Testing imdusiran for chronic hepatitis B
This trial tests an injected medication called imdusiran (AB-729) to see how it affects the immune system in people with chronic hepatitis B. It is for people who are already stable on oral antivirals and want to try a new approach to possibly control the virus better.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06154785Recruiting
Low pressure gas for colorectal surgery (CROSS study)
This trial compares a low, steady gas pressure method (AirSeal) to standard gas pressure during minimally invasive colorectal surgery. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery and reduces complications.
Jette, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT06155006Recruiting
Hepatitis C screening and treatment link in Colombian hospitals
This study offers free hepatitis C testing to adults in Colombian hospitals, especially those with risk factors like past medical or dental procedures, tattoos, drug use, or certain health conditions. If you test positive, the team will help connect you to treatment.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 18–100 - NCT06155383RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery and immunotherapy combo for stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (Disitamab Vedotin, Toripalimab, and XELOX) given before and after surgery for gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the tumor and prevent it from coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06158139RecruitingPhase 1
Testing modified immune cells for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (called CAR-T cells) that are modified to target a protein called B7-H3 found on pancreatic cancer cells. The goal is to see if this therapy can help shrink or control the cancer.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06157996RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib, Tislelizumab, and CapeOX for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (lenvatinib, tislelizumab, and CapeOX chemotherapy) as the first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that is PD-L1 positive and has a low TMEscore. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06159504RecruitingEarly Phase 1
