AnyangAges 18 years+ - NCT05417321RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test of HB0036 for advanced cancers that ran out of options
This early-phase study tests whether HB0036 is safe and can work in people with advanced solid tumors (cancers) that have come back or spread and did not respond to standard treatments. You may be considered especially if your tumor matches certain tumor types and biomarker results.
Lafayette, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05458219RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an antibody-drug treatment for solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies a new cancer medicine (IBI343) that targets certain tumor cells to see how safe it is and how well it may work. You may be eligible if you have advanced, hard-to-remove cancers and your tumor has a specific marker called CLDN18.2.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07202819Recruiting
Chemotherapy and MRI before bladder surgery
This study looks at how well MRI scans can detect bladder cancer after chemotherapy, before surgery to remove the bladder. It may help doctors know if the chemo is working.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT05116449Recruiting
Supportive care program for women having breast cancer surgery
This trial looks at whether getting supportive oncology care around the time of breast cancer surgery improves quality of life. You would answer questionnaires in French so the team can measure any changes over time.
Guilherand-GrangesAges 18 years+ - NCT05464082RecruitingPhase 2
Collect tumor samples to guide early breast cancer recurrence care
This Phase 2 study tests a “precision” approach using tumor sample testing to help predict, prevent, and treat early metastatic recurrence in triple-negative or hormone-receptor–low, HER2-negative breast cancer. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to provide tumor tissue before (or in place of) standard chemotherapy, so researchers can learn which tumor features matter most.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT05243082Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided heating treatment for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a procedure that uses an endoscope and ultrasound to heat (radiofrequency ablate) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It may help shrink tumors while aiming to be a less invasive option.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05620693Recruiting
Cell therapy study for NY-ESO-1–positive soft tissue cancer
This trial tests an engineered immune cell treatment (NY-ESO-1 TCR-T) for people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that has returned or spread after standard treatment. It aims to treat cancer cells that show a specific marker (NY-ESO-1) in the tumor.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05570994Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
PSMA-targeted radioactive drug for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests a radioactive treatment that targets PSMA, a protein often found on prostate cancer cells. It’s for men whose prostate cancer has worsened despite hormone-blocking pills like abiraterone or enzalutamide, aiming to help shrink or control the disease.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05367778RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of HS-10370 for advanced cancers with KRAS G12C
This trial tests HS-10370, a new targeted medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors that cannot be treated with standard options. It focuses on cancers that have a specific change in the KRAS gene (KRAS G12C).
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05170958RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of LBL-024 for advanced cancers
This trial tests LBL-024 in people with advanced cancer to see how it works and how safe it is. You may consider it if you are well enough for study visits and have time to complete at least about 12 weeks of follow-up.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT05300269RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug SHR-1701 with chemo and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding SHR-1701 to standard chemotherapy and long-course radiation can improve treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery. It’s mainly for people who have not had prior rectal cancer treatment and who fit several health and cancer-spread requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04824950Recruiting
Blood DNA test in newly diagnosed mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma
This study looks at how “circulating tumor DNA” in blood changes in people with newly diagnosed primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. It may help doctors better monitor treatment response alongside standard PET/CT-guided care, which could improve follow-up decisions.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05146440RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug PM14 alone and with radiation for soft-tissue sarcoma
This early-phase study tests PM14 (a new cancer treatment) to see if it can shrink tumors in soft-tissue sarcoma. Some people also receive radiation, aiming to improve tumor control while keeping side effects manageable.
Zaragoza, AragonAges 18–75 - NCT05173246RecruitingPhase 2
First-line treatment study for advanced small cell esophageal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests JS001 plus TP as a first treatment for people with advanced or unresectable small cell esophageal cancer. It aims to see how well this combination controls the cancer and improves outcomes compared with starting treatment with standard options.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04798898Recruiting
RFA plus immune stimulation during liver surgery for colon cancer spread
This trial looks at whether using a heat-based treatment (RFA) to trigger the immune system before or during liver surgery can improve outcomes for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver. It’s aimed at people who plan to have the liver tumors removed because they look treatable.
AarhusAges 18–99 - NCT04881487Recruiting
Radiation treatment for local pancreatic cancer recurrence
This trial looks at additional treatment using a special type of focused radiation (stereotactic body radiation therapy) for pancreatic cancer that has come back only in the same area after surgery. It may help by controlling the local recurrence and possibly improving outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread elsewhere.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05010343RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon ion radiation guided by scans for prostate cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether using detailed scans (PSMA PET/CT and MRI) to guide carbon ion radiation—delivered in a focused way—can treat localized prostate cancer. It may help target the treatment more precisely while avoiding areas that are not involved.
ShanghaiAges 45–85 - NCT04940000Recruiting
Remote video speech therapy check-ins for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether video call speech therapy consultations can work well for people with head and neck (ORL) cancer who need speech/voice support during treatment. It may help you get care closer to home while still being guided by speech therapists.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT05245474RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery chemoradiation plus PD-1 for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial studies giving long-course radiation and chemotherapy before surgery, plus an immunotherapy medicine (PD-1) to help the tumor shrink more. It’s for people with stage II or III rectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04755855Recruiting

Rochester, MinnesotaAges 4 weeks–99 years - NCT05236946RecruitingPhase 3
Brain radiation timing study for gene-mutated lung cancer
This study compares giving brain radiation right away versus waiting, in people with lung cancer that has an EGFR or ALK gene change and has spread to the brain but causes no symptoms. It aims to see which approach helps control the brain cancer better and keeps quality of life stable.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–99 - NCT04712877Recruiting
Blood and tumor testing to choose the right lung cancer treatment
This trial tests tumor tissue and a blood sample to help doctors pick the most personalized treatment for people with suspected lung cancer. It may help ensure you get therapy matched to your specific tumor characteristics, especially when the cancer might be surgically removed.
Davis, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04781634RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CD19 and CD22 targeted CAR-T for hard-to-treat B-ALL
This Phase 1/2 study tests a type of immune therapy (CAR-T cells) made to recognize CD19 and CD22, two markers on B-ALL cells. It is for children and adults with B-ALL that has come back or did not respond to standard treatments, aiming to improve outcomes when other options have failed.
