Liposomal irinotecan, capecitabine and enlonstobart with short radiation for rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of short-course radiation, two chemotherapy drugs (liposomal irinotecan and capecitabine), and an immunotherapy drug (Enlonstobart) for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor before surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07285850RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sequential treatment for advanced liver cancer with fatty liver
This trial tests a combination of two medications, bevacizumab and atezolizumab, given one after the other to treat advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It is specifically for people whose liver cancer is linked to a fatty liver condition (MASLD). The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors or control the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07280949Recruiting
Pain relief study for laparoscopic colon surgery
This study tests a new combination of pain blocks for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see if adding a back muscle block to the standard abdominal wall block provides better pain relief.
Cairo, GovernorateAges 18–90 - NCT07282262RecruitingPhase 2
Ivosidenib for advanced bile duct cancer with IDH1 mutation
This trial tests the drug Ivosidenib for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has a specific genetic change called an IDH1 mutation. It may be an option if you haven't had chemotherapy yet or if your cancer returned more than 6 months after surgery.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07283185Recruiting
Comparing the carbon footprint of EUS and MRCP for bile duct stones
This trial compares the environmental impact of two common tests for bile duct stones: endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). It aims to find out which test has a smaller carbon footprint while still being effective.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–80 - NCT07280143Recruiting
MASLD risk in breast or colorectal cancer survivors
This study looks at whether breast or colorectal cancer survivors are more likely to develop a liver condition called MASLD (fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It uses blood tests, imaging, and possibly an MRI to check liver health.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07283341Recruiting
Diet and Gut Movement in Irritable Bowel Syndrome
This study looks at how diet affects gut movement in children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It may help find better ways to manage IBS symptoms.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 8–18 - NCT07281768RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding two types of immunotherapy (cemiplimab with either fianlimab or REGN7075) to standard chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has not been treated before. It may help shrink the tumor enough to allow surgery that preserves the ability to control bowel movements.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07281716RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy drugs for people with a specific type of colorectal cancer (MSS, or microsatellite stable) that has stopped responding to standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new treatment can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07279350Recruiting
Health advocate support for children after liver transplant
This study tests whether having a health advocate helps families manage care for their child after a liver transplant. The advocate will provide support and resources to reduce stress and improve the child's recovery.
