results may help improve future screening for people like you.
MarseilleAges 50–80 - NCT05555888RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus short-course radiation for early rectal cancer
This study tests whether combining immunotherapy with a short course of radiation given before surgery can improve outcomes in early-stage rectal cancer. It may help the immune system work better against the tumor before it is removed.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07167459Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Personalized radiation for early stage lung cancer
This trial tests a personalized radiation treatment called SBRT for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that is located in the outer part of the lung and cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people who cannot have surgery or choose not to.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05417308RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Minoxidil for hair loss from breast cancer hormone therapy
This early-phase study tests whether using minoxidil as a lotion (topical) or by mouth (oral) can improve hair loss caused by breast cancer hormone (endocrine) therapy. It may help you keep or regrow hair while continuing your cancer treatment.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05392699RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ABOD2011 for advanced solid tumors after standard treatment
This Phase 1 trial tests a new medicine (ABOD2011) in people with advanced solid tumors that have come back or spread after standard treatment. It may help by shrinking tumors and allows researchers to study the tumor by giving medicine directly into it and taking a biopsy.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05584800RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced solid tumors that stopped responding
This Phase 1/2 trial studies ZGGS18, a new medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors that either no longer respond to standard treatment or for whom standard treatment isn’t an option. The goal is to see how the drug works and what side effects it causes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05617859RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib treatment for advanced bone or soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests lenvatinib to shrink or control advanced bone or soft tissue sarcoma that can’t be safely treated with surgery. You may be eligible if your cancer has measurable spots and you’ve had specific prior drug treatments without a durable response.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 10–70 - NCT05438537Recruiting
Study of effects of surgery in upper urinary tract cancer
This study looks at what happens in and around the time of surgery for upper tract urothelial cancer. It may help doctors better understand how the disease and the body respond to treatment.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05604963Recruiting
Half or full thyroid surgery for low-risk thyroid cancer
This study looks at people with low-risk thyroid cancer who have already had (or are about to have) surgery, comparing half-thyroid removal versus full-thyroid removal. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective surgery for your cancer type and risk level.
Crewe, CheshireAges 16 years+ - NCT05563012RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation plus chemo and PD-1 immunotherapy for stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving a short course of radiation before surgery, along with chemotherapy and a PD-1 immunotherapy drug, can improve treatment outcomes for locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help shrink the tumor before surgery and strengthen the immune system’s attack on cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05505357Recruiting
Skip breast surgery after excellent MRI response
This trial tests whether some women with HER2-positive breast cancer can safely avoid breast surgery if their tumor nearly disappears after chemotherapy. It uses MRI and biopsy results to find people most likely to have no remaining cancer (pCR).

Registry for outcomes in KRAS G12R pancreatic cancer on MEK therapy
This study keeps a registry (a secure database) to track how people with advanced pancreatic cancer and a KRAS G12R mutation do after treatment with a MEK inhibitor–based combination. It helps doctors understand which outcomes matter most for this specific genetic type of cancer.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05580796RecruitingEarly Phase 1

Dutasteride added to anti-androgen treatment for salivary cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding dutasteride to standard anti-androgen therapy can shrink or slow an advanced salivary gland cancer. It is for cancers that test “androgen receptor (AR) positive,” meaning they may respond to medicines that block male-hormone signals.
